THE DANBURY REPORTER Established 1872 Volume 66 CLEMMONS FORD PROJECT GROWS NGINEEBS SURVEYING FOB THIRD DAM TO IMPOUND STOKES WATERS—DAN WV- ER AND BIG CREEK TO BE ■ OP TIONS BEING TAKEN ON AD JACENT LANDS. Starting with the court house square at Danbury for the base o their measurements, surveyors led by local engineer R. R. King to day began surveying east from Danbury toward Red Shoals, six miles below this place. After completing surveys at Clemmons Ford, embracing the *rea for mile a around the mouth of Big Creek and traversing the fine water powers of Clemmons Ford, it is learned the promoters of the Clemmons Ford hydro electrical project contemplate a third dam across the Dan river at Red Shoals. The main dam is to span the river at Clemmons, the second near the mouth and across Big Creek. T. L. Booth and others have been busy this week getting sig natures to many options covering lands to be embraced in the watered area of many square miles. It is estimated that acore 8 of farms will be partially or wholly submerged by the impounded riv er and creek. The promoters of the Clem moot project, which will have an estimated value of several million dollars, are located at Washing ton, D. C., but there are reports that the operations concern muni cipal needs of High Point, Wins ton-Salem or Greensboro. The water power to be develop ed in the clemmons zone it is said will be several times greater than that covered by the Pinna clea-of-Dan project in Virginia, which is to furnish lights and power for the city of Danville.

Questions and Answers About Old-Age Insurance Given below are questions that have been asked by men or women of this region. The answers are supplied by Mr. J. •• N. Freeman, Manager of the Winston-Salem of fice of the Social Security Board. Q: I lost my job not long ago, when the pressing shop where I was employed went out of busi ness. When I went to the Em- ployment Service to apply for un employment insurance benefits I was told that m y former employ er was not subject to the law and therefore I was not entitled to benefits. They said that in North Carolina nobody get 3 unemploy ment insurance except people who had been working for employers having eight or more employees; and my boss had only tw 0 em ployees. I have been paying my one per cent wage tax all along. How does it happen that I am not entitled to benefits, now that I am without a job? ANS: Employers of eight or more workers in commerce or in jdustry in North Carolina are sub ject to the tax under the State un- 'employment compensation law; 'and their employees a r e included under the benefit provisions of that law. But workers who are employed by firms exempted un der the law are not entitled to 'this job insurance. Workers do not pay tax under the unemploy jment compensation law in this 'state. « d - Unemployment compensation (or insurance) is one thing and old-age insurance is something else—an entirely different pro vision of the Social Security Act. Workers who participate in the Federal old-age insurance system are not necessarily covered by I State unemployment compensa tion laws. Q: My husband who was em ployed in a mill died a short time ago. I em told that his wage record under the Social Security Act entitles me to some benefits, and I have been advised to file a claim for payment. Please tell me if there is any charge for filing a claim for old-age insurance ben efits. ANS: There are no charges whatever made by the Board in connection with the filing of such claims, and no outside assistance is necessary. If you are entitled to file a claim for such benefit, any Social Security Board office will furnish you with the necessary claims forms and will give you assistance in filling out the forms properly. This service is abso lutely free. Q: What Is meant by a lump sum payment of old-age insur once? ANS: That means that the whole amount of the benefit due nn insured worker who reaches nge 65 or death payment due the estate of a deceased wage earner is paid at one time. The claimant receives the money due him in one check. Danbury, N. C., Thursday, October 6, 1938. FARMERS. ARE REAPING RESULTS TOBACCO IS SELLING WELL ON ALL MARKETS—BETTER GRADES ARE GOING HIGH ER—MANY GOOD SALES BEING MADE—THOSE WHO HAVE COOPERATED WITH THE GOVERNMENT ABE GLAD. The good news comes from all the markets of the Old Belt that tobacco is selling good, and that '.he better grades which were dull at the start, are every day going higher. Farmers stopping over at the Reporter office on their way home from the markets, usually are highly pleased and ready to exhibit some very attractive warehouse bills of sale. One far mer sold a load for $700.00. Three brothers got more than a thou sand dollars at one time. Four quite common. A Danbury to and five hundred dollar loads are bacco grower made the state ment that he saw tobacco selling higher one day this week than at any time since 1919, the big Those farmers who signed up and co-operated with the govern ment in controlling the price are happy. Those who did not, and are anxious to go back to the days "uncontrol," may have a phance to do so by voting next time for the "Old Deal" to come back, as the law is operative for only a year at a t^ me > and is sub ject entirely to the wishes of the farmers themselves.

Tax Increase Substantial increases were shown in both corporation and in dividual income taxes for Nbrth Carolina for the fiscal year end ine June 30, 1938, according to the annual report of Commission er of Internal Revenue Guy T. Helvering. Q: What is to prevent a credi tor from finding out how much old-age insurance a relative re ceived from the Government in payment of benefits due the sur vivor of a deceased worker? ANS: The Social Security Board keeps confidential all infor ntation regarding workers. No one but trusted employees of the Social Security Board ever sees the records of the people who have social security accounts. The Board protv-ts th> workers against any outside attempt to utilize this information for any reason whatsoever. No employer and no other branch of the Gov ernment has access to the files cf the Social Security Board, JAMES A.

Farley, optimistic over new deal prospects in the fall elections, to day pledged flull support to all Democratic nominees, regardless of their attitude toward the ad ministration.

Johnston Director, Bnrinwi Training School*, International Coirtspondaaa School* ACCOUNTANCY has firmly estab lished itself as the moat 'tidta pe usable tool available to business. A good accounting system not only reveals the trend and the present condition of a concern, bat supplies the figures needed to control IU operations In coming period*. A good accounting system doe* this, aot only for a business as a whole, tat for each Individual department la the buslnssa The employee who wUhes to se cure advancement should be guided by the remark made by the presi dent of a large company. He said: "1 seldom can promote old em ployees to supervisory positions be cause they do not have a suffldsnt understanding of accounting to operate departments economically and efficiently. Unless a supervisor Is accounting-minded, he control the expenses for which he Is responsible." • • • If a knowledge, of accounting to Indispensable to minor supervisors and department heads, how much mors necessary Is It to owners and senior executives. Competition Is so keen today that few businesses eaa survive unless losses are elimi nated and effort concentrated on the most profitable operations. Good accounting tells the merchant those lines which are profitable and In dicates those expenses that are excessive. Through accounting the manu facturer can learn what It costs to produce, sell, and deliver a unit of product to different types of cus tomers In different areas and thns to set prices accurately. In addition It enables him to control manufac turing, selling, and administrative expenses.
