PAGE TWO u-geCTION TWO I 1 A SECURITY || ■ J QuestionCjmd.Answers George Dietrich, field representative of the Social Security Administration, is in Edenion every Thursday at the North Carolina Employment Security Commission office on' North Broad Street. ‘‘Paying social security bene fits to 17 million people involves the Government’s largest check writing operation,” Icen E. Wil son, District Manager, Green vilie Social Security Office, said today, ‘‘and we strive constantly to improve our check-writing and mailing procedures.” ‘‘But, no matter how much we improve, no matter how modern our equipment is, we still need the cooperation of the benefici ary,” he said. ‘Too often we get a phone call saying, ‘My so cial security check didn’t come today and I need it badly’.” They usually come in during the first of the month, Wilson explained. “Usually the person has changed his address and we haven’t been notified.’ ’ Mr. Wilson urged any social security beneficiary who plans to move to report his new address as soon as it is known. Chang es reported early in the month will be shown on the next check. Otherwise the check will go to Area Redevelopment Administration Editor'* Note: This is one in a series of articles about the Area Ke development Administration of the I'. 8. Department of Commerce, and its special job of helping to create jobs for people in America's econom ically depressed communities.

Many social security checks are returned every month to the Treasury Department marked "Undeliverable” or “Moved”— left no forwarding address,” Icen ,Wilson said. This happens when neither the post office nor the ! Social Security Administration has been notified of a new ad- I dress. To be sure a check is not returned, beneficiaries should I send a notice to both agencies. To change an address on a social security check, write a brief message in a letter or on a post card and show your full name, the claim number, and new address.

Va.;' from the coal towns of east Ken | tucky and southern Illinois and the cotton and tobacco towns ofi Arkansas and Mississippi to the' lumber towns of the Pacific Northwest.

In addition, its annual average rate of un employment must have been 50 percent above the national aver age in three of the preceding four years, or 75 percent above the national average in two of the preceding three years, or 100 percent above the national aver age in one of the preceding two years. But chronic economic blight is not limited to the nation's large urban centers. It is found, as well, in the very small labor markets, on Indian Reservations, and in rural America. For the small areas—the ones with a work force of less than 15,000 — the criteria are roughly compar able to those for the large ur ban centers. In the rural counties of Ameri ca, the problem often is one of underemployment: People have, jobs, but they earn barely j enough at them to keep body j and soul together. For these areas, the criteria are based on income . If the median family income in a county is $1,887 a year or less—that’s a bare one third of the national median then the county is designated. If the median farm family in j come is below $1,415 —only one fourth the national median —then the county is designated. Or | designation may be based on low-production farming or on earlier participation in the Rural Area Development Program of j the U. S. Department of Agri culture. The Area Redevelopment Ad-: ministration makes its decisions j on area designations with help i from the Department of Labor, j the Department of Interior or! the Department of Agriculture, depending on the type of area involved. When economic conditions in . an area improve to the point j where it no longer meets .the criteria, the area’s designation is • terminated. The goal of the! ARA program is to help lift the !' economies of all of these areas! 1 well above these minimal levels, 1 so that they can share with the rest of America in an expanding : economy. : Designation of an area is the!' first step toward revitalization of.■ —Si——iiliiL, i J back_t °- coile6c i ijw \( % • WARDROBE 1 j/IjQ .-* memk \ |S) I ® Lots of Variety, Mure *flL zJm m * i> * You can pick your entire back-to-college t |"T| wardrobe right here.

Revenue Stamp Marks Birthday Revenue Service First Commemorative Documentary Stamp Ever By the Government The first ccmmemorative docu mentary revenue stamp ever sued by the Federal Government was placed on sale the second of July when the Internal Revenue Service marked its one hund redth birthday. Pictured on the commemora tive stamp is a steel engraving of the Internal Revenue head quarters building in Washing ton, D. C. This building, com- i pleted in 1930, was the first in i what is now known as the Fed eral Triangle between Constitu tion and Pennsylvania Avenues. Buildings for the departments j of Justice, Labor and the Post Office were later put up along side of Internal Revenue as part of the public building program authorized by Congress in 1926. Today, the Internal Revenue building houses 3,500 men and women who are at the nerve center of our nation’s self-assess ment tax system. The commemorative stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, and print ed on Giori presses in blue and green on white paper. It was designed by Charles R. Chick ering and Victor S- McCloskey,' Jr., of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. First, second class and county seat post offices have the com memorative stamp for sale.

Adhesive back stamps were first used in 1862, the year our present-day tax organization came into being. During the Civil War period,' revenue stamps blossomed out in a rainbow of color and. design effects. Besides stamps for vari ous denominations and values, there were also special stamps ■ for specific documents and pro-1 ducts which came under the stamp tax laws. , Contributing to the variety of revenue stamps was the discount offered to manufacturers who made up their own died for rev enue stamps to be printed by J Internal Revenue.

The peak in • revenue stamp use was probably . reached in 1959 when over 20 billion stamps were used on cigarette packages. {That year, however, Congress passed a law which eliminated the stamp system on tobacco and some alcohol products. -A semi j monthly return system similar to that used to collect most excise . taxes replaced the Stamps. Last year, bottle statrps on al coholic beverages took 1.6 billion of the total 1.7 billion revenue stamps printed by the govern ment.
