New Red Cross Project Ss Begun Work began Tuesday on a new Red Cross project, the making of bandages for hospital use. Un til further notice this sewing will be done each Tuesday afterncK n at the Woman’s Club, beginning at 2:30 o’clock. Ail who can sew straight seams, baste or turn un der raw edges of cloth are asked to help. Some competent person will be in charge each week and even inexperienced workers can help. The need for these bandages is urgent and Zebulon community will doubtless be glad to help. Re member it is not a club underta ;- ing nor does any church take the lead in it; all are invited and ex pected. if interested in caring tor our soldiers and sailors. While the Woman’s Club is glad to furnish quarters f r the sew ing, there is no fund for extra fuel. Those living in the county may be of vital assistance by bringing or sending as many piec es of stovewood as they are will ing to give. Throw a few pieces in the back of the car when driv ing to town. Leave it at the club house or at Temple Market. The workers give their time. If y u can’t do that, please give a little wood. Split it fine, leave it in chunks, or in large pieces to be used in a heater. Cutting this week was done by Mesdames Guy Massey and Then. Davis. Masdames R. H. Herring, M. J. Sexton, J. C. Debnam, Fos ter Young and Jack Terry sewed. Mrs. Grady Doyle Christens Ship Mrs. Grady R. Doyle of Balti more. Maryland, wife of G. C. D • so- nerlv of Zebulon, chris ten . d the S. S.

Renas Raleigh, February 3 Because of the reported misbelief that the 120 red ration points recently validated in advance for direet from-farm pork purchases is a “bonus,” OPA has emphasiz'd that the special validation was in the nature of an “accommodation loan” against the future. "The intention,” an OPA state ment says, “was to permit house holders to ‘borrow’ against next March and April stamps, if they had the opportunity of making farm purchases when the supply of country slaughtered meat was at its peak.” Stamp AH through MR, OPA continued, will begin to come into regular use* February 27 for meats, fats and cheese in retail stores and will continue in April. Household ers, therefore, should anticipate their needs for “red stamp” foods during the 10 weeks these stamps will normally be valid and should not spend all of them, OPA ad vised. KEEP DOWN FIRES Forest farmers! All of you know that wood and forest products are playing an important part in our drive toward victory, but no sin gle foot of wood that bums in the forest can help supply this need. Take care that uncontrolled fires do not get into your woods. Don’t let your carelessness with fire aid the Axis. ofc-jsJI m 13KKF Volume 20. No. 25 Gil! Speaks On 'Nothing To Do' January 28. 1944 Irby Gill had the program, his subject “Nothing tc Do.” Irby handled his subject well. He stated that any one who was in good health and had noth ing to do was pathetic. As much ai- there is to do for every one, yet one says he has nothing to do. Irby stated that this person had never interested himself or her self in learning to do something and enjoy doing it. The time al lotted to us on earth comes with the terms that we must not id ; e away the precious time watching the sun rise and set in idle thoughts; such a person is a men ace. Irby delivered his subject well in a humorous way that kept his audience laughing and was highly complimented. Dr. Jno.

Sc dal Security Workers May Be Os Help To You No matter where you work or live, you’re probably not very fur f-oni a Social Security Board field office or from one of its part-time service points. And the field office has a unique service to offer you—-completely without charge. The field office can help >ou with scores of questions and prob lems touching on your rights un der Federal old-age and survivors insurance. You may learn at the field of fice why you must have a social socuritv arc tr ( card if vou work a job covered by the Social Se nuritv Act: 1 hieh in'ps are not “covered” (most jobs in pri vo e industry are covered); why your future benefit rights mav endangered by having more than nr>n pomnl securit” number; and wist how much Ih'd httle “paste board” may eventually mean to yon r vour family. You mav learn what 'cannons to the social security contribution" which vour employer d°du Is from your pay rind how that money is safe uiarded in the U. S. Treasury. Ts you are wonderinng about ■ much vour monthly insurance "benefits will be when v u retire t 65 or later, the field office man • or can beln you figure it nut n than 60 seconds. Tn 60 sec ond 1 move he can tell you- tenta tively of course, how much you • im end children might receive each month in case of your death v mi • actual benefits will depend <>n the length of time you work and the amount of pay you re eeivo in covered employment. The field office will heln you cheek on your social security ac count. in which is r carded all the wages vou have received from obs covered by the Federal in surance sv c tom. Ts v u wish, you will be given a card (Form 700-v) for mailing to Baitimo’-e. whore ocial security wage accounts are ’ not. Within a few days vou will receive a statement of all wages recorded in your account. Ts the e anv error in the statement, 10l the field office know immediato 'v so it can bo corrected. The rec ord of y ur wages in ver ■ v d eeurify account is important be cause it is used in fi uri"<• v benefits when they are done. “When to file” for monthly r< tirement payments is a question • ■hi h frequently concerns older workers who are not certain about the most advantageous time to claim their benefits. The man - - ger of the local Sociay Security office can heln find the answer and also help in filing the rlai/ ■ i He also helps many a widow w.th problems involved in c’aimmg j benefits for herself ■ for het children. If your boy or ri 1 is planning 'o w rk part-ti oe. they may get i information on when it is neces- ; sary or not necessary -to apply 1 for social security account card, how to safeguard it: and why it is important to have mlv one o cial security account t n ■ 1 p ing an entire lifetime. Alth ugh concern'd only with old-age and survivors insurance, local office managers have ans vvers to many questions on the, differences between uneinp’oy •' "nt insurance and old-age and survivors insurance. They can di rect unemployed workers to the proper office to apply Ur out-of work benefits. Every person in doubt about Ins or her right to old-age and sur vivors insurance benefits should visit the local field office. Some times young widows, aged par ents, and orphans do not know they are elegible for benefits and delay in filing their claims. If there is a field office in your city, you can get its address from your local telephone directory. It is listed “U. S. Government, Social i Security Board.” If you live too far from a field office to visit it in person, write for the informa tion you wish.
