Brunswick ^Offers Site For Battleship Local Representatives Will1* Appear Before N, C. Bat tleship Advisory Commit tee To Make Offer Southport citizens, acting trou gh the Southport Development Corporation, are planning to of fer two free sites to be consider ed by the North Carolina Battle ship Advisory Committee as a lo cation for the permanent berth for the Battleship North Carolina. Last week Governor Terry San ford asked members of the com mittee which had been appointed last fall by Governor Luther H. Hodges to continue to serve until definite plans and arrangements are completed for bringing the famous battleship to this State to be made into an historic shrine. James C. Bowman, Southport attorney, is a member of that committee and was one of the members who visited the site of the Battleship Texas at Houston. Governor Sanford has stated that he considers the first two important steps to be a decision as to where the Battleship North Carolina will be permanently ber thed; and how to raise the neces sary funds to bring her to this State and install her in a land locked berth without having to resort to use of tax money. It has been estimated that it will cost about $250,000 to do this, but once the ship is in place, there is good reason to be lieve that it actually will be a profiable venture. That at least has been the experience of the Battleship Texas. Bowman said this week that he is expecting to be called to a meeting of the committee within a few days.

Bunn Frink, Southport Attorney, Serving Fifth Term In Legislature, First In House S. Bunn Frink is in Raleigh to day for the opening session of the North Carolina General Assembly, and although he is a veteran leg islator he is a freshman member of the House of Representatives. That comes from the fact that although he has served on four previous occasions as a member of that body, his previous service has been in the State Senate. Frink appeared with Ben Mc Donald on television Saturday night and said that one reason he wanted to go to Raleigh this year is to see why some move has not been made to spend the $500, 000 which was made available for use by the State Ports Authority during last session. Frink succeeds James C. Bow man, another Southport attorney, as representative from Brunswick county. Bowman served during the 1957 and the 1959 sessions. Frink was a member of the S. BUNN FRINK State Senate in 1959, but since Brunswick was not entitled to a I State Senator this year under the rotation plan, he decided to be come a candidate after Bowman announced that he would not seek reelection.

Gives Advice To Newly Eligible Social Security Representa tive Gives Hints As To How To Speed Processing Claims By Doris H. Moss (Field Representative, Social Security Administration) The Wilmington, District Soci al Security benefits because of the 1960 Social Security Admend ments. To speed the payment of your first retirement check, bring the necessary proofs with you the first time you come in to file a claim for benefits. Any social security office can furnish application forms and as sist you in the completion of your claim. However, it is a good idea to know. something about what information and proofs you will be asked to furnish. A telephone call to your social security office to find out what proofs are need ed will solve the problems in most cases. When you apply for payments on your own account, you will need proof of your age and the amount of earnings for last year. The best evidence of age is a birth certificate issued shortly after birth, but if you do not have a birth certificate, you can prove your age in a number of othera ways. A baptismal record is al most as good as a birth certifi cate. Marriage certificates, birth records in a family Bible, World War I discharges, voting records, old insurance policies, and other old documents may also be ac ceptable. Usually the Social Sec urity Office will be able to sug gest some document that will be reasonably easy to get. To furnish proof of your earn ings, you can use your 1960 Form W-2 (withholding statement given i by your employer) if you worked for wages. If you are self-employ- : ed, bring a copy of your 1960 income tax return including the self-employment schedule and some evidence that the return was filed, such as a cancelled Continued On Page 4 15 C.
