The Governor said last work he does not think there is. “sufficient demand” for a highway bond issue. There hod been hints one would lie asked for in the Legisla ture. 2. The Democratic Party, ot which the Governor is titular head, went on record last spring against any type of “new taxes”. So, when Terry Sanford used the term “conservative” in speaking of his term of office, he might have been ooking unconsciously to the future rather than uncon scionably to the past. BIG FAMILY—A few days after the long reference here to the late Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, I was reminded hat her children may have ilready set something of a record—and with many years still ahead of them. We have not been able to check on it carefully, and could be in error on the plus or minus side. If mem ■y serves correctly, however, ' nna Roosevelt has had three ’ isbands; James Roosevelt, three wives; Elliott Roose velt, four wives; John Roose ■ ‘It, one wife; and Franklin, Jr., two wives. lhat adds up to Id mates '■>r the five survivors of Mrs. Roosevelt. Only one— lohn, and the lone Republi can of the crowd—has with him the one he was first married to. But, somehow despite this, Mrs. Roosevelt will be recorded as one of the greatest women America ever produced. TOGETHER—A wrong guess by one of the Kress Stores founders about 15 years ago has resulted in a unique de velopment which could prove most beneficial to North Carolina. Nothing like the Kress art collection, of course, but good. In Raleigh once on a visit, the Kress brother observed near the Capitol a nice bit of real estate for sale. It ran completely through the block from Fayetteville Street to Salisbury. It was purchased and a handsome Kress store was established there. But it never paid off, never made money. So, in time the new building was put up for sale. Retailers were not interest ed, for the location was too Static. No traffic. All dignity. Now it has been taken o ver by the City of Raleigh for the fine old Olivia Ran v Library, which now has 80, 000 volumes. With the help if Ral :igh opt imists, move to the new building was com nleted last week. Thus Raleigh’s spanking w Olivia Raney PUBLIC Library finds itself cheek-to cheek with the huge State Library housed in the old Supreme Court Building which also quarters the State Utilities Commission. For an expense of 81,000 to $1,500, fore or less, the City of Raleigh and the State of North Carolina can have under one roof—only the cutting' of a door is neces sary—one of the most valu able libraries in the United States. H AKiJKK LU uc,i—sim-i' more and more of our cities and counties now lean heavily on whiskey taxes to balance their growing bud gets, it is becoming increas ingly difficult for us to look at alcohol with unjaundiced eye. In no other discussion does there seem to be as much predudiced opinion. But, alarmed at the teen age drinking problem, the Charlotte Observer observes that it is “apparently more severe in a heavily populated area such as Mecklenbuig County where alcoholic bev el ages are legal. This is the observation of teen-agers who live in Charlotte after formerly living in less-pop ulated ‘dry’ counties—but the difficulty of obtaining them reduces the amount of drink ing.” , NOTES—Printer’s Ink, the weekly marketing magazine, had a' report three weeks ago that Adlia Stevenson would replace Luther Hodges as Commerce Secretary With Christmas coming on i a Tuesday this year, the Christmas season is expected to be merry indeed. State employees, for example, get off at the end of work on Friday, December 21, and come back on Thursday, the 27th— Incidentally, did you know that public school teachers NEVER get a holiday—for Christmas or otherwise? Every day taken off must be made up, later in the year. In theory, then, they teach on Christmas Day—except when it happens to fall on a Sat urday or Sunday! State College alumni have no dislike for Consolidated University President William Friday—or with the Univer sity of North Carolina unit "at Chape] Hill think that Sta now old enough -and large enough (wliat a beauty, ap pro - :hing Rah ii h fro n U.

Not this y ar, of course, but possibly next— There will be two Broy hill’s in the next session of Congress, one from Virginia, the other from North Caro lina—Both are Republican— and their dads are first cousins—from Wilkes Coun ty. By D. C. Nichols Field Representative f'-ue l tllG etion ; asked i most frequently of social security people is, “What documents will I need when I file my application for social security benefits?” The required documents vary in individual cases.

Social security number for the worker and for any member of the family who is filing for benefits. 2. Proof of age for the worker, and for his wife if she is at least (12 years of age. -I. Proof of age for his children if they are under age 18, or if they are fully disabled and became fully disabled before they attained age 18. 4. Proof of the worker’s earnings in the year before the application for benefits is filed. This will be his tax withholding statement (Form W-2), if the worker is ern ployed for wages. If he is selfemployed, it will be a complete copy of his Federal income tax return, plus proof of having filed the return with the Internal Revenue Service (canceled check, money order receipt, etc., showing that the tax due was paid). Each worker, whether em ployed, will be asked to estimate the amount of his earnings for the year in which he files application for benefits. 5. Widows who are filing; claims based on the record of t h e i r deceased h u s b a n d i:d bring a copy of their marriage certificate. They should also be prepared to give complete information regarding • the dates and places of any previous mar riage of the worker or of her own. A person should not delay filing an application simply because he is unable to ob tain a certain proof.

James Beas ley. W B M T — 1350 ON YOUR DIAL FOR GOOD LISTENING ! Mrs, Coggins' Dining Room 12 M:les West of Black Mountain on Hwy. 70 Open 7 Days a Week FROM 7 AM. TO 9 P.M. Specializing In ALL GOOD THINGS TO EAT THE EMPTY STOCKING... THERE’S A MULTMVHLLION-DOLLAR “present” missing from your Christmas stocking ; this year, but it is not our fault. We tried to put it there. More than a year ago we asked permission, as present laws require, to make a deep reduction in the prices we charge for hauling grain into and within the South. These lower prices would have saved you-the people of the South-some $37 million in transportation costs this year, and every future year. This is money that belongs to you. Despite this great saving to the families of the South—to everyone who eats bread, meat, poul try, eggs—our request to lower freight charges on grain has yet to be granted. A few selfish in terests (largely waterway barge operators) who profit—at your expense—seek to keep railroad freight rates high. They have done and are doing everything possible to block us because our lower prices would reduce their high profits. But we have a duty to serve you well at the lowest pos sible cost and we will not shirk that duty. We will continue our efforts until these rates are put into effect. We’re not Santa Claus. Our lower prices will save you money—they will make money for our railroad, too. In the public interest, it is high time that we be allowed to stuff your stocking with these enormous savings in transportation costs— not just at Christmas time, but the year around!
