WOODSON Your Telephone Manager THEY FLY THROUGH THE AIR —Most folks don’t realize that many Long Distance calls fly through the air with the greatest of ease—not on wires, but over high frequency radio waves. Microwave radio relay, we call it. I know you’ve seen those tall towers in the country __ side or on a hill, with the horn-like contraptions on top. Well, radio 'relay bounces your voice across the country with the speed of light from tower to tower, spaced about 30 miles apart. It supple ments land wires and car ries hundreds of telephone conversations at the same time. Radio relay is still another way we’re work ing together to bring peo ple closer together. HOW TO MAKE LIVING EASIER —A lady told me something the other day that makes sense. She said, “Folks arrange their furniture and appliances so they’ll be most convenient—why not their telephones, too?” (She has two extra phones.) Now, she’s got the right idea about easy living. Phones where you need them most, like the kitchen, bedroom or den. Phones in smart colors that add just the right touch. Phones you reach for, not run for. You know, extra phones cost only about four cents a day each, plus a one-time charge for color and installation. Why not order an extra phone or two now—for easier living? * * * THE NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY for Wil mington and Southport will go to press on August ti, 1957. Now is the time to add listings, or change listings in the alphabetical white pages. The cost is small in face, about a penny a day for listing jour son, or your daughter, or other members of vmur firm. Bjr having their names listed in the Directory makes it easier for people to call them. Don t put oft calling your Service Representative at 9011.

Changes Affect Social Security Disability Payments For Thousands Of Persons Will Be Mailed For First Time In August By Ernest F. Fitzpatrick More than one hundred thousand severely disabled people in com munities all over the Nation will receive their first social security disability insurance checks in August, Ernest F. Fitzpatrick, District Manager of the Wilming ton social security office announc ed today. But many other eligible dis abled workers 50 to 65 years of age, some of them no doubt living in Brunswick County, have so far failed to make application to their social security offices. Those who have been disabled for work for a long time must apply before June 30, Mr. Fitzpatrick pointed out, or they will lose their rights to these new benefit payments. Any severely disabled person who has worked under social security for at least 5 years and who has been disabled for 6 months or more should get in touch with his social security of fice right away, the social security district manager said. If he is less than 50 years of ! age, he may be eligible to have ' his social security record frozen I to protect his future right to dis- ‘ ability payments, and also his and ) lis family’s rights to old-age and j survivors insurance benefits. “Unfortunately there is a lot of misunderstanding,” Mr. Fitz patrick said, "as to how disabled a worker has to be to get social security disability insurance bene fits or to have his .social security record frozen. The rules in the social security law for deciding whether a person is ‘disabled’ are diffeernt from the rules in some other Government and private dis ability programs.” To be found “disabled” under the social security law, he said, a worker must have a disability which, in the words of the law, makes him unable “to engage in | any substantial gainful activity.” It must be the kind of physical or mental condition which shows up in the medical evidence, in cluding his doctor's report, hos pital reports, or special tests. It must have lasted for at least 6 months and be expected to con tinue for a long and indefinite time. In general, he said, “substantial gainful activity” means the per formance of a substantial amount of work with reasonable regularity in employment or self-employ ment. A person does not have to be completely helpless to qualify under the social security disability provisions, Mr. Fitzpatrick empha sized. Consideration is given to all of the facts in the individual’s situation both medical and non medical. First consideration is, of course, given to the severity of his con dition as shown by the medical evidence. This evidence must show that the person has a condition which makes him unable to per form significant functions such as moving about, handling objects, hearing, speaking, understanding, or reasoning, so that he cannot with his training, education, and work experience engage in any kind of substantial gainful ac tivity. Examples of some impairments which would ordinarily be con sidered severe enough to prevent substantial f gainful activity are: 1. Loss of two limbs. 2. Progressive disease which was resulted in the physical loss or atrophy of a limb; such as, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or Buerger’s disease. 3. Disease of heart, lungs, or blood vessels which has resulted in major loss of heart or lung re serve as evidenced by x-ray, elec trocardiogram or other objective findings so that, despite medical treatment, if produces breathless ness, pain, or fatigue on slight exertion, such as walking several blocks, using public transporta tion, or doing small chores. 4. Cancer which is inoperable and progressive. 5. Damage to the brain or brain abnormality which has re sulted in severe loss of judgment, ehedule LMINGXQJf, N.

