Bumgar drier: It has come to my attention that certain statements are being circula ted regarding me and the board of county commissioners which convey misimpressions. One of the principal ones is: "We have an agricultural board and should have a representative of industry on the board of commissioners." I submit to the voters the question: Is not Mr. Fitzhugh L Rollins, the incumbent commissioner from Lawndale, an industrial representative? Mr* Rollins has spent a lifetime in the textile industry with Lawndale Cotton Mills. ' ' ' I respectfully submit also that I spent 20 years of my life employed in six Kings Mountain textile plants ? Pauline, Margrace, old DiHing, Mason, Bonnie, and Sadie ? in virtually all the phases of operation, sweeping, spinning, doffing, and weaving. I feel this experience qualifies me, in some measure, as a so-called "industrial representative" on the county board of commissioners. ? *3 Actually, the board of commissioners is elected to represent ALL the people, a task I have tried to do to the best of my ability for the past three . ? years. I ? - ? ?" ?' - /,? . *;;! Your vote and support on May 29 will be greatly appreciated. Signed: HAZEL B. BUMGARDNER mi SOCIAL SECURITY By L*ola M. Byerly. Field Rep. Ccutonla Social Security Office Life expectancy today is about 21 years longer than it was in 1900, according to Mr. Joseph P. Walsh ol the Gastonia Social Se curity Office. "This mteans that the average American now lives to be more than 70 years old." He pointed out that most of us from time to time, have sat down quietly, and taken stock of what we were doing and wherte we were going. Figuring up our as sets and liabilities, we decided what to do for a living, whom to marry, where to live, how to bring up our children, ete. In ma ny cases this planning is not too definite; often we more or less drift into things. As we grow old er, however, It Is wise to make serious and conscious plans for the future ? for the years AFT Eft we elect, or, are forced to re tire at age 65 or later ? - a/id ranking high In such planning should be a comprehensive plan aimed at meeting personal and family economic needs during 'these years which science holds out to us. If, in formulating your plan, you are fortunate enough to be ablte to look forward to a compa ny pension; if, in preparation for the proverbial rainy day you have laid aside a portion of your earn ings in a savings account; If wise investments ha\te been made ironi which *you hope to derive income, an<J, 11 home ownership is numbered among your goals or accomplishments, you and your family can indeed look forward with much confidence to a ffhan clally secure old age. "But, don't let your planning stop there ? don't overlook what may very well prove the most Im portant part of your entire plan nlng program ? your stake In Fedteral Old-Age and Survivors Insurance," Walsh advised. In Gastonla, as in more than 500 other communities over the nation, there is a social security field office. It Is YOUR office* maintained by the Social Security Administration for your conveni ence, Don't wait until ypu art ov er 65 and ready to retire to take advantage of Its service. Find out now how the old-age and surviv ors insurance program fits Into your plan for the future. This of fice serves Gaston, Cleveland and i Lincoln Countfcs.
