The payment error rate is the percent of total pay ments made to ineligible individuals and overpay ments to eligible indivi duals. The Supplemental Security Income is a fe derally administered in come-maintenance pro gram for aged, blind or disabled people who have" little or no income or re sources. The overall percentage of Supplemental Security Income cases containing errors, both payment and administrative, decreased significantly during the period, from 13.2 percent to 12 percent. The payment error rate for underpayments, repre senting money not paid, for the latest measuring period (April-September 1979) was 1.3 percent, down from t.5 percent for the pre ceding six-month period. During fiscal year 1979, the SSI program paid out nearly $6.65 billion to 4.2 million recipients. Of this amount, $5.16 billion came from general revenues of the U.S. Treasury. The re mainder came from state supplements to the federal aayment. Cunningham’s son, Hon Cunningham will also par ticipate in the operation of the business. As a licensed real estate broker and li censed radio announcer, his professional experienc es of associating with peo ple will be an asset to business. “I plan to learn every inch of the business from beginning to end and make myself proficient in run ning it," he explained. “Everything my father has touched so far has worked and I want to be a part of it." "Pete” Cunningham said the only thing that hender ed the opening of the restaurant was finding the right people to run it. “I won’t be here and I had to find competent, experienc ed people - that’s hard to find. Cunningham will spend the majority of his time at his other business, entitled Hatchett and Cun ningham Associates Per sonnel Agency. Pete’s Barbeque, accord ing to Cunningham, will virtually be run by the others; Brooks, who is 63 and retired says he is just helping out. He has 47 years of experience as a cook. And Lloyd, the man ager, has been in the food service business since 1947. Cunningham’s sharp business character, profes sional personnel, com pounded with one of the best locations in town, will probably equal a success ful business. But the busi ness will still have to con tend with the economy, yet it doesn’t frighten Cunning ham. His only response, “People always have to eat." President For 2nd Term CIAA Elects Eddie McGirt tty Teresa Burns ‘ Post Staff Writer The teams of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic As sociation (CIAA) Tourna ment are living up to their motto, “Fourteen of the Finest.” One reason is Ed die McGirt. He recently was re-elected by the CIAA membership to serve a second year term as presi dent. His sideline strategies are already underway. “Right now we have a contract with the Black Entertainment Sports Net work,” McGirt revealed this week. He is interested in all people being exposed to sports, not just an elect few. Through the CIAA, Black colleges have the oppor tunity to expore their athle tics as well as the white colleges, McGirt explain ed. Even though McGirt says future plans include obtaining a contract from a larger media, the CIAA players have been exposed on television various times. The basketball tourna ment is the most success ful, with fans coming from all around to observe the competing top eight teams in the division. “I am going to concentrate on things not so successful,” McGirt commented. For instance the football “Gold Bowl,” the spring and winter sports are just as intrigu ing as the basketball games. "I would like to keep the CIAA viable, the organ ization moving and im prove the image in all sports,” McGirt continued. So, if McGirt has his way, fracki_football1_8wimming, Eddie C. McGirt ...JCSU Athletic director golf and all the other sports sgonsoredbjUieCIAAwill Decome successful ven 1 tures. 1 At times there is bo other place for Black athletics, McGirt said, but the CIAA meaning goes even deeper than that. “We have four teen Black colleges that are important to our coun try,” he continued. There is no doubt that McGirt’s professional'JU periences have helped him preside over the CIAA.

Roosevelt, in an effort to uplift the morale of America’s citizens during World War II, said: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” But nothing stays the same, and those words have little meaning today for many who are approaching the age for retirement. Senior Citizens have many things to fear: insufficient funds, robbery, loneliness, poor housing, inadequate nutrition, and plain ol’ indifference from society. But that is not how it should be in these United States of America. These older citizens have worked hard on many jobs, weathered the storm of bias and hatred, paid taxes to support this nation, fought in wars to preserve democracy, and fallen on their knees to "open doors” so that we Blacks, coming behind them, could work at new and better jobs. And yet we stand by, silently, and watch them struggle to live their re maining years with some dignity and pride. We can write our political repre sentatives and tell them that the Social Security laws must be amended so as to be relevant to today’s economic require ments. We can alert the police about that hoodlum element which steals their checks, snatches their purses, or breaks into their homes because they are old and defenseless; and we can take the time to extend the hand of friendship with a friendly hello or an offer to run an errand. i he suggestions are simple, economi cal, and real, and, my friends, don’t ever forget that the hands of time continue to move, and soon they will be you.
