Gordon Slaughter Makes 4-H Projects Pay Their Own Way Gordon Slaughter gets plenty of help from hit parents, both of whom are interested in his poultry project. Here Mrs. Otis Slaughter holds one of Gordon's pullets while be displays a handful of chicks. By BOB SEYMOUR A 4-H'er who is planning to make his project pay off is Gordon Slaughter, IS, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Slaughter of Bogue Sound Community. Gordon's principal 4-H project this year is poultry. He has SO pullets that have just begun laying and 207 chicks about a week old. The pullets, barely four months old, already have the appearance of mature hens and Gordon finds several eggs around the chicken yard every day. Since pullets generally begin laying at six months, Gordon was quite surprised and concerned when he found his first eggs. He has been feeding the pullets oats in an effort to curb their produc tion for another month or so. Gordon says that his choice of breeds is responsible for the early maturity of his pullets. He is rais ing sex links, a cross between New Hampshire Reds and Barred Rocks. These chicks, originally bred for broiler production, are fast-growing and mature early. While this is Gordon's first year with a poultry project, he is an old hand at 4-H work. He has had a home beautification project for each of the four years that he has been in the Newport 4-H Club. Last year he was county champion in that department. Among hla home beautification projects were helping seed the lawn and keeping the grass mowed, digging a drainage ditch around the house, planting orna mental trees in the yard, planting flowers, helping lay a sidewalk, painting outside tables, and gen eral maintenance of the house. It took more than doing these things, Gordon points out. "I had to keep accurate rccorda of all the work I did and then I filled out my project book. The project book is the basis for our grades. A 4-H'er can do the best job in the world and get no recognition unless he keeps a record and makes a report of it," Gordon con tinued. Another of Gordon's projects is electricity. He has attended three electrical workshops since he has been a 4-H member. Gordon is a great one for putting his projects into practical use. As part of his electric project, Gordon has made brooder lights for his chicks. By keepiag the chicks in a tight building with a good floor, Gordon is able to use his brooder light in stead of an expensive electric or oil brooder. Th?

With the arriving of so many people from Carteret County, It's beginning to (eel a lit tle less like 6,000 miles are sepa rating us from home. To those who have been here far some time it's wonderful to be able to greet those who are arriving: USCG Chief and Mrs. Kenneth Willis and family arrived in Hotto lulu by plane Sept. a and are va cationing at the Reef Hotel at Wal kiki before taking residency near Pearl Harbor.

He Is William Curtis Cannon, USN. Cannon and his wife are making their home at 1*0* Kahakai Drive, Apt. tA, Honolulu. Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie also re ceived a visit frets Robert and Norma Preston, formerly of Ocra eoke. Guthrie and Preston are both aboard the CGC Plane tree.

A special in fra-red light bulb is fitted through the hole and screwed into a socket. The bucket reflects the warm rays and keeps them moving down to ward the chicks. Four-H advisor Harry Venters says it is money-saving ideas like Gordon's that make 4-H work pay off financially. "The experience a boy gets just in belonging to 4-H is also worth a great deal to him socially," adds Mr. Venters. "Just as important, though, is the 4-H'ers opportunity to learn how to make a good living on the farm. A great many 4-H'ers take the training they receive in 4-H and apply it to industrial or other occupations. It is no less valuable to them because they did not stay on the farm," he concluded. Gordon hopes to win a 4-H scho larship and study electronics in college. He says that his interest in this field grew from his studies at the 4-H electric workshops. Yes, 4-H work is paying off well for Gordon. He is learning to man age his own money wisely, invMt carefully and is finding the Joys and responsibilities of owning and caring for animals wholly depen dent upon him. Likeness of Mule Cut In Unusual Keystone Bellaire, Ohio (AP)? The House That Jack Built is no more. Built in 1871 by Jacob Heather ington, the mansion got its name from the likeness of a mule named Jack carved on its keystone. It was his tribute to a faithful mule which helped him earn his fortune in coal mining and, later, to build the mansion. The unusual keystone is going to be used in a motel located on the site.

THOMAS Manager, New Bern Social Security District Office Several weeks ago I outlined the most important changes in the old age, survivors, and disability in surance program brought about by the 1958 amendments to the social security law. Today, I shall dis cuss in more detail changes in the law as they affect the dependents of retired, disabled, or deceased in sured working people. I feel that the most important changes in this field are those re lating to the families of workers who have become too disabled for further substantial gainful work, and to dependent parents of work ers who have died. The first of these important amendments concerns families of insured workers who are no longer able to do substantial gainful work. While monthly benefit payments to qualified disabled workers have been made beginning with July 1857, until now, no payments were possible to their families. Pay ments to them could not be made until the disabled breadwinner reached age 65 or died before that time. We of the social secarlty office have had occasion to observe many cases of hardship resulting from this provision in the old law. The disability benefit payments to the disabled worker offset in part his loss of earnings from work, but they did not provide adequate pro tection for his dependent family. The medical expenses incurred through disability are a major fi nancial problem for most of these familiea. Furthermore, the children are more dependent than are the chil dren of retired workers. It ii usu ally necessary that the mother re main at home and not attempt to supplement the family income. In many cases the care required by the disabled person makes it im possible for his wife to work out side the home. Insaraace protection in the form of monthly benefits is now provided the disabled person's children un der IS and any other child under a disability beginning before be be came It. Benefits are also payable to the disabled person's wife if she has in her care a child eligible for benefits. An estimated 110,000 dependents of totally disabled workers now on the beneficiary rolls can qualify for payments under thia provision in the amended law. Before the enactment of the 1958 amendments, an aged parent, bow ever dependent, could never get benefit payments based on the earnings of a son or daughter if there was a surviving wife, de pendent widower, or child who was entitled or who could later become entitled to payments. This restriction applied even in cases where those survivors never actually became beneficiaries. I recall, in particular, a case where an insured worker died leav ing a widow who was no longer liv ing with him at the time of his death. His other survivor was an aged mother who was keeping house for him and dependent on him for her means of livelihood. His death left her destitute. A monthly social security check as a surviving, dependent parent would have prevented this situa tion. She could not qualify as a beneficiary, however, because the estranged wile was alsa a survivor. Under the law, as amended, this parent would also be eligible for survivors' benefit payments. An estimated 90,000 aged, dependent parents can now apply for sur vivors' benefits under this new pro vision in the law. Since an application must be filed before benefits can be paid, per sons receiving disability insurance benefits, and who have eligible de pendents, should contact their dis trict office. Parents of deceased workers who were financially dependent on the deceased son or daughter should also contact the social security of fice. The district office serving this area is located at 305 Pollock Street, New Bern, N. C. In my next article I shall discuss other changes in the law which af fect dependents of retired or in sured workers. STRAIOHT BOURBON kWHISKIV ? VRAM OLD $/ 25 43 QUAKT MMCS ?MUH ? CO, m.

These new developments just in the past six years represent a total investment of almost $&5 billion and have created more than 119,000 jobs that didn't exist before^ All in the South can be proud of this fine record. Yet, thia is no time to ait back and "rest on our oars." Now more than ever? in theee times of leeaened business activity everywhere? it behooves all who live and work in the Southland to make an extra effort to keep new, job-creating industries heading South and make sure that they stay happy in their "new home."
