Funds for his visit were prvided

It was pointed out by Dr. Al

many of the important varities
in Alaska have come from Scan

Dr. Nissen said there are seven

in Norway, doing experimental
work similar to that conducted
here. Some of these stations are
located in the northern section
with one, by comparison, located
further than Nome.
The visiting scientist will go
to Montana at the end of July
to attend the .International Con
gress of Genetics, attending as
Norway’s official representative.

YOU AND YOOR
SOCIAL SECURITY^
With the filing of tax returns
by April 15, most self-employed
people are building additional
protection for themselves and
family under the social security
law it was stated by Ev Cummins
district manager of the Juneau
social security office. Cummins
also advised that this includes the
professional self-employed who
were first covered by social se
curity in 1956.
In order to secure proper credit,
it is necessary that the Schedule
C of the federal tax return be ac
curate, and complete with the re
quired information, it was stated.
Attention was called to the fact
that compliance with the rules
will not only save time and
money now but will insure
prompt receipt of future benefit
payments.
Cummins stated that benefit
payments under the old-age, sur
vivors, and disability insurance
program are not based on charity
or need, but are geared to the
self-employment income le\fel.
Monthly payments for an indi
vidual range from $24 to $108.50
depending on the average in
come. Family benefits can
amount to as much as $200
monthly.
Since the advent of self-em
ployed coverage under social se
curity, Cummins stated that rec
ords of the Juneau office indi
cated many such persons in Al
aska have qualified, and are cur
rently receiving benefit pay
