Most people self-employed in a
trade or business were covered by
social security beginning with
1951 provided the annual net
earnings are S4OO or more. Net
earnings from self-employment as
an architect, professional engi
neer, accountant, or funeral direc
tor, are covered by the Law for
taxable years ending after 1954.
If you are a self-employed law
yer, dentist, osteopath, veterinar
ian, chiropractor, naturopath, or
optometrist, your earnings for
taxable years ending after 1955
will count. toward social securi
ty benefits. The self-employed
farmer is covered by the Law for
taxable years ending after 1954,
I if his net earnings from self-em-j
ployment are S4OO or more in a
year.

Norfolk Southern
! Is Target In Suit
! For Bridge Wreck
Son of Dead Engineer
Seeking $125,000
Damages
William M. Munden, Jr., of,
Elizabeth City, whose father was*
killed July 5 of last year when,
two diesel engines crashed'
through a trestle on the Albe
marle Sound bridge, last week
filed suit against the Norfolk
Southern Railway Company in!
Federal Court in Norfolk. The
elder Munden was an engineer’
and his son is asking $125,000
damages on behalf of the widow
and three children. S. B. Bray
of Raleigh, a conductor, was also
killed in the accident.
The suit charges that the Nor- j
! folk Southern Company failed to:
keep the trestle in proper repair,!
and that the deterioration of the j
trestle was known or could have
been ascertained by inspection.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission investigated the cause of;
the accident and ruled last Octo-!
, ber it was caused by “dangerous-1
ly decayed pilings”. Railway of-*i
ficials said the trestle was in
spected daily.
j The six-mile railway crossing
was built in 1910. After the ac
'l
cident, which cut a 70-foot gap in
the structure, it was repaired and
is in use today.
The suit charges Norfolk
Southern failed to comply with
ICC regulations governing the
movement of freight cars over the
trestle, and that the line violated
provisions of the Federal Safety
Appliance Act by allowing the
track and roadbed to become de
fective.

installed in Wilmington by the
distributor for testing and for
promotional purposes. Baer stat
ed that during the testing period
company employees would re
work and refinish the five basic
molds over which the fiber glass
laminations are applied.
Edenton Industries, Inc., was
organized last April with local
capital. Baer stated that the com
pany has a bright future in an
industry which has been unaffect
ed by the “recession." The Na
tional Swimming Pool Institute
states that 44,000 pools of all
types were installed last year.
The Institute estimates that 53,-
| 000 home swimming pools will be
installed in 1958 throughout the
i country. This will represent
about $600,000,000 in sales.
Baer said, “The fiberglass in
dustry is on the threshold of tre
mendous expansion bringing re
j wards to those who can produce
| new items in this field. Edenton
i Industries is planning full produc
tion of its pools to take advantage
of this demand. We are confident
that the quality and price of the
. company’s product will capture
our share of the market.
J “The rectangular design which
| our engineers developed,” Baer
added, “has already attracted fay
i arable attention in the trade. It
is the largest fiberglass pool and
the only expandable pool now on
the market. Our distributor has
i prepared promotional material for
I consumer sales and has organized
I a sales form .to handle distribution
•j and service throughout eastern
United States.”

fear. —Seneca.
European School System Is Not
Comparable To American PlanJ
Say Editors Os Changing Times
To make general comparisons! i
between the European and Amer- <
lean educational systems is diffi- ;
cult, say the editors of Changing ;
Times, the Kiplinger Magazine, i
because each is based on a dif
ferent concept of education.
The European systems are for
the intellectual elite where tough
testing programs tend to favor
children from upper social and
economic classes. The American
educational system, on the other
hand, is geared to educating ev
ery child.
The only fair comparison be
tween the two systems, say the
editors, is with our bright stu
dents who may attend our best
colleges or make honor societies.
In that case, they say U. S. stu
dents compare very well. At the
professional level, training here ! s
as good as it is abroad, often
much better. Witness the fact
that we enroll more foreign stu
dents than Europe does Ameri
cans—over 40,000 a year.
At the age of 16, less than 20
per cent of European youths are
in school, while in the U. S. some
70 per cent are studying. At the
ages of 18 to 20, about 25 per
cent of our boys and girls are in
school. In Europe, fewer than
10 per cent are receiving academ
ic training.
As early as the age of 10 or
11, the European youth takes a
tough national exam. If he does
well he is permitted to attend an
academic high school where he
prepares for the university. If he
doesn’t, he takes a general course,
perhaps a vocational course, and
then drops out of sdiiool at about
15.
Youngsters who do get into the j
academic high schools and stay \
the full time receive the rough
! equivalent of an American high |
school academic course plus two j
> years of college. But the going is ;
i rocky, and a great many drop out ,

our schools need improveipept, I
say the editors, and could pick UP J:
a few pointers from the Euro
peans. But quite a few people
over there are dissatisfied with :
their schools, too.
As for the Russian educational |
system, that is something else
again. Everyone hears how effi
cient the Russian schooling is
supposed to be. But remember i
that all USSR students take rigid |
national exams in order to pass
the fourth, seventh and tenth
grades. Above the secondary lev
el, the government fixes quotas
for enrollment in various fields
and assigns graduates to jobs in
industry.-
Political supervision and indoc
trination permeate all schooling.
Boys get regular military instruc
tion. Tenth graders practice with
live ammunition.
School and home assignments*
are so heavy that physicians com
plained publicly that students
were suffering from “chronic
overexhaustion.”

Outdoor writer Charley Dickey
is an ardent and very successful
hunter of crows. Yet in the Feb
ruary issue of Sports Afield Mag
azine he admits to being the
world’s worst crow caller. How
can this be?
Though calling is important,
there’s a much bigger secret.
Charley Dickey tells it in one
word —camouflage.
It’s simple enough—as long as
the crows don’t get a good loqk
at you they are not afraid to
keep circling overhead. Have
yon noticed how close you can
drive to crows as long as your
car is moving? But just stop the
car. The crows spook pronto.
They know something is up

even novice crow calling get one

they pull the four-alarm emer

But, if crows can’t identify you

One of the best ways to hide is
to use a cotton camouflage suit.
Several manufacturers make
these suits which include pants,
