BLAST
Investigation is being made into
the cause of the explosion that
wrecked the German air ship, Hin

the tragedy, but this theory is scof
fed at by other experts. Hydrogen
was used in the shop and the claim
is being made that law’ should re
quire hereafter the use of helium

KING GEORGE
The coronation of King George
of England reminds one of the fact
that there s some advantage in
living under a monarchy. In the
United States, every four years we
j are put to the mental wear and
tear that accompanies pointing

In a monarchy it is merely a mat

SOCIAL SECURITY CAUTION
Insatnces of alleged counterfeit
social security account cards being
used for identification in cashing
checks brought from the Social Se
curity Board today a caut on that
cards issued by the Board are for
identification purposes under the
Social Security Act.
Possession of an account card,
holds no particular sign ficance for
other identification purposes or for
the financial responsibility of tbe
individual, Mr. Stacey W. Wade,
Feld representative in charge of
the Social Security Board office at
116 1-2 S. Salisbury Street in Ral
eigh, said.
The Board wished to emphasize,
Mr. Wade sad, that under the cir
cumstances in which account cards
are designed to be used it is against
the employee’s interest to use a j
card other than his own. Account j
numbers are being used by the;
Board in adm nistering the Federal
old-age benefits plan and by the I
States in administering their un
employment compensation laws.
For purposes of the Federal old- j
age benefits program, employers,
beginning next July, will use ac
count numbers in reporting the
amount of wages paid employees.
These wages will be credited to the i
individual employee’s social secur ty [
accounty. The amount of old-age
benefits will be based on the total
amount of wages paid the individu
al employee in covered employment
after 1936 and unt 1 he reaches age
65, Mr Wade pointed out.
Employees in industry and com
merce who do not have account
numbers were urged to apply im
mediately at their local post offices
for them. Duplicate account cards,
Mr. Wade added, may be obtained
in the same way by employees who
have lost their cards.

Ray Morrow, of Statesville, was
named chairman and pres ded over
both sessions. He carried the meet
ing along at a lively pace.
W. W. Eagles, of Macclesfield, as
president of the Farmers Coopera
tive exchange, extended a warm
collective welcome. In addition to
be ng a farmer and farm leader,
Mr. Eagles is also a familiar figure
in the State Capitol where he has
served several terms in the House

VALUE PLACED ON LIFE
INSURANCE
t
Startling evidence of the value
r i wh ch life insurance policyholders
j place on their protection is found
j in a survey recently conducted by
r the Lincoln National Life Insurance
Company on paid-up policies which
bore heavy The sur
vey covered the years 1934 and
’ 1935—years in which economic con
ditions were exceedingly unfavor
able. and unemployment was about
at its depression peak.
P Despite this, surprisingly few
polickholders allowed their con
j tracts to lapse. One-half of the pol
icyholders paid the interest on their
loans, and many partially or com
pletely paid them off. Only 19 per
cent allowed the r loans to increase
by the amount of the interest, and
, j *
j none increased their loans by addi
l tional borrowing.
This fine record is doubtless re
j fleeted by the statistics of other
j 1 fe insurance companies. Insurance
policyholders alowed their con
lengths before imperilling the mon
ey they have saved up to protect
their dependents in the event of the
wage-earner’s death, and to guar
antee themselves a secure old age.
