SOCIAL SECURITY FACTS Bi D. ff. LAMBERT, Mmrw lose It BECAUSE It Is The Key To All Your Future Benefits Thing* to Remember Tf you have been following this series of articles you know that Federal old-age and survivors in surance means income for your old age, and protection for your family if you die. If you work on a job covered by social security, tell your wife that there will be something coming to her if you die. The chances are that she doesn't know it. For everybody we suggest two rules to remember: 1. Whenever a worker reaches 65, if he has been working under Social Security, he should get in touch with the nearest office of the Social Security Administra tion and find out where he stands. 2. If a worker dies after work ing under Social Security, some one should get in touch at once with the nearest office of the So cial Security Administration. Don't delay. You may lose mo ney if you "do it later." This is our last article in this service on your Social Security. For further information write or call at your local Social Security Administration field office. There are more than 400 fieid offices in the United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. If you cannot locate a field office near your home ask your lo cal post office to help you. The.of fice serving western North Carolina is located at 203 Flatiron Building, in Asheville, or meet the repre sentative when he visits your coun ty.

Doans Pills r Check All These Points r To Plant Bulbs Safely TULIPS 6 INCHES HYACINTHS ■% 6 iNCHES. CROCUS- 2 INCHES. SG1LLA - 3 INCHES. DAFFODILS-6 INCHES Botanists say that a bulb is "a store house containing a new plant, plus food and energy sufficient to carry it to maturity." Bulbs are much older and stronger than seeds, and better equipped to with stand the hazards which beset all infant plants. But there are some conditions which will destroy them and these must be carefully avoided when you plant bulbs this fall. The chief enemy of bulbs is poor drainage; in wet soil they will decay and this causes most failures with garden bulbs. If there is any doubt about your soil being well drained, raise the bed six inches or more above the surface before planting. Where there is much alternate freezing and thawing in the winter this expands and contracts the soil so that bulbs not planted deeply enough are often squeezed out of the ground. The remedy is to plant deep and early enough for the bulbs to make roots, which will help an chor them. Minimum depths are: Snowdrops, crocuses, 2 inches; scil las, 3 inches; tulips, hyacinths, nar cissi, 6 inches. If tulips are to be left in the ground for several years without being lifted, they will last longer if set 8 to 10 inches below the surface. All seeds, plants and bulbs must have soil packed firmly about them, since they cannot take food and moisture except in contact with the soil. An airpocket betwen the buflr and soil will start decay. This oftek happens when a bulb is dropped int» a hole which narrows at the bottom, as-^tfhen made with a pointed "dib ber" and the bulb is hung with am airspace below it. Be sure to set th* bulb base on soil and pack weE around it, digging the hole with,* trowel, or a bulb dibber with round ed end. Though bulbs carry a food suppfr and will flower without fertilizer^ larger flowers and more vigorous plants will result if plant food is supplied. When spading up space for them spread a balanced plant food evenly over the bed, 4 pounds to 100 square feet, and spade it un der. When planting between other plants in the border, mix half a tea spoonful of plant food with soil ate the bottom of each hole and cover it with at least an inch of fresh, soil/ before dropping In the bulk Never use fresh manure on bulbs, however. Bulbs planted after Nov. 1 need special protection against dampness and frost injury, since they haw less time to start new growth ant? make roots before the freeze-®^ comes. Plant them a little deeper and as soon as the surface of the soft freezes cover them with an inch «r two of leaves to shade the ground and prevent thawing and heaving during the winter. r Best Advertising Medium ADVERTISE IN THE PROGRESS »■ t Olds mo b i I e Rockets Ahead! \ Look ahead to a great new fleet of Futuramic Oldsmobiles for '50.
