Social Security Pays $8.5 Million To Lenoir - Greene in 70, Collects $12 Million from Those Still Paying In 1970 Lenoir and Greene County residents received 8.5 million dollars in month Social Security checks, compared to 6.7 million dollars in 1969. A total of 8,069 persons in Le noir County received Social Se curity benefits in the past year.

The lowest monthly amount paid to a family is $46 and the highest amount is $434.40. The amount of social security bene fits payable is determined by he number of years a worker has worked under employment or self emoloyment covered by so Congressman Urges Strong Defense Commitment; Compares Costs by L. H. Fountain It’s no secret that being pre pared for defense costs real money. As prices in general have risen over the years, so have the prices of military hard ware. In addition, the necessity for increasingly sophisticated and more complex weapons has add ed greatly to the taxpayer’s bill. The latest report by the Gen eral Accounting Office shows that as of June 30, 1969, the De partment of Defense had 131 major weapons procurement programs underway—some near completion and some in the early stages. The estimated) final costs if all are completed, will amount to $141 billion. About half of the $40 to $50 billion spent for defense pro curement each year goes for big items such as aircraft, missiles, space boosters and satellites, ships and submarines, and tanks. The rest goes for small weapons and the thousands of things needed by our soldiers, sailors and airmen to live and work. And, of course, procurement is only about three-fifths of the total annual military cost. With such vast sums at stake, it is absolutely vital that every dollar be wisely and prudently used. Hopefully, the changes in miitary buying procedures be ing made by the Defense Depart ment wil result in {he elimina tion of waste and such things as cost overruns. Remember the C-5A cost overrun. That case involving the world’s biggest airplane is still up in the air. The weapons of World War H, even the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, seem crude and limited beside the awesome and expensive tech nology bf today. Today we have guidance systems that can take a man to the moon or a missile to a precise spot in enemy ter ritory as well as submarines that can circle the world underwater and unseen. The time and talent and ef fort of America’s best minds haye been invested in these and numerous other accomplishments to the end that America could remain strong and free. Most of the big defense pro grams have been successful and non-controversial. Some were not successful, some were even tually canceled for a variety of reasons, and some simply cost too much. Naturally public at tention focused on these failures and apparent failures. However, even in failing to attain specific objectivites, we learn much that is helpful in other ways. In any event, there is less and less room for failure today in planning, building, and buying i rial security and the amount of his earnings each yeyar. The Kinston Social Security office, located at 810 West Ver non Avenue, serves 'both Greene and Lenoir Counties. For any information regarding Social Se curity phone 527-2124. the tools to preserve American independence. There are too many urgent calls upon avail able tax dollars for meeting the unmet needs of our people here at home. In examining costs today, it’s staggering to realize that one single nuclear aircraft carrier cost $500 million — ten times as much as a carrier did in World War n. The cost of a Titan IU-C booster for launching military satellites costs $35 mil lion and is used only once. The old B-17 bomber used so successfully in World War II cost $218,000 while the B-58 costs 100 times as much and the B-l will cost even more. In the sixties America had some catching-up to do in mil tary weapons because the Rus sians had pulled way ahead. The job was done with crash pro grams that sometimes wasted money. But, we can’t afford the luxury of . crash programs any more. The Administration must see to it that the Pentagon plans ahead adequately and accurate ly. Steps must also be taken to see that we buy only what’s ab solutely vital to our defense. More defense for the dollar is what we need. Whether the final Pentagon program is similar to Mc Namara’s so-called Total Pack age Procurement or what Sec retary of Defense Melvin Laird calls New Pragmatism is not so important. What is important is whether or not it will do the necessary job. % Frosty Morn Meats Inc.
