KNOW YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
John T. Grooms, representative Os tho Social SteittUr
Auministraiion. is in Edenton every Thutsday at file North
Carolina Employment Security Commission otfice la the
Cixiaens Bank BuiicLng.
If you had purchased an item
on a lay-awav plan, paying in
cash every week, how long
would you wait before demand- j
ing a receipt? A month? A 1
year? Three years?
Many people might wait a
month, or several months. Few
would wait as long as a year.
Yet many workers contribute to
the Federal old-age, survivors,
and disability insurance system,
popularly called social security,
over their entire working life
time, without ever checking to
see that they were receiving
credit for their earnings. Re
member, it is the record of your!
earnings in work covered by so
cial security which will deter
mine the amount of benefits youj
can receive after retirement or
if you become disabled, and the
amount payable to your depend
ents if you should die.
While we Who administer the
government’s social insurance
program consider this faith in
the accuracy of our procedures
a great compliment, we some
times wish that people would,
check up on us more frequent
ly. Our mechanical and elec
tronic record-keeping equipment!
is the most acurate that mod rn
technology' has been able to de
vise, but the data fed to the re
cording equipment must be first
prepared by people, and human
beings are fallible.
Social security benefits are not
gifts, but are paid as a matter
of right based on your earningS|
under social security and thys'
on the tax contributions you and
your employers 'have made. E'i-'
gibility for benefits and the
amount payable to you and your
family are determined by the
wages and self employment
earnings credited to your inti-,
vidual social security account.
The accuracy of your account is'
of vital concern to you and your;
dependents; for most people so
cial security is one of their ma
jor financial assets.
You can easily make sure th >t
ypur social security account is
complete and accurate. Your ac
count is kept by both name and
number. If your name is spell
ed properly, your social security
account number accurately shown
and the amount of your earn
ings correctly recorded on all
tax returns Which your employ
er prepares (or on the income
tax return you prepare, if you
are self-employed in your own
trade or business), you can or
dinarily assume that you vvi’l
receive full credit for all your
earnings. You can check all
three of the essential items —
name, account number, and
amount of wages—by looking
at the stub of your cay check.

if your employer supplies one,
or at the Treasury Form W-2
which you use to prepare your
income tax return at the end of
the year.
In addition, however, it is rec
ommended that you check the
status of your social security
account every three years. A
simple postal card form for this
purpose can be obtained from
any Social Security Administra
tion district office. If there is
no office near you, the post of
fice or State Employment Office
can tell you where it is located.
It is especially important that
you assure yourself that your
account is accurate if your work
is of a type which ardinarily in
volves short periods of employ
ment for many different em
ployers. Construction workers,
domestic workers, and transient
farm workers should be particu
larly aware of the fact that an
inaccurate social security rec
ord could be very costly to the
worker and his dependents.
If you are self-employed, you
report your own earnings for so
cial security purposes when you
submit your Federal income tax
ratlurn. If you work as an
employee, your employer is re
sponsible for reporting your
wages and paying the taxes
which he deducted from your!
earnings and his own part of the
social security tax. Sometimes,
however, because of inadequate
knowledge of the law, book
keeping errors, or even such a
simple thing as a timekeeper’s
illegible handwriting, the earn
ings which should build up your
social security account are not
recorded to your credit.
For this reason, we strongly
advise that you use the above
suggestions to make sure that
you receive credit for all earn
ings which should be shown on
your social security records.
The percentage of error found
by checking in the suggested
way is very small, but in those
cases where inaccuiate records
go uncorrected, it can cause a
decrease in retirement, disabili
ty, or survivors benefits which
would otherwise have been pay
able, or even result in the com
plete loss of your insurance pro
tection if you should die, retire
after reaching age 65 (age 62
for women), or become unem
ployable because of a disability
before reaching retirement age.

i Aces And Acelets
i Win Over Hertford
( » r bill GOODWIN
| The Edenton Aces, mad over
I a 75-31 stomping at the hands
of Williamston Friday night, ran
the Perquimans Indians off the
court in Hertford Monday night
in rolling to a 60-32 Albemarle
Conference victory.
The Acelets won their sixth
conference game against three
defeats in the preliminary, by
a score of 53-46.-
The Edenton teams have one
more regular season game left,
with Scotland Neck on the local
court Friday night. They then
will be hosts to the Albemarle
Conference Tournament next
week.
With Herbert Adams hitting
from the outside, Wayne Griffin
rebounding and scoring from in
side, and a fearsome fast-bread
duo of Jerry Tolley and Bobby
Stokely, the Aces rang up a 36-8
half time lead over the out
manned Indians. A shifting zone
defense was partly responsible
for Perfuimans’ low score dnring
the first half. The Edenton re
serves played most of the sec
ond half.
Stokely led the balanced at
tack that saw four of the Aces
starters score in double figures.
He had 13, Griffin 12, Adams
11, Tolley 10, and Fred Britton,
the other starter, had two.
Among the reserves, Richard
Hollowell scored four, and Jim
my Dail, Carroll Forehand, Mac
Wright and Bill Goodwin, two
eacn. Franklin McGoogan led
the Indians with eight.
The Acelets jumped into an
early lead and were never
headed throughout their game,
although Perquimans got to
within a point just before and
just after the half.
Beverly Morgan led the Eden
ton scoring with 20 points while
Sana Relfe Smith had 17 and
Mary Anne Overton 16. Mary
Phthisic paced the Squaws with
20 points.
Aces-Acelets Divide
With Williamston
By BILL GOODWIN
The Edenton Acelets, spiark-!
ed by 25 points from Mary Anne;
Overton, defeated the William-j
ston Green Wave 54-39 in Wil-,
liamston Friday night.
The Aces fell before one of 1
the hottest shooting perform
ances ever thrown at the local j
club in the night-cap, 75-31.
The Acelets fell behind at the
start of their .game 6-0 before
'.they could ring a basket, and it
I looked as though they were in
for a rout. An excellent defen-!
sive job by Ida Campen, Mary
Ann Hare, Nettie Lassiter and
Phyllis Twiddy did the trick,
however, as the Acelets caught
up at the half and went on to
win.
Overton tossed in 12 of her
points in' the fourth quarter that
saw the Acelets ring up 17 tal
lies to Williamston’s three. Bev
erly Morgan and Safa ‘Relfe
Smith were behind Overton in
the Edenton scoring with 14 and
’l3 points, respectively. Sue
Bunch had two.
Mary Rogers, who threw in
36 pointers against 'the Acelets
i in the earlier engagement of the
I two clubs, was held to 16 for
j Williamston. She was high
! scorer for her team.
The Aces stayed in the game
! with tlie Green Wave boys for
about six minutes, but then the
taller foes turned on a blister
ing attack that .gave them a 32-
15 lead at the half,-
The shooting kept up through
*’ e third quarter, and the Aces
could not find the basket. Wil
liamston out-scored the Aces 24-
p in that period. Coach Bill
Billings let his reserve* play
most of the second half when
he saw the cause was lost. The
Greenies, though, left their first
linit iq until the score Was 71-
26 and got full revenge for tne
34-0 football defeat administered
by the Aces in the fail.
Fred Britton led the Aces’
scoring with 12 points. Jerry
Tolley had 7, Bill Goodwin 6,
Jimmy Dail and Roland Tolley
two each and Carroll Forehand
and Wayne' Griffin one apiece.
Billy Wynn led Williamston with
20 points.
