“•Growers should shear their
I sheep as soon as possible,” says
Mr. Overman. “Be sure sheep are
; dry when sheared. Roll each
fleece separately. Pack wool in
cotton bags and store in a dry
I place. Don’t put wool in burlap
bags because the jute fibers stick
to the wool and impair the quality.
; Growers can use clean cotton feed
bags for wool. To make larger
bags, rip feed bags open and sew
: them together. Bags will be re
turned when the wool is delivered.”
Growers should be sure to keep
their sale slips and take them to
the County ASC Office and make
; application for their incentive pay
ment. *
, Growers who wish to have thr-J
'county agent arrange for hauling
, their wool from Edenton to Wash
ington should notify him giving the
-number of fleeces they will have.
'This should be done well in advance
so that arrangements can be made.
Every bag should be tagged with
' the grower’s name and address.

FRED DODGE ;
TEXT: “Adventure must start
with running away from home.”
—Wm. Bolitho
A mother left her daughter at
home one evening while she step
ped next door. Returning, she
found her daughter in bed.
“Sarah,” she said, “did you say
your prayers?”
“Yes, mama,” the little girl re
plied.
“But who did you say them to?”
“Well, mama,” the child said,
“when I went to bed there wasn’t
anyone to say my prayer to, so 1
said them to God.”
The first time that we step out
side the routine set by those who
supervise us, our blood races. We
tingle with excitement. For som«,
One Out Os Five Americans Moves Yearly
Americans continue to be the
movingest people. Figures com
piled by the U. S. Bureau of the
Census show that 33 million per
sons of all ages changed homes in
the year ending in March, 1956.
This represented one person out of
every five in the civilian popula
tion, a proportion which has shown
no important change from year to
year over the past decade.
The majority of these movers
were young, under 30, but there
were a substantial number of old

that instant of adventure is too
much. * They retreat, hastily, to
1 the guardianship of supervised liv
ing. Ever after, when adventure
I beckons, they recall that excitingly
uncertain moment of being respon
sible for themselves. They refuse
to try it again.
The child, without her mother,
dared to break with tradition and
do what she thought best. She said
her prayer to God. That is exactly
what she should have done all
along.
The props and safeguards which
our parents build around us are to
keep us from falling when we can
not support ourselves. To cling to
them forever, is to miss the zest of
living and fail to reach life’s real
goals.

KHOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Commis
sion, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Carolina Em
ployment Security Commission in Citizens Bank Building.
'
If you have worked substantial- ■
ly under social security and have
become disabled to the extent that
you are no longer able to work or
that your earnings have been ma
terially reduced because of your
disability, it would be advisable for
you to contact your social security
representative before June 30,
1957 so that the entire period of
your disability may be frozen and
your social security account pro
tected against reduction or total
loss.
The basic idea of social security
has been that workers and their
employers and self-employed per
sons contribute to a fund while
they are working-and when earn
ings stop because of death of the
.worker or ‘because of his retire
ment, payments are made from the
fund to the worker and his de
pendents or to his survivors. Now
under recent changes in the social
security program, severely disabled
people who, -because of their con
dition, are unable to work can pro
test their future benefits rights,
and those who are over 50 years
of age or older may receive'month

stance the disability must have ex
isted for at least six months.
Disabled workers of 50 years of
age or older can now apply for
monthly social security disability
payments, effective July 1957 if
the work requirements are met and
an application is filed before De
cember 30, 1957. Applications fil
ed after that date are retroactive.
Disabled workers who are not
yet 50 years of age can protect
their rights to future benefits for
themselves and their families by
applying to have their social se
curity records frozen. UiJess Con
gress changes the present law, a
period of disability of only one
year can be frozen if application is
filed after June 30, 1957.
Disabled children of retired

who have died can apply for social
security benefits even if they are
18 years of age or older if they
were disabled before their 18th

RECORD MILK PRODUCTION
Milk production oft North Caro
lina farms during April is estimat
ed at a record 155 million pounds,
according to the N. C. Crop Report,
ing Service. Production for April
exceeded that for the comparable
period of 1956 by 6 million pounds.
Milk production per cow in herd on
May 1, 1957, averaged 18,7 pounds
compared with 17.9 pounds a year
earlier. The percent of milk cows
milked on May 1, 1957 was 76.0
compared with 75.0 a year ago.
Pastures were reported, in above
average condition on May' 1 and
this contributed to the increased
flow of milk daring the latter half
of April. .
