ilonel Hobgood, who is a law>r,
has written us a very fine
Iter of recommendation for himlf.
A fine letter from President
Hammond Brown of the Outor
Writers Association of
merica, some of whom are to
.thor here this fall, is appreited,
especially the personal
ference, in which Brownie said:
(ill, a lot of us fellows would
anything except walk through

at if we caught a cold day."
This summer we have been
ry much missing F. P. (Doc)
immers of Charlotte. Despite
e fact that a lot of other fclvs
have gotten credit for catchg
many a big fish on Frying
in Shoals, it is to Doc that

R. L. Foggleman, prominent

us that he was going to exjte
his mission in half a day
d take himself around to the

out from Greensboro folks,

ow what luck he had.
2. G. Vogell, prominent Coiuml,

for a long time he intended

aight fishing. So far the best
has been able to do has been

ments and agencies working on
a full time basis and all teachers c
and employees of the State sup- w

educational institutions.

are members of the System unless
they shall elect to withdraw g
from the System. All teachers or 1
other employees of the State who ?'
arc employed after July 1, 1941,
must come into the System. ?1
The Law provides an automa- ^
tic savings of 4% of the member's
compensation, up to $3,000.
This amount is deducted on the
payroll and credited to the member
in an individual savings ac
c unt in the office of the Secre- _
tary of the Board of Trustees.,
The State Treasurer is the cus- *
todian of the funds and the money
is protected by his bond as well
as the honor and integrity of
the State of North Carolina.
These contributions purchase an
annuity for the member and the "
State matches this amount in a
pension fund for the member. Interest
is compounded annually on ;r
the member's contribution.
Any member in service may w
retire who has attained the age
of sixty years by making written rr
application to the Board of Trus- of
I tees of the Retirement System. w
| A member can continue in serv- isi
ice beyond sixty. On reaching H
sixty-five the employer must re- m
quest the member to remain. On h:
reaching seventy the employer or
must request the member to re- dt
main and with permission of the
Board of Trustees of the Re- wl
tirement System the member can is
remain in service for two year wi
periods until disqualified by old Ti
age or infirmities. Di
If a member, after ten years fij
service, is totally disable for any te
reason, the member can draw of
the amount which the member's
accumulated contributions will JJ
provided in the form of an annuity
at the time of retirement on ac
count of disability and 75% of
the amount of the State's con- B
tributions which would be due ma
the member at sixty. jail
Membership in the Retirement bre
System provides some insurance to
for a member's dependents.' It wri
often happens that through pre- Sur
mature death a teacher or State I
employee leaves his dependents thu
without any support. It is pos- for
sible to buy, and a person with cap
dependents should buy, protection age
