Farm Life Defeats

errors of his teammates, the Farm
Life lads turned back the Martin
All-Stars here last Wednesday eve

Playing the locals in a post-season

their hits just out of the infield for

Happenings In The
Bear Crass School
By BESSIE HARRISON
Saturday morning, Sept. 20th, the
seniors of Bear Grass school spent
an enjoyable day as guests of the
University of North Carolina.
We left the school building about
7 o'clock and arrived in Chapel Hill
around 11:00. Since it was not time
to ?at dinner, we inspected part of
the campus, received our footbull
tickets and watched some band pa
rades. After dinne*- we inspected the
gymnasium, swimming pool, and
other large buildings. We, also, had
the pleasure of st?eing some British
sailors who were guests of the Uni
versity. They, like many of us, saw
their first football game.
At 3:30 we went to the Kenan Sta
dium to see the Carolina and Lenoir
Rhyne football game. It was very
hot in the sun, but we enjoyed the
game just the same. We left before
game was over so that we could re
turn by Atlantic Christian College
of Wilson and see three of our Bear
Grass graduates who are in school
there?Harry Wynne, Ronald White
and Elbert Harris. Ronald and El

end, and we only saw Harry. We vis

Remind Workers
To Cheek Social
Security Records

er ami Family Uepeml
I |ion \\ atie Credits

A reminder to workers that they
should check on the Social Security
Board's record of their wages for
1937 before the end of this year was
issued today by Mr. Marshall H. Bar
ney. manager of the Rocky Mount
Social Security office. He explained
that the law limits the time during
which any errors or omissions in re
ports of employees' wages can be
corrected in the board's records on
the basis of evidence furnished the
board by the employee. The time
allowed, he stated, is four years af
ter the end- of the year in which
wages were received.
That means, Mr. Barney explained
that if-an employee checks with the
board on his wage record and finds
that the amount reported for him
for the year 1937 was incorrect or in
complete, he can, up until the end
of 1941, get any necessary adjust
ment made by submitting proof of
the correct amount to the Social Se
curity Board. For 1938 wages, he
has until the end of 1942, and so on.
The Social Security board invites
a check-up every year, Mr. Barney
said, and any worker with a social
security account can get a statement
of the amount of wages credited to
his account by asking for it. This he
can do by letter or by sending in a
wage inquiry card which he can get
at the nearest social security office.
On the card of in his letter the work
er must give his name, address, so
cial security account number, and
dale of birth. The card is already ad
dressed to the Social Security Board,
Baltimore, Mil., the central office!
where wage records are kept
In reply to the worker's request,
he fr iU roooi v?v-m a scaled em olope,
a statement of his wages as shown
on the Social Security Board's rec
ords. If he feels certain that the
amount of wages shown on this state
ment is incorrect, for the year 1937
or any other period, the Social Se
curity board office at Rocky Mount
stands ready to help him clear up
the matter.
A worker's social security account
is the record of his wages as report
ed by his employer, Mr. Barney
pointed out. When errors occur in
the record they may be due to omis
sion of the worker's account number,
perhaps a transposition or jumbling
of the figures in the number, per
Ilcl|'a U 11 iiaa|ii i ??i uiin t 1111.-> vcs i\i, a
in the worker's name, or to other
causes. When a correction is asked
for, the Social Security board checks
up its own records and the employ
er's wage reports, and if it does not
find an error there, calls upon the
plover or the worker for the in
formation necessary to adjust the
matter.
'As insurance benefits for the
worker and his family depend upon
his wane credits," Mr. Barney says,
"the Social Security board invites the
worker to check up from year to
year on the amount of his wage cred
its, because if there is an error the
sooner it is caught the easier it is to
make the correction."
