AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Some farm
workers I hire request that I
not dedcut social security taxes
from their wages. Should I com
ply with their requests?
ANSWER: If you pay a farm
worker as much as $150 cash
wages in a year, or if he works
for you on a time basis on part
of at least 20 days during the
year, you are obligated to re
port his earnings and pay the
tax. Failure to do this on time
may result in your having to
pay a penalty plus interest. It
is your responsibility to report
the wages and pay the full tax
even though you fail to deduct
the employee’s share from his
wages.
QUESTION: I am 66 but I
hesitate to apply for social se
curity because I am earning
$2000 a year. Would I be penal
ized for earning over 1200?
ANSWER: There would be
deductions from the total bene
fit you normally would get for
the year, but you would not
necessarily lose all of your
benefits. We would withhold
$1 in social security for every
$2 you earn from $1200 to $1700.
This would amount to $250 in
your case. Also, we would de
duct $1 for every $1 you earn
ed above the $1700 bracket.
This would be another $300 de
ducted in your case. Therefore,
you would receive all but $550
of your social security since
you earned $2000. You should
apply for your benefits imme
diately. You may be due some
payment for last year.
QUESTION: I’m going to be
married this month. Do I need
to notify social security that
I have done so?
ANSWER: You should take
your account number card to
your nearest social securty of
fice. You will be given another
card with your new name but
with the same number you al
ready have,

Tomorrow-GO JET-SMOOTH CHEVROLET for 63
If it didn’t say Chevrolet on the flanks of the
superb automobile you see here, you’d have a
hard time proving it’s a low-priced car. It offers
luxurious styling, extremely comfortable, spacious
and silent interiors ... plus a lot of invisible ways
to keep it looking and running like new when a lot
of others have started to sag and sigh: new flush1
and dry rocker panels under the doors to guard
against rusting . . , self-adjusting brakes . . .
Delcotron generator for longer battery life. If
you ever wondered why Chevrolet leads its field,
a drive in this ’63 should answer all vour Questions.

•«J CHEVY JE NOVA SPORT COUPE
Hard as it may be to believe, this year’s Chevy II is
better, better than last year’s and better than any
thing in its class. It combines all the new easy-care
features of the big Chevrolet with its own wonderful
attributes of parkable size, four- or six-cylinder fuel
economy and interiors that’d do justice to cars with
twice its price and half its charm.

Change it? Calm yourself, nobody’s going to mess
with a winner like this one! We did add self-adjusting
brakes and a more fully aluminized muffler; interior*
and outside trim are refined a bit, but the rest is pur*
Corvair with all the over-the-road goodness thgt
implies. Oh yes, we changed the taillighta so all
those people you pass will know you’re driving • »**
