Precautions Necessary With several thousand men at work on ^orth Carolina highways this fall, the iBighway Safety Division this week called 4he attention of all Tar Heel motorists to some of the dangers incident to highway construction and maintenance jobs. The repairing of highways damaged by the recent floods, together with the nor mal construction and maintenance activi- will result in an unusual volume of work on State highways this fall, Hocutt said, and this will mean that motorists will need to be more alert than usual. In the first place, all this highway work will necessitate thousands of men being at work daily on the same highways over which hundreds of thousands of motor ve hicles will be operating. And unless mo torists employ courtesy, caution and com mon sense and slow down when they see a flagman or a “Men Working” sign, some of these highway workers may be killed or injured, the safety director stated. But highway construction and main tenance work does not present hazards to the workmen alone, he pointed out, for there are certain dangers incident to this Work which will confront the motorist. Drivers on the road at night should be alert for warning signs and flares mark ing the approach of temporary wooden bridges where new bridges are under con struction or old ones are being widened. A driver who is going too fast and is not watching the roadway closely could easily smash into a barricade at such a point and have a serious smash-up. “The state does all it can by putting up warning signs and setting out flares for the protection not only of its workmen but also of the traveling public,” said Director Hocutt. “It is squarely up to the motorists of this state to heed these warning de vices.” Borrowed Commeni FREEDOM ... IN THE FALL (By Susan Thayer) It’s fall again. Golden rod in the fence comers ... a thinner kind of sunlight through long, still afternoons . . . and to- ards evening 'the sound of boys' voices drifting in from vaca t lots where they’re practicing football. From Maine to California; from the Can adian border to the Rio Grande, football is the order of the day as it always is this time of year. There are big games in great university bowls which the whole country attends by radio . . . little games between rival high school teams of the ut most importance to the students them selves . . . and for every official college or high school game a dozen “pick-up games” in back yards, pastures, vacant lots, some times even on busy city streets! We take it for granted that American boys have the privilege of playing football when, and pretty much, where they please. It’s one of our rights,—a small thing, to be sure, but characteristic of the American way of life and the Freedom bred in us and heretofore accepted without question. But today Freedom everywhere is being questioned. For the first time in our lives we are having to consider what this preci ous heritage of ours, handed down to us from freedom-loving ancestry, means in terms of our everyday life. We find it has many means familiar to all of us: —small things, such as the right to play football in a vacant lot simply as a pastime. —large things, such as the right of the individual worker to belong or not belong to a trade union. —personal things, such as the right of citizens to join organizations of any kind they wish—so long as they are not aimed at destroying our precious Constitution. —vital things, such as the right to free speech and a free press. And beyond these—^the right to home life within the State; the right to spiritual belief and the freedom to exercise it in (Mfice Smial Security ja Pin irhlcii’an elderly mil! worWIOnt -neynents er len'ne iron the manager of the Md ottioe of ttie Social Se curity Board that be now mnei have eereh^ calendar quarten of coverage' in order to claim pay ment of (dd-age Ineurance:'' “I understand that some^ks are getting their old'-age insur ance pairmeats from the Goyern- tnent, so t thon^^t X better cone up and find ont how I atand.” •‘■Where do yon work?" »- *'il am working in the rolling mill.

But 1 want to go back to my farm. I am nearly 66 now, and if I can get old-age insurance benefits I can afford to quit thla night work. "Before you give up that job let’s make sure that you have 7 quarters of coverage, otherwise you will not be entitled to bene fits" "■What do you mean by cover age? I worked most of the time for years and years. If anybody’s entitled to a little rest, I certain ly am." “Yea, but you were not covered by the Social Security Act while you were working on your farm. You remember that back In 1937 and 1938 your friends who work ed In factories or shops or mills or stores each had a social secur ity card; and a small amount was taken out of their wages every payday for the Government wage tax. You paid no wage tax dur ing 1937 and 1938.” “That’s right, and I never had social security card until last year. I paid wage taxes for the past 18 months and, I understand that my employer also paid the same amount on my wages that I paid.’’ “So, from the first day of Jan uary 1939 you have been covered by old-age and survivors Insur ance provisions.’’ That’s a year and six months.” Now about the calendar quar ters of coverage.” By a quarter of coverage, we mean a three months’ period which begins January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1.’’ “That would be four calendar quarters In each year, wouldn’t it?’’ “Yes. Therefore, you have six quarters of coverage—four In 1939 and two in 1940.” “J am still a little confused a- bout this coverage business. I wish you would tell me more a- bout It.” "A quarter of coverage, accord ing to the law, means any calen dar quarter in which you are paid wages of 350 or more.” Fifty dollars per week, or month, or what?” “Not less than 350 during the whole three months’ period.” ‘I always earn more than that.’’ "Fine. That means that you al ready have six quarters of cover age under the law. However, you need one more.

