Carteret County's Second^ Sail Tops First Catch by One Inch Social Security j LawNow Includes Farm Workers Jobs on farms are more attrac tive now that wages from regular farm employment begin to count toward old-age and survivors in surance protection through the re cent extension of the social securi ty law, according to N. A. Avera, manager of the Wilmington social security office. Local farm helpers feel more satisfied to stay on the job now that they can look forward to the same insurance protection as do workers in other fieMs ? protection against loss of income if retired after age 65 and loss of family in come if a worker dies at any age, commented Avera. The amount of this insurance protection for a tam ily ranges from $20 to $150 a month, depending on the worker's earnings and the number of de pendents in his family. Avera pointed out that farm worker coverage under the social security law is compulsory for those regularly employed by one em ployer. He stated that at the close of each calendar three - month period, farm operators must report the wages of workers meeting the employment test for regularity. "Generally speaking," said Avera, "a regularly employed farm worker is one who has worked for one em ployer a full calendar quarter and continues working for the same farmer at least 60 days in succeed ing calendar quarters. Farm work ers not meeting this test do not have their wages reported for so cial security purposes." Farm operators obtain report forms by registering with the Col lector of Internal Revenue, Greens boro, N. C. After initial registra tion the report forms are sent con tinually to tfc* farmer at the rlose I of each calendar three - month I period. Regular farm workers as well as all others in the social security pro gram may check to see if wages are reported correctly by their em ployers through use of a simple "wage statement request" card available at any social security of fice. If reported wages are found to be incorrect, the necessary action for correcting the account will be taken. Wage postings in a social security account is the basis of fu ture insurance payments. Avera cautioned farm workers to have their social security account number card on hand so their em ployer can copy the name and num ber on his wage book exactly as shown on the card. "The account number is the 'key' to future in surance benefits," said Avera, "and the same account number should be used by a worker throughout his lifetime." A regular farm worker who does not already have his social security account-number card, or who has lost his card, may get it by apply ing on an account-number applica tion form on hand at any post of fice. The completed application form should be mailed to The Soci al Security Administration, Wil mington, N. C. Avera invited those farm people interested in learning more about the social security pro gram to write for a free booklet ex plaining federal old-age and sur vivors' insurance. ' Carteret county's second sailfish of the season, a 6-foot 7-incher, was landed Sunday off Morehead City at the edge of the Gulf Stream.

Marine Calvary Gear WiD Gather Dost Elsewhere , | By Cpl. Bernie Goodrich ? Camp Lejeune ? It looks like tanks are here to stay. The final indication came a few weeks ago when the Camp Le jeune supply depot shipped out about $40,000 worth of saddles, spurs, grooming equipment and gear that was essential to a fighting mounted Marine unit in tht days of the Rough-Riders. The equipment was sent to Ports mouth, Va., where it will be put in storage. Horsemen in the Marine corps have just about faded out except for a handful stationed at outlying posts. This is just one item of stock that the supply depot has had as a reminder qf the old Corps. It was just a short while ago | that they got rid of gear left by i Lassie when he went home from the K-9 Corps after the last war. I Leashes, muzzles, collar first-aid kits and the like went out In that shipment. All that remain are a, few dog houses. There It also a little space in the vast warehouse where para chutes used to be stacked. It was those parachutes that /carried Army paratroopers into Korea earlier in the conflict Registration Continue? Approximately 85 registered Sat urday to vote Aug.

Labor Scarcity v Hampers Farmers Scarcity of labor is causing the tobacco farmer not only worry but extra-long hours of work, R. M. Williams, farm agent, reported to day. The county leaf crop is good this year, but in an effort to *ave all of it farmers are working late into the night and start their day at the break of dawn. Dry weather has cut the county's sweet potato crop, the agent con tinued. During the middle of the month' when plants should have been set, it was too dry to do so. Planting them now is late, but some farmers are putting in plants and will be able to get a small potato, Williams remarked. Watermelons are good in size, weight and flavor, he reported. Melons were bringing the farmer 90 cents a piece at the beginning of the season but have now dropped to about 25 The price is fair on cantaloupes, also. Cantaloupes, tomatoes and other garden crops are good, the agent concluded.
