PAGE SEC THE CASOUNA TIMES SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 19S7 Movant Toward Broadening Social Frontiers in U. S. Outlined For Morris Brown College Graduates ATLANTA, Ga. New frontiers of Amfrican Democracy, home «nd abro&d were defined here last, Wed- nfcjday for the Morris' Brown College graduating -class of 116 by an internationally known author and educator. Dr. Helen Edmonds, professor of history at North Carolina State College, Durham, N. C., said the United States had be come a world power long be fore many people realized or were willing to admit it. She warned the graduates against accepting “false values” and basing achievement on "whom you know or by mere associa tion.” Dr. Edmonds called attention to the “American Dream” and said men like Jefferson, Jack son and Lincoln were largely responsible for making it a liv ing reality. And, as a result, she said, it has been broadened for all the people. pr. Edmonds briefly traced the'changing philosophy of ed ucation in America, beginning with John Dewey in the 1920’s. She said, beginning with 1933, progress for the Negro began to take on a new theme. Class room techniques changed, she said. Teaching was carried on the same basis of citizenship and not on the basis of group. ORDER OF YESTERDAY “Segregation was the order of yesterday”. Dr. Edmunds said. \ DR. EDMONDS There, was a time, she said when the teaching of democra cy was meant for the classroam alone to the majority group. “In 1954, when the U. S. Su preme Court rendered its deci sion against public school seg regation, the American ideal was on trial.” Dr. £dmonds told how hate groups emerged following the Supreme Court's ruling and told how even some “liberab” had l)een coerced against compli ance with the Court’s deoree. She said no one knew any bet ter than school superintendents and educators themselves about the incohsistencies of the prac tices of these groups/ The educator criticized news- naper propaganda and the ef- (■'•ts it has had on young peo ple. During her visits in Europe, Dr. i^'idmonds said she was ques tion^ about American con cepts and practies. She said Eu ropeans wanted to know, “How can a state defy a fuling of the United States Supreme Court and why did they let the “kill ers go free.” She said 'people in Europe wanted to know why Auther- ine Lucy was treated as she was. HUMAN RELATIONS In her thesis of New Fron tiers of American Democracy, Dr. Edmonds called for a new emphasis on human relations. She said, its an old subject, but that it needs a new injection of enthusiasm. She challenged the graduates to seek careers in the area of human relations. In this whole concept of free dom, she said, “We cannot take anything forxgranted. She said thf present roadblocks would pass away. The frontiers will be • more meaningful, “when we solve the problems of roadblocks.” She told the graduates to tell the truth about America wher ever they go, and not overlook the fact that since 1933, Ne groes have made “tremendous progress.” High School Newspaper Advisers Organize New Press Association Social Security Office Head Urge Applying For Benefits More than one hundred thou sand severely disabled people in communities all over the na tion will receive their first so cial security disability insur ance checks in August, . nounced Mrs. Nina H. Mat thews, district manager of the Durham Social Security Office, last week. But many other eli gible disabled workers 30 to 65 yean of age, some o' them no doubt living in Durham Coun ty, have so far failed to make appliation to tHelr social secur ity offices. Those who have been disabled for work for a long time must apply before June 30, Mrs. Matthews pointed out, or they will lose their rights to these new benefit pay^ ments. Any severely disabled perso.o who has worked under social security for at least 5 yeurs and who has been disabled for 6 months -or -more ghnniH gpt. in touch with his social security office right away, the social se- cial security district manager said. If he is between SO and 65 years of age, he may be eligible for monthly disability insurance tjenefits. If he is under SO, he may be eligible to have his so cial security . record frozen to protect his future right to dis ability payments, and also his and his family's rights to old age and survivors insurane ben efits. “Unfortunately there is a lot misunderstanding,” Mrs. Mat thews said, “as to how disabled a worker has to be to get so cial security disability insur ance benefits or to have his so cial security record frozen. The rules in the soial security law for deciding whether u person is 'disabled' are different from the rules in some other Govern ment ^d private disability pro grams.” To be found “disabled” under the social security law, she said, a worker must have a disability which, in the words of the law, makes him unable “to engage in any substantial gainful activity.” It must be the kind of physical or mental con dition which shows up in the medical evidence, including his doctor’s report, hospital reports, or special tesU, and it mujt have lasted for at least 6 months and be expected to con tinue for a long and indefinite time. In general, she said, “sub stantial gainful activity” means the performance of a substan tial amount of work with rea sonable regularity in employ ment or self-employment. A person does not have to be com pletely helpless to qualify un der the social security disabili ty provisions, Mrs. Matthews emphasized. Consideration is given to all of the facts in the Individual's situation, both medical and non-medical. First consideration is, of course, given to the severity of his condition as shown by the medical evidence. This evidence must show that the person has a condition which makes him unable to perform significant functions such as moving about, handling objects, hearing, speaking , understanding, or reasoning, so that he cannot TWENTY FIVE YEARS in the pastorate of the A.
