Graduation Brings Back Memories
Larry Dixon
Buried Sunday
Lawrence Fitch Dixon, Jr.,
age 47, of 115 Morningside
Drive, died in a Henderson
county hospital last Thursday
night after an extended illness.
He was a native of Durham and
had resided in Brevard for a
number of years.
He was filter plant operator
at Olin Corporation where he
had worked for 25 years. He
was a World War II veteran of
the U. S. Air Force.
Surviving are the wife, Mrs.
Eleanor King Dixon of the
home; one son Lawrence Frank
lin Dixon; and a daughter, Miss
Linda Caroline Dixon of the
home: the mother, Mrs. Alex
ina B. Dixon, of Brevard; one
brother, David Dixon, of Cali
fornia; and a sister, Mrs. Mar
tha Baldwin of Tar Heel.
Memorial services were con

studying must also be put

to take a few exams while the

Many students will be gone
week and, therefore, have only
one more weekend at Brevard.
Others will be here until Wed
nesday or Thursday and, of
course, those graduating will be
here until Sunday.
The freshmen will be back,

may never return again. To us
graduation is both a happy but
also a sad day. I think by now
it has hit most of us that we

threatened never to come hack,
those days we have prayed for
graduation to hurry and come,
now that the time has come,
I’m sure that as we look back
we realize that even those days
were not unhappy. They loo
are times that we will look
back on with fond memories.
As for me, I think I will
miss the people I have met on
the campus. Brevard is not on
ly a place then of higher edu
cation, hut also a place where
friendships have grown. Bre
vard has been a place of se
curity. When first arriving on
the campus I was apprehensive,
even scared about what was
going to happen to me the next
two years. Since that day, how
ever, I have grown to feel a
deep sense of security. I knew
what was expected of me. For
those graduating, however, this
feeling must again begin in
another world, on another cam
pus. We must again feel appre
hension and fight for a sense of
security. We will take a step
forward and carry with us the
fond memories we have of Bre
vard College. —Laurie Pearson

SOCIAL SECURITY
Questions And
Answers
By
NORRIS G. GRUBBS
Field Representative
Q. I’ve been getting month
ly social security benefits since
I was 62. I’ll be 65 in May 1971.
What do I have to do to sign
up for Medicare?
A. There are two parts to
the Medicare coverage. You
will automatically qualify for
the hospital insurance part
without doing anything. Hos
pital insurance, financed
through employee and em
ployer contributions to social
security during a person’s
working years, requires no
premium payments.
The other part of Medicare
is medical insurance. You
should receive a form in the
mail several months before
you are 65 asking if you want,
this part of Medicare. If you
want the Medicare medical
insurance, complete this form
and return it in the envelope
furnished. This part of Med
icare is financed by monthly
premiums of $5.30 from peo
ple who sign up for medical
insurance and matching con
tributions from Government
funds.
If you do not get the form,
or if you have any other
questions, rail your social se
curity office.
Q. I can’t give you niy name
for obvious reasons, but I make
a lot of money bootlegging
whiskey. Some joker told me
1 have to pay social security
taxes on this money if I clear
over $400 in a year. He’s got
to be kidding!
A. He wasn't kidding. Yon
are in business, and the fart
that your business is illegal
doesn’t, keep your earnings
from heing subject to social
security taxes.
Q. I receive social security
checks and I understand I am
supposed to get an increase in
my check. When am I going to
get the extra money?
A. _ Congress recently pass
ed a law increasing social
security mputhjy benefits by
ten pereertt. The tjrst chgrk
tbit will include this increase
will be the May dieeh. which
you should receive on June 3.
The increase was made effec
tive January 1, 1911, so you
will receive the ten percent
