KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social pwur'tr Ad
ministration. is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro.
Una Employment Security Commission in oilisens baas
Building.
—
Farmers know there is a time (
to plant, to cultivate, and a time-;
to take in the crops. How j
many know there is a time to j
look at their social security pro- j
tection? Finding out about so-1
cial security too late could be -
worse than planting a crop tool
late.
Many farmers -have not re-:
ported their farm earnings and
it will soon be too late for j
many, especially in the older age'
group, to gain the social seeuri-1
ty credits that may mean the 1
difference between protection |
and no benefits at all.
If a farm operator has net j
earnings of S4OO or more in a i
year, he must report those earn
ings for social security. Thisi
will give him credits for the
year. But even though he does 1
not clear S4OO in the year, he ;
has an option to report from,
S4OO to SI2OO for that year de-;
pending up his gross farm in
come. This option is given only,
to farmers. But many farmers

( Who had poor years have not
! taken advantage of the option
j and are losing credits for criti
- cal years.
j It is still not too late for a
1 farmer to correct his social se
| eurity tax returns back to 1956.
J The farmer, like anyone else,
j needs a certain number of social
! security credits before benefits
can be paid. Failure to file re
j turns for a year such as 1956
could mean in many cases, a loss
: of protection or a substantial de
crease in the benefit rate.
| Tax returns can be amended
j back to 1956 if the corrected re
j turn is filed this year. It is now
i too late to file an amended re
-1 turn for the year 1955.
! Farmers, especially in the low
earnings group and those ap
: proaching retirement age, should
1 look into their social security'
, this year for their own pro
jection and that of their famil
' lies. If there is any question
about how self-employment farm
1 earnings should have been re-
ported in .the last three years,
it is a good idea to see your
social security representative
with a copy of the tax returns
for those three years. Or -if no
returns were filed for a year, a
record of the farm eanings
should be brought .along.

Hope our new fall schedule
at WCDJ sounds good. Gives us
ban extra 15 minutes in the early
part of the morning for “Reveil
le with Roberts”. Even gives us
a chance to come back, follow
i ing the Chowan Hospital report,
with more music on the pop |
side, plus news of some events .
in and around the area. Once!
again, we’re busy broadtasdng |
the football games and we’ve
got Nick George turning in a
fine play-by-play job. The broad
casts are heard every Saturday
morning at 9:30. Coach Billings
follows with his show. Thought
“Al Capone” Was the best pic
ture of its type since “Dillin
ger”. Rod Steiger turned in an
electrifying performance. Tele- ,
vision version of Capone, paled,
by comparison. They don’t send ,
out New Year’s greeting cards j
like they used to. I have a very |
handsome plate, says compli- J,

All around it, a calendar. The ’,

Carolina State Fair takes place
from the L3th to the 17th of Oc-; (
tober. Talk more about it in a
later column. This was sent in
by a woman (obviously): “Near- ,
ly every town has its share of;
girls who are still single, because 1
they couldn’t stay awake while j
some fellow talked about him
self.” Civic groups around the ,
country cry for less sex and vio
lence in the movies. What hap
pens? Decent family pictures j
such as “Stars in My Crown”, \
and “Shepherd of the Hills”,
starve at the box-office, while!
others flourish. Do those who'
campaign for decency on the sil-;
ver screen support the good i
family pictures? I wanted to j
write a poem about our recent I
visitors, but I can’t think of a j
thing that rhymes with Khrush
chev; unless it’s orange. I’ll |
close without a poem. I’ll close
with best wishes for a happy
week.

The awareness of God comes
only when one gives God sacri
ficially his best.
Malachi’s followers deemed
God to have a local special in
terest in them —with the impli
cation that he cared for others
much less, if at all. To this
Malachi responds that the name
of God is exalted not only in
Israel but elsewhere throughout
the world. This was the be
ginning of the belief in the uni
versality of God, carried further
by Jesus who said, “I have other
sheep not of this fold.” There

;is no awareness' abroad in his
j world for the man who delib
erately confines God to his own
| backyard. Wherever Ife• is
greatly lived, men have the con
viction of God’s concern for all
1 people everywhere,
i It is difficult to become re
sponsible for brothers whom we|.
have never seen. Loyalty to a
; universal God caring for all hu
manity means in effect that we
have a concern for not only our
friends, but our enemies.
Throughout the history of j
Christianity there have been out
standing examples of loyalty to
God —even at the expense of life
itself. Wycliffe and Huss sacri
ficed their ljves for their beliefs.
These and others witnessed for
the New Day, and died for their
witness.
There is a higher form of re
ligion than that practiced for :
j self-advancement. This is when ,
one inwardly becomes aware of '
| what the love of Gcd is—what it j
! means and does for him. A|;
I gratitude arises in his heart so: j
great that he cannot refrain fiomj i
being loyal to God, just for the - <
joy of being loyal. It is selfless!
love expressed not to gain any I -
reward, but for its own sake, i,
The composer of fine and mov- j i
ing music- continues his work, i •
knowing that he has little hope
of payment or recognition. The :
surgeon who arises in the middle (
of the night to care for some $
drunk brought in from the gut- !
ter, battles to save that life with i
no idea of reward; the father 1
and mother sitting up night as- -j
ter night with the sick child who j
can never recover—these serve j
with no thought of reward.
So it is with loyal service to 1
God. One seeks no reward. f 1
Loyalty is not given because we J
must give it, but because we:;
may. The supreme expression of s
this sort of loyalty is revealed in •
Jesus. He never was coerced in-. J
to doing anything. 1 1
Malachi says that God keeps (
a book of remembrances. He j -
does not forget those who have (
been loyal. This reveals one of
the profund paradoxes of life, j S
The man who serves God with i 1
no thought of reward in the (
end is rewarded by God. ( (
