Security Benefits In Warren Over $1,400,000 A Year Warren County citizens are now receiving social security benefits at the rate of more than $1,400,000 a year, ac cording to the district office of the U. S. Department of Health, Educ^tfafl, .social Se curity Administration. Two thousand, three hun dred and ninety-seven men, women and children in War ren County were receiving so cial security benefits at a monthly rate of $117,919 at the end of 1966, Robert A. Flynn, social security dis trict manager in Raleigh, re ported this week. More than $392,302,000 in social security benefits was paid to residents of North Carolina last year, up over 11 percent from the year be fore, he said. Among those receiving benefits in Warren County, Flynn said, 1,733 were older people receiving benefits as retired workers, the wives and husbands of retired workers and as the surviving widows or aged dependent parents of workers who have died. "But social security is not Just for older people, Flynn pointed out. Three hundred and ninety-eight young widows and children in Warren Coun ty were receiving benefits amounting to $14,609 at the end of December. One hund red and eighty-seven disabled workers were receiving bene fits at a monthly rate of $8,664. "Practically every young family In North Carolina has survivors protection under social security that can be worth $75,000 or more, and equally valuabl& disability in surance protection," Flynn said. U - The average worker, he said, can expect to collect more than the value of his social security tax contribu tions just in the benefits pay able to him and his wife In retirement. If he does not live to retirement, his family stands to collect far more than the contributions he has paid; and the same will be true if he should become total ly disabled for work before 65. Monthly payments to the family of a worker who dies, leaving two or more children, can range from $66 to $368 a month, depending on the worker's average earnings under social security. Social security survivors benefits, Mr. Flynn said, can be paid to the family of a young man who has worked and paid social security contribu tions for as little as a year and a half during the three years before his death. Bene fits to the mother and children continue until the youngest child reaches 18, or in definitely, if the child has a disability which began before his 18th birthday and makes It impossible for him to work and become self-supporting. Under a change In the law enacted in 1965, a child's benefits can be continued up until age 22 if he or she con tinues in school. Under the schedule of taxes iq the present social security law even the group of young J iters who will start cork in 1974, after the maximum tax rates for old-age, survi vors, and disability insurance go into effect, will pay only (See BENEFITS, page 3) Poppies To Be Sold Here On May 26-27 Poppies will be sold on the streets of Warrenton on Fri day afternoon as well as on Saturday, May 27, under the sponsorship of the American Legion Auxiliary.

Robert Scott * . t Lions Club Speaker Increase In urban strength In the General Assembly as a result of reapportionment could lead to a State tax on cigarets In future years, Lt. Gov. Robert Scott said - here Friday night. He said that the imposition of any such tax in the present assembly seems to him to be unlikely. Scott's comment was made in a question and answer per iod following a talk to mem bers of the local Lions Club and special guests at Colonial Lodge. He also said that he did not believe that an over all cut in State taxes would be possible in view of the demands of state agencies for funds. Presented by W. R, Drake, who was in charge of the program, Scott at the begin ning of his talk explained that as Lieutenant Governor he presided over the Senate, but has little part in shaping of legislation, and as a conse quence was not too familiar with many of the bills offer ed. He said that most of his information comes from the news media, and is the same as that furnished the reading public. Often mentioned as a can didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1968 Scott said that some kind of rumor to this effect must have escaped from his political headquarters in Ral eigh. His remarks had no di rect bearing on his candidacy, and were largely confined to the functions of government in North Carolina, after he had expressed his appreciation to the people of Warren County for the support given his father, the late W. Kerr Scott,. in his campaigns for Gover nor and U. S. Senator. Lt. Gov. Scott likened the State government to a cor poration in which the people are the stockholders, the leg ist rfure the board of direc tors, and the Government and Council at State afa manage ment. if it is to be a food corporation, bo said, it must have the interest of thestoek nustaeetottthat a flood board of directors is People should be free to criticize the action of their government, Scott said, be cause such criticism is not only a right of the people, but, if constructive, may lead to more effective government. The people, he said, are much interested in highway con struction and if we are to have the types of roads essential to serve the needs of the peo ple, a" new look at highway financing should be taken. Only one cent, he pointed out, has been added to the gasoline tax to finance road construction since the beginning of the Scott road building program, and this does not meet the need CSee SCOTT, page 3) An application for the con struction of a standard broadcast radio station at Warrenton has been made to the Federal Communications Commission by a Warren County native and his wife.
