Seventh Annual
Tobacco Bowl
Stock Car Racing
WINTON-SALEM, N. C.
The seventh annual TOBAC
CO BOWL festival of stock
car racing here at the quarter-mile
asphalt Bowman Gray
Stadium course has recently
been set by Race Directors
Bill France and Alvin Haw
kins for Saturday, December
31.
France and Hawkins, begin
ning their thirteenth consecu
tive season here, have sched
uled two 25-lap inverted heats
and a 150 - lap feature for
NASCAR's top modified and
sportsman stock car drivers.
Time trials to determine
starting positions have been
set for 1:30 with the first of
three events slated to the
starting green flag at 2 o'
clock, December 31.
George Dunn, Jr., of Ral
eigh will be the defending To
bacco Bowl champion, having
taken the victory last year
over a crack field of modified
and sportsman drivers and
the unique thing about Dunn's
win was the fact that he did
not lead even a full lap of the
150-lap feature.
Dunn was running third on
the final lap to Carl Bur
ns of Leaksville and Emanuel
Zervakis of Richmond. The
chain of events that follow
ed left many spectators stun
ned. Burris crashed on the fin
al lap. .Zervakis took the lead
but ran into slow traffic on
the backstretch and this en
abled Dunn to make his vic
tory move, just barely nosing
out Zervakis by half a car
length.
With no other NASCAR rac
ing activity in this area at
this time of the season. France
and Hawkins are looking for
a field of 30 or more top
drivers and anticipate an even
keener battle in this seventh
annual affair.
Past Tobacco Bowl winners
include Curtis Turner of Char
lotte in the first and sec
ond annual, Carl Burris in
the third, Johnny Dobson of
Rural Hall in the fourth, Bur
ris again in the fourth and
Dunn last year.
The first entry received for
this year's classic has come
from the pro from Stuart, Va.,
Glenn Wood. Wood has enter
ed his now famous "Backseat"
drive modified Ford, a power
ful piece of machinery that
carried Wood to four feature
wins during the regular sea
son past.
Glenn's brother came up
with the idea of mounting the
motor in the middle of the car
for center balance and even
distribution of the weight on
all four wheels. Brother Leon
ard is given credit for most
of the mechanical work on
the car.

Social Security
News
Under the changed Social
Security Law, the aged de
pendent widower of a woman
worker who died before Sep
tember 1950 can get benefits
if the woman worker, before
her death, had worked under
social security for at least
V,2 years.
To qualify for these pay
ments, the widower must have
been dependent upon his de
ceased wife for at least one
half his support AND he must
now be 65 years of age or
older. The widower must ap
ply to his social security of
fice for these benefits. Oc
tober 1960 is the first month
for which such payments can
be made. Dependent widowers
not yet 65 should ask their
social security office for in
formation about filing proof
of their dependency. The wid
owers of women workers who
died before September 1930,
must file this proof before Oc
tober 1962, to get payments
when they do reach 65.
You probably know that
when a worker covered by
social security dies, the lump
sum death benefit is paid to
the widow or widower if the
couple were living in the same
household at the time of the
death. Under the new law,
if there is no surviving spouse,
or if the husband and wife
were not living together, ar
rangements can be made for
the lump sum death benefit
to be paid to the funeral home
for any part of the expenses
that have not been paid. When
the funeral home has been
paid in full, the lump sum
death benefit may be paid as
reimbursement to those who
paid the burial expenses.
