The steadl-( ly increasing number of lump-sum ! cash payments under the Social Security Act indicates that claim-1 ants are becoming a little better iu formed as to their rights. There! are still many thousands of peo ple entitled to claims, who have not yet filed, however, Stacey W. j Wade, Manager of the Raleigh Feld Office, said today. Up to November 15, 2,051 1 claims have been certified for pay-' tnent in Region IV, which com prises NORTH CAROLINA, Dls-J trlct of Columbia, Maryland, Vir-j ginia and West Virginia. ' Total claims received up to November, 15, 1937, was 2,864 and 3,134 up| to November 22, which Indicates1 that more prospective claimants are availing themselves of the privileges under the Federal old age insurance provisions of the' Social Security Act. In NORTH CAROLINA 473 claims had been certified for payment up 0o No vember 15, 1937. In the District of Columbia 173 claims had been certified for payment up to No vember 15, 1937 ;*? in Maryland, 622; in Virginia, 395; and in West Virginia, 388. The average amount of the pay ment has also increased, Mr. Wade stated. During the mon'n of Oc tober the average amount ? (.'f lump-sum payments, under the. old-age insurance provisions of | the Social Security Act was $24.04 j in this Region as compared with $18.03 in September. The average for the country as a whole wasj $26.40. The method of makng claim for these payments Is very simple, Mr. Wade said. Field Offices of the Sociar Security Board will contact prospective claimants, when it is indicated that they may be elig ible for a benefit, and explain and help the claimants to execute the necessary forms. The lump-sum payments tihat are being made now became effec tive January 1, 1937. Monthly payments do not become operative until 1942. Persons eligible for lump-sum payments are those in covered employment after 1936 who have reached the age of 65. Payments are also being made to relatives and estates of workers, who have died since January 1, 1937. ? The local Social Security Board Field Office, at Raleigh, offers every facility free of charge to aid those who have claims. MRS. CLELLIE T. BURROWS Youngsville. ?

Steering wheels of the de luxe cars are of flexible multiple steei spoke type, with hubs of rich brown bakelized material and rims of lighter contrasting color.

GRIFFIN SPEAKS TO KIWANIANS It has been the custom of the Louisburg Kiwanis Club for the past three years to award a Silver lo.ving cup to the best all-round Kiwanian for that year. The cup has the name of the Kiwanian en graved on it and is kept in his possission for the entire ensunlng year. This custom was started in t>he year of 1935 and was given to Mr. E; R. Allen for the best Kiwanian for that year. The honor was bestowed upon President Gaither M, Beam for being the best Kiwanian during the year of 1936 for which he has been the proud possessor for the year of 1937. On Tuesday evening at the reg ular weekly luncheon, a secret ballot) was cast of the members and Kiwanian Paul Elam wai elected as the best all-round mem ber for the year 1937. In view ot Mr. Elam's absence on_ Tuesday J evening the cup will be awarded at a later date. After Dr. H. G. Perry and Mr. W. C. Stroud gave a report on the eye clinic, the progran\ was turned over to Kiwanian E. F. Griffin who introduced Hon. Lloyd Griffin of Raleigh, Secretary of the State School Commission wh > addressed the members on the Topic of "North Carolina and its Assets." Hon. Grifhn traced the school situation from 1885 till now, with all its ups and downs. "From 1885 to 1907 t/he schools were financed by ad valorem tax." stated Hon. Griffin. "This tax was 66 2-3 per cent on one hundred dollars valuation. This created many private schools through the country. In 1907 a building pro gram was put on only later for people to awake to t?he fact that the indebtedness was' around a half million dollars. In 1929 the general assembly appropriated a 6% million dollar program for the school." "The state has two funds ? tha highway and general? the roads are kept up out of the former and the remaining expenses outi of the latter, including schools," he also stated. "Last year the state appropriation for schools was around twenty-four, and a half million dollars fromtwhich Frank lin County received around $190, 000 ? $33,000 for Franklinton school and remainder for county. This year t'he county will receive over $200,000." Hon. Griffin concluded his ad dress by this remark, "that the members of the Kiwanis Club not only make leaders in the,,- club and community but among tho Slate and National affairs and do not forget the schools." Wit'h 1 formal closing a most closed. luncheon was State Cottdn Brings Premium Raleigh, Dec. 1. ? Eighty-five per cent of the cotton ginned lu North Carolina to (fate is run ning 15-16 or longer in staple and as such should demand a prem ium, according to M. O. Mann, general manager of the North. Carolina Cotton Growers Coop erative Association, who strewed the importance of farmers having their cotton graded by govern ment-license classers before of fering It for sale. Mr. Mann said that premiums on cotton being handled through the Association are ranging as high as $15 a bale, and lie point ed out t>hat by marketing their cotton In such a way as to get the full grade and staple prem ium North Carolina farmers can put an additional three million dollars in their pockets. Mr. Mann reported that deliv eries to the Association are run ning well over three times as much aa they did during the cor responding period a year ago. Not only do farmers like to get their loan through an agency that wilt protect them from any comeback in case the cotton is taken over by th? Commodity Credit Cor poration, he said, adding that tha Cotton Association absolutely stands back of its grades and will protect the farmer from any ! come-back whatsoever.
