Plane Crashes In Forced Landing
Yesterday Hear Town Of Warsaw
Two Occupants Received Pain
ful But Not Serious Injury;
Given First Aid At Home of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Costin.
. BY MRS. STACY BRITT
A "Douglas Dauntless", Naval
torpedo bomber, from the Marine
Base at Cherry Point was forced
down about two miles south-east
of Warsaw, on the farm of George
Bennett, about 8:30 Thursday mor
ning, with only painful injuries to
the- crew of the badly '". damaged
plane.
The plane, piloted by. Captain
R. W. Zabal, USMCR, of Milwau
kee, Wisconsin and Sgt. J. H. Pai
sley, of St Louis, Mo., was on a
routine training flight from Cherry
Point to Knoxvllle, TennT, when a
leaking oil pressure valve caused
a forced landing. In the process of
landing the plane struck a fence
and turned up-side-down, burying
the two cockpits deep into the
ground.
Joe Lee and- Nathan Costin,
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Costin,
and 'James H. Gillespi, colored
who were working in a field near
by, rushed to the scene of tha ac-
" cident and finding the two menJ
" alive began digging them out with
shovels and spades amid the run
ning oil. When unearthed both
i Marines were found to be badly
shaken up and suffering slight
bruises and shock. Immediately
they were taken to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Costin where first
aid was rendered and by telephone
contacted their home base. Marine
Officials immediately dispatched a
plane to Clinton in which to re
turn Captain Zabel and Sgt. Pai
sley to Cherry Point.

HOW SOCIAL SECURITY
ACCOUNT NUMBERS
RELATE TO BENEFITS
More than 1,742,900 men and
women in the State of North
Carolina now have social security!
account cards. In the years to
come, many of these workers will I
reach the age of 65, retire fromj
their jobs and claim payments of,
old-age insurance. Others will
die, leaving dependents who are
entitled to benefits under the So
cial Security Act. Every wor
ker wants to be sure that he will
get the right insurance checks
when he grows old, or that his
family will receive the right
checks in the right amount, if he
dies.1
N. A. Avera, Manager of the
Wilmington office said today that

He explained that an individual
account is kept for each worker
whose name appears On the books
of the Social Security Board. The
worker's name and a number that
is assigned to him by the Board
are printed at the top of his led
ger sheet and also written on re
co:d cards that are kept on file.
Mr.' Avera -stressed the fact
that wage data must be accurate,
because .the amount of benefits to
be paid to each qualified claimant
is based on a wage record. That
is why the Social Security Board
takes extra precaution to safe
guard Jhe social security account
of every wage earner listed on its
books. It is also the reason why
every employer subject to the law
must Include in his social security
quartely tax reported to the Gov
ernment the name, the social se
curity account number, and the
wage earnings of each worker he
employs. But before the employ
er can include this data in his re
port, he must have the informa
tion himself. Therefore the em
ployee must make sure that his

summoned to appear before the
