GUY C. HOBBS, Mgr. “Your John Deere Deala ” EDENTQN, N. C
this announcement, Mr. John T.
Grooms, Field Representative of
the Norfolk, Virginia, Social Se
curity District Office, said this
change, one of several important
ones in the 1960 amendments, is
due to the fact that the amount
of work needed to make social
flgjpH* - v •'•

j security benefits payable to a
j worker and his family has been
: reduced by about one-third in
most cases. This applies to any
case, whether or not a claim was
1 ever filed.
In explaining how this new
rule works, Mr. Grooms empha
sized that at least six quarters
(eighteen months) of social se
curity earnings are still required
as always, and the maximum is
still 40 quarters. There is no
change in the requirement for
disability benefits. A person
must have five years’ work in
the last ten years before be
coming disabled. Mr. Grooms
illustrated how much easier it
is for persons reaching retire
ment age in 1961, for example,
I to meet the new requirement:
j under the old rules they would
have needed twenty or twenty
one quarters, but may now
qualify with thirteen quarters.
Workers who reached retirement
age or who died before 1957
need only six quarters to be in
sured. Proportionate reductions
are in effect for all cases, with
in the above limits.
Mr. Grooms invited interested
persons to secure any of the
free pamphlets at his office cov
ering these and. all other phases
of the Social Security Program,
as well as to obtain further in
formation and assistance in fil-
I ing benefit claims. The Norfolk,
I Virginia, office is located at 220
W. Brambleton Avenue, tele
phone number MAdison 7-6436,

; High School Athletes
> Continued from Page I—Section 1
> and expressed, on behalf of the
! Varsity Club, deep appreciation
; for the interest and support of
> townspeople in the school’s ath
! letic program.
’ The principal speaker for the
■ occasion was Robert L. (Jack)
! Boone, head football coach at
; East Carolina College, who was
■ introduced by Hiram Mayo.
! Mr. Boone was accompanied by
; Cecil Heath and James Speight
; of the college. Speight is eon
. sidered one of the fastest back
field football players in the his
■jtory of ECC and has recently
J signed a contract with the Bal
|timore Colts. He is presently
on leave of absence from the
U. S. Air Force to get his mas
ter’s degree. They were..intro
duced by Coach Boone and both
paid tribute to Jerry Tolley,
Bubba Hopkins, Jimmy White
and Leroy Spivey, four Eden
ton boys who have been award
ed football scholarships at the
college. “We expect great
things from these four boys,”
said Heath, “and the folks back
home will be watching with
pride how you perform.”
Speight stressed the import
ance of athletes applying them
selves to their studies which is
essential to the progress of an
athlete in college.
Mr. Boone expressed his pleas

ure at having a quartet of ■Eden
ton boys on his forthcoming
football squad. “We have four
fine 'boys from Edenton coming
with us,” he said, “and I am
counting heavily on Jerry Tol
ley, Bubba Hopkins, Jimmy
White and Leroy Spivey to de
velop into first rate football
players and being a tower of
strength to our football team.”
He spoke generally about foot
ball and what is expected of
those who play, pointing out
the various attributes and es
pecially discipline. His address
Was interspersed with short hu
morous stories to emphasize a
point he wanted to bring out.
He, ‘ too, complimented the peo
ple in Edenton for being be
hind school athletics and re
ferred to the football record
made by Coach Bill Billings.
Dr. Hardin presented certifi
cates to the boys and girls who
participated in athletics, which
went to the following:
Cheerleaders Nettie Lassiter,
Judy Israel, Linda Dail, Ida
Dampen, Marian Bunch, Barbara
Alexander, Joan Wright, Sue

and David Holton, manager.

Perry Byrum and David Holton,
managers.
Climaxing the banquet follow
ed presentation of certificates
when the most valuable players
in basketball, baseball and foot
ball were announced.
Dr. Hardin stated that mem
bers of the football team re
quested the trophy to be pre
sented to the team as a whole
instead of an individual. How
ever, Dr. Hardin stated that this
procedure would be contrary to
the by-laws of the club, so that
the honor would have to go to
an individual. Due to the star
performance of every member of
the past season’s football team,
it was extremely difficult to
choose the winner. In fact, Dr.
Hardin stated that 10 out of the
11 regular players were in the
1 running and that after several
hours of discussion the winner
was named, and went to Jerry
Tolley.
Tolley carried out the lion’s
share of honors, for he not only
received the football trophy, but
was also awarded the basket
ball trophy.
Sara Relfe Smith was the
winner in the girls’ basketball
division as the most valuable
player.
In baseball the trophy went
to Carroll Forehand. “He’s the
boy who hits home runs and

in presenting the award.
In dismissing the meeting, Dr. ]
Hardin again expressed his ap- ,

in school athletics and the hope
that the sports award banquet
would continue to be an annual
event.
