Suddenly all this was 'changed.
Paul was brought home from

- .Paul is 32, married, and has
.hree children. Until five years
i go, he was strong and healthy
never sick a day in his life. The
Johnsons were paying on a new
jranch-type house in the suburbs
and Paul was earning high wag
es as a foreman in a factory mak
ing airplane parts. During his
rpare time he made improve
ments on the house, built a ga
lapsfjd, at the factory. He hasn't
been, able to . work since. . To
meet expenses the Johnsons had
to sell jiheir . house and automo
bile. They moved. Into a small up
stairs apartment in a house own

No one has ever said anything
to Paul about the "disability
freeze" provision in the social se
curity law. Either his friends
know nothing about it, or they
are unwilling to seem to pry into
his financial affairs. Paul should
be told that he' should file an
application for a social security
disability freeze no later than
June 30, 1958. . If the disability
freeze is allowed, his rights will
be protected as to disability bene-
ms at age 50, old-age benefits,
and benefits for his family in case
of his death. . '"' ,
In Paul's case, making appli
cation for a disability freeze no

He doesn't think of himSelf as dis

collapses after slight exertion
does not discourage him. A few

beginning at age 50; it may also
mean that in case of his death,
his wife and children would re
ceive as much as $200 a month
If he does not put his applica
tion in by June 30, 1958, he will
receive no disability benefits at
age 50 and, since he had not
worked 10 years under social se
curity before his disability, he
will draw no old-age benefits. In
case of his death, the payment
of his survivors would be either
reduced or lost entirely.
What should Paul do? He
should telephone or write the so
cial security office near him.
That office is listed in the tele
phone book under U. S. Govern
ment, Dept. of Health, Education
and Welfare. He can also get the
address from his post office.
Protection against disability
was written into the social securi
ty law as recently as 1954.. .The
deadline Of June 30, 1958 is im
portant to those1 who have been
disabled more than one year.
Piling application by that date
will mean the worker's account
may be frozen as of the time he
became disabled, even if that was
as much, as 16 years ago. If a
disabled person believes he can
meet the earnings requirement
five years' work under social se
curity in the ten year period be
fore he became disabled, and a
year and a half in the last three
years of that time he should file
his. application without further
delay. ()!;.
Because disabled persons have
often lost ability to protect their
own, : interests, 1 it is : particularly
important' that relatives iand
friends help them. Full informa
tion as well as free booklets are
available for 'the asking at1 any
social 'security" office.
Use Right Word
There is a great difference be
tween the right word and the
word that is almost right. V For
instance, you can call a woman
a kitten, but not a cat; a mouse,
but not a rat,. a chicken, but not
a hen; a duck,- not a goose; a
vision, but not a sight.

- Points of View
I am supporting the view that
the acceleration of projects for
which funds have already been au.
thorized and appropriated is the
sensible approach to . immediate
positive action. Another view,
supported by some Administra
tion spokesmen, exalts a tax ut
and less public works as the most
desirable remedy. A good case
can be made for some tax relief.
I am concerned about what will
happen to ' the unemployed. A
tax cut for a person who has no
job is purely an academic ques
tion. ' ' .

As a nation this is where we

jobless being 6.7 per cent of the
total labor force of our country,
"compared with 5.8 per cent for
January of this year. February
figures project the number of un
employed , beyond the highest
peak of jobless in the 1954 reces
sion and about the same as the
economic dip in 1949 on a per
centage basis. But the total num
ber of jobless is reported to be
at the highest mark in 16 years.
Although we must take into con
sideration that some blame can
be put on the unusually bad
weather during February, it is
ary. Looking at the brighter side
of the picture, there are now 61,
988,000 people employed, and I
think that thoughtful and positive
action on the part of our country
can halt the down-turn. It is in
this belief, that I voted for the ac
celeration of authorized civil and
military projects rather than pur
suing a poligy of waiting to see
what Will happen. In my judg
ment it is far better to take pre
ventative steps now rather than
wait until our economy is flat on
its back.
Tragedy of the Jobless
It is a tragedy when a person
is honestly seeking employment
and can find none. The lesson of
the great depression of the early'
thirties should be clearly remem
bered by our country; the toll of
a depression is so severe that it
must not happen again.
North Carolina
Industry and labor in North
Carolina deserve great credit for
helping to continue our econo-
The mail' 'I have 'had from' the
people reflect a definite concern
about unemplbyment but shows
no signs of panic. This is to our
credit because the attitude of a
people means much in this effort
to isolate the recession damage
and restore the economy.
Chaplain There will be1 'weep
ing, wailing and gnashing of
teeth among the "wicked who
pass on to the next world.
Sailor What about those who
haven't any teeth?
Chaplain Teeth will be pro
vided. ' , ,
nevertheless greatly disturbing to
hear that the jobless figure rose; my on a more normal plane than
by nearly 700,000 during Febru-1 some other areas of our nation.
