SOCIAL SECURITY IN ACTION
In order to better acquaint
tiie people of this area with the
disability provisions of the So
cial Security Act, Albert L*.
Gray has given the Social Se
curity Administration permission 1
to use his story in any way that
it sees fit.
This story is based on personal
interviews with Mr. Gray by
John T. Grooms, field represen
tative with the Social Security
Administration, Norfolk, Va.
All Social Security records |
are highly confidential and can-'
not be released or publicized
without the consent of the ap
plicant. Mr. Gray said that his j
disability payments /had meant
a great deal to him and that
„he would be only too happy to >
share his story if it would help
some other disabled person be-,
come aware of his rights under j
the Social Security program.
Mr. Gray was employed by
the Edenton Cotton Mills as a
bobbin hauler from February,
1950, through June, 1959. At
that time he had to quit his job;
because of high blood pressure j
and the accompanying dangers
of working around machinery
while suffering from an impair
ment of this nature.
In August 1959, Mr. Gray was
able to get a light job with the
Diagnostic Lab at Edenton. This,
job consisted of helping the
veterinarian cut and examine
hogs and also performing vari- j
ous maintenance duties at the

lab.
On the evening of April 2,
1960, after returning home from
a regular day of work at the
lab, Mr. Gray suffered a para
lytic stroke and has been unable
to work since that time. He
has, however, made considerable
progress in the past year. The
stroke paralyzed his left side,
and he was confined to his bed
or wheelchair for about nine
months. Now, after a great deal
of effort on his part, he is able
to do a limited amount of walk
ing with the help of a leg brace
and a cane. Mr. Gray knows
only too well the value of the
brace and cane, but these would
be useless without the excellent
medical attention which he has
received in Edenton, the constant
care and encouragement which
he has received from his wife,
family and friends and, most im
portant of all, his own deter
mination to walk again and to
as possible.
This is not the story of a man
who is to be pitied. It is the
story of a man who paid a part
of his earnings into the Social
Security Trust Fund during his
working days and, upon becom
ing disabled, earned the right
to receive disability payments.

cowardice. Parents can give
their children something truly
beyond the price of rubies; they
can set them such an example,
in daily family living, of a pure
and Christian life, that the mem
ory of it will stay with the
youngsters for the rest of their
lives, guiding them in times of
doubt and fear and temptation.
Another guard at the ramparts
of our hearts is alertness to the
nature of sin. Evil is decep
tive. It comes in so many guis
es —even that of virtue. The
only opening that sin needs for
success is flirtation. To guard
our hearts, we must be alert
to the deceptive nature of sin.
That “sociable” drink, that cas
ually-lit cigarette, because “ev
erybody’s doing it,” that witty
remark (at somebody else’ - ex
pense) that brings forth a laugh
—all go under the guise of vir
tue —and can so easily become
a habit.
And, most important, to guard
the heart, we must also keep it
j pointed toward the highest. We
become what we think, love, and
worship. Each of us is, iri a
profound sense, the architect of
his own destiny, the captain of
his soul. This goal is, of course,
one reason for attending church
regularly. A service of worsitip
helps to point our thoughts, af
fections, and worship toward the
ultimate in truth, goodness,
beauty and love everything
tnat is represented in God as

■Through the habit of regular
and devout church attendance
each of us may keep his heart

Thus we station a guard for the
heart-
But we need hot wait for
Sunday to worship and thank
our Lord, and to draw the quiet
inner strength that we need for
this daily battle of ours, that we
call living. An ancient and
beautiful institution is the fami
ly altar. Out of the twenty--
TOTF hoars —that —fiforf- -fivn ’•?>«
to dispose of as we may, surely
we can spare ten minutes each
day to worship Him? The fami
ly altar is a time for hallowed
moments that prompt us to re
member how much we belong to
God as well as to each other; it
is a time for us to remember
that we have a soul as well as a
body. It is an open Bible wisely
read, reverently heard, earnest
ly heeded. Through the auspices
of the family altar, God is giv
en a special welcome every day,
as the family’s most honored
Guest. Our destinies are truly
determined by our response to
the charge contained in our
Memory Selection for today.

Movie Notes: It took three
years and 113,760 frames of fin
ished film to produce Disney’s
“101 Dalmatians.” By the way,
if you forgot to count, there
was an actual total of 7,000,000
black spots on the animated
hounds. Actress Terry Moore is
a licensed pilot. Most of the
movie, “Sundowners,” was film
ed in Nimmitabdl, an Australian
town of 700. One of the film
ing problems in Fabian’s “Hound
Dog Man,” occurred when 8-
year-old Dennis Holmes is sup
posed to be fishing and pulls
in a big one. To make sure
! he did pull it in, a fat trout
was placed on the end of hi.,
line. Cameras rolled, the scene
was being shot and young
Holmes pulled in his line, but
j the previously attached fish
I still made his get-away. Glenn
j Ford was reduced in rank for
his role in ‘lCry for Happy.” He
j portrays an enlisted man in the
navy. Prior to that role he’d
i been an officer in “Teahouse of
the August Moon,” and in “Don’t

Other Notes: The New York
Times has a section devoted to
North Carolina in their Sunday
international edition. This is
the Centennial* - Year for the
Civil War and it’s also the year
of the trial of Adolf Eichmann.
These facts led historians to
come up with some facts about
Civil War contributions by the
Jews. There was Dr. Isadora
Zachaire, a foot specialist, Who
treated "President Lincoln and
many members of the Union
'Army The South had the na
tion’s outstanding” Jew. He war
Judah P. Benjamin, a U. S. Sen
ator from Louisiana who was al
so attorney general, secretary of
war and finally secretary of
sta(e for the Confederacy. After
the-war he escaped to England
and became a Queen’s counsel.
Finally,. there was the President
of B’Nai B’rith who went into
hiding following the Civil War.
He had the misfortune to look
exactly like John Wilkes Booth.
In case you missed these adver
tisements here is a repeat. One
is from Business Week maga
gine and is an advertisement for
the American Electric Power
Company for their book entitled:
“Business Equivalent to the Re
duction in Federal Income Tax
es Resulting from Accelerated
Amortization and Liberalized
Depreciation, Which is Recorded
as Earned Surplus Restricted for
Future Federal Income Taxes in
Accounts Maintained Pursuant
to State Regulatory Require
ments.” Seems like the title
might be longer than the book.

ed in New Yorker magazine. It

Closing Thought: Freedom is
not worth having if it does not
connote freedom to err.
