It was also unanimously decided to send a copy of this resolution to the Seaboard Airline Railway in Richmond, Va. The passenger station has not been used as such for a i period of several years since there are few, if any, passengers who travel by train in and out of Littleton now. Those who do, have no need for the station as they come up or leave by way of automobiles. It is also alleged to be a traffic hazard, the board said. A delegation consisting of Dr. C. H. Woodburn, Macon ; Moore, Jr., and O. L. Currin was present in the interest of the demolition. The Board decided to fill in and sign a form to make it possible for any fireman to ; take advantage of the Fireman's Pension Fund, should they desire to do so. This was , done at the request of the . Fire Department. 1 A request for an additional , taxi to be added by the taxi , company was tabled.

A suggestion was made that the word "Stop" be painted in large block letters at some of the more dangerous intersections. Upon -the recommendation of Chief Pinnell, it was decided ' that the "Stop" sign on the right at the corner of Church and North Main Streets, be replaced With a "Yield" sign and the word "Stop" be painted on N.

He said that invitations are being given every family represented in either, the church or Stmday School] membership. Children eight years old and I under will be cared for at the church. All others nine years old and older, will be dinner guests of the church.

He said that | the Sunday School not only met but exceeded its goal. Stegall said, however, that the Forward Program must not be interpreted as simply a way to raise more money for the church.

The goal post here was torn down as the game ended. Both (Jnal HActc utnro Hfttim of Norlina by party or parties believed to have used a truck to drag down the posts. This week, in an open letter to The Warren Record, the student body of the Norlina High School apologizes for action and attitudes shown by former Norlina students following the game and offer to reimburse John Graham High School money necessary for repairs or replacement of their goal post. The letter from the Norlina High School, tfhder date of November 3, reads as follows: "Dear Mr. Jones: "On behalf of the student Social Securil County More Social Security Payments in ^ Warren County are more than $626,000 a year, according to John H. Ingle, manager of the Raleigh Social Security district office. In a news release this week, I | Tngle said that as of February, 19C-9, old-age, survivors, and disability insurance monthly benefits were being paid in Warren County at the rate of $626,976 a year. This is an increase of about 50.47r over last year, Ingle said. I Ingle stressed that while the benefits are intended primarily for the beneficiary's economic security, the payment of social security benefits at the rate of $626,976 a year in Warren County help business in the community generally because most of the money is spent immediately on food, clothing and other necessities. "In February social security benefits were being paid nationally at a rate of nearly 10 billion dollars annually."

We would like for you to understand that the actions shown were not those of the present students of this school. "After considering this matter carefully, we, the student body, feels that if John Graham High wishes for us to reimburse them with the money necessary for' repairs or replacement of their goal-post, we would gladly do as they wish. "We would appreciate this letter appearing in your next edition of The Warren Record. "Sincerely yours, "THE STUDENT BODY OF N. H. S." y Payments I Than $600,01 aged $67.50 a month nationally! in February, and to a retired couple $119.40 a month," Ingle said. The average for a widow with two young children was $165. The maximum payment for a family is $254. "There were several reasons for the increase in beneficiaries over last year," Ingle! I said. The long-term growth of the aged population and of the proportion of the aged popula-' tion eligible for benefits are important factors in the continuing increase in the number of beneficiaries. Other reasons for the increase of beneficiaries are found in the provisions of the 1958 Amendment to the Social Security Act which now make it possible for the wife, dependent husband, and children of a disabled-worker beneficiary to receive monthly payments. These amendments also provide for benefits to aged dependent parents of a deceased worker; even though other survivors! are entitled to payments. Moreover, Ingle pointed out, it is now easier for a disabled, worker to qualify for benefit Perry To Head Of American Ca A Warrenton business leader has been chosen to head thrf Warren County unit of the American Cancer Society. W. E. Perry, Jr., was elected chairman of the local county unit a meeting held here on Tuesday night at Hotel Warren.

The Henderson Tobacco Marmarket had previously given notice that it would close on the same date. The closing of the local tobacco market on Friday afternoon of next week leaves farmers only rive days to dis- = l>u?c ui me remainaer 01 uieir crop locally, as the market will be closed on next Wednesday, November 11, Veterans Day. Edgar Wood, sales supervisor for the local market, said yesterday that up to the close of sales on Wednesday after-, noon, the Warrenton market has sold 8,033,676 pounds, compared with 7,916,090 pounds last year. Wood said that he feels that practically all the tobacco in this area has been sold, although the market may sell an additional quarter of a million pounds before it closes. He said that the market has enjoyed a good season, and in spite of the extremely light weight of tobacco this year, has exceeded sales of last vear n Warren )0 Annually ! payments. He no longer needs social security credit for 1% years of work in the last three years before he became disabled. If he worked under social security for at least five out of the 10 years before he became disabled he may be eligible for disability benefits. "Increases in average benefit payments reflect the 7 per cent raise in benefit amounts which became effective with the checks for January 1900," Ingle said. Average disability j benefit payments also reflect ' thev elimination of the so-called "off-set" provision in the old law. Disability benefits under social security are now payable in full even though I benefits are also payable under state workmen's compensation or under some other Federal Government program. For the entire state of North I Carolina, social security payjments at the end of February 11959 were being paid to 281,1421 beneficiaries at the rate I of $12,847,753 per month.
