The Dial Press, N.Y. She lived through slavery. The Civil War. The Civil Rights Movement. She lived to be 110. Yet she never lived at all—except as a typical slave of the Old South. A pure ly fictitious character. Such it the story of Jane Pittman, as told by Edward J. Gaines in Tig Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitt man, "Go down, Moses, 'way down in Egypt land, T ell old Pharaoh to let my people go," Old Pharaoh in this case is the white man of yesterday ( the Civil War), and alto, the white man of today (the Civil Rights Movement.) Moses is typified by Abraham Lincoln with the first emancipation proclama - tion, and alto, by Martin Lu - ther King, who died for the ne gro's second freedom. In be tween were leaders of lesser stature to inspire the negro * onward. ; Mist Jane was one of the - lesser leaden, working humbly behind the scenes to free her race. Hex life spans a century s of change that unfolds her griefs, triumphs, and above all, her enduring courage. The author first depicts Jane as a slave girl of nineteen yean on a Southern plantation, forced ' to serve water on the same day during the Civil War to both retreating Confederate troops and attacking Union aoldiexs. From there he takes her through the war yean, the period of Reconstruction, her additional life on the plantation, and her participation in the birth of the 1973 Scouting activities by s ponsoring a Skating Christmas Party with Brownie Troop #B6. 'They call it that Good Ole Mountain Do. " As most local Girl Scouts know, in July 1974 Pisgah Girl Scout Council will be hostessing 66 visitors from across the United States and three foreign countries for a National Girl Soout event known as I'A Good Ole Mountain Do." During the time these visitors will be visiting in the Pisgah Girl Scout Council, a day of picnicking is planned in the Yancey County area. Some of the other highlights of activi - ties for this event include dan cing at John C. Campbell Folk School (and maybe roasting a pig!) and storytelling visits from several of the students who wrote and researched The Foxfire Books,, For Girl Soout Week(Maich 9th - March 16th) this year, it will be a "do your own thing" affair. Troops are being askeef* to come up with their own ideas of me aningful activities to celebrate the 62nd birthday of Girl Scouting. Yancey's tentative "do your own thing" plans include a family night dinner for all Girl Scouts and their families to get together. Sounds delicious and like fun! Support Girl Scouts.

We appreciated the food, flow ers and cards and the friends who visited during our time of sorrow. —Mis. Charlie Briggs Civil Rights Movement. Through it all Jane remained a bulwark of strength to support those who faltered. Made recently into a show for television, this novel will , long be remembered. After j watching and hearing Jane with I her rasping voice, poor eye- j sight, and shuffling gait at the I age of 110, the viewer is ready I to agree with Milton who wrote!

Social Security Questions And Answers By D. H. Butler , Field Representative Q. Because my son, who's 21, had worked for 2 years at low wages when he became se verely disabled last year, he gets a small social security dis ability payment. Since I'm going to be 65 and retire within a couple of months, could my son get higher payments on my work record? A. He may be able to. When you apply for retirement bene fits, you can also apply for benefits for your disabled son. He will get the higher of the two benefits—either the month ly benefit based on his own work record or a monthly chs:k based on your work record.
