A TRIBI TK TO THE MEMORY
Of WILLIAM PEKNOV
The Gold Sand community
aeemed moving in (he. usual tenor
of Its waj on the morning of
January IT. Little did its people
dream what was in store (or them,
daring the early fore-noon. Scarce
ly had the day duties begun when
it wa? learned that William Per-i
son. one of its most popular and
beloved citizens had been injured
at a saw mill on his farm, by a
falling limb. The limb striking his
bead and rendering him unconsci
ous for a while. Mr. Person had
gotten a safe distance from the
tree that t&e mill workers had
juat felled. He was of the cautious
type that would have been on the
alert for self protection and oply
a few moments before his accident
be had warned the working men
to run to safety when a tree began
to tremble. The thoughtful, watch
ful attitude that characterized his
life manifested itself -toward the
colored men in bis employ, malt
ing the last* act of his life a
thought for others. This was Wil
liam Person alwfeys. The falling
tree in some way. fell against an
other tree with such force that it
broke off a limb and threw it
back toward Mr. Person fron^the
rear, the crashing tree causing so
much noise, h? failed to hear t<he
on-coming limb, and never knew
it (truck him. Even after regain
ing consciousness, he did not re-1
call having been struck. He was
immediately taken^o a local phy
sician, who, after examinations
and observations considered it
best to remove him to a hospital.
From the Mme he entered the
hospital at Rocky Mount, the doc
tors were uneasy and doubtrul of
recovery. The efforts of skilled
physicians, influenced by a person
al friendly regard fo;- the sufferer,
seemed of no avail. His wife and
only brother. Mr M. M. Person,
remained with him the .entire
time at the hospital, so afraid
were they he might want' them,
and hoping that they , might ad
minister comfort or pleasure.
On the afternoon of January 25.
just as darkness veiled the earth
the fetters of pain were thrown
off, the penalty of t-ha- fateful ac
cident was paid. The soul of Wil
liam Person parsed jfrom this
phase of being into the next, not
to be with the unknown, but the
known God. and share the joys of
eternity that await :!ie upright
man.
The funeral services were held
from the Person home, where .Mr.
William had spent his entire life!
It was attended by one of the lar
gest crowds ever seen in the com
munity. Friends and !ove,| ones
coming from far and near to pav
this last tribut? of respect Fun
eral services were ill charge of
Rev b H. Shuyler. the resident
minister, assisted by Rev. John
?dwards, Haptist minister from
Centerville, Reverends J. T. Drap
er, L. C. Brothers. W M Towe,
former pastors. Each paid a fitting
tribute to the departed loved one
praying beautiful prayers for Di
vine Guidance and heartfelt sym
pathy for the grief stricken fam
ily.
With the large family connec
tions and having lived tiie life Mr.
Person did it was meet that this
crowd gat-hered to do honor to his
memory. There were many tear
stained faces present. ? evidencing
a personal loss and many" whose
hearts bled for the cruel sorrow
of the loved ones.
Midst a Joyous, generous sun
shine that seemed out of harmony
with the solemn occasion and mar
ked the tragic grief of the dear
ones. William Person was laid by
his parents whom he loved devot
edly, in Oak Woo<] Cemetery, Lou
isburg. Flowers .those emblems,
alike of life and death, of- "wed
ding bells and funeral knell, were
there in rich profusion, and with
their kindly beauty tended to dis
pel the funeral gloom.

QUESTIONS AM) , WSWKIIS
A BO IT ULIMliE INSIKAN?E_
QUESTION: I am emplayed in
the shipping department of a
wholesale grocery company. Two
years ago I was advised to get a
social security account card. How
ever, it was not convenient for me
to do so at the time, and I have
never obtained an account num
ber. Why do I have to have a$j?-'
cial security account number?
What gtiod will it do me? What'
will happen if I never get a social
security card?
ANSWER: Failure to obtain a |
social security account number
might mean that in your old age
you would fail to receive benefits
which otherwise you could claim
If your employer is complying
with the law, he is now deducting
one percent, wage tax from' your
pay. Your employer v pays an
additional one percent tax on your
wages; and every three months he
sends your wage tax to the Gov- ,
ernment with his own pay roll
tax. If you are paying the tax. why
not assure for yourself the bene
fits? The chances are that nearly
every one of your fellow workers
has a social security account' num
ber. When your employer makes
f
hii quarterly tax return he should
include Ihe name, account number
and amount of wages he paid
each employee (under age 65).
When that wage 'information rea
ches the Social Security Hoard, it
is entered on the "books." in
somewhat the same way that' bank
deposits are entered on bank de
positors' books. In tbe Records
Division of the Social Security
Board there are now about 35
million individual wage records
Each account bears the same num
ber that is shown on the worker's
social security card. That is how
individual wage records are iden
tified. Unless you have a social
security account number, your
wage record will not be found in
the files of the Social Security I
Board. Each one of your fellow
Workers who has a social security
account number will be credited,
year- after year, with bis own
wage earnings, and finally he will
receive old-age insurance' pay
ments that are based on his wagei
record It is not too late to secure
credit for the taxable wages you
were paid during 193" and 1938;
but first you will have to obtain
a social security acount number
Then ask your employer to furnish
the Social Security Board field of
fice with a statement of your wage
earnings since 1936. After that,
you will be given credit for all
taxable Wages paid you since 1936.
Q: I have been working in a
factory ever since the old-age in
surance law went into effect. I
understand that the wages paid
to me in the past two years have
been credited to my old-age in
surance account, which is kept for
me by tbe Social Security Board.
Is there .any way in which I can
find out the exact amount of
earnings shown on my wage re
cord?
A: Yes. All you have to do is
to ask for a statement. Any field
