PAGE FOUR I—SECTION TWO KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY P. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad ministration. is in Edenlon every Thursday at the North Caro lina Employment Security Commission in Citisens Bank Building. Several times each day, the re ceptionist at our office hears the following from some elderly per son who comes in for informa tion; “I*rh thinking of retiring next year and applying for . so cial security payments, but I don’t have a birth certificate. What on earth am I going to do?” Or a younger man (who per haps has just brought an insur ance policy and is thinking way ahead) will say, “What kind of proofs should my wife bring to the social security office in case of my death?” Some of the folks who ask these questions are just curious, some want to start getting their proofs ready ahead of time, and a few are really worried because they fear that their social securi ty payments may be delayed be cause they don’t have a birth cer tificate, they’ve lost their marri age certificate, or some other item of proof may not be easily available. Since these problems may con cern a lot of people who haven’t asked about them, here’s the story on the proofs you’ll need) for your social security claim. First, the proofs most often needed are proof of your age, of your marriage, of the ages of your wife and children, and of your recent earnings. Sometimes other proofs are needed—proof of a divorce, for instance. There’s no way to be sure exactly what proofs will be needed until your claim is ready to be decided. So hold on to any family rec ords you have—birth and bap tismal certificates, marriage and] divorce certificates, certificates of adoption if any of your chil dren are adopted, and so on. If you have lost some of them, you may want to get certified copies. Certified copies are almost as good as the originals, and they, may be helpful to you in many | ways. They may or may not bej necessary in connection with j your social security claim; we do| not like to see people worry andj go to a lot of trouble to get j proofs just for social security' when they may never be needed, but these papers are important in so many different ways that they should be kept by everyone. If you’re concerned because they didn’t keep birth records, and issue birth certificates when you were born, quit worrying. Few people realize what a trail of records they have left behind them. If you've ever joined a church or lodge, if you have ever been married or been in court, j if you’ve ever been drafted or served in the armed forces or| taken out insurance, or been' counted in the Census, or gonej to school ,your age is probably) listed somewhere. There are lit-] erally dozens of places to 100k — j and when you apply for social se-1 curity payments these records j which you had probably forgot ten, will help to prove your age I Samovar 100 PROOF VODKA F^^4"33lj| , f Samovar I VODKA g nwmn snout» • hum cm H N Jlf ' ; j MKI f ?

So my advice to the person who expects to apply for social security payments in a few years is—hold onto whatever papers you have that show who you are, how old you are, who your wife or husband is, their ages, the ages of your children, and What your recent earnings were—but don’t worry if there’s some proof you don’t have. We’ll advise you what proofs you need when the time comes, and the chances are that you’ll be able to get every thing that’s necessary in a few days. 4-H Clubs Maintain Lead In Enrollment North Carolina continues to lead the nation in the number of boys and girls enrolled in 4-H Clubs. L. R. Harrill, state 4-H Club leader, cites a recent report re leased by the U. S. Department of Agriculture which shows that 4-H enrollment in North Caro lina reached 161,264 in 1958. i This was an increase of 6,997 members over 1957. These 4-H’ers completed 165,- 764 projects in 1958, Harrill re ports. The projects included 10,- 269 acres of corn with a total value of $134,210; 1,387 acres of tobacco valued at $1,387,000; 26,- 398 hogs valued at $659,950; 6,- 500 dairy animals valued at $975,- 150; and 163,808 chickens valued at $163,808. “Numbers enrolled and pro jects completed do not tell the true story of 4-H achievement in North Carolina by any means.” Harrill said. “Tar Heel 4-H boys and girls were at or near the top in many national and interna tional awards.” Clyde Templeton of Iredell County was one of eight club members to represent the nation at the Canadian National 4-H Club Conference, and Bilf Jones of Buncombe County was one of six club members picked to re port to President Eisenhower on club work in 1958. Harrill believes one of the most significant developments in 4-H work in 1958 was the organi zation of a 4-H Club Develop ment Fund. This organization, formed by 4-H alumni, has its own board of directors and exec utive committee, and is set up i to operate as a part of the N. C. State College Foundation. The immediate objective of the Fund, according to Harrill, is to raise a minimum of $1 million. This money will be used to en large and support the 4-H camp program, to provide a minimum of two SI,OOO scholarships for club members in each of the state’s 100 counties, to support a state-wide awards system, and to further world understanding through the International Farm Youth Exchange TRY A HERALD CLASSIFIED THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTOWLNORTH CAROLINA.

Explorers are Navy weather personnel. Frankly Speaking By Frank Roberts Hi again. Our new summer program sohedule got under way yesterday. Hope you enjoy it. Os course, we’re really glad to welcome Mike Malone back to our WCDJ microphones. Mike will be with us through the sum mer months and I know his many friends will be glad to welcome him back. This is one nice guy, and it’s always a pleasure to work with him. Os course, James, Nancy and myself will be haunt ing the air-waves when Mike isn't around. Anyway, it’s a summertime schedule and I hope you enjoy it. Now for the big news concern ing the contest we ran to find a name for our show. It occurred to me, even during the course of the contest, that I’m not very good at this sort of thing, because I dislike picking one winner from the many entrants. I always feel like I’m slighting those other folks who were nice enough to take the time and trouble to write in their suggestions. A lot of good titles came through the mail. Some were names I’d usgd previously, by the way, with other stations. Anyway, to ev eryone who sent in suggestions, many thanks. Now as to the winner, sincere congratulations go to Mrs. C. C. Baker, P. O. Box 561 of Edenton for her sug gestion; “Reveille with Roberts.” Several reasons for picking this is the winner. It’s alliterative, and that's always good for the title of any radio show. It tells the time of day the show is on; tells who’s doing it; it’s easy to say and remember; it’s a “dif ferent” title from that of any other morning-type show. So sincere congratulations to Mrs. Baker. I’ll be talking to her on the air and, of course, I’ll be pre senting her with her prize, and it’s a beauty. A transistor-port able radio, worth $62.50.

Ricks Is Concerned About Plastic Bags “The -plastic bag your dry cleaner returns your clothes in has many uses,” says James P. Ricks, Jr., of the Ricks Laundry and Dry Cleaners, “but it should not be used as a child’s play thing.” This comment follows a recent report of four cases of suffoca tion in infants that, stemmed from the material. “The plastic can build up an electrostatic charge, grab with clinging ten acity to the child’s face,” says a. danger signal!

The Na tional Safety Council, American Medical Association and various state medical societies are also alerting the public. The Institute statement said that used properly the bags are safe and that customers had found varied uses for the hund reds of millions of plastic bags distributed by drycleaners and others in the past five years, when plastic has been so popu lar. The Institute cautions par ents to “treat the bags with as much caution as headache pills, sleeping tablets, insecticides, sharp tools, and toxic and flam mable fluids and keep them av/ay from children.
