Building-Loan Organizations In Record ‘Liquidy Condition RALEIGH, July 21. —IIP)— The state’s 147 building and loan as sociations, which had assets total ling $91,803,821.22 and 124,144 share holders at the end of 1944, are in the most “liquid” condition intheir history, Insurance Commissioner William P. Hodges said today. In a report to Governor Cherry covering two years of building and loan activity, Hodges said almost all associations “now are being offered more money than they are iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir able to find choice loans in suf ficient volume to absorb.” A reduction in loans, with a sub sequent lowered income brought on by war restrictions on building, has resulted in the necessity to pay lower dividends to investing mem bers, however, Hodges said. The trend of interest rates also is down ward. Twenty-three associations were lending at variable rates or at a flat rate under six per cent on December 31, 1944. Meanwhile, $25,000,000 worth of war bonds have been purchased for building and loan accounts, Hodges reported. Hodges’ report revealed 1925 as the peak year in the number of associations in operation, when 245 were licensed by the insurance co mission. Total assets at that time were $81,188,546 and share-holders numbered 92,017. There were 148 associations in 1943 with 116,602 shareholders and $86,250,004.95 in assets. Building and loan associations were placed under supervision of the insurance department in 906, and at that time reported $4,353, 887.80 in assets and 17,128 share holders. Hodges said that in 1943 and 1944 foreclosed real estate owned by the associations was reduced from $556,096.97 to $109,351.98, re presenting appoximately one-tenth of one per cent of total assets. -V wfiDYEDc nrrrcT rrrr rr viiuuiiu invvii a bum CLAIM FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS A story illustrating the need for immediate filing of social security claims was told yesterday by of ficials of the local social security field office in the Customhouse in an attempt to make the public con scious of the part it plays in the nationwide social security system. The example tells of a man who reached the age of 65, which is the retirement age according to the so cial security law, and thinking that he would be able to spend the rest of his life collecting monthly benefits, left his job and sat at home to wait (for his check from the government. After two months of unfruitful waiting he wrote to the Board and was astonished to learn that through his own negligence in not filing a claim, he was not receiv ing his benefit money. The Social Security office here points out that it is necessary for the worker upon retiring, or t h e beneficiaries of the worker upon death, to file a claim at their nearest field office. The office for New Hanover, Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Columbus, Craven, Dup lin, Onslow, Pender and Pamlico Counties is located in Room 130 Customhouse on the Market street side of the building. ■-V Buick Plans Passenger Output Of 550,000 FLINT, Mich., July 21.—— Buick division of General Motors Coroporation announced plans for the largest peacetime expansion program in its history.

T O, " *--' _ WORKER MAJORITY TO REMAIN HERE A recent survey of more +han 400 persons separating from jobs in this area, made by the local U. S. Employment service to de termine trends in the readjustment 0f local manpower, indicated that the majority of those leaving jobs are remaining in Wilmington to accept new jobs, R. S. McKeithan, manager of the U.S.E.S. here an nounced yesterday. The persons interviewed in the survey were asked their reasons for leaving their jobs, the type of new job they were seeking, where they planned to go for new em ployment, etc. The majority of those workers interviewed had been employed in essential indus try in this area, and they included white, and colored, male and fe male, minor and adult workers. The results of the survey showed that 46 per cent of those leaving jobs accepted local jobs, t.ie maj ority of which were in essential Twenty-one per cent of thipse sur veyed had been engaged in war work for the past few years, and had either left small businesses to enter this work, and now planned to return to them or were going to enter business for themself for the first time. * Fourteen per cent of those re leased said that they did not want to accept other work right away, but preferred to shop round for another job. Almost ten per cent left this area to accept jobs out of the state, and nine and one-half per cent of the group were women who planned to return to housekeeping or liv ing at home. The results of the analysis show ed that the predominant reason for wishing to change jobs was a de sire for postwar security. In other cases, such items as health, work ing conditions, monetary gain and the climate were the chief con siderations. Several complained that they wanted to settle in some less arduous forms of work after four years of the pace of wartime industry. _v_ _ Thieves Gas Chickens In Robbery Attempt WILLMAR, Minn., July 21.—(/P —Chicken thieves who use gas tc do their work silently have strucl' a second time near Willmar, tak ing several hundred springers from the farm of Hilding Haw kinson.
