John T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security
Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the' Korin

Citizens Bank Buildng.
When Bob Williams applied
for his old age benefits in De
cember 1957, he also asked
about benefits for his thirteen
year-old adopted son, George,
was an orphan. Bob had sup
ported him for several years,
and had adopted him the year
before.
Bob was told at the social se
curity office that the law re
quired the adoption to be in ef
fect three years before benefits
could be payable for George.
Since he had adopted George
only one year before, Bob un-:
Ujerstood that there would be no
, (payments for another two years.
’ One day about a year later, j
Bob read in a newspaper that
there had been changes in the
social security law, and that
some of these changes concern
ed adopted children. Bob visit
ed his social security office. He
was told that, as of September
1958, an adopted child no longer
had to wait three years to re
ceive benefits, but could get them
right away. He quickly filed an
application for George, submit
ted his birth certificate and
adoption papers, and pretty-soon
payments started to come

Some years ago, in England,
i at a drawing room function, one
"V of that nation’s greatest actors
\ was present and was asked to
recite for the pleasure of hisi
fellow guests. He consented, and
asked if there were any special
requests- *rom-the -audience, Wv*L«. J
After a moment’s pause, an eld
erly minister present spoke up:
“Would you, sir, recite to u*
the twenty-third Psalm?”
A strange look passed over the I
actor’s face; he hesitated a mo-1
ment, and then answered, “I
will on one condition; and that I
is, after I have recited it, you,
my friend, will do the same.”
“I?” said the minister in sur
prise. “I am not an elocutionist.
However, if you wish it I will

from one of the 1958 changes
affecting adopted children. An
other change provides that a
child adopted by a person receiv
ing disability payments may also
qualify for benefits right after
adoption, instead of having to
wait three years.
Still another change applies to
a child who was living with a
working person and was being
supported by him, although the
child had not yet been adapted.
If the wage earner dies, ,ahd the
widow adopts the child within*
j two years of her husba,hd*s
death, benefits may be paid to
the child and also to die tyidow
[as long as she has this minor
child in her care. If the wage

Impressively, the great actor
began the psalm. His voice and
intonation were letter perfect.
He held his audience spellbound,
and when he finished, a great
wave of applause rewarded his
effort.

said, “Now it is your turn.” He

heart he poured out the ever

He leadeth me beside the still
waters.
He restorfeth my soul:

Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of
death,
I win fear no evil: for Thou art
with me.
Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine
enemies;
Thou anointest my head with, oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the cteys of

And I will dwell in the House

When he finished, no sound
of applause broke the silence—
but there was hot a dry eye
ip the room, and many heads
were bowed.
Then the actor rose to his
feet again. His voice shook as
he laid his hand upon the shoul

said: “I fetched your eyes and

St this: I know the Shepherd

28,000 heard Fred W. Franz,

He Is Not Dead

That he is dead. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave
of the band,
He has wandered into an un

And left us dreaming how very

For an old-time step, and the

He is not dead—he is just away.
