Question: I have been an
or­
dained minister for a number of
years but did not wish social se-
■ eurity coverage when it was first
, available. Is it too late to
ob­
tain coverage now?
Answer: Recent changes in the j
law give ministers untii April 15, i
1959 to obtain social seucrity cov­
erage. Such coverage w ill pe com­
pulsorily effective for 1956 and
all succeeding years.
Question: In May, 1957, I filed
a waiver certificate to
request i
social security coverage earlier
Can I obtain credit for any earlier
years?
Answer: You can obtain cover­
age for the year 1956 if you act
without delay.
Yoc must file a
I new waivgr
certificate before
April 15, 1959 and mark it ‘Sup­
plemental.’
Question: I am a Chirstian Sci-
| <’nce practioner, and I filed self-
employment social security
re-
j ports for each year starting with j
j my tax return for 1955. I
did
| not know about filin g a
waiver [
certificate. W ill I lose my social
security fo r those years?
Answer: You should file a waiv­
er certificate with the Director
o f Internal Revenue immediately.
Because you filed a tim ely return
for 1955, you w ill probably be ab­
le to obtain credit for that year
The waiver certificate will cover
you on a compulsory basis
for
1956 and all following years
in
which you have net earnings ot
$400 o r more, any part of whicn
is derived from the exercise of
your ministry.

Tough-built Chevy truck bulls its way
deep into the woods for mammoth loads
This hie/ Scries fill Chevy bulls its way as far
as S miles into the Louisiana woods, fights over
ruts and jagged stumps . . . then grinds hack
out with towering loads of logs! The Sabine
Lumber Company attests to the truck's ability
to take it: " Chevrolet makes the best truck for
our type of operation.”
Out where a truck is known fo r the beating it can
take, Chevy’s making friends fast. Truckers like the
way these toughies hold up; the way they wade
right in, take their lumps, yet stay in shape.
. Toda>'- if’3 9rit that Chevy’s showing the truck­
ing industry. Real toughness that pays off in job-
atter-job dependability . . . in ability to get work
done at least expense. You can match Chevy muscle
against any tough light-, medium- or heavy-duty
job and know you’ve srot it beat!
Your Chevrolet dealer's ready right now to meet
your special work requirements. Stop by and see
