The executive director estlmat ec "there are approximately 130,000 handicapped children and adults in North Carolina, Soma splendid ser vices are being provided by the state and federal supported agencies and other organizations.1 The Easter Seal society is Interested in the de velopment of a rehabilitation pro gram with the possibility of devel oping this service in conjunction with one of the medical centers in North Carolina." ' !;: In addition, Pikutis will recom mend to the state board of diree tors of the Easter Seal Society the establishment of a state1. 'wide mo bile therapy unit which will meet needs of hPndicaoped, persons In ru ral areas. Therapy would be taken to the handicapped, rather than his going to far-removed centers for treatment. . The annual report also states that emphasis will be placed upon r cruitment and training of much needed rehabilitation personnel in such fielis as physical therapy, oc cupational therapy, speech therapy and social services as well as spec ial education. Working closely with health and welfare agencies, local county Eas ter Seal Societies determine actual needs of the individual cases before any expenditures are made. Of the .$55,899 expended last year, $14,023 went to purchase aids and applian ces such as wheel chairs, artificial limbs and braces; $17,269 for physi7 cal, occupational and speech thera py, hospitalization, X-rays, medica tion and surgery; $6,589 for home bound instruction, and special class es, tuition, and workshops for pro fessional personnel; $4,713 far transportation of handicapped per sons to hospitals, clinics and schools; $3,444 for camperships to the Easter Seal Crippled Children's Camp and at Camp Sky Ranch, $3,758 for schol arships to teachers and grants to hospitals and other centers provid ing care and treatment programs for crippled children. An important phase of the service of the state office is parent educa tion. Reprints, leaflets, pamphlets books and other publications are made available to Parent Study Groups, doctors volunteers, and oth- ier specialists working with handi capped persons. More than 5.000 reprints were channeled to -those persons last year. The State Society also is contin uing its assistance ani cooperation to eight children's centers which it helped establish. One is located at Asheville where the Pre-School for Handicapped Children is lo cated and sponsored by the Bun combe County Easter Seal Society and Asheville Junior League. The New Hanover Easter Seal Society and other organizations operate the Wilmington Day School, and the McDowell County Unit and civi; clubs sponsor an education program" at Marion. The Gaston Society op erates a nursery school at Gastonia. The Fayetteville center, supported by funds from the local Easter Seal Society, provides an educational proVam for children affected by cerebral palsy and other handicaps.

Not a part of the state so ciety's assets but In the custody of its director, the fund was named for an Xdenton resident 'who was se verely burned. It was established by a 1951 legislative act iron mnex pendedv contributions received as result of a radio appeal made by the 195S Easter Seal Chairman,' W.

The sta. tutory purpose of the fund is for "the Immediate needs of any child, regardless of race, who needs emer. gency treatment over and beyond that available by the ordinary wel fare provisions of the law and the ability of the parents of the family of such child to provide. "Expendi tures are limited to such care and medication ss special nursing, blood plasma, and special medication for children severely burned or injured in an accident.

Your Motor Manners RALEIGH Your motor manners can save a life. That statement was made this week bv Major W. B. Lentz of thf Stnte H'ghway Patrol to spark thr Motor Vehicles Department's yen' around program for traffic cour tesy. "A traffic accident," Major Lentz said, "is pretty generally a result of rrgative actinn of not heeding the law, of not driving defensively, of not adhering to simple good man ners. There is no way of estimating how many lives might be saved ev ery year by the exercise of a little consideration, tolerance and pa tience, but the number probably would be stapgering." Major Lentz said that many of the state's annual traffic accidents involving pedestrians are perfect examples of how lack of motor man. n ron he deadlv. "In 1953 the last year for which we have complete figures 224 pe destrians were killed in traffic in North Carolina. .About half of these unfortunate people were using the street or highway unsafely. They were, in other words, be'ng discour teous Or disregarding others' rights :n the use of the roadway. Add to this fipure the number of discourt eous drivers also on tie highway at the same time and the" is noth ing surprising in thi? death toll." The nitrnl excou:''( cited Na tional Ssfetv Ciu-1-:!

The rpe statist1"': hold true for the Tar Heel .Stite. A-.d in either case, he stid, bad motor manners are in vo've1. "Motor courtesy is easily acquir ed," Major Lentz said, "but it can be put into practice only with the exercise of constant attention. The courteous driver is the one who says, 'I'm going to save a life to day, by watching my manners be hind the wheel.' " A dollar may not go as far as It used to, but it's still much easier to get one to replace it.

