Highway commission announced that
checks totalling $6,477,457.37, were
to be mailed Tuesday to the 407
eligible municipalities participating
in the allocation of Powell Bill
funds, including Carrboro, Hillsboro
and Chapel Hill in Orange County.
The Powell Bill, passed by the
General Assembly in 1967, author
izes the setting aside of a half-cent
[from the regular «slx' cent tax on
each gallon of gasoline, in an effort
to aid municipalities in the main
tenance of non-system streets. Al
location of the funds is made pro
portionately to the eligible munici
palities, half on the basis of pop
ulation and half on the basis of
relative non-system mileage.
The commission announced these
allocations:
Carrboro, 1950 population, 1,795;
5.39 miles of non-system afreets;
check, for $6,346.77.
Hillsboro, 1950 population 1,329;
6.13 miles of non-system streets,
check for $5,705.
Chapel Hill, 1950 population 9,
177; 28.07 miles of non-system
streets; check for $32,689.53.
When the turnback moneys are
not sufficient to cover cost of pro
grammed work, municipalities oft
en make up the difference with
tegular city funds.
In another Carrboro note, the city
recently completed construction of
f gravelled road to furnish exit ac
ces for the town’s new elementary
school.

and watef heating, as well as oth
er eldctric service, is supplied

C. E. Scott, manager of the Duke
Power Company here, said today
that “the low heating rate is the
result of wide public interest in
electric house heating and the de
sire of the company to provide an
economy rate for the increasing
numbers of home owners in the
Piedmont Caroiinas favoring the
safety, convenience, and efficien
around electric weather condi
tion for indoors."

More Interest Noted
Chapel Hill Attorney Heads
State's UN Week Observance
Several years ago, while a mem
ber of the armed forces. Attorney
Jack Lasley of Chapel Hill says,
"something clicked. I saw the need
for something to take the place of
armed force as a supreme arbiter."
Today, Mr. Laslcy, a longtime
and ardent supporter of the United
Nations, is chairman of "United Na
tions Week” In North Carolina. The
observance is scheduled Oct. 19-24.
And Mr. I>asley is openly opti
mistic of Its success, especially in
light of the sumber of towns in
dicating participation in this
year’s event.
“We have twice as many towns
participating, where the mayors
have appointed local committees
during the week." Pulling out a
red-dotted map of North Carolina,
he estimated that between one and
one-and-a-lialf million people in ilio
slate will be involved in the ob
servance this year.
Mr. Lasley says tiie current show
of ' interest is further indication qf
a changb in attitude among Caro-'
linians and Americans.
"No longer do people' say that 'the
UN Is not perfect, let s throw it
out,* ” he says. “Now they are say
ing, “ ‘the UN is not perfect, let's
lix it.’ ” *
1$e upsurge of interest was mani
fested in Chapel Hill omy last year,
Mr. Lasley noted. He said that
wliereas in the past booths handing
out UN literature did little business
on "UN Day," Oot. 24, last year all
materials in tile booth were gone
I by mid-afternoon.
| The state chairman sees the UN
“filling a void between our submis
sion to force.’’
Purpose of the “week,” Mr. Las
ley said, is to garner public sup
port for the international agency
and its peaceful ideas. "The UN
can’t live by itself ... it must have
the public's backing. And If they
can have a wee* to sell hot dogs,
why not one to sell peace.’’

these major projects are done they
plan to furnish their home in the
| Colonial style.

New Changes
In Security
Law Are Noted
The new 1958 amendments to the
Social Security Act, signed into law
by the President on August 28. made
several major changes and modified j
many provisions of the Act.
Mrs. Nina H. Matthews, District
Manager of the Durham Social
Security Office, pointed out that
practically all employed, self-em
-PlomL and -employers.. Ja Orange
County will be effected by the in
crease in the earnings base from
♦4SQfMe ttflOOperyear and by the -
new schedule of contribution rates
which go into effect on January 1, j
;P59
Tlie recent amendments provided
for a significant 7 per cent increase
(average i in benefit paynujnts.
Orange County recipients, now^num
bering about 1700 will receive over
$82,400. per month in retirement,
survivor and disability benefits. No
applications will be required. Those
beneficiaries presently on the rolls I
v ill automatically receive their in- f
creased payments in their January
checks which will arive on or about
February 3. Numerous inquiries will
cnly serve to slow 'down the pro
cesing of other applications which
will be required.
A major change in the disability
provisions. Mrs. Matthews ex
plained. is that beginning with Sep
tember of this year dependents of
disabled beneficiaries will be eligi
ble for benefits paralleling those of
dependents of the regular old age
bt ncficiaries, •
The amendment further liberalized
future provisions of the disability
tequirements. Several changes will
immediately affect many Orange
County families and disabled in
dividuals. A modification of work
requirements for disability insur
ance benefits and the freeze, repeal
of the disability offset provision, i
retroactive payments of disability
insurance benefits for as many as
welve months, and extension of the
June 30, 1958 deadline for filing re
troactive disability freeze applica
t:ons will now -make many disabled
persons eligible. , Also, many who
previously made application for dis
ability benefits or for the freeze
and were found to be ineligible i
might now be able to meet the new
requirements.
Orders for pine seedlings should
be placed now.
