f UP, UP AND AWAY FROM McHENRY HOSPITAL i 'SSmwmSS^^SmmiSiS^SSf The strained looks on the faces of McHenry hospital employees, nurses, a physician and a fireman reflect the concern for 4-year-old Michael Briggs, accident victim, who was transferred from the local hospital to a helicopter in the MCHS parking lot on the holiday night. PLAINDEALER PHOTOS A nurse bends over Michael as she consoles the badly injured child just as he was placed in the helicopter. i es<s5 H m Last minute details are undertaken before the helicopter pilot puts his vehicle into the air for the late evening mercy trip to the Chicago hospital. Up, up and away. Within a few moments after the large "bird" landed across Waukegan road from the hospital, it was headed for the return trip to Chicago, where Michael later underwent surgery. Complete details of the accident appear on Page 1 of this issue. SOME WORKERS STILL ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS "There are undoubtedly many persons in Lake and McHenry counties who could receive some social security benefits, even though they are still working. They do not apply for benefits because they do not understand the limit on earnings under the law," Bernard Barnett, district manager of the Waukegan Social Security office, said this week. "They fail to apply for benefits because they believe that if they are working at all, benefits would not be payable to them," Barnett added. THANK YOU This has been my most difficult campaign. A few wilful men in Waukegan have tried to keep McHenry County from having a voice in the affairs of your Congressional District. I have ..carried the fight to all corners of the district and the people of McHenry have backed me to the limit. Yes, it has been a hard campaign. We may still win if we turn out a big vote locally in the election next Tuesday, June 11th - but win^pr lose I am grateful for your loyalty and support in this campaign. Thank You, • Williiii J. Bolger Candidate for delegate to the Democratic Nat'l Nominating Convention Here is the explanation: Under the 1967 Amendments to the Social Security law, a beneficiary ( other than a disabled beneficiary) may now earn up to $*,680 in a year and receive all of his benefit checks. Gross wages from a job, and net earnings from a business are counted as earnings. Income in the form of interest, dividends, pensions, annuities, inheritances, and most rental income, does not count. If earnings are between $1,680 and $2,880 in a year, $1 in benefits will be withheld for each $2 of earnings. If you earn over $2,880 in a year (assuming he worked in all months) $600 of his benefits would be withheld. This is because of the ".one for two" rule for earnings between $1,680 and $2,880. If one earns $2,980 in a year, $700 of his benefits would be withheld, and so on for each additional dollar of earnings. A person may be eligible for some benefits even when his earnings are very high. Benefits are payable in any month an employee does not earn over $140. For the self-employed person, the benefits are payable for any month he does not render substantial services. Whether or not services are substantial depends on the tyjJte services performed but usually a self-employedperson working fewer than 45 hours per month would be eligible for benefits. For more information, contact your Social Security District office at 2500 West Grand avenue, Waukegan, 60085. The office is open from 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. week days and until 8 p.m. on "Mondays.
