- The people of North Carolina, have
. benefitted during the past year to the
extent of 126,719,486, which repre-
sente the national Government 8 share
in their State and local investment
in health, education and social wel
fare, according to J. E, D'Auteuil,
Field Representative, Norfolk office
of the Social Security Administra
tion. This figure , according1 to . Mr,
D'Auteuil, which was a part of a
summary released by Dr. E. R. Cat-
fey, Regional Director of the Federal
Security Agency includes payments
under the Federal old-age ana sur
vivors insurance program and Is based
on preliminary data on North Caro
lina's participation in the various
FSA programs.
"Even this substantial investment,"
Mr. D'Auteuil pointed out, "does not
tell the whole story in terms either
of people or of money, since it does
not take account of certain nation
wide FSA services which benefit every
citizen of North Carolina. These ser
vices are food and drug regulation,
services to the State's educational
system, supervision of Federal credit
unions and public health services op
erated directly by the Public Health
Service, such as quarantine and epi
demic control."
"A total of 150,360 men, women and
children in North Carolina benefitted
directly from Federal funds added to,
North Carolina's investment in health,
education, welfare, vocational .re
habilitation and social security. These
citizens received individual benefits
or services during the past year
through Federal Security Agency pro
grams operating in their , own com
munities, most of them with the co
operation of both State and national
governments."
As' for the investment of $26,-
713,486 itself, Mr. (D'Auteuil pointed
out that Dr. Coffey's summary repre
sents only the Federal share in the
partnership.
To complete the picture. North
Carolina would have to add to its own
State and local funds which its citi
sens also use for these purposes.
Only four of the major programs un
der the Federal. Security Agency are
administered entirely by the Federal
Government. These are: Old-age and
survivors insurance, food and drug
regulation, Federal credit unions, and
Federal employees' compensation. The
summary also shows that by June 30,
1949, 42,370 residents of North Caro
lina' were receiving monthly payments
under the Federal system of old-
and survivors insurance at a rate of
$62,762.. This (program provides
monthly income for workers in priv
ate Industry and commerce and their
families when the worker retires at
age 65 or later and for his family
when he dies. Monthly benefits cer
tified for payment to retired workers,
their wives and their dependent chil
dren in North Carolina during the
fiscal year 1948-49 amounted to $3,
968,000. . Monthly benefits Co surviv
ors of " inBured workers totaled $3,
666,000. '.These, payments went to
children, widowed mothers, ; aged
widows, and aged parents of deceas
ed workers. In addition, lump-sum
payments totaling $454,000 were made
to survivors who were not; immedi
ately eligible for monthly benefits. '
In this area Mr. D'Auteuil state!
that OASI monthly benefits totaled
$11,692. Of this total $7,201 was be
ing paid monthly to wage earners
who have retired from employment
and wives of such individuals, and
$4,601 to widows, children and par
ents who survived , deceased wage
earners. . , """
In making this announcement,' Ms.
D'Auteuil pointed out the necessity
of prompt filing of claims for OASI
benefits, stating that benefits under
the law could only be paid retroac
tively three months and unless claim
ants filed within that period loss of
one or more months payment might
icur.
Mr. D'Auteuil stated that in sub
mitting the summary of the year's
activities, "The benefits and services
received through the Federal Secur
ity Agency's programs by the people
of North Carolina during the past
year demonstrate the effectiveness of
State and Federal teamwork. The
Washington regional office serves
North Carolina's agencies in this
joint endeavor. It also facilitates ad
ministration of the wholly Federal
programs."
The Norfolk office of the Social Se
curity Administration is located in the
Flatiron Building. A representative
from that office is in Hertford the sec
ond Wednesday of each month at the
County Welfare office.

Do Ton Hare Heart Pain?
Americans are prone to worry about
every little heart pain, and to imagine
that they have or going to have an
gina pectoris or coronary thrombosis.
In fact they get so scared that their
very apprehension and tenseness tend
to aggravate the condition, whereas
if they remained calm and relaxed,
the pain might pass off in a mom
ent without leaving any untoward
results.
Prolonged worry or distress often
brings on pain in the heart that even
extends to the whole left side, and
may even affect the .armpit as well
as the arm.
'Doctor Thomas Fiti-Hugh, Jr., of
the University of Pennsylvania, has
written an article on the subject in
which he says that "a review of 4,000
consecutive private patient records of
the past 15 yeans showed migraine in
22 per cent. About one in every four
presents symptoms of regular attacks
of pain in heart region resembling
angina pectoris. This pain in the chest,
instead of the head, appears as a sub
stitute for the pain in the head. The
pain is most often a dull) heavy bor
ing ache in the region of the lower
part of the breast bone. Sometimes it
extends into the left arm; It. The dull
type of distress may cme and go for
days at irregular intervals. .
The jqukkest way , to 'get rid of it
is to become interested in other things.
'As a rule,jthe . pains are fleeting,
sometimes lasting for only a few tain
utee, but may test faours. . The patient
may even be seized with air . hunger.
This Inability to get a deep breath :s
alarming and uncomfortable. When the
pun is deep and stabbing, full
breath cannot be taken until the pain
pases. off. - These symptoms are us
ually ja form of migraine that attacks
the heart instead of the head, j ;
In regular, or one-sided headaches,
we are not sure of the exact cause,
but they seem to be brought on by
anxiety and worry, too much mental
or physical overwork, which produces
nerve tension, i . - .'.:.
However,' we have a very satisfact
ory treatment for migraine headaches
as follows: Ergotamine tartate, or
the breathing of 100 per cent oxygen
will in most cases bring relief." .
A point to be remembered by suf
ferers from heart pains such as have
been described is that the patient does
not sweat from agony as in true an
gina pectoris. Sufferers from heart
pains should be examined by a compe
tent physician.
