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.

Qualifies For Dean's List At Wake Forest Donald Edwaild Perry, son of Mr. and Mrs. William D. Perry Jr. of Hertford, Rt 1, has qualified for the spring semester dean's list at Wake Forest University. Perry is a rising senior at the university, , A I 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? Funeral Services Held For Infant Son Funeral kervces for the day old infant son of Joseph Cortex and Mrs. Aiie Oneida Copeland Temple of nt. 2, Tyner, who died Saturday morning in the Albemarle Hospital, were held Saturday afternoon at 5:30 in the Happy Home Church Cemetery with the Rev. Eula Harrell officiating. The casket pall was made of white and blue pom poms & baby's breath. Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Miss Betty Ann Temple and Miss Oneida Hope Temple: two brothers, Joseph C. Temple, Jr. and Alvin Ray Temple; his maternal grandparents, Mr. : and Mrs. E.D. Copeland all of Route 2. Tyner; and his paternal grandmother, Mra. Eula Temple of Virginia Beach, Va. : Swindell Funeral Home was In charge of arrangements. ; Charles Skinner Attends Conference ; Charles T. Skinner, Jr. ! Perquimans County Fire Marshal attended a Virginia Highway Safety Conference but Friday in Virginia Beach. The Conference was concerning Debris and Hazardous Material Control and Cleanup on high ways. Information was given on Iwntainer cargo, over the road IrSnsport of hazardous naterials, responsibilities of ire, rescue, and police per sonnel on the scene of highway cjrash-incidenta. , I i;4,r '.., I 3 W i ::.::: 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 (Continued oft Pgt ; .v Pvt RJC.
