KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY g£S&BrS2&HSI£ To draw disability payments or have his earnings record fro zen under the Federal social se curity program, two things must be established. The first is that the person has worked long enough to meet the requirements of the law. As we discussed in a previous article, this work test requires, that he have worked undef social security for five of the ten years before he became disabled. Self-employed farm ers who had no non-farm workj under social security could not ■ meet this requirement earlier! than Octpber 1959. If he meets j this test, he must next establish! that he is disabled witltin the! meaning erf the law. The requirement is that his disability is so severe that he is “unable to engage in any sub stantial gainful activity.” A de cision must be made in each in dividual case based on medical records and other evidence.

There are two changes in the conservation practices for 1960. A new practice, i\ J, “The ini tial establishment - f permanent vegetation as protection against ciCiSion'’ has been ctuied.

In some cases it may be necessary to have an examina tion by a specialist, i The disability may be mental or physical but cannot be tem porary. The disability must be expected indefinitely or end in death. A temporary disability ; cannot be Considered, regardless jo* how severe it may be at the i time. For example, a person ! could suffer a broken leg in an j accident and be laid up for eight months. This would not meet ! the test because the disability ordinarily would not be perma nent. However, if complications developed resulting in the toss of the leg, the disability test might be met. In our next ar ticle we shall explain the 6- months waiting period which t necessary before disability pay ments can start dams, dikes, levees, faYm road sides, and field borders to re tard erosion. A cost-share pay ment of $17.80 per acre can be obtained under this practice or fertilizer and seed. Lime at $4.50 per ton will be furnished in addition if needed according to a soil test. This practice was added by the Qhowan County Technical Committee to meet the need for erosion protection on newly-con structed open ditches. Erosion has destroyed many of our ditches within three to five years due to poor maintenance and the lack of protection. The other major change in the 1960 ACP practice is a reduction in cost-share assistance from 10 cents a cubic yard to 8 cents per cubic yard for excavated ponds for livestock and irriga tional purposes. Included as conservation prac tices undei the 1960 ACP pro gr.m are - Permanent pasture or f.:.y, add.tic’-al vegetative cover in crop rotation, liming mate rials, tree planting, permanent pasture or hay improvement, farm ponds, forest improvement, woodland disking for reforesta tion, sod waterways, terracing. [ open ditch drainage, tile drain age, tree planting to prevent wind or water erosion, winter cover crop, summer annual le gumes, year-around cover, small jirain-fescue seeding in crop ro taiicjn, and initial establishment of permanent vegetations as pro tection against erosion. If you need any of these conservation practices on your farm, sign-up during January 18-29 at the local ASC office. SCS personnel will oe available to assist you on your needs for open ditch drainage, tile drainage, sod wa terways, terraces, farm ponds, tree y.anting to prevent wind cr w u ter erosion and any other practice you desire assistance on. On tne above named conser vation practices, you must come to the local Soil Conservation Service office before signing up in or. tor io get the necessary technical assistance in carrying cut the practice. A priority system wi'.l be set up by the Chowan County district super visors to service requests in 1960. In 1959, more requests for service were received by the district supervisors than service available from the Soil Conser vation Service.

Watch the 1960’s for new names from Hollywood. The producers there are getting weary of shelling out unbeliev able sums for name stars. For instance, last year John Wayne got $633,000 for one picture; William Holden got $750,000. The topper was Liz Taylor, de manding a million. Also there’ll be fewer films made. Less qual ity, more quantity. Big doings mis past decade in Hollywood? Lana Turner’s, daughter slaying momma’s boy-) friend; Bing Crosby’s wife dying) of cancer and later Bing marry-J ing Kathryn Grant; Grace Kelly! winning (a) an Oscar and (b) | a prince; deaths of three big producers, Louis B. Mayer, Cecil B. DeMille and Harry Cohn and these top stars: Tyrone Power, James Dean, Errol Flynn, Mario Lanza, Humphrey Bogart and Suzan Ball. Other events of the past decade that made entertain ment headlines included Si natra's battling romance with I Ava Gardner; the divorce of I Rita Hayworth ani Aly Khan (along with Rita grabbing up ; husbands 4 and 5). This past i decade also saw Ingrid Berg man mother an illegitimate baby, later returning to Hollywood esteem. (You may insert your own editorial opinion here). Lots of other happenings, of course, but those were the headline makers of the fabulous fifties. Henry Morgan fired from his program. Usual reason. Ir suit ing a potential sponsor. Makes his network nervous. Payola is still in the news, but I’m getting as tired of that as I am of Castro’s wild ravings against the U. S. Another showbiz death: Hanns Leo Reich, Austrian writer and radio broadcaster, who conduct ed a program called “The Aus trian Horn.” One of the TV critics made the statement that the only smart TV papa is Robert Young, j Evidently, he doesn’t watch “Love and Marriage.” Murray Han ilton is quite an intelligent papa on that and on “Leave It To Beaver,” Hi"*’ Beaumont proves quite a sensible gent.
