Social Security
Payments Reach
$93,045 In Chowan
. v.
Figures Include Dis
bursement Through
June 30, 1940
Approximately $93,045 has been
distributed in Chowan County
through operation of nine of the ten
divisions of - the Social Security Act,
from its beginning and through June
30, 1940, it is estimated, on a basis
of official figures, by Charles G.
Powelt, Chairman of the N. C. Un
employment Compensation Commis
sion.
Normally, Unemplloyment Compen
sation, or benefits to workers tem
porarily out of jobs, is the largest
item in the program, except in agri
cultural counties. The more and
larger the industries a county has,
the more jobless benefits it gets. In
the 2% years of benefit payments,
through June 30 these benefits reach
ed $24,474, included in 4,246 checks
issued the residents of Chowan
County.
Old Age Assistance, help for needy
residents past 65 years of age, in the
three years of distribution, through
last June 30, amounted to $26,653 in
this county.
Aid to Dependent Children, help
for those deprived of their normal
breadwinners, ajnounted to $8,275
in the same period-
Aid to the Blind, in the same 36
months, amounted to $3,818.
With practically accurate figures,
it is evident, Mr. Powell points out,
that about $63,220 was distributed in
this county to July 1 in four of the
five major divisions of the Act, ex
clusive of Old Aage and Survivors
Insurance.
In the other five divisions, classed
as “services,” approximately $29,825
has been distributed in this county,
including about S7OO in Child Welfare
Services and about $1,365 in Voca
tional Rehabilitation.
Disbursement of funds in the oth
er three “services” is made through
county or district health departments,
and only 76 of the 100 counties hav
ing such departments June 30, 1940,
participated in this distribution.
(Three other counties —Gates, Lin
coln and Rockingham—started organ
ized health work as of July 1, 1940, j
but did not share in the funds in the |
period, being considered). Twenty
four counties, therefore, received
practically no funds in these divi
sions, and what they would have re
ceived, and didn’t, increased the funds
to counties with health departments.
Chowan County, with a health de
partment, received $5,405 for Mater
nal and Child Health services; $47705
for Services to Crippled Children;
and $17,650 in Public Health Work.
These five “service” division re
ports are approximate. The 1940
Census figures of 3,561,990 for the
State and 11,569 for this county were
used in prorating the funds, made
up of Sederal allotments, matched
by the State and counties.
Chowan County, Central UCC office
records show, has 26 resident em
ployers subject to the Unemployment
Compensation law and 785 workers
protected by it. Liable resident em
ployers paid $39,556.92 into the State
fund in 3% years, ending last June
30, as compared with $24,474 in bene
fits drawn in 2% years, also ending
June 30, by resident workers in the
county.
Hie records show that in 30 months
of payments, unemployed workers in
the county filed 1,461 initial claims—
the first claims filed after becoming
unemployed—and 8,285 continued
claims—claims filed weekly after the
initial claims.
Employment Service recrods indi
cate that in the 3% years through
June 30, 3,218 registrations for work
and 2,031 placements in jobs were
handled in the county.

Dense Timber Should Be Thinned
This 30-year-old stand of pine badly needs thinning if it is ex
pected to make good growth. Pulpwood offers the only means of ob
taining cash for the trees thus weeded out. The trees on the ground
died because of overcrowding. They could Ipive been cut for pulp
wood but now represent a total loss to the owner.
If cut property (see lower picture) timber grows more rapidly
after being cut for pulpwood than it does before cutting.
Proper Method of Cutting Pulpwood
A 30-year-old stand of pine (same stand as in above picture)
properly thinned for pulpwood. Only crowded, poorly formed, or dis
eased trees were cut. The remaining trees were left to make increased
growth. Cutt.ng timber in this manner is called selective cutting and
means more monev over a period of years for the owner and more
timber for industry.

This once valuable forest has been destroyed by dear-cutting.
The present owner has slight chance of ever realizing another dollar
from his trees. The least a landowner can do when cutting his timber
is to leave 4to 6 seed trees per acre to provide for another crop. Bet
ter still, cut selectively as explained above. By clear cutting the
community loses its tax base, the landowner loses his source of reve
nue, and industry loses its source of wood.
The Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association urges land
owners to “Cut Conservatively—Prevent Fires—Grow More Timber."

Tagged By Coach as
Most Dependable
Performer
Paul Spencer, 191-pound junior
fullback, former Edenton High
School star, was one of the 22 Uni
versity of Alabama football players
awarded varsity letters for their {day
during the 1940 season.
The big fulback broke into the
Tide starting line-up in 1939 as a
sophomore and led the team scorers
that season with 36 points and aver
aged over 5 yards everytime he car
ried the ball. This year he bettered
his own high point mark with 48
points to his credit and hauled the
mail 104 times, gained 511 yards
for an average of 4.8 yards per try.
Tagged by Coach Frank Thomas
as one of the most dependable per
formers on the squad, “Pounding
Paul,” as he is known by his team
mates, was a standout on defense as
well as offense. He is great at back
ing up the line and disappointed more
than one “would be" pass receiver
this past season with his pass defense
ability.
His shiftiness in the open can be
traced back to his high school and
prep school days as he was an all
state halfback in two different states.
Making the North Carolina selection
two years in a row, he entered Au
gusta Military Academy and was
named on the Virginia All-State pick.
It was from this institution that he
entered the University of Alabama.
Spencer is a junior in Physical
Education, a member of Pi. K. A. fra
ternity, and is one of the most popu
lar students on the campus. His
father, Thomas A. (Spencer, is in the
lumber business, but Paul plans to
switch from pine to pine boxes and
study undertaking when he graduates
from the University. He is 5 feet,
10 inches in height and hunting is
his favorite recreation.
