In fact. | we think it is more distinctive to have the separate Confeder ate park that can be seen the entire length of Broad Street. “Hoping you will give our en dorsement of this project your consideration.” Episcopalians Begin To Observe Lent Episcopalians in Edenton join forces with the Anglican Com munion around the world Ash Wednesday as Lent begins.

Once again I have asked for action on a bill I introduced last year which would enable those people who receive social security benefits to earn more outside income without be- • ing penalized. Under the present law, a per son 65 years old who receives payments cannot earn more than $1,200 a year in njafSide income without losing udrt of his social security benefits. I introduced 1 a bill last Vcar which would in crease this limitation on outside income ya SI,BOO a year. After the bill was introduced, it was referred to the Senate Committee on Finance. It took j considerable time for the com i mittee to obtain a report from [the administration on the mea sure. It if a matter of routine procedure for the adminstrative agency involved to analyze each bill that is introduced. The administration report filed on my bill .was unfavorable. The administration took the po sition that my measure would create additional demands on the social security fund from which benefits are paid. It was reasoned that if the outside lim itation was increased, it would mean that more people would draw full social security pay ments. As a matter of literal fact this probably would be true, but I do not feel that it is any | justification to keep the propo sal from becoming law. After 'all. the payments individuals make into the social security fund were from their own earn ings and they should not be pen alized because of any outside income they may be able to make. I sincerely feel that there is an urgent need for some changes ! AUCTION J. C. DAIL HOMEPLACE Corner Oakum and Queen Streets Friday Mar. 11th 11:00 A.
