It is con fined to discussions of matters of general interest and major im portance.) "? . , K : By voting to accept Marine Corps Invitations to visit Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune as late as March 14, members of the 1951 General Assembly have admitted to themselves at least that they anticipate no unusually early ad journment. Postwar sessions have tended to creep well into April. While floor debate has been war mer this week and committees have been working with increas ing dispatch, there is little rea son to think this legislature will leave Raleigh much earlier than its two Immediate predecessors. State Aid to City Streets ? Des pite blunt warnings from high way officials and the governor that earmarking a larger portion of present highway revenues for municipal streets without levying new taxes would sacrifice dire needs of the primary highway system, the Senate appropriations committees, by a 1-vote margin, has followed quickly on the heels of the Senate roads committee in approving SB 120 signed by 38 senators. A large number of mu nicipal officials gathered in Ral eigh on Wednesday to watch the bill through the roads committee after amendments had been ap proved changing the allocation formula to operate solely on a population basis and limiting eligibility for sharing in the fund to towns which have had a recent election and provide rev enues to meet their general op erating expenses. Floor action on the bill has been postponed until February 14. Portending possible disagreement .when SB 120 rea ches the House, Rep. Royster and 21 of his colleagues have intro duced HB 262 calling for a ref erendum on whether the High way Commission shall take full responsibility lor all city streets at the cost of a 1 c increase In the gas tax. Civil Defense? To find out Just where federal responsibility for civil defense leaves off and where state and local responsi bility begins, a Joint resolution was Introduced this week calling for a committee to study the na tional program and to determine the qualifications and duties of a sttie civil defense director. The results of the investigation would be given the legislature by Mar ch 1. Highway Safety ? In the wake of House committee action kill ing 2 bills designed to restore mechanical inspection lanes, Rep. Uzzell has introduced HB 216, backed by the Motor Vehicles De partment, requiring inspection of used cars brought into the state and requiring that used cars sold here to persons other than deal ers be accompanied by an in spection certificate from a dealer or highway patrolman indicating that they comply with the re quirements of existing mechani cal equipment statutes. Motor ists long irked by having their windshields spattered when fol lowing big trucks will welcome HB 217 designed to require pro perty - hauling vehicles to be e quipped with rear wheel mud guards or fenders. SB 81 and its new companion (HB 225), re writing the financial responsibil ity act, are awaiting Joint consid eration by House and Senate committees. SB 114, which would require all persons reaching tiie age of 16 after July 1, 1952, to de monstrate their ability to read and write before obtaining dri vers' licenses inspired the most lively debate in the Senate thus far. a majority of the senators have approved it and it has been sent to he House. HB 126, requir ing taxicab operators to furnish proof of financial responsibility, | passed the House and is now in I Senate Judiciary 1. Rep. Joe King has introduced HB 268 to permit persons whose drivers' license have been revoked for drunken driving to obtain a special licen se and plates, both bearing a skull and cross bones on a bright red background, and to drive with these plates displayed. " Finance ? Restoration of the 3 percent gross receipts tax on theatres, endorsed by the gover nor and laid before the fiance committees on Thursday, was the first formal proposal to raise new revenue made in 1951. At the same time further suggestions were promised on the theory that while new taxes are not wanted, the people w juld prefer some new taxes to running short on appro priations for mental hospitals and soi other services. Organized Labor ? On Wed nesday morning the House com mittee on manufacturers and la bor held a public hearing on HB 93 which purported to repeal the statutes banning the closed and union shop In North Carolina la bor contracts. The committee took no action, possibly because the bill did not do what It was ^up posed to do. Two hours 'later a bill was introduced to remedy that defect Oddly enough its number, HB 229, Is the same giv en in 1947 to the bill which put the legislation on the statue books. Bills of Interest to local. Offi cials ? Tax officials harassed with the problem of unlisted per sonal property of non-residents will be interested in HB 276. If the particular property Should be and Is not listed in the county in which located, the bill would au thorize its seizure and, if the own er still fails to list, sale for tax es due. Commissioners would be empowered to raise Jurors fees as high as $8 a day if HB 239 be comes law. Under HB 207 clerks of superior court would be reliev ed of having to make an annual report of all public funds in their care If an acceptable CPA re port is obtained. SB 35, enlarging the power of town policemen to permit them to carry prisoners to and from Jails outside the corpor ate limits and to attend court outside town, has been ratified. The bill to submit to the people a constitutional amendment to raise the county general fund tax limit from 15c to 20c on the $100 valuation (HB 174) remains in committe hands. A local bill to allow Guilford County to pur chase fire-fighting equipment and sell or lend it to voluntary rural fire-fighting companies should be of general interest. Another local bill requires bonds men in Swain County to deposit $1,000 with the superior court clerk before they can ' furnish bonds in criminal actions in that county. Social Security ? Teachers and state employees who have left their contributions in the retire ment system and who have suf ficient years Bervice would be permitted by HB 273 to retire be fore age 60 on either a deferred or immediate allowance.

