THE OLD AGE ASSISTANCE PLAN' There are thoiusands of North Carolinians who will be eligible for aid under provisions of the Old Age Assistance Act passed by the 1937 General Assembly, and there are many more who will not be able to meet the re quirements for various reasons. The State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, anxious to make clear provisions of the Old Age Assistance plan, which be comes effective on July 1 of this year, has issued a statement tending to clarify the act. One of the first requirements is that applicants for aid under the plan shall be citizens of the United States, either native- born or naturalized. Another essential is that applicants shall DO YOU KNOW YOUR ffATf? “wrii BOY), I LlKr I H I? ^ IN 1732 lARHFfif WERE AllOW^P TO PAY THEIR TAXfV WITH RICE ANP FEATHER? mm knowt^at Trif FIR^T AUTOMOBILE iAW IN N.(.\VAVPA«5P IH1074?

Moody i^n 1886, has provided instruction and training without cost for tuition to earnest minded young men and women who desire either to be better informed workers in home churches, or to devote their lives to full time Christian service in some specialized field. Ministers, evangel ists, missionaries on home and for eign fields, Christian education dir ectors, gospel song directors for churches and Sunday Schools, and many other types of workers, have received their training at this school. More than 2,000 students were en rolled in the day and evening schools during the past year. Moody-train ed missionaries numbering above 1,- 400 are now laboring under differ ent church boards in some 70 coun tries. The Bible ranks first in all Insti tute courses and around it are gath ered such subjects as Sunday School Administration, Gospel Music, Public Speaking. Home Economics, Manual Training, and also Homiletics, Apol ogetics, Greek. Hebrew, and medi cal subjects for missionary work. There are three terms a year—Fall, Winter and Summer.

Many persons reaching the age of 65 have not been able, frequently through no fault of their own, to save sufficient money to care for themselves in the declining years of their lives; others, because of age or disabilities, are unable to earn a comfortable livehhood, w'hile still others are not so situated that they can care for them selves. Applicants for assistance un der the Act are not supposed to be inmates of any public insti tution at the time the applica tions are filed. However, they may apply for aid which, if al lowed, will not begin until they have ceased to be inmates of public institutions. In order to prevent fraudul ent applications for assistance under the Old Age plan, the law specifically prohibits the as- signmemt or transfer of proper ty during the two years prior to the filing of applications. Atiother requirement which will be rigidly adhered to is that all applicants Wiust have been residents of North Caro lina for at least five of the nine years preceding the filing of the applications, and for one year immedi'aitely preceding the fil ing. Amounts to be paid applicants will be determined upon indiv idual conditions, and will not '5x- ceed $30 per month, or $360 a year. Of this amount, the coun ties will pay practically one- fourth, and, the state one- fourth. MOST ACCIDENTS IN RURAL SECTIONS A majority of the nation’s 36,575 fatalities in 1936 occur red in rural sections, the U. S. Department of Commerce tells us. The outstanding cause of these deaths was high speed. Coupled with this was inade quate lighting. Road surface conditions played only a mmor part. In some sections liquor was a factor, but it is only fair to state that there is no evi dence of drui'.ken driving being materially on the increase. What is happening is that cars are being driven at night in rural sections too fast for lighting conditions. The aver age car today is capable of mak ing a speed of from 70 to 100 miles an (hour, and speeds of from 60 to 80 miles an hour are not uncommon in rural night driving. These speeds are un safe and are the causes of most rural night fatalities. Experi ments by experts in many states have demonstrated def initely thiait night driving under the very best conditions at more than 50 miles an hour is unsafe. When going faster than tihis, drivers, equipped with the very best lights and brakes, cannot see objects on the straightaway in time to aitop before striking the object. The stopping dis- in tuberculosis, and then waged such successful warfare against the dread disease. The testimonial dinner was a public announcement and a fine tribute to a man’s great usefulness. The newspapers or the state under stood the appreciation and applause that came from the doctor's fellow- practicioners and the professional world and have offered many a sin