QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: I was 72 in
May, 1962. I earned $1900 in
1962, I was told by a friend
that even though I earned ov
er $1200, I would not need to
report my earnings, since I was
over age 72 part of the year.
ANSWER: After age 72, you
are entitled to a social security
check for every month, no mat
ter how much you earn. How
ever, your earnings in the en
tire year that you reach 72
are counted in figuring what
benefits can be paid to you for
months before your 72nd birth
day. You must file an annual
report of your earnings with
the Social Security Adminis
tration on or before April 15.
1963. This report is necessary
to determine if you were en
titled to payments from Jan
uary through April, 1962.
QUESTION: When I request
a statement of my earnings,
will the statement include all
my earnings up to the time I
make the request?
ANSWER: It takes approxi
mately six months for your
earnings to be posted to your
record. Your entire earnings
for the year will not be avail
able unless you wait until July
of the following taxable year
to request this information.

These are the
emperor's
new clothes.
Can’t you
see them!
The story* is that there once lived an emperor who
was so interested in new clothes that he scarcely
thought about anything else. One day two weavers
suggested that they make him a new suit of clothes
out of an unusual material said to be entirely in
visible to anyone who was silly or unfit for his job.
The emperor was delighted because he thought that
with this remarkable suit he would be able to tell
which of his subjects wore silly and which of his court
unfit for office. The weavers, however, were dishon.
est Pocketing the money the emperor gave them for
the new suit, they only pretended to weave the cloth.
The emperor felt a little odd as he readied himself for
the parade which was to celebrate the completion of
his suit Not wanting to admit either to himself or to
his subjects that he was silly or unfit to be emperor,
he pretended he could see it put it on, and marched
down the street. Everyone who saw him had heard
the story of the cloth and were also ashamed to say
that they could see nothing. Meanwhile, the weavers
laughed to themselves, thinking how easy it was to
make people look silly.
Suddenly a little girl's voice was heard above the
crowd, crying. "But he has nothing on!". Soon every
one was shouting the same thing and the emperor
felt foolish for he knew they were right.
Now the Borough Information Committee doesn't
want to make anyone look silly—we are not in the
business of fooling people. Our concern is for nothing
but the unashamed borough facts, ma'am, and we are
sure that yours is too.
Before weaving your own cloth of government on
September 17 we suggest you stop in at the Informa
tion Centers at Alpine Inn. Malanuska Valley Bank.
