' Under the new’ law, $r is withheld j for each $2 earned from $1,20 n ’o 1 $1,700, ‘and one dollar* is witln. id > for each dollar earned over $1,700. This means that undf r the new j law a person eligible for social i security benefits may earn up to $1,700 and receive mere in total earnings and benefits than under the old law. Os course, for each $1 earned over i withheld in benefits. | An important part of this change, too, is that it applies to earrings for this yt ar. People who are receiving benefits asd earning $1,500 or more may get more in formation about this by inquiring at the Asheville Social Security Office at 40 North French Broad ! Avenue. - There is no change in the pro-1 vision that, regardless of how i much a beneficiary earns in a year, he will get a benefit check for any month in which he neither earns more than SIOO in wages nor performs substantial services in self-employment, or is age 72 or over. A number of widows age 62 or , older are now getting retirement , benefits based on their own work under social security. Because of ■ the chasge in the law increasing . widow’s benefits, it is possible that \ some o fthese widows now getting | monthly retirement benefits of , less than SIOO basted on their ows | work will be able to qualify for higher amounts, by applying for the widows benefits payable on their husbands’ accounts. A widow now collecting her own . retirement benefit can find out ; whether this change in the law i applies t 0 her by asking at her i nearest social security office. ] jr *•'. ] -» jrifl Ik wHmPESEIP * ... *ri mrnm JNiP i ■ ** IMm HMMioBHBWfc •wSFtß'S**’'• *““* "*V**<f% IMMOMII i i xV ' '■&< , % I ( ||Pt^ II Mm ■ Wjr % ■ ■* ■:* ilr- JKf • pBBBb IP?

Blair, Publisher, Winston-Salem, North Carolira. Mr. Murry is a landscape pain ter who has lived among and be come friends with the hard-work ing mountain people of western | North Carolina, and with keen appreciation he conveys the sub tle humor anti descriptive art of their storymaking. The tales, some of which are written in authentic mountain dialect, we'e told to the author as he traveled in the mountains painting the scenery. ’ Returning home, he wrote them j down as accurately as possible, j and after several years he accumu-I lated enough material to make j this volume possible. He lx lieves! that the mountaineers’ ability to! laugh at themselves and th; ir 1 predicaments is their saving grace- their “salt of life.”—and gives them added zest for living. The sage characters give an in sight into their uncomplicated, quiet philosophy—concern so r * themselves, their neighbors, ani mals, visitors, and the simple in cidents of daily living.

In North Carolina every fourth .person killed on the highways .ast year was a u>t or a teenagtr, according to records-; of the De partment of Motor Vehicles. - The same agency says the fight , Irgainst this “traffic disiase” is andei.iably a serious problem. But .c is a problem not without a solution. It calls for a stepping up of the low, patient, persistent assault lpon the complexity of factors /hich, acting together, produce a raffic accident. The factors themselves have been endlessly publicized by safety authorities, disregard of traffic laws, careless ness, discourtesy. Therefore, one of the most difficult barrier's con fronting great, r traffic safety is j public apathy—the failure 0 f peo ple to recognize that traffic pro .ection is a mutual responsibility for all. * It becomes a question of unre mitting importance as school bells begin to ring and streets and highways are crowded with youngsters. Under such conditions there can be n 0 tolerance of the careless, indifferent driver. Nor can there be any let up in safety ( instruction for our youngsters in the home and in their classrooms. Without a sense of personal re sponsibility none of us can be as sured that our children are safe from death and injury in traffic. This responsibility for parents means constant safety education ATTENTION I Yancey County Farmers .* - v-vV •, ’4*|«san\ >%: Let us Deliver and spread your Lime before the Fall Rush The sooner you get it on the sooner you will get results.