I of your wages to buy residence telephone service today than it did 10 years ago ? . . . Telephone service today costs the average North Carolina wage earner less in terms of time worked at his job than it did in 1940. In spite Of increased telephone rates, he now puts in about % less working time to pay for residence telephone service than he did ten years ago. That's because the price of telephone service has gone up far less than wages. Furthermore, telephone service has gone up far less than the "overall cost of living and far less than most com modities and services you buy every day. Meanwhile, the amount of telephone service available at your local service rate has increased immensely. Today throughout most of North Carolina you fcan call and be called from 2Vi times as many local telephones as you could in 1940. Yes, telephone service is today a bigger bargain and a smaller item in the family budget than it was ten yean ago. ? ' j f . North Carolina Manager - . " AND TILlGRAPH COMPANY A*. and SOCIAL SECURITY By Leola M. Byerly. Field Rep. Gastonla Social Security Office In an earlier article I told of a 1 provision in the new social se curity law for old-age Insurance payments to dependent hus bands. This applies when his wife is currently insured at the time of her retirement, and the hus band also has reached age 65. He .must have been receiving at least j one-half of his support from her i at the time, of her retirement, and not be entitled to an old-age ben efit based on his own earnings 1 equal to or greater hai) the a mount he would be entitled to as ' her dependent. He must file i proof of his dependency on his wife within two years of the date when she claimed her benefits, even though he may not become age 65 within that time. But suppose the woman worker should die? Would her dependent husband lose his Insurance pay ments? The answer to this last question is "No." An amendment to the new law provides for de pendent widower insurance also. If the woman worker died after August 1950, and was both cur rently and fully insured at the time of her death, the widower would receive monthly Insurance officials Is HB 274 which sets up the machinery by which employ ees of the state and any of its political subdivisions could be brought unde* the federal social security plan. ELECTION Lows ? SB 109, cal culated to abolish use of the ab sentee ballot in general elections for all except service men and disabled \Pizrzr.z, is having a difficult time. It is now in the hands of a subcommittee lor study; chances for a favorable re port are poor. If HB 266 passes, second primaries would be elimi nated where the leading candi date receives as much as 45 per cent of the total vote in races for congressional and state constitu tional offices. payments, provided he met the conditions of a dependent hus band, a.s stated aJ>ove, except that he must file proof of de pendency no later than two years after the day she died, whether or not he Was then 65. In addition, he must n^t have remarried, and must have -been living with her at the time of her death, or have been receiving regular contribu tions from her toward his sup? port at the time of her death, or she had been ordered by a court to contribute to his support. For social security purposes, a "widower" is defined as a surviv ing husband who was married to her for not less than one year immediately before the time of her death, or is the father of her sou or daughter, or legally a dopted her minor child while married to her, or was married to her at the time .both of them a dopted a child under 18. While a dependent husband's insurance payments are one-half those of the retired, insured wife, the wi dower's monthly insurance bene fit amount is three-fourths of the amount she was getting at the time Of her death. The new law provides greater protection for a dependent par ent. The amount is raised from | one- half the deceased son or dau- j filter's monthly insurance bene fit to three-fourths of the insured ; child's insurance benefit. T?v receive benefits: The de- j pendent parent, like a dependent j widower, must have been receiv- j ing at least one-half of his or her support frdni the insured j worker at the time of death. The; parent, also regardless of his! age, must file proof of depend ency within two years of the! worker's death. Also, he or she j must not be entitled to an old- ! ago benefit based on his or her own earnings equal to or greater than the amount he or she would bo entitled to as a dependent par ent. In addition, the parents must have reached age 65, and not have remarried after the death of the insured worker. These provfsions of the new law ? protecti?n for dependent husbands and widowers, and greater protection for dependent parents ? are realistic amend ments intended to close the gap with present-day living costs, and to give fuller recognition to the woman worker when she is the breadwinner in the family.
