KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
John T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security
Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the Noilh
Carolina Employment Security Commission office in the
Cmiens Bank Buildng.
That old saying “Nothing is
so certain as change” can have
a great deal of meaning for you
as it did for John Carter. John
had just celebrated his 38th
birthday and he felt he had a
lot to be thankful for: a lovely
wife, two healthy, teen-aged
youngsters and a good job. Life
for him was progressing on an
even keel until eight months
ago when he was severely in
jured in a hit and run accident.
From then on it was one un
pleasant change after another.
He was hospitalized for a long
period and when he finally re
turned home the doctor told him
he would not be able to work
again. Although he received a
disability pension from his em
ployer, he found that all of his
needs were not being met.
Then John learned over the
radio of another kind of change.
The commentator said that so
cial security now pays disability
insurance benefits to qualified
parsons who become severely
disabled before age 65, and he
urged disabled people to seek
information from their local so
cial security office. Until a re
cent change in the social security
law, these payments could be
made only to disabled workers
aged 50 to 65.
John’s wife called the social
Security office and mentioned
that he was unable to visit at
the office. His application was
taken by a representative of the
social security office who came
to their home. John and his
family are now receiving $254 a
month in social security disabili
ty benefits.
“Mr. John Grooms. Field Rep
resentative of the Norfolk Social
Security Office, points out that

the story of John Carter il
lustrates the family protection
which social security provides (
when the breadwinner becomes
disabled for any substantial gain- I
ful activity.
To qualify for these payments,'
he said, a person must have a
disability so severe that it will
last indefinitely and one which
will probably not improve with
time or medical treatment. The
disability must have lasted for
6 months or more before pay
ments can start. Mr. Grooms
emphasized that one of the re-1
quirements for disability bene-,
fits is that the person have
worked under social security for]
five years out of the ten years ]
before he became disabled.
“If you or anyone in your,
family become disabled,” Mr. |
Grooms said, “be sure to contact |
i your social security office to see
i if you are eligible for disability
benefits.” He added that book
| lets on the recent changes in the
! social security law, including the
change permitting payments to!
disabled workers under 50 years;
of age, are available, free ofj
I charge, at all social security dis-:
j trict offices. The social security j
district office in Norfolk is 10-;

Wherever he has gone, life has j

been kindled to a new awaken- j

meet God in the face of Jesus
Christ, he wins our minds, bends
our knees and feeds our hearts.
In some of the most farflung
places on earth, where the plight
of people is particularly deplor
able, are to be found men of su
perior natural gifts, excellent
education and kindly of spirit,
i expending themselves for human

selves in loving service for peo
ple the world has apparently
forgotten, and they will tell you |
of Jesus Christ. Wherever,
Christ has gone, true brother- j
hood has uplifted and ennobled]
; life.
Jesus is the greatest of gifts'
because he best reveals \trhat 1
God is and what man ought to I
be. In Jesus we meet God face |
to face and heart to heart. In
! Jesus we see not only what we
| are. but what we are meant to
he. We look upon the purpose'
for our being, the goal of our |
living. But we dare not stop!
here. Christianity is not an ad- 1
miration society. It is a fellow
ship of dedicated hearts. To be
given a gift like this entails no I
less an obligation than the obe
dience of a loving heart.
| Many have admired Jesus
Christ. From the records avail
able to us in our Bible, it is ap
| parent that Pilate admired him,,
I perhaps more than any other,
j person he had met. But there j
| Pilate stopped, and as a conse- j
! quence Jesus was sent to a cross
| and Pilate is forever remember- ]
ed as Pilate. No, admiration is
not enough.
It is well on Christmas Sun-
day for us to hail the excellence
of Christ, the greatest of gifts,
i But for such a Gift it is unde
| niablc that only one response is
j right and that response is the
; dedication of our life to him and
i in his service.
1 We should work to do the
i good he inspires in us. God’s
' great gift to us requires not just
a passive observation, but ar. ac
tive participation in the Chris
tian way of living. For in Jesus
Christ is the essense of life it
self.
Our hearts are made for him,
| intended to be his throne. Un- ]
I til such time as we are firm withj
| ourselves, until at last we turn
jfrom the superficial worship ot
self, and give ourselves to him,
Iwe are indeed but empty ves
■ sels. In doing this, what we :
j lose is better lost. What we
| gain is life abundant—everything
that makes Christmas a shining
' gladness and our life a thing of
'meaning and purpose.
O God, take now our hearts
I and make them your Throne.