March 11, 1938, Hitler took possession of Austria. “This (the Sudetenland) is the laslgter- ritorial demand I have to make in Europe ... I further assured him (Chamberlain) and I repeat here that if this problem is solved there will be no further territorial problems in Europe for Germany ... I give him the guarantee: We do not want any Czechs.”—Hitler to the world in the Berlin Sportspalast, September i6, 1938. March 15, 1939, Hitler entered Prague, signalizing the end of Czecho-Slovakia. “We (Germany and Poland) succeeded in arriving at an agreement which for the duration of 10 years basically removes the danger of any clash ... We are two peo ples. They shall live. One cannot anni hilate the other.”—Hitler to the world in the Berlin Sportspalast, Sept. 29, 1938. Septsmber 1, 1939, Poland was Invaded, Warsaw was blasted from the face of the earth, and the country was wiped off the map. “The German Reich and the kingdom of Denmark 'will under no circumstances resort to war or any other form of violence against each other.—Article 1 of peace pact signed in Berlin, I^ay 31, 1939.

RUSSIA DROPS THE CURTAIN (Thomasville Tribune) From Britain and from Germany, America learn only what the govern ments of those countries want us to learn. In spite of every effort by American news and picture agencies, we learn only what authority permits us to learn. Not so well known is the fact that cen sorship has dropped an equally tight cur tain across the whole of Russia, from the Baltic to the Pacific. Russia has always had a censorship, but under Litvinoff it was quite liberal. In January, 1940, Molo- toff dropped the veil, according to G. E. R. Gedye, New York Times correspondent, ' who was so disguntled by the conditions j imposed that he closed the Times Bureau and left. Americans, striving to underst.*ind their relationships with the rest of the world, are handicapped by the fact that basic facts on which those relationships must be based are nearly all censored at the source. The fight to learn the truth is as grim as any of the battles that now con vulse the world. Periiaps conscription is needed because so many young men ere too modest to make a show-off of their patriotten .„by (January 1, 1937) and the time that he retired from covered em ployment. In your case, fourteen quarters elapsed after January 1, 1937, and before you were 65 years old. So you must have 7 quarters of coverage before you are entitled to monthly payments of old-age Insurance.” “Well, I am going to hold on to my job as long as I can and 1 shall certainly keep it a few weeks longer until I get another quarter of coverage.” “Then if you retire you can be sure that you will receive a monthly payment of old-age in surance every month for the rest of your life.” “What ab)Out my farm? If I make money farming will I have to give up the old-age insurance benefit?’’ “Certainly not. Payments of old-age inaurance come to you as a matter of right, just as any other Insurance would be .paid. It makes no difference how, much property you have, If you are en titled to monthly benefits under the old-age insurance system, the Government will send you a check every month.’’ “Suppose I go back to work In thb mill, what then?” . I “You should work a short time every month in the mill If you see fit. As long as you earn less than 315 per month Iq a job that comes under the law the Govern ment considers that you are not working in covered eniiilo;ineiit. And pour monthly benefits will be .paid.

Legion Spurns Strict Policy Of Neutrality Boston.—In a series of tumul tuous scenes, the American Le gion yesterday shouted a con demnation of “aggressor nations” and voted against a .policy of str’et IT. S. neutrality before clos ing lts(22nd convention with the election of Mllo J. Warner of Toledo, Ohio, as Its new national commander. At the end of a four-day ses sion, marked by harmony, the legionnaires broke into noisy dis agreement over a resolution which would have reaffirmed the organization’s 16-year-old posi tion In favor of a “hands ofP’ policy toward foreign disputes. Proponents shouted that this country “was not ready for In volvement and we should not abandon our historic policy of keeping our powder dry and our mouths shut.” A spokesman for the opposi tion, Department Commander Al fred Kelly of Oregon, replied: “The people of America want courage from the American Le gion, not appieasement. . . . Ap peasement will lead us to war.” The resolution was roared down on « voice vote, 'with opponents among the 1,451 delegates all but drowning out those in favor.
