Recently the newspapers car
ried a photo of President Ken
nedy’s office, a striking feature j
being a closeup view of his!
desk, which was geometrically j
precise and neat. The next
morning when I walked into The
Herald office, ye editor’s desk
had also been policed to presi
dential standards. On the sur
face, that is a simple statement,
but 'when -you realize that ye
editor's desk has been kept in a
state of organized confusion, the;
Cleanup must have had its im-!
ipetus in some mighty upheaval
of industry. , Ye editor said thej
cleanup was the result of a
search for something he just had
to find. Now, if you ask me,
there is only one emergency that I
would cause all that energy on!
KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY 1
I.ihn T. Grooms, representative of the Social Security
Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday at the North
Carolina Employment Security Commission office in the
Citisens Bank Buiidng. i
Under the old law, which;
stays in effect until 1961, a
beneficiary under age 72 w,ho ;
goes to work and earns more
than SI2OO loses one month’s
benefit check for every SBO (or,
fraction of $80) by which his|
earnings go over SI2OO. Earn-'
ings of even $1 over the SI2OO
limit mean the withholding of
the beneficiary’s entire monthly
check. If his wife is also en
titled to benefits based on his
social security account, her
benefit is also withheld.
Beginning with 1961, a bene
ficiary who earns SI2OO or less:
will get his benefit payments for.
all 12 months of the year. A
beneficiary who earns more)
than SI2OO in a year will have
$1 of his benefits withheld for

his part—he must have been i
looking for some lost treasured j
fishing tackle. Shucks! One of
my illusions has been shattered
—I thought ye editor was trying
to emulate the President of the
United States.
P. S. Since writing the above
1 have learned that ye editor
was searching for some valuable
papers. It’s an ill wind that
doesn’t blow some good; the
misplaced papers at least occas
ioned a much-needed desk clean
ing.
MORE MONKEY BUSINESS:
Ham, the chimp who recently
made the trip into space, while
being interviewed by reporters
at a news conference, balked
; each $2 that he earns from SI2OO
up to SISOO. For every $1 that
! his earnings go above SISOO, $1
of benefits will be withheld.
Under the old law, many
beneficiaries received more in
1 total income (earnings plus
j benefits) if they limited their
| earnings to SI2OO a year. Un
| der the new law, this will no
longer be true. A beneficiary
| who earns over SI2OO in a year
will always receive more in I
combined earnings and benefits
than if he had earned SI2OO or
less.
Also many eligible people who
| have not applied for their bene
i fits because their earnings
amount to over S2OBO (and ordi
narily could not draw any
checks) many now find it to
11 strenuously at being placed back
1 ' into the capsule in which he
' made his historic flight. “Once
is enough,” said Ham, in chim
panese. (And I quote) “And I
; mean enough!”
I have a bone to pick with
! Senor Castro which is acutely
' personal. A certain brand of
1 cigar I smoke recently became
; hard to get. The dealers from
; whom I bought my cigars were
• several days without them.
Someone told me these cigars
I were Cuban made, and if so,

their advantage to apply. For
example, under the new law,
a couple entitled to a monthly
family check of SIBO, the maxi
mum now payable to a retired
worker and dependent wife,
would now get some benefits if
the husband earns less than
$3510 in a year.
There is no change in the pro- j
vision which states that regard- j
less of how much a beneficiary!
earns in a year, he will get a I
benefit check for any month in
which he neither earns more
than SIOO in wages nor renders
substantial services in self-em
ployment.

Largest Honey Crop
In State Since 1952
Honey production during 1960
amounted to 5,022.000 pounds.
This is 35 percent above the
3,724,000 pounds produced in
1959, and is the largest honey
crop since 1952. The 1960 sea
son was generally favorable for
honey production.
The increased production over
1959 came from 5.1 percent few

compared with 196,000 colonies
for 1959. Production per colony
in 1960 was 27 pounds, 8 pounds

HIGHER TURKEY CROP
North Carolina turkey .grow
ers intend to produce 2,321,000
turkeys in 1961.
If growers carry out their

light breed production about 50
percent, for a net increase of
36 percent over 1960 for all
