The 1956 social security year will become lost to farmers who have not filed for it on or before December 31, 1959. If you have . not filed social security for 1956, ' and you want to use that year for credit, you must file for it this .calendar year, according to the information we have. According to census figures given us recently, there are 12 farmers in Chowan County who are of retirement age and are not enrolled in social security. These should file and get cleared immediately if they are inter ! ested.

As the Christmas season ap-' I proaches, we can sense a changed | attitude in people. The often ex pressed wish “Merry Christ- j mas” seeims to fill the world | with a sort of kindness and happiness. Some people say “Christmas is really for children.” The match- , less story of the Baby in a Manger, the Angels’ Song, the shepherds, the wise men—these hold a natural appeal for a child. But we know that Christ mas, the mass of the Christ, is a time for all of us to get bark our childlike faith and trust again. This season could be a time of .renewing family ties. A family Christmas gives one a feeling of belonging, of being loved, of the woi'thwhileness of life.
