Mrs. William's first grade then sang "Rudolph" and "Long, Long Ago." Mrs. McNeill's first grade then recited a poem and sang two Christmas songs. The program concluded with the combined classes of Mrs. Edmonds and Mrs. Mitchell singing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." Mrs. Doris Austin, music teacher at the school, accompanied each class at the piano. The fourth grade at Scuriock gave a concert on Dec. 20, under the direction of Mrs. Doris Austin. The group sang 13 selections in all, including: "Christ Was Born in Bethlehem," "Little Lamb," "Go Tell It On The Mountain," "Deck the Halls," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Social Security Fraud Prosecuted Russell "Pete" Moore, a Cov ington (Ky.) meat dealer, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Eugene Siler to an 18 - month jail term for having de frauded the federally administered Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program out of $5,030. Moore, who had been receiving monthly SSI checks because of his disability and an alleged absence of earned income, pleaded guilty to a charge of willfully and knowingly making false statements on eli gibility forms required under the law. Administered by the Social Security Administration, SSI is designed to provide income for aged, blind and disabled persons who make little or no money. Lawton Rogers, assistant District Manager of the Fayetteville social security office, stated that persons receiving SSI are required by law to report changes in their income, resources, marital status and living arrangments so that the amount of their benefits can be adjusted accordingly. "Moore's violation was detected by an alert representative of the Covington Social Security office who learned of his meat sales activities and noted that Moore had repeatedly alleged that he had no earned income," Rogers said. "The initial evidence of this fraud was turned over to the Social Security Administration's Program Integrity Unit in Birmingham, Alabama. That office developed further evi dence sufficient to enable the U.S. Attorney's office to successfully prosecute the case. "Moore's conviction and im prisonment may appear to some to be harsh but the program has to be policed and violators prosecuted in order for these benefits to go to the persons who are eligible for them," Rogers said. "These benefits do come from general tax revenues and not from Social Security trust funds. It's getting more difficult to be a thief.' ?W1ccen|- on !?" griculhjre / ? ? 8Y JOHN SlEOGE r I N C Farm Bureau Federation For those who think food is high in this country (and it's not when you work less time to earn it than anywhere else in the world), then you need to travel around the world and check how much better off we are than others. Recently, an American livestock producer was visiting a Japanese supermarket and found a can teloupe priced for $30. That sounds almost unbelievable until you find that just a few feet away in the meat counter he found beef priced at S40 per pound, and at the bread counter, there was bread at nine cents a slice. Japan's rate of inflation is currently at ten percent and that has had a lot to do with its food prices being among the high est in the world. However, inflation is only part of the story. Japan is an island economy, about the size of California, but with a population about half that of the United States. Farmland has always been scarce, and just like in this country, it's shrinking into parking lots and buildings. The nigh price of red meat in Japan is tied to this problem because they have no wide open range, or large acreages of lush pastures, and therefore their beef raisins is very limited. This is why the Japanese eat only about eight pounds of beef per person per year, compared to our 120 pounds per person. Beef would be popular there, but price understandably keeps con sumption down as the Japanese stay with fish, poultry and soybean substitutes. Also, understandably, U.S. livestock producers would like to ship more beef into the Japanese market. Any increase in beef sales would be another boost in U.S. farm exports, which is already the largest single factor in helping correct our serious imbalance erf trade. "No doubt most cattle producers would be willing to sell at con siderably less than $40 a pound, LEGALS NOTICE OF SALE NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF HOKE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a certain Deed of Trust executed by Henry Therman Locklear and wife, Dealo Locklear to CHARLES A.
