By JANICE R. CHRISTENSEN DEEDS Men and women filing personal bankruptcy petitions in U.S. Middle District Court, which includes Greensboro and Winston-Salem, are being required to attend a school on money management. Classes arc taught by Robert Suggs, Greensboro, permancnl trustee for the Corut. and Mrs. Kathryn Reese, home economics Extension agent. Guilford County. During the two-hour session, debtors are given suggestions on how to budget and arc warned against easy credit and installment buying. How effective the classes will be won't be known for several years. Those attending classes are forbidden, under court orders, to buy anything on the installment plan up to three years without the permission of the court. ? ? ? The litter, along a two-and-a-half mile stretch of highway in Montgomery County, filled 49 garbage bags. At the time they decided to work on the clean ? up project, members of the BelforU Community near Candor, didn't realize what a big job they were undertaking. "Each can or bit of paper in itself seems harmless, but it rapidly accumulates into a messy, unsightly problem," Mrs. Ed Ewing, a 4-H leader, told Laura Odom. assistant home economics Extension agent. ? * * An Extension Homemakers program "Equipment for the Handicapped," proved useful to Mrs. Hugh Farrior. Greenville. A few days after the lesson, her sister-in-law came to the Farrior house to recupeiate from back surgery. Mrs. Farrior had a bedside assist made for her sister-in-law. The assist, attached to the bed rail, is used by the patient to help pull herself up and out of bed. Mrs. Evelyn Spangler, assistant home economics Extension agent, Pitt County, explains The patient was pleased to have something that enabled her to help herself, thereby making her less dependent on . others, the agent adds. There seems to be a fever running through Warren County and that fever is for better housing. During the past two years. 63 new houses have been built in the county and other dwellings have been remodeled through cooperation between families and the Farmers Home Administration and Agricultural Extension Service. Other houses have been built and improved with aid from other sources as well, Mrs. Bertha Forte, home economics Extension agent, notes. Oatmeal boxes and half gallon milk cartons arc for the birds, according to Donald and Ronald Langdon, Benson, Rt. 3. The boys, sons of Mrs. Nancy Langdon, used their imagination to design bird houses out of these discarded containers. The 4-H'ers cut a hole in the side of the containers for small birds to enter. To make the boxes waterproof and to give them a wood design, they used contact paper to cover the boxes. The Langdon boys are anxious to put up their bird houses next spring to see if any birds make their homes in the boxes, Mrs. Patricia Brown, assistant home economics Extension agent, Johnston County, adds. ? * * Fifty seven young Cleveland County girls are wearing new dresses to school, thanks to an Extension clothing w%>rkshop. Only 14 of the 57 girls had made a dress before. The majority of them had never used a machine or cut out a garmet, Jessie Ann Wingo, home economics Extension agent, notes. The girls, and their mothers, too, were proud of the results, the agent observed. Most of the girls were 10 and 11 years of age. August 20 may well be remembered as the day a nut tress fell on main street in Elizabet htown. Here's the story: Following an Extension mattress making workshop, Mrs. Louise Tyson, tied the mattress flie ha-1 made on the top of her car to <*arrv it heme. It blew off the car in the middle of town creating quite a VOTE - Mrs. Ruth Mc.Vair casts her ballot in Raeford One Tuesday in the GeneraElection. A total oj 1,614 persons voted in the county, the lowest total recorded for an off year fction.

It look a SI.3 ? million bridge to replace the old side wheel barge that labored acorss the Arkansas River 40 miles upriver from Little Rock, the National Geographic Society says. No one is quite sure how the ferry got its name, but it had conveyed people, horses, mules, and automobiles for 150 years. Many other ferries aiound the country stubbornk refuse to become vanishing Americana. In Guion. Arkansas, a few years ago. the townspeople raised part of the money ti buy a new six ? car ferry foi the White River by selling pies cakes, and barbecued meats ai socials. Small cable ? drawt ferries once were important in Arkansas, and the fern maker was a man of stature. More than 40 years ago. j ferryman named Hoover operated a little tin ? and plank vessel on an O/ark stream.

HELD REPRtSFNTATIVr tayettcville Social Security Office How disabled does one have to be to qualify for disability benefits from Social Security? When Social Security started out. it foresaw making payments upon retirement. Later, survivor's benefits were included, and finally disability benefits. Social Security benefits to disabled persons have been payable since July 1957, but there is still misunderstanding as to just how disabled one must be to be eligible to receive payments based upon disability. Well, how disabled do you have to be? To qualify, the disabled worker must have a disability which is expected to last for at least one year. And the disability must be severe enough to keep the worker from engaging in substantial gainful employment. A lot of words which boiled down mean that if the disabled person is able to work and earn SI40 per month, he is not considered to be severely enough disabled to qualify. W'liat are the types of conditions which are generally considered to be qualifying ones? 1. Loss of major functions of both arms, both legs or a leg and an arm. 2. Progressive diseases which have resulted in the loss of a leg or which have caused the leg to become useless. 3. Severe arthritis to the extent that the ability to get about or use the hands is severely limited. 4. Diseases of heart, lung or blood vessels which despite medical treatment, results in breathlessness, pain or fatigue. 5. Diseases of the digestive system which cause severe malnutrition, weakness and anemia. 6. Serious loss of function of the kidneys. 7. Cancer which has not been controlled or cured. 8. Damage to or abnormality of the brain with severe loss of judgement, intellect, orientation or memory. 9. Mental illness resulting in marked limitation of activities and interest, deterioration in personal habits and seriously impaired ability to get along with other people 10. Total inability to speak, see or hear. For futher information on disability benefits, please telephone us at 483-2661 in Fayetteville AMC Has New Boss , WASHINGTON (ANF) ?
