Much Old Age Insurance
Money Lying Unclaimed
Lump Payments Ready
For Workers Reaching
65 This Year
. Thousands of dollars are lying
unclaimed in the United States
Treasury because those to whom
the money now due. under the old
age insurance provisions of the So
cial Security . Act have not filed
claims for the amounts due them,
Graham Martin, manager of the
Asheville field office of the social
security, board, which serves this
area, said today.
A large number of workers who
have reached 65 since January 1,
1937, and the estates or relatives
of eligible workers who have died
since December 31, 1936, apparent
ly are unaware the social security
board is making lump-sum pay
ments now to those eligible persons
who file claims, Mr. Martin said.
Although actuarial experts be
lieve that there are 751 persons in
the 19 western North 1 Carolina
counties covered by the Asheville
field office who would be entitled
to secure lump-sum payments this
vfar there, have been only 120
claims filed to date from this area
It was estimated that 14 claims
would be filed from Macon county
However, only one claim lias so
far been received.
It is probable that many persons
to whom lump-sum payments are
due have not filed claims because
they do not know the social secur
ity board is making such payments
now. They may be confused by the
wide notice given the fact that
payment of monthly old-age bene
fits will not 'begin before January,
1942. .
Another reason may be that the
sums due to many persons are
small. The lump-sum. payment
amounts to per cent of the
total wages of the eligible worker.
For example: Suppose wages total
led $1,000; the 34 per cent lump
sum payment would be $35; it
wages totalled $100 the Vi per
cent lump-sum payment would be
$3.50. Many workers seem doubt
ful about what is meant by "total
wages." . Total wages, under tiie
Act, means the sum of all the
wages paid by all employers for ah
the time an employee worked in
covered employment after Decem
ber 31, 1936, and prior to death or
reaching 65, not counting wages
over $3,000 from any one employee
Naturally the lump-sum payment
due a man who reached 65 on Jan
uary 3, after being paid for one
working day, will not be s great
as the amount due to the man who
received an equal daily wage even
working day since last December
31 till now.
Yet anoth'er reason many eligible
persons have not filed claims seems
to be they do not know they are
eligible. Lump-sum payments now
are due to two groups of persons:
First, to the worker himself who
has reached 65 since January 1,
1937, and . who has been paid wages
lor work done as an employee
since December 31, 1936, and be
fore he reached 65.
Second, to the estate or relatives
of a worker, no matter what his
age, who has died since December
31, 1936, provided the deceased
worker had been paid, wages for
Work done as an employee, after
December 31, 1936, and before he
reached 65.
. Every assistance will be given
by the Asheville field office of the
social security board to those who
inquire about , payments or who
wish to file claims.

Meadow strips in the demon

lespedezas are added the following

Adequate storage facilities for
clothes, cooking utensils,, cleaning
supplies, medicines, and other
household articles add to the con
venience of a home.
'1 he fundamental principles for
yocd storage,' according to Pauline
.Gordon, home management special
ist of the State college extension
service, are : '.
Articles should 'be stored at or
close to the places where they are'
used. Articles should be stored in
such a way that each may be re
moved without handling any other
article.
The storage space should fit the
size and shape of the articles tc ft't
be stored, and should also be in j (iCiltllK1

Tells How He Got
Biggest Hay Crop
More feed than he had ever got
ten from one acre before, is the
way Ernest Long, a tenant on the
farm of Joe Grarit in the erosion
control demonstration aya near
Burlington, describes his crop of
hay from, a one-acre meadow strip.
The strip was mowed three times
this summer and produced two tons
of the best quality hay he had
ever seen, Mr. Long said.
Fifty-six meadow strips, compris
ing 51 acres, have been construct

FORD offers two new cars for 1938
the Standard Ford V-8 and the De
Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap
pearancebut built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence on
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1937 car so
well, they bought more than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
performance, and the way it handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advantages.
For them, we designed a new De Luxe line.
The De Luxe Ford V- 8 Sedans are longer
with more room, larger luggage space,
and finer appointments all around.
De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85
horsepower engine only,
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. It has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors with a choice
of engine sizes 85 or 60 horsepower.
Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en
gines available to every one, they were
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine enjoyment of driving an eight
cylinder car! with all-around economy.
The thrifty "60" engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models a very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you'll find a
1938 Ford car to fit your needs exactly.
