Writer Says
MANY PEOPLE AIDED
»
Yadkin county individuals and
communities have benefitted to
the extent of approximately $61,-
728.00 through operation of the
ten divisions of the Social Becuri
? ty Act, it is estimated by M. R.
' Dunnagan, informational service
! representative of the Stale Un
employment Compensation Com
, mission, and native of Yadkin
county.
In the average North Carolina
county, as to the balance in In
dustry and agriculture, the larg
!est item, and usually from one
third to one-half of the total, is
{Unemployment Compensation. In
| Yadkin county, predominantly
agricultural, with few large in
' dustries, this form of jobless ben
' eflts amounts to a small part of
•the total payments going to the
: county. In the 18 months of un
employment benefits, $4,160.91,
included in 613 checks, has been
distributed in Yadkin, Mr. Dun
nagan said the records in the
Central UCC office in Raleigh
show.
Through cooperation of Mr.
Nathan L. Yelton, State director
"Build-Up" for Women
Many women find they are able to
break the vicious circle of under
nourishment, weakness and the
pain of functional dysmenorrhea
due to malnutrition. Their help
has come from CARDUI'S ability
to stimulate appetite and diges
tion; thus build physical resistance.
Many also report CARDUI taken
just before and during "the time"
helps ease pain and discomfort.

1 Barrett Lankforril
of Public Assistance, and Dr.
Roma a Cheek, executive secre
tary of the State Commission for
the Blind, and with figures in the
UCC office and from Washing
ton, Mr. Dunnagan said he was
able to get a fairly accurate pic
ture of the amount of payments
that have come to Yadkin
through the Social Security pro
gram.
Old Age Assistance, the help
for needy persons who have
reached 65 years of age, amount
ed to $21,818.00 in the two years
since payments started, ending
June 30. In July an additional
$1,410.00 was distributed to 200
aged needy persons, an average
of $7.05 each, as compared with
the State average in July of $9.59
each.
Aid to Dependent Children,
help in the support of children
deprived of their natural bread
winners, reached $11,277.00 in the
same two months. In July,
$700.00 additional was distributed
toward the support of 138 such
children. The July average was
$5.07 each, as compared with the
State average of $5.91 each.
Aid to the Blind amounted to
$1,622.00 in the same two-year
period, while an additional $75.00
in July went to six needy blind
persons in Yadkin, an average of
$12.50 each. The State average
in July was $14.67 each.
The fund for Old Age Assist
ance and Aid to the Blind is fur
nished, one-half by the Federal
government and one-fourth each
by State and county, while the
Aid to Dependent Children Fund
is furnished one-third each by
Federal, state and county gov
ernments.
Old Age Benefits, or Insurance,
only small lump sum payments
so far, is not available by coun
ties, but a proration, based on
the State amount, indicates that
probably 32 individuals and fam
ilies have received about $700.00
in these payments in two and
one-half years. These sums have
gone to individuals who have
worked for covered employment
after January 1, 1937, and have
since reached the age of 65 years,
or to families of such workers
who have died since that date.
The value of this program will be
more apparent when the pay
ments go on a monthly basis,
starting with January, 1940, as
provided by a recent amendment
by Congress, Mr. Dunnagan said.
With this small estihiate, and
actual figures in the other four
divisions mentioned, it is appar
ent that close to $39,578.00 has
been distributed in Yadkin in
these five major divisions. In
the other five divisions, classed
as services, a prorated estimate
indicates that about $22,150.00
has been used in Yadkin county
jin the more than three years of
'operation of these divisions, di
vided about as follows: Maternal
and Child Health services, $4,-
000.00: Services for Crippled
Children, $3,300.00; Child Wel
fare services, $2,650.00; Vocation
al Reliibilitation, $1,700.00; and
Public Health work, $10,500.00.
Several factors enter into this
proration for Yadkin, Mr. Dun
nagan explained. Yadkin coun
ty had a population of 18,010, or
0.568 per cent, of the population
of the entire State, 1930 census.
The amount devoted to these
purposes from the Federal Gov
ernment in the State is known,
ana the Stale matches practical
ly all of it on a dollar for dollar
basis. Also, this part of the pro
gram has been in operation for
more than three years. Entering
also into this estimate is the as
sumption that the population, on
the percentage basis, and condi
tions in Yadkin county are nor
mal and average for the State.
Central UCC office records
show that only 11 resident
employers are subject to the
State Unemployment Compensa
tion Law, and that only 140
workers are protected by this
law. Employers in the county in
the two years of 1937 and 1938
and the first three months of
1939, paid into the State Unem
ployment Fund $5,290.72 in taxes
based on their payrolls. It is
seen that workers out of jobs
drew in 18 months almost as
much, $4,160.91, as the employers
paid in on them in 2 1-4 years.
Also, records show that 213 ini
tial claims for compensation,
probably as many as five for each
claimant, and 1,641 continued
claims—the claims which follow
each week the initial claims—
were filed by Yadkin residents in
the 18 months ending June 30.
Employment Service
reports indicate that 952 regis
trations for work and 254 place
ments in jobs were recorded for
Yadkin workers in the 12 months
ending June 30.
Yadkin county people are serv
ed by the Winston-Salem Em
ployment office through weekly
scheduled trips to certain points
in the county, and to others as
occasion arises. Stokes is served
in like manner from the Win
ston-Salem office.

James Ball Makes Personal
Appearance at Charlotte

By TIM PRIDGEN
Charlotte New Staff Writer
James Ball, THE James Ball,
who, now that tobacco auc
tioneers are about to take the
shine off of Hollywood's glamour
boys In national publicity, is a
North Carolinian and is having
the time of his jovial life at
Grant's, on N. Tryon Street, to
day and tomorrow enlightening
crowds of fellow Tar Heels on the
mystery of what the auctioneer
says when he chants.
The personal appearance idea
was a new one. and the novelty
was as enchanting to Mr. Ball as
tc the people who crowded the
aisles to hear him. After all, one
doesn't get a chance often to get
a close up of the Nation's undis
puted champion of the tobacco
warehouses. To leam that he was
practically home-folks, after hav
ing seen his picture on the backs
of all the National magazines,
was that much extra.

Ball smiled. "It has to be under
stood, you know. It is through
the chant that millions and mil
lions of pounds of tobacco are
sold, and millions of dollars, in
money change hands. It couldn't
be just plain gibberish. So I will
explain to you what is said:
" 'Sixteen sixteen pringa
ling-a-dishpan-sharng - a-slish
a-hame string—' anyway, some
thing like that."
Then, amiably enough, he goes
back and takes the string of un
intelligible jargon apart and, 10,
there it is. It meant something
after all.
He explains how the tobacco
buyers, representing the five big
American manufacturing com
panies, the foreign buyers, and
the various independent buyers,
lmve their secret means of mak
ing known their bids to the auc
tioneers, and gives a great deal of
other information on subjects
which mystify the visitor in the
tobacco warehouses.
The auctioneer has several
warehouses of his own, and cries
sales in the biggest centers only.
By reason of his past record he
i~, in great demand. His record
of having sold 19,000,000 pounds
of tobacco in one season has nev
er been equalled, and no one is
even close to his record of hav
ing sold 249,000,000 pounds in 25
years.
It takes five years to make an
auctioneer, he said. He, himself,
I studied under his father, Colonel
J. S. Ball, who Is now 85 years
old, lives In Mount Airy, sold to
bacco for 40 years and would be
at it yet, except for his 85 years.
Mr. Ball goes to Mount Airy,
where he will cry sales when the
Upper District opens. Later he is
under contract for broadcasting.
