The Roundup
By WILBORNE HARRELL
Today—Fashion note: Someone
asked me why I wasn’t wearing
Bermuda shorts. But, shucks,
when a fellow’s legs and knees

would look like
a pair of croquet
npallets, he has
no business
wearing shorts,
Bermuda or oth
erwise ... And
judging by the
way some legs
look, both male
and female
there’s lots of
folks ain’t got no
business wear-
ing ’em.

KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad
ministration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro
lina Employment Security Commission in Citisens Bulk
Building.
A day never goes by in which!
I am not asked a question about i
social security. Many of these
questions apply to a great num
ber of people.
I will answer any question
about social security you may
have. Direct your question to me
at the social security office, Nor
folk 10, Virginia.
These are a few of the questions
I was recently asked, which could
apply to you.
Q—l Operate a dairy farm and
report my farm hands on Form
943 at the end of each year. Re
cently I hired a maid and I do
not know whether to report her
wages yearly along with those of
my regular farm hands or to re
port her wages on quarterly re
ports. Which is correct?
A—Although employers ordi
narily report wages paid their do
mestics at the end of each calen
dar quarter, because you* operate
a farm for profjt, you should re
port wages paid to your maid on
the report (Form 943) you file for
regular farm employees. Report
only those employees (including
your maid) whose wages amount
to $l5O or more or who work 20

Tomorrow —There have been en
tirely too many unnecessary col
lisions of planes in the air lately,
so much so the government is go
ing to do something about it. A
special study is being ordered by
Eisenhower to examine* these
midair collisions, with a view to
eliminating them “to the maxi
mum degree”. The seriousness
and urgency of the situation is
reflected in these headlines, which
lay before me: “President Orders
Air Safety Study.” “Work Be
ing Rushed on Safety Control
System for Planes.”
Lowell Thomas says, “It is a
major air problem crying for a
solution.” We who may fly to
morrow want the greatest safety
obtainable.

HERMAN F. WHITE
Livestock Specialist
Gives Fat Steer Tips
Thinking about raising a fat
steer?
If so, perhaps you’d be inter
ested in the following tips giv
en by James W. Patterson, ani
mal husbandry specialist for the
N. C. Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, to 4-H’ers planning to have
livestock projects.
First of all, Patterson urges
4-H’ers not to waste a ]ot of time
and effort deciding what breed
of cattle to raise. Remember,
the type of steer within the breed
is more important than the breed
alone.
“The eye of the master fat
teneth the cattle” is an old Scotch
saying. This means paying strict
attention to the finer points of
feeding such as feeding at the
same time each day, keeping the
feed trough and waterer free
from dirt and spoiled feed.
Before buying your feeder calf,
make sure your facilities are in
order for proper handling and
care.
When buying, get the b°st steer
possible for your money.
Feed a recommended ration and
you should make a profit at mar
ket price.
Train your calf while he’s small
—it’s easier then.