These experts point out that many strikes are caused by Jurisdic tional dispute between unions. The merger will largely do away with m-yrh disputes, since there will be far less competition for collective bargaining rights. However, more important, the experts say that, although the merger will mean larger strike funds, union leaders are likely to acile dwn their pay-raise demands when they no longer have to "mako a record" to keep their workers from thinking they could do better with some other union, or to attract workers who are still un organized. Thus management will be better able to meet union de mands or compromise on them Without a strike. Incidentally, the experts say Walter Reuther Is far from through as a powerful labor force despite the fact that George Meany wi(l be the first AFL-CIO president They point out that Reuther is still president of the powerful auto workers' union, which, merger or not, will be the pacemaker for the pay demands of organized labor. . HOUSING The government wants to find out Just how sound is the continuing boom in the housing industry. Federal men are mak ing survey to check vacant houses and apartments against home building activity. A Commerce department spokesman says there is nothing alarming about the high rate of home construction since there are unfilled housing requirement In virtually every state. However, what is lack ing Is up to date Information on which the expansion can be accur ately measured. The test survey of this kind was In 1950. LAME DUCK PERILS The peril of a "lame duck" were best exemplified recently in Washington by former Rep. Harold C. Hagen (R), Minnesota, who was defeated Mentioned for re-election last fall. Hagen was mentioned promt- . nently as a good bet for a high-paying Job with the Government Printing office. He was, that U, until it Unlll came to the attention of Postmaster General Arthur Bummerfield. It was recalled suddenly that Hagen led an outspoken fight against an increase In postal rates advocated by Summerfield. Hagen no longer la in the running for the Job. Granular Aldrin Properly Applied Will Control Both Roolworm, Thrip Granular aldrin applied at rec ommended rates for rootworm is also effective in controlling thrips, says J. R. Dogger, research entomo logist at State College. And the latter point is very im portant when you consider that in 1954, thrips control was worth as much as $25 per acre in some cases. When the aldrin is applied just as the plant breaks through the ground, at the rate of two pounds per acre it is possible to control thrips without any additional in vestment. When treating for thrips exclusively, only one pound of al North Carolina Becoming Important In Production Of Strategic Material By BILL WHITLEY DEFENSE. North Carolina is be coming more and more imoortant in the production of the Nation's strategic defense minerals. For several years, the state has been a leading producer Of tung sten. Although it has also been the Na tion's top producer of mica, new efforts are being made to open up new mica mines and greatly ex pand existing ones. Mica, a scarce item in this country, is used ex fensively as Insulation in electri cal and electronic devices. EXPLORING. Through the De fense Materials Exploration Admin istration mica exploration projects In North Carolina costing almost $60,000 were started in the last three months of 1954. Under the special exploration ad ministration, the. federal govern ment makes grants to prospective miners and existing mining firms to search for new deposist of strate gic materials. Of a total of 34 projects started in the last quorter of 1954 throughout the entire United States covering all types of defense minerals, 11 mica projects were launched in North Carolina alone. Consequently, the Department of Interior, which ad ministers the mineral exploration program, Is especially interested in developing the state's mica resourc es. Only seven of the last 34 projects, interestingly enough, were guided toward new searches for uranium, the essential material in the produc, tion of atomic weapons. All of the uranium projects are in the Far West. HARDSHIP. A mother wrote a senator a letter, asking that her dear son be given a hardship discharge. He Just wasn't suited to Army ser vice, she said. He didn't like it, was miserable and was needed back home. The' senator referred the re quest to the Army. ' The Army wrote back, pronto, to say it would be a pleasure to look into the case but there was just FOR QUICK EFFICIENT TAXI SERVICE CALL .

Democrat would like to tee a second Republican group come into the, picture. With a split In OOP ranks, their chance of winning back the Whit Bouse would be enhanced. However, even the moat optimistic Democrat are not count lng on such a possibility.

That is the word drin is required per acre. Southern corn rootworm is one of the major pest of North Carolina peanut growers. This soil insect af fects both yield and quality. Research conducted during the past two years at the North Carolina Experiment Station in Edgecombe County near Rocky Mount showed that thrips control resulted in in creases of up to 100 pounds per acre in 1953 and from 80 to 170 pounds per acre in 1954. The experiments were conducted on fields with a yield potential of about 20 bags of peanuts per acre. one hitch. The GI had just started a six months term in the brig, and he'd have to serve his time before worrying about hardships. BLOSSOMS. There's a good chance the cherry blossoms will be out a bit early in Washington this year. Unusually warm weather dur ing the past two weeks stands a good chance of bringing out the blossoms well before Easter, which falls on April 10 this year. BANQUET. The 19th Annual Con gressional Banquet of the North, Carolina Democratic Club of Wash ington will be held at the Mayflow er Hotel in Washington Saturday, March 19. Christine Gallagher in Representative Harold Cooley's of fice is handling the arrangements. The banquet is an annual affair of the Club, staged in honor of the Tar Heel members of Congress. Social Security Information QUESTION: May an individual draw his monthly social security payments and continue to work? . ANSWER: When an individual has reached the age of 72, and has qualified for social security benefits, he may receive his payments regard lees of the amount of his earnings Any beneficiary under the age of 72 is entitled to his social security checks for all months in the year provided his wages as an employee or his net earnings from self - em ployment, or a combinuation of the two, do not exceed $1200 in the year. If his earnings exceed $1200 in a year, he loses one month's check foi each $80 that Is in excess of $1200. Under this provision, a beneficiary under age 72 who has net earnings from $1200.01 to $1280 would lose one month's check; from $1280.01 to $1360, two months' checks; and so on until his earnings reach $2080.01, or more, when he woul dlose checks for all 12 months tn the year.
