does so much for our town, we
sincerely hope you will endorse
and stand behind them.
“Edenton is a treasure house
of historic interest, and any ef
forts by the Woman's Club or
other organizations to help
beautify or restore should be
backed enthusiastically by our |
citizens if we wish to get our |
share of the tourist trade.
“We are the granddaughters
of Captain William Badham, who
recruited and fought with the
Edenton Bell Battery through
the Civil War, and we do not
consider that his memory or
those who fought with him
desecrated by the removal of
the Confederate memorial to a j
more appropriate place. 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.”

Ml REPORTS
THP* Fna.MawnU
Washington. 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 !

in the present law. and the mod
est increase in the outside income I
limitation I have proposed is
certainly a minimum require-,
ment in view of the increased
cost of living in recent years.
lAs a matter of fact, I see no
reason why there should be any j
limitation on the amount of
outside income a person receiv
ing social security benefits may .
earn.
t There are many thousands of
