Page 8 Social Security Pays $272,350 In County (Continued from page 1 estimate. This has been small; lumpsum payments to workers Jn covered employment since January 1, 1237, and who have since reached 66 years of age and quit work, or to the families of such workers who have died since that date. The importance of this part of the program will be more apparent now, since payments have started on a monthly basis, as provided in an amendment by Congress in Au gust, 1939. With an estimate in this one small item of $2,625.00 going to 73 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER workers or their families through October, and practically accurate figures in the other four divisions, it is apparent that just about $249,175 has been distributed in Haywood county in these five ma jor divisions. In the other five divsions, classed as "services," a proration indicates fthat about $23,175 has been distributed in this county since the program started, divided approximately as follows: Maternal and child health services, $4,135.00; services for crippled children, $3,475.00; child welfare services, $2,790.00; vocational re habilitation, $1,775.00; and public health work, $11,000.00.

Dead Rats Picked Up By The Peck . (Continued from page 1)- and United States Biological Sur vey. John D. Faulkner, consultant engineer of typhus control of the State Board of Health, and L. C. Whitehead, of the United States Biological Survey, with A. W. Wilson and H. II. Plemmons, of Sylva assisted by a trained per sonnel of workers were in charge of the placing of the bait. Mr. Faulkner pointed out that it was from a standpoint of healtk that both the United State Bio logical Survey and the State Board of Health were active in the rat eradification campaigns, which are being sought by communities throughout the country. "Rat poisoning is not a perma nent solution of the rat problem. It takes eternal vigilance about a place to keep and stay rid of the rat," said Mr. Faulkner when asked if the present campaign would elim inate the pests from the community. Mr. Faulkner urges the citizens to co-operate in the campaign after the bait has been put out by get ting rid of all trash in which rats would find harborages, to keep all food protected, and to keep a lid on all food scraps or garbage cans, as the rat must have something to feed upon. Mr. Faulkner stated that rats like human beings have certain food preferences and that the ob ject in having the poison mixed with both fish and meat is because a rat in some instances will eat one kind, when he will refuse to nible at the other food. Mr. Faulkner also pointed out that the number of dead rats found did not give an accurate number of those exterminated, as in many cases a rat sought his harborage, which has two openings, and would crawl in out of sight to die, and would not be found. Special Pieces plates and other premium pieces, should buy meat platters, bowls to complete their set. Orders being taken for. these. S Sorry to discontinue the china, but W Jf rising prices make this necessary. Your cooperation appreciated. Thank you. C. E. KAY'S SONS ana J 1. Where Prices and Merchandise II raC!6 Right. 2.

This project has as its objective the adjustment and enrichment of lives and the helping of North Carolina in the conservation of her human re sources. In Haywood County, from 1936 to 1939 this project taught 1,013 people to read and write and to take part in community ac tivities.
