Odd But TRUE —By O. Max. Gardner, Jr.-1 Boston is one of the chief school extbook producing centers in the world. Here are printed all kinds, of schoolbooks, for use all over the j world. Some of these school books make the selling of a popular book look like a mouse beside an ele phant. The books are not handled by the dozen, but by carloads of about forty thousand pounds each. The St. Louis Browns is the only big league team that has never won a pennant. Here in North Carolina there is a law, still on the law books, that twin beds must be at least two feet apart. The United States sold the wreckage of the great dirigible, the Macon, for one hundred and fifty dollars. The cost of the Macon was two million and fifty thousand dol lars. One half pound box of candy con tains as much calories as forty four big dishpans of spinach. The first prize ever offered in the Greek Olympics was an Olive ' Branch. This was a great honor and exempted the owner from pay ing public taxes for life. The best state road in North Carolina was made of planks. This plank road connected Fayetteville with Salisbury.

PUBLIC PAYS FOR ALL ACCIDENTS Death Claims Passed Back On The Motorists The prevention of automobile ac cidents has become a major public problem within recent years, but it is more than that, it is a prob lem that faces the individual auto mobile operator. His safety as well as that of the general public is in volved, and by hts on carefulness or amelioration or the growth of the accident menace, as the case may be. As J. L. Buttle, Jr., of the insur ance department of the Union Trust company pointed out in a recent in terview, it Is not so much the auto mobile Insurance companies that are effected by the rising trend ol automobile accidents as it la the individual motorist. In the final analysis it is not the insurance companies that must foot the bill but the motorist. Insurance rates are based on accident experience, and if accident frequency and sever ity rise to a point where Insurance premiums are no longer sufficient to meet claims and assure a reas onable margin of profit, rates must be increased until they are ade quate. inus, in me eira me mow 1st pays the cost of accidents in higher insurance premiums. Of greater consequence than the economic loss Involved, added Mr Suttle is the appalling loss of life and crippling of human beings. An average of 596 persons are killed and 30,961 are Injured in automo bile accidents every week in th* country. The highway accident rec ord for one year is 31,000 killed and 1,000,000 Injured. No less than 4,0W children lose their lives annually ir automobile accidents. Leaving safety to the other fel low won’t do. Every individual whc site behind the wheel of a motoi car has a duty to himself and to th< public to take the accident situ ation seriously, and to take mon than ordinary care to avoid injur ing himself or others. Even the mar who always considered himself tc be a “careful driver” should earn estly ask himself, Am I, really, a.< careful a driver as I think I am?” Rev.

Social Security Gets Under Way; Here’s the ‘How and Wherefore’ . w/HEN you get around to applying tor your £>o ” clal Security benefits, consider yourself part of an undertaking exceeding in magnitude anything of the kind ever before launched. Excepting agricultural labor, domestic servants, casual labor, public employes, and employes of non-profit corporations, the government these days is setting up machinery to enroll 26,000,000 per sons in the greatest actuarial scheme ever con ceived. And it’s a Job, incidentally, that will be done be fore the U. S. Supreme Court decides whether it is all constitutional. Passed by the last Congress as the first national measure of its kind in this country, the Social Se curity Act divides chiefly along three lines: 1— Old-age benefits through an employer employe contributory system. 2— A federal-state unemployment compensa tion system. 3— Public assistance through grants to states for aid to persons over 65, the needy blind, and dependent children. • • • BEGINNING Jan. 1, the government will collect u a tax from both employers and employes on the workers’ wages up to $3000 a year. For three years the worker will pay 1 cent per dollar of wages. The rate gradually rises until it becomes 3 per cent in 1940. The employer, who forwards all the money involved in the tax, con tributes a sum equal to all the taxes his employes pay. Upon reaching the age of 65 under this plan, the worker will receive in monthly benefit payments, a sum computed according to his wages and the number of yeais he has worked between Jan. 1, 1937, and the age of 65. Minimum monthly pay ments will be $10 and the maximum $85, since, for purposes of the act, earnings in excess of $3000 a year are not considered as “wages." . Specifically: A worker earns an average of $30 a week, or $1580 a year, for 30 years, after 1936, before he becomes 65. He will receive govern ment checks of $50.75 a month for the rest of his life after 65. If he dies before receiving any monthly pay ments, his family will receive 3% per cent of these wages, or $1638. Lump sums equivalent to 3% per cent of total wages are paid to workers who reach 65 before they qualify for monthly benefits, which will not be paid until 1942. These and death lump sum payments will begin to become payable in 1937. • • rPO figure your own benefits, use this formula: Estimate your total wages (not above $3000 an nually) between now and your 65th birthday. Per centage of those total wages payable as the monthly benefit will be % of 1 per cent on the first $3000, plus l/12th of 1 per cent on the next $42,000, and 1 /24th of 1 per cent on all above $45,000. To receive the $85 maximum, your total wages would have to be about $130,000.

The unemployment insurance provisions of the Social Security Act hinge on federal-state joint action. The act provides a payroll tax rising from 1 per cent of total payroll for 1936 to 3 per cent in 1938. The Social Security Board’s approval of a state’s plan enables employers subject to that federal tax to obtain credit up to 90 per cent of the tax for contributions to their state unemployment com pensation funds. The tax applies to all who employ eight or more persons for 20 weeks or more. The states with un employment compensation laws withdraw nine tenths of it for their own unemployed by collect ing that percentage as contributions under their own laws. Employers contribute from 0.9 per cent of pay rolls on a rising scale to 2.7 per cent until 1941. Thereafter, credits are allowed to workers who have had little or no unemployment. Under the Social Security Act’s third provision, public assistance, more than 1,000,000 poor and aged persons now receive cash allowances. States match the federal money to supply these funds. For old-age doles, the federal government con tributes half the payment up to a federal-state total of $30 a month. Other phases of the Social Security Act cover grants to states for helping meet costs of maternal, child health, child welfare, and crippled children services, and for extension of public health and vocational rehabilitation sendee*.

The origin of the fire which wiped out the already dilapidated ruins of the large, rambling, 3 story fame building, is unknown, but there have been hints of in cendiarism, possibly the work of marauders or the carelessness of hunters.
