PAGE EIGHT American Legion Will Help Veterans To Get Insurance Commander Says Six teen Million Entitled To Refunds The American Legion will assist all North Carolina veterans in applying for their National Service Life In surance dividends. This is announced by R. C. God win of New Bern, North Carolina, Department Commander of The Amer ican Legion. “Our local posts throughout the State will have the necessary appli cations which veterans will have to make to the VA to get their NSLI dividends,” Commander Godwin said. “Every veteran who held his NSLI policy for 90 days or more will have a refund coming to him. The VA ex pects to pay out approximately $2,- 800,000,000 in these refunds. Pay ments per veteran are expected to average about $175 according to the VA. On this basis North Carolina’s 400,000 World War II veterans will receive $70,000,000 1 in cash refunds.” VA has advised that special ap- 1 plication forms are now being pre pared and should be in the hands of 1 Legion Posts sometime in August. , Information required for applying for the dividends includes name, ad- £ dress, service number and insurance 1 policy number. Commander Godwin 1 said that applications should be filed as quickly as possible because it will 1 take weeks and months for a veteran < to get his refund check. 1 Actually, The Legion Commander explained, The American Legion will 1 put on the biggest manhunt in history < trying to locate veterans who are eli- i gible for the NSLI refunds. • “The VA estimates that some 16,- i 000,000 veterans are entitled to NSLI 1 refunds,” Commander Godwin said. “Today the VA has the home address ; of only six million of eligible veter ans. The American Legion will help it • to locate 10,000,000 others.” I Our County and Social Security | Recently I received a letter from a wage earner asking how he could make certain that his record of wages in our Accounting Division is being kept correctly. The answer to this question is important to every worker. I am going to tell you how to be sure. First, get out your account number card. Have you found it? It so, you see that the number has nine digits, divided into three parts. This number identifies your own account. No other person can use that number; have that number assigned to him; be paid retirement benefits from that number, except you and your family, upon your retirement or death. Your family also has a stake in your account. New let’s look at the way we keep up with your wages. Every 3 months your employer sends in a report snow ing wages paid to you during that period. He puts your name, your account number, and the wages on his report. Our Accounting Division posts, by machines, your wages to your rec ord. If your employer gets your num ber mixed up, or leaves out part of it, or uses a different name than is shown on your card, those machines refuse to accept such a report. Make certain that your employers get your name and number exactly as shown on your card. Now, how can you be certain you have been getting full credit for all your wages? Write us asking for the form used for this purpose. When you get it, give the information asked for on the post card and mail it (it is already addressed.) You’ll get a re ply giving your credits. If you do not agree with the amount shown, again write to the Social Security Office, Norfolk, Virginia A thorough recheck of our records will then be made, and if the added wages are not lo cated, the employer involved will be called upon to clear up the matter. We also want 'to be 3Ure that your wage record is correct, and we en courage everyone to ask for a state ment of his account at least every 2 or 3 years. Errors left uncorrected more than 4 years are almost im possible of correction. There is no cost to you for this service beyond the stamps you use in correspondence. I will be in Edenton at the North Carolina Employment Office, Citizens Bank Building, at 12:00 o’clock the second Wednesday of each month. Extension Service Releases Bulletin The State College Extension Ser vice this week released a new publi cation entitled “Earning Hogs on Shares.” The 12-page circular, prepared by W. L. Turner, Extension farm man agement specialist, analyzes the pro blem of how landlord and tenant may share in the production of swine. “The conventional tenure arrange ments between landlords and tenants HOW BOKIT ram By uiiuv & rkiph DOG-GONE YBVRS OF SERVICE •SQUASM-PROOr TIREG I 4® GAVE ME THIS BALD HEAD;BUT/ Tj BOUGHT IN THE BIG CITY I’VE GOT ENOUGH SENSE TO / j 4 JUST WONT TAKE ANY MILEAGE/) KNOW TUAT WHENEVER I 61/y J ® * WHY, I HAVEN'T GONE 3000 / TIRESf, I GET DEPENDABLE A° \< MILES AND ALREADY THEY'RE) ONES FROM OUR DEPENDABLE AS BALD AS YOU ARE OEAL * R RKJUT HBRB j ' for sharing crop production on a one-,1 fourth, one-third, and one-half basis are generally understood by most 1 fanners,” Turner says. “But there is no generally acceptable arrangement " for sharing in the production of hogs. It is the purpose of this bulletin to suggest a plan whereby farmers can j work out satisfactory tenure arrange- 1 ments for growing hogs.” Under Turner’s saggested plan, landlord and tenant would divide in- : come according to the percentage of i the total expense contributed by each. * The specialist points out, however, ' that it is sometimes quite difficult to determine the value of the items fur- 1 nished by each party. He pre- 1 sents, in a series of tables, factual * information designed to help solve this problem. Turner urges that landlord and ten ant sign a written agreement set ting forth the responsibilities of each party, so that misunderstandings may be avoided. Copies of publication, designated as Extension Circular No. 338, may be obtained from the local county agent or by writing to the Agricul tural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh. The hearts of men are their books; events are their tutors; great actions are their eloquence. —Macaulay.
