SECTION TWO The Roundup\ I By Wilbokne Harrell A Today —All my life I’ve heard a lot of nonsense about money: Money doesn’t bring happiness; H.n.c.L money is the root of all evil; you can’t take it with you and on and on. But actually money in modest quan tities (not rich es) is one of man’s most loy al friends. It takes care of hospital bills and medical at- tention, buys food, lodging and clothing; brings peace of mind and smooths many a bump in the rocky road of life. Get all of the honest money you can. • A few KNOW YOIIR SOCIAL SEGURITV ] P. E.

Gene Perry’s Texaco Service V PHONE 3U9 - N. Broad Street J THE CHOWAN HERALD extra dollars will never make you, unhappy. Yesterday —No Western movie or TV story would be complete without at least one scene of a stagecoach lumbering over the trails. And there might even be a stage holdup, a favorite bit of technique with Western writers. The prototype of the Old West stagecoach had its origin in Eur ope, found its way to America in j the Colonial era, and reached its ] peak development on the West i ern plains. The most popular and best stagecoach of the Old West was manufactured in Concord, Massachusetts, and became known as the “concord” coach. The stagecoach provided the best and quickest mode of travel in 1 the West, until finally pushed in | the payments they should receive simply because they do not ap ply for them. The most fre quent case is that of the worker over retirement age who is tem ] porarily or permanently laid off. | The worker expects to go back ! tc his old job or get a new one : ‘ and quite often he does return i, to second place by the coming of | the railroad. ■ I Tomorrow —“ Next stop the moon” ■ seems to be next on the space program of the United States. A ■ satellite of the earth, the moon ■ is “only” 239,000 miles away, just : a hop, skip and a jump as dis . tances are measured in space. But the moon is nearer, much nearer, than Mars or Venus, our | nearest planets, and therefore our i j logical first space objective. The White House has given the green light and the Army’s Ballistic . Missile Agency at Huntsville, . Alabama, will carry out our first ' moon program. Time is running out, though, and as Wernher von : Braun has warned, if we don’t i act quickly Russia “may very well” beat us to the moon. to work. But in some cases he is idle for a month or more. Re tirement benefits for the women workers at age 62 and the men at age 65 are payable on a monthly basis under the old-age and survivors’ insurance pro gram. A test of retirement is provid ed by the Social Security Act to insure that only those older workers who have substantially retired from their jobs will re ceive. old age benefits. The pres ent law permits the payment of benefits to the men and women workers under the age of 72 for every month in the year if they do not earn over $1200; if they earn more than the SI2OO some of the checks for that year may I not be payable. After reaching age 72, there is no restriction on earnings amounts. The following chart describes how payments are made and the number of monthy benefits pay able for those who earn over $1200: Annual Monthly Hornings Benefits Payable $1,200 or less 12 $1,200-$1,280 . 11 $1,280.01-$1,360 10 j $1,360.01-$1,440 9 $1,440.01-$1,520 8 $1,520.01-$1,600 7 $!,600.01-$1,680 6 $1,680.01-$1,760 5 $1,760.01-$1,840 4 $1,840.01-$!,920 3 $1,920.01-$2,000 2 $2,000.01-02,080 1 $2,080.01 or more none Even though a person works and earns more than $2080.00 in ja calendar year, he may still re ceive a benefit for any month in which he earned less than SBO.OO or did not work, or any month in which a self-employed person performs no substantial services. After workers reach 72 years of age, they are entitled to bene fit checks regardless of the amount of their earnings. How ever, in figuring the number of payments due in the year they reach age 72, their total earn ings for the whole year may af fect the number of payments due prior to the month they reach age 72. I Even if the worker earns overj SI2OO a year, he may be entitled to some checks for that year and should contact the Norfolk Social Security Office and get more information. Weekly Devotional j Column By JAMES MaeKKNZIR j Continuing the thought of last week’s column, here are a few rules for successful Bible read ing: 1. Read prayerfully. Prayer and the study of God’s Word should be inter-related. When we pray, we speak to God; when we read the Bible, God speaks to us. Before you begin to read your Bible, pause for a moment of prayer. Ask God to open its J meaning to you, and to reveal His will for your life through the Sa cred Page. The message’of com fort and challenge in the Bible will mean more if you read with prayer. 2. Read regularly. Sparodic reading of the Scripture profits but little. The Bible is food for, our spiritual growth, and food should be taken daily. 3. Read consecutively. Try not to jump around in your Bible reading. Begin at the beginning and continue through to the end. 4. Compare Scripture with Scripture. If you have a center reference Bible, look up the ref erences. The comments of men on the Word of God profit little; but often one verse of Scripture will cast just the needed light upon another. The best commen tary on the Bible is the Bible. 5. Mark your Bible. If some promise, some word of comfort or challenge speaks to your heart, | underline it. When you read it I again this will help bring it to i your attention and you will re- ' ceive an added blessing. 6. Read with faith. The Bible is God’s inerrant Word to you and to me. Accept it as such. Be fore you read, consider that you I are entering the very presence of j the Holy God, and are about to, hear Him speak. The Bible is a book we dare not read carelessly [ or flippantly, for it is God’s mes- i sage to us, and it speaks for eter nity. Believe it from cover to “The true aim of educa tion is not personal; its purpose is the general improvement of social fg and political conditions.” w SCIENCE helps to bring comfort lo men. We recog- • nize our professional obliga- lions to the public and to % the individual.

Read it with reference to yourself. Never read with a view ! only to instructing others (a bad i habit that ministers are prone to). Ask yourself, “How does this af fect me?” 8. Memorize it. This is impor tant. The psalmist said, “Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee j (Psalm 119:11). Jesus, when tempted, answered Satan with, “It is written ...” It is good to have the Word of God at the tip of your tongue in times of sor row and adversity. 9. Read the Bible itself, not books about it. It is not the morning sermon, or the Sunday School quarterly, or your daily I devotional guide (important as these are) that is the Word of God | to you, but the Bible. Read it!

Orton Plantation’s Flowers Appear Late After a month’s delay due to the unseasonable weather and early Spring, the Azaleas at Or ton Plantation in Wilmington, are now in bloom and should continue for the remainder of April and perhaps into the early days of May.

Significant perhaps is another fact ... in the areas of nearly all North Carolina industrial concentrations, the system of "legal control" of the sale of beer and ale is in effect.
