eicht oi the ten divisions, of the

Clnnlng and through Jane 30,

official figures, complied by
M. R. Dunnagan, Informational
Service Representative of the ’ II.
C. Commission.
Normally, Unemployment Com-
panslon, or benefits to workers
temporarily out of jobs, is the
largest item In the program, ex
cept In agricultural counties. The
more and larger the industries
a county has, the more jobless
benefits it gets. In the 3 and one-
half years of benefit payments,
through June 30, these benefits
reached $211,740.90 included in
34,225 checks isssued to residents
of Wilkes County.

WomenAppealFor
Unity Of Purpose
Coining the phrase, the Sixth
Column, -which she characterized
as the greatest threat confronting
America today, Mrs. John L.
Whitehurst, president of the
General Federation of Women’s
Clubs, lashed out with a stinging
attack on the appalling apathy
of the Americrn people toward
the dangers confronting demo
cratic governments and institu
tions.
"Out of the war in Spain came
the term. Fifth Column, as ap
plied to spies and traitors. I
would like to coin another term,
the Sixth Column, for those who.
Innocently or otherwise, contrib
ute toward America’s greatest
enemy today, apathy,’’ said Mrs.
Whitehurst. "Sixth Columnists
include those who aid Nazi prop
aganda by listening to its ‘soften
ing up’vphrases and then asking,
Why fight?’; by fostering racial
and religious discrimination and,
through lack of interest and u -
derstanding, -widening the breacn
between capital and.labor.

Lindbergh and others who are

In these three divisions of the
Social Security -A.ct. the Federal
Government provides one-half.of
the funds and the State and count
ies one-fourth each, with a State
equalizing fund to help the small
er counties. Prior to January 1
1940, these three governmental
units furnished one-third erch for
Aid to Dependent Children.
No county figures are available
for Old Age and Survivois In
surance. Monthly payments in this
division started after January 1,
1940, due to a 1939 amendment,
after lump-sum payments for!
three year.s. This will, in due
time, become one of the most im
portant of the fi-ie major divis
ions of the Social Security Act.
With practically accurate fig
ures, it is evident. Chairman
Fletcher points out, that $490,-
692.78 was distributed in this

think that they intended to divert
our people from their allegiance
to our form of government anti
our elected leaders. But they
DID. Isolalionists should be able
to air their views -without criti

will we awaken to the fact that
in order to sell democracy we
must praise it—not criticize it,
appreciate it—not denounce it.