Permanent and total loss of speech. 9. Total deafness uneorrect.ible by a hearing aid. Mr. Fitzpatrick said most in dividuals with such serious dis abilities are unable to work. There i are cases, however, where a per | fon witb such a severe disability j is working, or able to work, be | cause of his special knowledges and skills. He would not be en titled to benefits, the district manager said, because he would I be able to engage in substantial. 1 gainful activity. A person might work occasion ally or intermittently and this would not necessarily mean that he was able to engage in sub stntial gainful, activity. Both the nature of the work and the amount of money he earned would have to be considered. Qn the other hand, some per sons with conditions somewhat less severe than the ones listed above might be found unable to engage in substantial gainful ac tivity because of the actual facts in their cases. If a person’s con dition coupled with his work back ground, his lack of education, training, and other physical and mental resources does in fact pre vent him from working, he would have a disability which prevents him from engaging in substantial gainful activity, and would there fore be found eligible under the r H-GI Is Better illege Student ecords Indicate li a study just released, Co a college in New York re that students attending col following military service ile a higher academic record, e college made the study to mine the success of the policy of affording a chance" to students ped for academic failure and subsequently reenter college ring a period of military S Lll'.S “ md f s ice. i'sultant statistics show that olhe 68 cases for the decade, ll-56, 43 (63 percent) made gB on. the second chance. .Jlirticularly significant," de IpT® a spokesman for the col Ige, “is the fact that of the stu dents! who were readmitted fol military service 72 percent ded, as compared with 58 sees pref it of those who had been en Pgef eed,1 pern Ingt |iix bf a P a M £ in civilian employment.

I KEEP COOL IN HOT WEATHER AND ENJOY A GAME OF CARPET GOLF AT LONG BEACH I f . Good Sandwiches and Dancing AT THE PAVILION LONG BEACH Inflation Fears Are Worldwide With living1 costs on the climb | and at new highs practically everywhere, the entire free world has awakened to the realization that it is at grips with another comman enemy which is inherent ly destructive of social and eco nomic values. That is the growing threat of inflation, arising out of a com bination of factors in one country after another in which excessive public and private spending and mounting evidence of a wage price spiral are playing major rqles. These are views of the Institute of Life Insurance. Parelleling what is taking place in the United States, action is i being taken by various countries abroad to contain the danger and to promote economic stability and sound growth. Top priority in all cases is being given to encouragement of in dividual savings as both a tradi tional inflation antidote and as a source of needed capital and in vestment funds to expand pro duction. Behind the free world’s com mon concern with the inflation ary danger is a fundamental change in public psychology that has taken place in the last decade. When World War II ended, the fear of a postwar depression was general and dominated the think ing and policies of practically all oountries. Recent developments, however, have brought the universal recog nition that the real current dan ger is inflation, and that the fight on deflation actually begins with the prevention of inflation. A roundup of figures compiled by the United Nations shows the worldwide extent of the inflation problem. There are no data for the Communist world, but recent events have provided clear-cut signs of mounting economic strain behind the Iron Curtain also. Since the end of 1955, for ex ample, a period of little over a year, living costs have risen 2 percent each in Germany and Switzerland; 3 percent in Cana da; and 4 percent each in Bel gium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Other countries show greater in creases. The rise in living costs for the period was 41 percent in the case of Chile, which along with some other South American countries has been experiencing a runaway inflation. What is particularly significant and disturbing about the price rise in the United States and oountries in Europe and elsewhere is that the new climb in living costs since the end of 1955 came j after a relatively long period of stability. This provides decisive | evidence of the underlying strength of inflationary pressures. For the period from 1950 to date, the rise in living costs and consequent internal depreciation in the buying power of various currencies ihas been substantial. Living costs for this period have risen 13 percent in the United States and Germany, for example; 15 percent in Canada; and 38 per cent each in Japan, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. An analysis of reports from abroad shows a striking uniform- | ity in the policies being adopted and action being taken in country after country to meet the infla tion problem. The first is the general employ ment of monetary and credit re straints, applied through higher central bank discount charges, rising interest rates, and in some countries consumer credit con trols. In general, interest rates are higher in other countries than in the United States, and re- j straint measures are stricter also. There is a wide awareness of the inflationary impact of high government spending on econo mies that are at the practical limits of their manpower, finan cial and other resources. As a result, the drive for more economy in government is taking on Worldwide dimensions. Since defense and military spending rep resents such a large part of gov ernment budgets—the proportion is about 60 percent in our own government—it is undergoing a more critical appraisal to elimin ate waste and duplication. Bugs Bik Threat For Pine Trees Don’t leave pine pulpwood or logs lying around in the woods after they are cut, advise fores try experts. The bugs are sure to get them—and standing pines, too. R. S. Douglass, forestry spe cialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, declares that pine bark beetles are working “full blast” now. They are at tracted, often in large numbers, by freshly cut or damaged pines, nlvading these trees, they soon produce a new generation. When the new generation emerges from their “home” tree they are look ing for fresh pine wood to chew | on. Often this is a nearby pine. Large numbers of these little bee tles bore into surrounding pines and soon kill them. This may be repeated several times before cold weather stops them. Usually they winter over in the last tree at tacked and are ready to go again when the weather turns warm in the spring. Douglass cautions woodland owners not. to pile green lumber or slabs near pine tres. This practice, he says, often results in the standing trees becoming infested. The homeowner, with ornamen tal pines in his yard, the prob lem is also serious. The recommendation for pre venting insect attacks on pines is to spray or brush on trees a one per cent solution of gamma ben zene hexachloride (commonly known as BHC) in No. 2 fuel oil (don't use kerosene)—use one part BRC in 99 parts oil. Be sure to get good coverage— brush on trees to highest point of attack until material stars to drip or run. And remember, BHC is poison ous. Keep the container plainly labeled and out of reach of chil dren and animals. Follow manu facturers directions on container.
