“That story, Mr. D’Auteuill, certain
ly points out the need for older work
ers to stop a moment and find out
about their old-age insurance rights.”
Thus expressed your editor after our
conversation about the case in which
benefits were lost.’
When a man makes a will, he tells
his wife where he keeps it and what to
do about it. He'does the same about
a life insurance policy. If he a
bank account, his wife often knows
as much about the account as he does.
There are millions of workers who
have social security accounts—but not
all workers and their wives know How
to cash in on that account at the prop
er time. Your Editor’s remark wa3
prompted by a case illustrating this
lack of knowledge.
The case was about an old furni
ture worker, who was not only self
reliant but proud of his good health
at age 67. His pride lost him social
security benefits. This old fellow had
worked 50 years in his trade. He had
been able to pay for his home and to
put something aside for his old age.
One day he began to have dizzy spells.
At first he was able to work the bet
ter part of the day, but finally he
reached the point where it was a tre
mendous effort for him to even get
out of bed.
"Finally he had to stop altogether.
He felt that since he had never been
sick a day in his life before this, that
he’d soon get better and could go back
to work. He, also, felt that if he filed
for his old-age benefits, it would mean
that he wasn’t going to get better and
wouldn’t be able to go back to work.
He didn’t understand the provisions of
his benefit rights under Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance.
After not working for six months,
his employer told him that he should
visit our office and get his benefits.
Well, he came in, but still fighting
proud, said he would take his Old-Age
payments temporarily. It’s too bad he
didn’t come in right away when he got
sick and file an application then. He
would have gotten a payment for
every month he didn’t work. His wife,
also 65, would have received payments
for each month in which he did.
The servicing office of the Social
Security Administration for this area
is located in the Flatiron Building,
Room 520, Norfolk, Va. A representa
tive of this office is in Edenton at the
local employment office, Citizens
Bank Building, at 12:00 o’clock the
second Wednesday of each month.

1 November Supply Os
Turkeys Plentiful
November is turkey t ! me. And,
with the U. C. Department of Agri
, culture reporting about 29 per cent
, more turkeys raised this season than
in 1948, heavy turkey marketings in
November are expected to cause both
wholesale and retail prices to drop
below those of a year ago, Miss Re
becca Colwell, home demonstration
agent for the State College Extension
Service, said this week.
What’s more, she added, there’s a
better-than-average crop of cranber
ries this year to team with turkeys as
well as broilers, fryers, and stewing
hens. All are listed by USDA as
plentiful foods for November menus. I
Pork also appears on the plentifuls I
list, for the first time in several years, j
Miss Colwell said. Last season’s
large ccm crop and heavy spring pig
farrowing were given as reasons for
the increasing supply of pork.
Fruits are wall represented on the I
November plentifuls list, with apples, I
grapes, and winter pears sharing the I
limelight with raisins and dried I
prunes. Plentiful vegetables include I
fresh sweet potatoes, greens, cauli- I
flower, canned corn and canned pump- I
kin.
Eggs are slated for an increase in I
supply in November, USDA says, and I
bountiful supplies of manufactured I
dairy products and dried beans and I
pea 3 offer other sources of protein I
for fall meals.
Tree nuts —pecans, walnuts, al- I
monds, and “filberts—cooking fats, I
honey, sugarcane syrup, and molasses I
are other plentifuls on Southern mar- I
kets
