'We know there is a need in
the area", he declared, "and
providing such training would
aid a "lot of peole useful and
valuable to the area."
Skinner said funds to assist in
such a project are available "if
we Just go after them."
Mrs. Ricks spoke briefly on
architectural barriers, citing
problems -persons in
wheelchairs and certain braces ,
encounter In buildings. "Put
yourself in a wheelchair for a
month and you'll have a dif
ferent view," she said.
She lamented the fact ar
chitects and builders have not
abided by State regulations
which require construction of
public buildings to provide easy
access to wheelchair victims.
Consequently, she sought and
obtained approval of a motion
enllsint AADA's assistance in a
10 county survey of public
buildings erected since
December of 1967 when the N.C.
Building Code became ef
fective. .
This code calls for regulations
making public buildings ac
cessible to handicapped persons
in wheelchairs and such.

Key To Prompt
SS Compensaton
There is a special key to
prompt payment of Social
Security retirement benefits.
That key is early preparation
for filing your claim. While the
actual processing of a claim
requires only a short time,
sometimes a longer period is
needed to get the necessary
evidence to suppport your
claim, By beginning early to
gether thia evidence every
claimant ' can save time and
frantic last minute efforts.
The types of evidence needed
depend on a number of factors
such as whether the person Is
employed or self-employed, ;
whether there is an original
birth certificate or an ac
ceptable substitute available,
whether there are dependents
Piling claims or not.,
Those people who expect to
retire in the next six months
should phone the nearest social .
security office and discuss the
evidence needed in their par
ticular case. Then they will
ha ve plenty of time to gather up
the needed items and be ready
to speed their claim through
when it is filed.

Bonner ECicks;
Off Campaign
Jordan Bonner, a candidate
for the House of Represen
tatives from the First
Congressional District, of
ficially kicked-off his active
campaigning in the twenty-one
First District counties with a
press conference at his
headquarters in Hertford on
Monday. July 17, 1972.
A question and answer period
was held where Bonner gave
positive answers to the
questions of the press. The
questions were as follows:
1. What do you think you can
do for the First District that's
not being done now?
Answer I feel that I am young
and energetic and that my
enthusiasm for the needs of
the people of the First
District will allow me to
sincerely dedicate my life to
the real needs, the basic
needs, of the people of this
District. One example would
be the Columbia water
system going unfunded while
Hertford received a 100
percent grant for its water
tank. Columbia should have
' received enough money to
begin construction on their
desperately needed water
system with others waiting
until higher priorities had
been taken care of.
2. What makes you think you
have a better chance to beat
Walter Jones, when men like
John East, Reese Gardner, and
Frank Everett failed?
Answer I mink that in the past
the Republican candidates
were not well known and
were not identified with the
Democratic masses, where
as my family served the
Democratic party and the
District in Congress for forty
(40) years. The National
Democratic Party no longer
reflects the interest of the
people in the First District or
in the state. Today's leaders
must meet the challenge of
this change so that our people
. can be properly represented
on a national level. The
Democrats can identify with
my name. They do realize the
reason I am running on the
Republican ticket is that "the
Republican Party has the
only answer and is the only
political vehicle that can take
the Forgotten majority out of
their unhappy state."
3. Do you have an aspirations
for the First District?

::.:::
I
Answer Yes. The first thing on
my priority list is to get the
roads that everbody else has
been promising. As you know
we ha ve been promised roads
after roads and Eastern
North Carolina pays SO
percent of the state highway
taxes. Fifty percent;-
eighty-five percent - for
building roads come from the
Federal government. As
Congressman of the -.First
District I will demand: the
roads we have been paying
for I feel once we gel
these roads it will benefit
everybody. The farmers will
be able to get their produce
to market and get better
prices.
4. Isn't this a priority of the
state government? y
Answer It has always been a
priority of the state govern
ment in the Piedmont and
mountains. With so much of
the money for construction of
roads coming from : the
Federal government, ! think
a Congressman could put
pressure on the state
government as far as the
amount of money being
allocated for road con
struction. '
5. This being a low income
area how do you plan to raise
the standard of living?
Answer I believe the highways
will do this by bringing more
industry and jobs into the
area because the materials
could be moved quicker.
Poor roads have always been
the drawback for industry
moving into the area.
6. What do you think of the
McGovern platform?
Answer I feel the promises of
the McGovern platform
cannot be achieved without
higher taxation. : The
government cannot spend
more on programs without
higher taxation on the
people. It's trend toward
Isolationism will cause
higher inflation by cutting
free trade, and competition
of products.
7. How do you stand on
national defense?
Answer I believe " by en-
courging our allies to build
stronger defense systems
within their own country, we
would cut our troop com
mitments, and instead
establish a strong, well-paid,
small volunteer army backed
by well-trained reserves.
, 8. What is your stand on
amnesty?
Answer It would be-':a very
difficult situation fwj Meto
give amnesty to people' bo
in my opinion committed
treason against':".' their
