SECTION TWO TODAY —Every morning on my way to work I pass a mass of rusting steel plates and beams. They are the bones of a ‘dream that has died. The buttercups and dandelions and grasses have wearied of pushing their way up to the sunlight beside them. Flat' on its face lies a rotting sign with these once brave words: “The Future Site of Edenton’s Swim ming Pool.” It is saddening—it is tragic. YESTERDAY— WiIIiam F. (Buff alo Bill) Cody was the only fig uhe out of the old West that I have seen in person. Buffalo hunter, scout, pony express rider and showman Buffalo Bill per sonified the old West. But these old-time Westerners were not al together the streamlined coun terpart of the colorful, dandified Western figures that stalk KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY P. E. Bellendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad ministration. is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro, line Employment Security Commission in Cltisens Bank Building. Have you ever wondered just what is realized by payments in to the Social Security system? On December 31, 1956, Social Se curity checks were coming to 423 beneficiaries in Chowan Countv and 318 in Perquimans County with a monthly payment of $17,- 463.00 in Chowan County and $13,503.00 in Perquimans County. These figures do not include dis ability payments and disabled child’s benefits. Disability pay ments became effective July, 1957 and disabled child benefits be came effective January, 1957. These figures do not reflect the majority of self-employed farm ers as most of them became eligi ble in 1957. More than 213 retired workers in Chowan County were getting monthly social security insurance payments totalling $10,987.00 at the end of 1956 and more than 156 retired workers in Perquimans County were getting social securi ty payments totaling $8,331.00 at the end of 1956. At the end of 1956, monthly benefit payments were going to 49 wives or aged dependent hus bands of old-age beneficiaries and to 33 aged widows or dependent aged widowers and parents in Chowan County. The figures for Perquimans County are 41 wives and 26 aged widows. The 12- month increase in aged benefici aries is due partly to the lower ing from 65 to 62 of the age at which a woman without an en titled child in her care may quali fy for benefits. The, lowering of the retirement age for women was one of the provisions of the 1956 Amendments to the Social Securi ty Act and became effective las* November. It applies to retired women workers, wives of old-age beneficiaries, and widows or de pendent mothers of deceased in sured workers.

TOMORROW —I, for one, am looking forward with much an ticipation to the results of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) which began on July 1 of this year and will continue for 18 months. This project is a massed scientific assault of more than 5,000 scientists from 56 na tions to wrest from nature her last and well-hidden secrets. Everything, on, around, above and below the earth will be ex plored. And experiments with artificial satellites will be under way to probe the upper air, the first satellite being launched in November Who knows, the to three years longer uefore start ing to get benefits under the old law became entitled to benefits in the last two months of 1956. Noting the OASI coverage has taken hold rapidly in recent years, it is pointed out that three-fourths of the men becoming 65 this year will be eligible for social securi ty benefits. Os all people over 65 years of age, 62 pier oent are now drawing benefits or will be en titled to draw them when their income from work stops. In December, 1956, 110 chil dren in Chowan County were be ing paid a total of $3,121.00 monthly and 70 children in Per quimans County were being paid a total of $1,990.00 monthly. These were largely minor children of a deceased insured parent: a smalle number were children under If whose iesured lather or mother had retired. All of these were unmarried children under 18. White rhild’s benefits ordinarily slop at age 18, a recent change in the law which makes payments possible for a child over 18, bas ed on the insured account of a retired or deceased parent, if the child became totally disabled be fore reaching 18. Payments will V made also to the mother who has the disabled child in her care. Car Registrations In State Now Ch er Million And Half Motor vehicle regisrations in North Carolina for the first six months of the year topped a mil lion and a half, the Motor Ve rJcles Department reports. Miss Foy Ingram, director of the agency’s registration division, listed a grand total of 1,570 ve hicles, based on figures through July 1. Vehicles registered in Chowan County total 3,970.

Most of us kill time for no reason at all. Thomas Jefferson said that no person will have occasion to com plain of a lack of time if he nev er loses any time. Jefferscn used every moment to its capacity. James Partin in his “Life of Jef ferson”, \yrote, “A gentleman of 32 who could calculate an eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, plan an edifice, try a cause, break a horse, dance a minuet and play the violin.” We know him, too, as the author of the Declaration of Independence, President of the United States, educator, inventor and engineer. Jefferson knew how to use time. His accomplish ments shame us when we kill time. Writing on the “Wisdom of Life” Schopenhauer said, “Ordi nary people think merely how they may spend their time: a man of intellect tries to use it.” Are you spending or using time?
