Need For Stronger Organization Cited Bv Bureau Leaders (Continued from page one) that the revenue raisers will turn to the relief program and agriculture for the money." Arnold said "While I am in favor of defense. I don't think it right for them to turn to the hungry on relief and the farm ers on the farm to finance the pro gram." Arnold continued He inti mated that unless North Carolina came to the front with a substantial membership gain that much of the program would be lost. "Next week a meeting is being held in Washington in the interest of the lowly peanut. Gentlemen, there are only a few congressmen in the peanut.territory, but the Am erican Farm Bureau with its fol lowers in Illinois, California. Iowa and other thousands in the 40 Farm Bureau states went to bat for the peanut farmer and helped you get a peanut program for .the past three years. It is embarrassing to go to Washington and appeal to fh< Farm Bureau Federation for help when "We have hardly more'than a hand ful of members who stand ready to join with other members in up holding the nght> ut American agri culture.' the secretary concluded. The Southeastern director of tin American Federation. K G Arnold, stirred his listeners with a "hot" speech that was patterned along strong unionism lines "The farmer has had to pay a 60 per cent parity to the manufacturer for clothes, ma chinery and nearly every other typ? of article-as"a result of th? tariff.' Director Arnold said, and it is only fair for the farmer to get parity payments for the crops he produces " The dm? for farm bureau mem bers continues m this county as a result of the meeting last night the membership teams pledged their continued support for the campaign. Next Thursday night, the member ship teams will file a report on their Thousands To Get Insurance Checks Shortly before Christmas, 2.331 men and women in North Carolina are going to be notified that they may be- entitled to monthly old-age insurance checks for the rest of their lives, R S. Marshall, manager of the Social Security board field office at Rocky Mount, announced today. Approximately 10 per cent of this number live in the 16 counties ser viced by the Rocky Mount office, he said. Mr. Marshall explained that this notice will be sent to those to whom lump-sum benefits have been paid since the Federal old-age insurance system was established January 1, 1937. The amended act. he said, moves the date for monthly benefits up two years to 1940 and. makes it possible for a wage earner to quali fy after he is 65 years old. even if he has already received a single cash settlement. Beginning January 1, 1940, quali fied annuitants will receive month lv benefits instead of the lump-sum payment provided under the present law. "This means," said Mr Marshall, "that the age barrier to obtaining) Federal "retirement' insurance" ftfcs i been removed Even the man who was already 65 when the old-age in surance system was sei up and who therefore has never been under the Federal program may now qualify for monthly benefits. To qualify^foi retirement insurance in 1940. it will be necessary for him to show that he has worked in six calendar quar ters and received during each three month period, at least $50 in wages and has retired." Mr Marshall explained that if a mail lias already received a lump1 sum it will be deducted f rom the j monthly payments which will be, paid him.

C . November 10, 1939. J C. Norris, Williamston, N. C. Dear Sir I wish to tliank you for selling me a Duo-Therm Hot Wa ter Heater. It is a great comfort, we have hot water at all times for my family and the cost is reasonable. I may say that it is one of the most valuable home conveniences we have. Before purchasing this Duo-Therm, we heated water with a laundry heater. This required constant attention to keep the fire going, and of course there was coal to buy and ashes to clean out. Also, in summertime this heater gener ated enough outside heat to make the kitchen uncomfort able. When we did not have a fire in the laundry heater, the water was heated on our electric range, which of course meant an extra power charge. During the first month of operation my Duo-Therm Hot Water Heater used about $1.10 to $1.25 worth of fuel oil?and this was hot water 24 hours a day for the entire family, for dishwashing and for handling the entire family laundry ev ery Monday! I expect I save that much and more on my coal bill and got away from the inconvenience and dirt of keep ing a coal fire going. There was another saving also. In the first month my electric power bill dropped about $1.50, and undoubtedly a portion of this saving was brought about by the fact that we no longer have to use the electric range to heat water at odd times when the laundry heater was out. It can't be beat as a home convenience. Yours very truly, CITIZEN OF WILLIAMSTON Me don't ask you to take our word for it: just ask our satisfied customers. This family is getting mi re hot water than ever before, has cut out the coal hill and the trouble of rleaenup after a coal fire and has reduced the electric power bill.
