Page 2 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, September 5, 1958 Ci.iy Smith, New Bern postal employee, was much too young whc" this happened to remember Oi':u night, while just a little fel lou, ne and his Dad were sharing each other’s company on the front pure: of the Smith home on Pol lock street. Gasing up in the sky, Chuck iiotiC'd one of the more attractive woiwers that the heavenly bodies ofl'ei' ' Vi'o’ve got a new moon tonight,” CluKK told his small son, but he harcty e.xpected the reply that he got, ' scratching his head in astonish- mo!.-. and bewilderment, Billy said, ‘■\V li;; Daddy I thought it was the CLEANERS 223 CRAVEN DIAL ME 7-2700 same moon we’ve been having!” And of course it was, so Chuck had to give his moppet a lesson in astronomy without further ado. It’s a cute story, and some of the country’s bigger newspapers obviously thought so too. They published it as a bright saying, and if we remember it rightly the Bos ton Daily Record even drew a car toon of Billy and Chuck, seated on their porch with the moon in full view. This very same thing, we ima gine, has happened to many an other parent, perhaps to some of you. However, to the best of our knowledge, this was the only time it ever got into print. At any rate, just to be on the safe side, don’t tell your kids that there’s a new moon up yonder un less you’re prepared to do some ex plaining. You’ll have enough explaining to do as it is, if Russian and Ameri can scientists succeed in splatter ing dye on it. “Why,” your brat might ask you, “can’t I have a dirty face, if the man in the moon can have one?” Bigger Social Security Payments Start in '59 The Social Security Amendments of 1958 will provide increased monthly payments to about 15,000 people in the Raleigli area, begin ning with the checks which are due early in February, 1959, according to John Ingle, social security dis trict manager in Raleigh. The amount of the increase will average about seven per cent. People who are already getting social security payments do not need to apply for the increase. It will be automatically added to the checks for January, which will be mailed out early in February. Under other changes made by the new law, social security benefits will become payable to a number of people not previously eligible for payments. They must, however, apply to their social security offices before payments can start. Among the groups now eligible because of the amendments are: • Some dependents of people who are now getting disability in- Mr. Nat Says: 65 million meals are served daily in public dining rooms . . . are cooked by GAS CALL US TODAY , AND REMEMBER, NATURAL GAS IS ON THE WAY .

If a high wall cabinet cannot be lowered, you can install an open shelf below it for storing every day articles. You can correct a too-low sink by using a dishpan and setting it on a wooden platform to bring it up to the correct height. To build a dishpan platform, determine pi-oper height of platform, and cut two base pieces accordingly. Nail crosspieces to base members. Use 1” lumber for base, _ l/2”x3” for crosspieces. You cah “rise” to a too-high sink by standing on a wooden platform. You can raise too-low counters by fitting them with new bases or tops. You can buy an adjustable kitch en stool and raise or lower it to suit yourself. TRAY CART WILL SAVE STEPS —If you own a tray cart, make the most of it. You'll save yourself thousands of steps in the course of a year. Use it when you set and clear the table (you will need to make only one trip each way). Pile it with cleaning supplies and wheel it from room to room. Before you blome your typist.•• fake a look at her typewriter! Maybe ft's worn out. Maybe It |ust needs aligning.
