Social Security Matters Ask Rusty — Please clear up our confusion about our Social Security payments?
Dear Rusty: I am thoroughly confused. What do I need to do to continue receiving automatic Social Security deposits to my bank account, and maintain our Medicare and Supplement health insurance? My wife has received her SS deposit regularly on the 3rd Wednesday each month with automatic bank deposit for many years. I have received my SS deposit regularly the 4th Wednesday each month with automatic bank deposit also for many years. Can you please tell me what to do to continue receiving these automatic deposits?

Salvation Army of Tipton County helps the people of the community
We’ve all seen them. Starting a bit after Thanksgiving, you walk into Needler’s Fresh Market in Tipton and standing next to a donation bucket and ringing a bell are volunteers for the Salvation Army of Tipton County. Most probably don’t even give it a thought and drop money in their bucket. Some might be curious as to where those donations go.

Plain Vanilla ‘The rest of the story’
I am sitting here after one o’clock in the morning thinking of an incident that took place when my father was 85 years of age. I took him out to Doctor Fearnow’s small orchard to introduce him to the old gentleman. We stood in the driveway next to the stand where the man sold his produce. The two men exchanged some experiences, found that they had some things in common. Dad was a minister, the doctor had been a missionary to Haiti in his younger day, he said.
