SECTION TWO This Is My Weather by Wilbornc Harrell mPffM 1- urn Winter, to me, with its snow and ice and chilling wine’s is a season of hibernal ng. Like a bear, I figuratively go through a period of waiting—for spring and* the good old summertime. i Winter has its points, I admit;, it has a very definite subtle, se- ‘ ductive beauty that outwardly i friendly, but underneath this icy exterior lies an unleashed iron-i I ■" ’ 1 i ,#s | ; PR I i rnm m)hxvm g|l I * IJ ftl I SALE STARTS APRIL 16th See our big circular at I your door for the big gest bargains ever of fered in Edenton and the Albemarle area. —Schenlai RESERVE | *'^ t v..- r " THE CHOWAN HERALD stc.\ Winter displays a ruthless, savage beauty, that in my opin ion completely negates its lesser esthetic values. | Winter is also the unkindest season of aIL It takes its toil, its pound of flesh, in human misery and culter ng, and bears; down hard in ihe one quarter where ! the average man is most sensitive | and understanding—his pocket i book. Among other things, one’? ! iuel bill is not the least, by fat , i of a winter’s expense. We all yearn, whether we ai tnit it or not, for a life of ease. Who has not dreamed of being cast away on a lush tropic isle, where we car. wear few clothes, do little for our daily bread, and spend the days with the least ef fort. And what better exempli fies this South Sea inertia than the g’.Hsd old summertime. It is the nearest approach to a tropic paradise most of us will ever reach. In the warm days of summer we can throw off the tyranny of an overcoat and abandon the en slavement of such wearing ap parel as mufflers and sweaters and longiohas. And we can glee fully discard the hampering con fines of gloves—those ten-finger ed monstrosities that dulls the I sensitivity of the fingers and cramps the operation of the hand, —one of God’s grandest mecha-j nisms. And man, at the first breath of j spring, if he were not a slave to (convention, would kick off lis j shoes and live again the life of ‘a carefree, barefoot boy. We all have a little bit of youth left in us, a little bit of Puck and Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn lingers in our bones no matter, how old we get. We live again, if only in memories, the days of the ',‘ole swimmin' hole”, the make shift, tree-limb fishing pole and the feel of warm earth against unfettered toes, the smell of honeysuckle and damp grass and the thousand and one per fumes of spring. And we hear 1 again the myriad orchestra of birds and insects that spring in ! to concert in the springtime, i Nothing is free in this life, not j even the generosity and lavish ness of nature in the springtime. But even the sting of the most j vicious mosquito, or the danger l of snake bite or poison ivy, les sens its potency when we rea i lize that this is a minor price to pay for warm weather. And I then there is the enervating heat of deep summer that must be • stoically endured for the sake o f • overall comfort and warmth. Al’ the danger and discomforts of the [ summer season are minor, in my | opinion, and not for a moment a i great as the major threats of win I ter. J With one exception: We as j sume that a hurricane or tornado is the ultimate in -nature’s arsen [al of .weapons, but the Weather | Bureau tells us that for force ex > pended a good, old-fashioned : summer thunder storm is a good ! match for a twister or hurricane. But give me the good old sum mertime—any time. This is my weather. j KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY 1 ( P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad { ministration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North Caro. ] 1 Una Employment Security Commission in Citizens Bank j Building. { The risk of disability hangs over all of us, and although it may strike only one in every hundred, it may affect the fami ly’s financial security more than the retirement, or even the death of a worker. In recent years the old-age and survivors insurance program has been enlarged to give pro- 1 tection also against loss of earn ings because of severe, long lasting disabilitv. Part of our job at the social security office is to answer ques tions which people have about this protection under the social security program. These are the questions most often asked about disability benefits under the so cial security law: Q. How old do I have to be to be eligible for disability benefits? A. Monthly payments may be made to disabled workers aged 50 to 65. A person’s disability benefits are automatically changed to old-age benefits when he reaches 65. The amount of the benefit is the same.
