Little Family Unites For First Family Reunion DJ «Uan EjllSWVrUI Post Staff Writer Four generations of des cendant^ from the Little family united here on Saturday, July 12, at the YMCA on East Trade St. for their first reunion. The 221 family members who attended came from Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Ohio as well as North and South Carolina. Participants included eight of the daughters born to family founders Louise and Tom Little, 57 grand children, 106 great-grand children, and SO great great-grandchildren. Tom Little, an Anson County native, married Louise Sellers in 1903. They had 11 children. The Littles worked as sharecroppers on a family.plantation and sent their children to school. Ten of the Little family W7· · 1 ■ A - - ott spring married and fur ther expanded the desceiu ants, one died very young. These children are Marj Harrell, Thomas Little,. Sarah Leak, Giinie Me Bride, Winnie Floyd, Corf Cash, Edith Smith, Ethei Bittle, Bessie Joines (de ceased) and Es tell Blue. Organized by Ethel Bittle and Winnie Floyd, the re union opened with a song fest given by the grand children. Ethel Bittle was the Mistress of ceremonies. Ar opening song, "What A Fellowship" was followed by Cora Cash giving a scripture reading. Winnie Floyd led the group in prayer and Linda Kelly followed with a song.

"We must develop new creative, common-sense approaches to deal with the long-term problem of infla tion," Kincaid said. "In addition, we must take other steps to assure in come security for our senior citizens." He said, "I· believe a separate Consumer Price Index should b® develoœd for senior citizens to be used for determining Social Security cost of living ad justments. It should be weighed to reflect the price changes on items senior citizens spend most of their money on - necessi ties such as food, energy and health car*» " Noting senior citizens' concern about the con tinued solvency of Social Security, Kincaid endorsed a plan to allow reallocation of revenue between the retirement disability and hospital trust funds as a means of keeping the re tirement fund afloat. For the long-term. Kin caid said we should consi der removing the Medicare portion of Social Security from the Social Security fund and Finance it instead through general revenues. "Such a move would make it possible to assure suffi cient revenues to pay retirement and disability benefits for the next 75 years," Kincaid said, citing a study by the Ad visory Council on Social Security. Because the American population is getting older, we may have to consider raising the minimum re tirement age, Kincaid said. And he said we should quit penalizing senior citizens who want to work by re moving limits on the in come a person can earn and still collect full bene fits. "There is no limit on the amount of dividends and interest a person may collect and still receive Soçial^eurity^^^^^" Mrs. Smith, together I· with Mrs. Bittle, presented the eldest sister, Mary Har rell with a plaque inscribed with the names of the eight surviving daughters and a corsage.
