Hopkins appeared be fore the United States House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee on behalf of employees of small communities and asked that Social Security benefits be extended to cover these employees. Willie B. went to Washington Saturday and returned Tuesday. Pointing out that the state re tirement system for municipal employee costs too much for small town governments (towns must pay six per cent of the employee’s salary, while employees must con tribute four per cent), Hopkins declared: “We small town fo’ks believe that we are being unjustly treat Mr. Dement, “will be disced into the soil before sowing to alfalfa ■ and grass in September.” A part of this field is too steep for row i crops while the remainder is in a natural drainage basin so he is . sowing it to this hay crop. This : two acres of permanent hay should . furnish from four to six tons of . much needed hay on the farm. Mr. T. P. Baker and Mr. B. B. Baker of near Wendell have sown spring oats and lespedeza as a summer crop in a meadow to be disced and sown to orchard grass and ladino clover in September. These meadows will be used as disposal areas for water from ter races as well as a source of hay. The above mixture may be cut twice a year. Many other farmers are sow ing meadows as a necessary part of a good water disposal system. They facilitate the use of tractor farming or they may be crossed with power equipment by raising whatever machinery is being used. ed by being refused th e same So cial Security as workers in pri vate enterprise. We work just as hard as they do, and very often stay on our jobs longer than they do. Yet, our federal government has seen fit to count us out on old-age assistance. We are the ! kind of workers that risk our lives | in public service as firemen and ; policemen and in water works, | electricity and many other dan i gerous jobs, most of us work on a 12-hour day basis and feel that our government should give , us the right to know that we can at least be taken care of when we are too old to be of any further l service to our town governments.” Zebulon, N. C., Friday, April 15, 1949 Wake Rat Drive Said Successful By County Agent By John Reitzel The Wake County Rat Campaign Program which was conducted on March 29, 30, and 31 was one of the most successful campaigns ever conducted in the county. This campaign was put on through the cooperation of the Wake County Public Health Department, the Vocational Teachers of Agricul ture, the Extension Service, and other agricultural agencies. The bait was distributed through 27 points throughout the county and it was the whole-hearted coopera tion of all the persons working with the distribution program that accounted for a very successful program. Mr. H. E. Woodard, Supervisor of Rodent Control, with the Public Health Department, said that this was one of the most successful and far reaching programs thus far at tempted and emphasizes the im portance of continuing the rat fight throughout the year. The genera program should be follow ed up at least twice a year and the individual may find it necessary to bait in case of heavy infestation between these intervals. In carrying out the campaign approximately 10,000 pounds of mixed materials were used. This material was furnished through the Public Health Funds. The value of the campaign cannot be expressed in dollars and cents but it can be said that thousands of dollars worth of grain and proper ty will be saved along with the control of typhus fever. Thous ands of individuals throughout the county used this bait along with organized groups. Mayor R. H. Bridgers Files for Reelection Mayor R. H.