cere bouquet in their editorials em phasizing the honor that is <'ue. The marks of esteem from the press were not given lightly but came as an ear nest expression of the people of North Carolina for the man who has salvaged so much of humanity and made such a strenuous effort to keep the normal human being well. Dr. McBrayer’s interests were not confined to tuberculosis. He reduced typhoid fever in one of the state’s large cities. He organized the first medical milk commission in the south. As a writer and lecturer his contributions found their way into many medical journals. His address before the Medical Society some years ago on “The Doctor” made such an impression that it was quot ed and printed in various publications over the United States. He was founder and editor of the Asheville Health Bulletin and the author of many pamphlets that have to do with the subject of greatest interest to him, tuberculosis and its prevention. C. J. Simons doesn’t have to be a Rotarian or a banker or a horse racing enthusiast or a lot of things to get in on all the conventions and Me: events that happen in the Sand hills. BecaUiSe he perfected a loud speaking device of his own "Jim” is in great demand. He made it possi ble for the Rotarians to hear Gover nor Hoey, Carl Goerch and Joseph P. Kennedy at their convention in the Carolina at Pinehurst this week Incidentally, Charlie Picquet re opened his Pinehurst theatre Monday afternoon for a special matinee for the Rotary crowd, and more than 400 enjoyed a good show. The local Kiwanis Club sponsored the affair, but it was really Charlie’s party. He didn’t charge anyone a nickel. Our local bank declared a holiday on May 10th, North Carolina’s Me morial Day. The northern visitor occasionally asks why we celebrats 20 days ahead of the legal Memorial Day of May 30. “If you know why North Carolina has its Memorial Day on the 10th of May you are an exception,” so writes Anne Williams in an article in the Charlotte Observer. The offhand answer you frequently get to your question is that the South’s earlier season for flowers has much to do with the day, but that isn’t the rea son. Throughout the South various dates were set aside for decorating the graves of the Confederate dead, some coming as early as April 26. tance at 50 miles an hour is 243 feet and at 60 miles an hour, not an unusual speed in rural night driving, the stopping dis tance is 343 feet. Of course, the danger of driving at these high rates of speed where there are curves or hills in the road is greartsly increased. ed were taken into Raleigh where emergency hospitals were set up. The dead, according to Miss Will- | iams. were buried on the eastern side of the town and w’hen the Fed eral forces took command of the city the bodies were ordered to be H moved to another plot. After the transfer had taken place and while ' |j Raleigh was still under martial law, | p it decided to observe the anniversary jj of the death of Stonewall Jackson, S who died on May 10th, as a memorial || day for the Southern soldiers. g So when we close our bnnk out of S reverence to the Confederate dead we also pay honor to the famous Confederate general. Stonewall Jack- t son, the idol of his troops, and the South. Away back in 1907 Arthur New- comV was a business man of South ern Pines, and a village resident. He From the State Press HONORING DR. McBRAYER The people of the state who are in any wise personally or professional ly acquainted with Dr, L. B. Mc- Brayer will join in and applaud the spirit of his fellow’-practitioners in i tendering him a testimonial dinner in aprecation of his long and faithful services as secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Medical Society. Mr. McBrayer has served his pio- fession and the public in an effectual and memorable manner, having held numerous commissions of responsi-1 bility in both relations and always coming through with such duties in ' honorable and efficient fashion. i It w'as Dr. McBrayer who headed : j| up the sentiment in North Carolina j in the fight against tuberculosis I which has so successfully been car-1 ried forward in this State for two de-1 cades. And it is Dr. McBrayer who yet | stands shoulder to shoulder with his i | distinguished son-in-law, Dr. Paul P. I McCain, superintendent of the State I Sanatorium, and who is the comman- I der-in-chief of all the forces in North Carolina fighting to eradicate the \ white plague j His fellow-doctors have given this, \’eteran physician and public servant 1 the honor which was his due and it i | will be generally hoped throughout! i the State that the ill-health which! leads Dr. McBrayer to resign his ma-; i jor activities will be only of a tran sient nature. —Charlotte Observer.
