Know The Weather
By E. H. SIMS
In summer, what can you learn
>y noting the height of the early
norning clouds?
The height of summer cumulus
:louds gives you an important
veather clue. During the remaini
ng summer days you might want
:o take advantage of this weather
jmen in making the day's plans.
If the morning's early clouds are
low, that means there is a consi
derable amount of moisture in the
air, because the day's updraft# or
thermals are not rising very high
before they turn into visible mois
ture droplets.
Chances of rain are better (from
thunderstorqjs) than if the clouds
form at a great height, which will
be an indication that there it not
as much moisture in the air ? since
condensation is not taking place
as quickly.
JULY SETS JOB RECORDS
A total of 53,198,000 persons had
regular wage or salary paying jobs

was 14,000 above the number in
July of last year.
The Labor Department reported
this and said increased defense
spending would spur continued
l moderate gains in employment.

Labor Day Traffic Will
Bring Tragic Accidents
The annual "big puata" of motor
iats to enjoy summer's last long
boll day weekend ? extending
through Labor Day, Monday, Sept
4 ? will bring tragic death to at
least 23 persons in traffic assi
lenu on North Carolina's streets
tnd highways, predicts the N. C.
State Motor Club.
Highway fatalities will be count
ed from 6 p. m. Friday through
midnight Monday, a 78-hour per
iod. The state's Labor Day traffic
toll last year added up to 21, but
the motor club increased its esti
mate in view of the fact that na
tional highway death records were
ihattered this year for both the
Memorial Day and Fourth of July
Holidays.
Thomas B. Watkins, preaident of
N. C. State Motor Club and the
National Automobile Association,
warned that the vast flow of traf
fic?traditionally the greatest of
the year ? will clog roads leading
to the mountain*, seashore and
other resorts, and most of the
state's two million motor vehicles
will be on the road.
Urging motorists to exercise ex
treme caution, he declared, "Our
motor club is joining wholeheart
edly with the State Highway Pat
rol in sponsoring the special
'Light Your Pledge For Safety*
campaign. Motorists are urged to
drive with their headlights on ?
both day and night ? during the
holiday period as a pledge that
they will drive safely."
The Highway Patrol's entire
622 troopers will be out in full
force over the weekend in sn ef
fort to hold down the traffic
deaths.
Information For Veterans
Overpayment! of GI benefits to
veterans are subject to recovery
by the government, Lionel Ward,
Watauga county Veterans Service
Officer, said this week.
But veterans can prevent over
payments by promptly reporting
changes in their income or de
pendency status, the county officer
pointed out.
Overpayments to veterans re
reiving service-connected disability
compensation are generally made
because the veterans fail to re
port changes in marital status or
number of dependents. Prompt re
ports of divorce, remarriage, or
death, enable the Veterans Ad
ministration to keep its records
current and prevent overpayments,
Mr. Ward said.
Permanently and totally disabled
veterans receiving non-service con
nected pensions for service in
World War I, World War II, or the
Korean Conflict may be overpaid if
they fail to keep the Veterans Ad
ministration informed about their
other income. The regulations pro
vide that the amount of the pen
sion check vary with the amount
of income the veteran receives. A
veteran with dependents may not
receive pension if his income ex
ceeds $3,000.00. If the veteran is
tingle, his income may not ex
ceed $1,800.00.
For further information contact
Ur. Ward, who is located in the
Watauga County Courthouse An-I
nex, or Robert F. Currence, DisJ
trict Officer, North Carolina Vet I
erans Commission, Frye Building,
Hickory.
