do not fully understand their Are Entertained
rights and obligations under social
security, Everell Cummins, field
representative of the Portland
social security office declared this
week.
Because of misunderstanding,
Cummins said, many returns are
being filed by persons in the ex­
cluded group of self-employed
people. Certain specified profes­
sions such as doctors, lawyers,
dentists, architects, and profes­
sional engineers are not covered
by old-age and survivors insur­
ance.
"On the other hand,
Cum­
mins added, "returns are not
being filed by some who are re­
quired to do so."
Cummins says that some people
do not know the amount of self­
employment income that should
be reported for social security
purposes. What actually counts
towards old-age and survivors
insurance are the NET earnings
(gross income less allowable busi­
ness deduction) from a covered
trade or business. The NET earn­
ings must be at least $400 during
the taxable year and no more
than $3600 for the year can b
credited to a social security ac­
count. In case of a partnership,
tach partner will include in his
NET earnings his distributive
share of the ordinary net income
or loss from the partnership en­
terprise. If husband and wife
operate a business as a genuine
partn.rship enterprise, each will
report his or her rasp ctive share
of the business profits as net
earnings, and each will receive
social security credit.
But, if
only the husband or only the wife
is the so' ■ owner of the business,
even though the other helps in
the business, then the owner
alone will tarn social security
credits.
Another frequent mistake point­
ed out by Cummins, is the in­
clusion of income not directly
connected with the trade cr busi­
ness; such as dividends and in­
terest from stocks and bonds,
rentals from real estat.1 (where
the self-employed person is not
a real estate dealer) gains from
speculation, etc.
By the same tok-n, and pro­
bably more serious, he said, is
the failure to take into considera­
tion that certain business ex­
penses must be d.duct’d before
arriving at proper net earnings
for social security purposes.
There are other misunder­
standings Cummins said; but the
ones listed are the most frequent
and the ones in which most of
the errors take place.
Cummins urged those in doubt
as to their social security status
to contact him or the representa­
tive accompanying him in St.
Helens on Monday, December 15.
Hours will be from 1:00 to 3:00
p.m. and the location will be the
second floor of the St. Helens
Court house. With two repre­
sentations here Monday there
should be very little waiting.

the railroad tracks where they
parallel the road near the bluff.
Lola Fugate ha« been confined

Several loads of gravel applied
to the western approach to the :
bluff have helped the chuck holes
there, but the bluff itself is now
a strictly one-car road. Many
thanks are expressed for the
gravel already applied with hope
it won't be too long until some
of the other bad holes will be
filled.
