The theme of the seventh an
nual Homemakers Short Course

Mrs. Lydia-Hansen said today.
Mrs. Fohn-Hansen is associate

management are the four work
shops. Each woman will sign for
one of them when she registers
and attend the four-day session
from 1:00 to 3:00 each ai'ternoon.
Home demonstration clubs will
take turns acting as hostesess
for tea. After tea, the women
will split into three groups to at
tend demonstrations. Two mar
ket baskets, rug making, music
for children, preserving seafood,
herb cookery, draperies and wall
decorations are some of the dem
onstrations planned for the pro
gram.
Morning sessions will be di
vided into a lecture and discus-.
sion session and business meet
ings for home demonstration
club delegates. Officers of the

New Benefits Under
Social Security
Widows, wives, and retired
women workers who have reach
ed the age of 62 may now file
application for their Social Se
curity benefits, it was announc
ed by Everell Cummins, Anchor
age representative of the Social
Security Administration.
Benefit rights for women at
age 62 are part of the 1956 am
endments to the Social Security
Act, recently passed by Congress
and signed into law by the
President August 1.
Widows whose husbands were
covered under Social Security
will no longer need to wait un
til age 65 to draw their monthly
benefits. Wives of retired work
ers and women who have become
insured under Social Security
also may choose to start getting
benefit payments at age 62.
However, they would, receive a
higher monthly benefit by wait
ing until age 65.
Other new features in the Am
ended Act provide coverage for
dentists and lawyers retroactive
to January 1, 1956. Also, pay
ments will be made to some dis
abled workers at age 50, start
ing in July 1957. To finance the
changes, the law provides for a
raise of the Social Security
(FICA) tax rate beginning Janu
ary 1, 1957. Both the employer
and employee share of the tax
will raise to 2V4%, The present
rate is 2% each.
Farmers may now elect Social
Security coverage if they wish,
based on two-thirds gross, includ
ing up to $1800. With a net pro
Upon no other occasion is it so
important that "everything be
as it should be" as in the con
duct of a funeral service. We
are faithfully attentive to
every detail.
