Budd, Chairman of the
Secondary Roads Council,
commented that the
available funds "will help
expediate our secondary
roads program."
The released funds have
been apportioned for use in
all 100 North Carolina
counties and the amount
allocated for each county is
based on unpaved
secondary road mileage.

In Hertford
With the addition of Hertford, the total number of loca
tions in this state moves to 43. "This program will make an
even cleaner Hertford environment," Kelly said. "In addi
tion, aluminum recycling conserves an important natural
resource and saves energy each time aluminum is
recycled, a 95 per cent energy savings results over produc
ing alunimum from virgin ore."
Kelly pointed out that in other cities with recycling pro
grams civic clubs, church groups, charitable organizations
and schools use the Reynolds program as a worthwhile
method of raising cash for their needy projects.
Since beginning its program in 1967, the company has
paid the public about $25 million and collected in excess of
four billion all-aluminum beverage cans. In the first ten
months of this year, Reynolds collected the equivalent of 1.6
billion all-aluminum cans from the public, operating its pro-,
gram in 36 states, an increase of almost three times over
the similar period in 1974.
"We are very proud of the fact that Reynlds is redeeming
the equivalent of about one out of three cans sold by its can
division, the leading aluminum can manufacturer in the
United States," Kelly said.

Powell, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles reminds
motorists to be especially
careful over the upcoming
New Years Holidays.
Statistics for the two-day
New Year's holiday last
year showed that driving
coder the influence and
speeding were major fac
tors in traffic accidents and
fatalities. Four people lost
their lives during the
holdiay period last year and
another 223 were injured on
North Carolina streets and
highways.
More Liberal
Regulations
RALEIGH New more
liberal food stamp regula
tions going into effect on
January 1 will not only allow
North Carolinians with low
incomes to purchase more'
food from their grocers, but
more people will be able to
participate because of in
creased maximum income
eligibility standards.
The monthly amount of
food stamps a four-person
household will be allowed to
purchase will be increased
from the current $162 to
$166.
The maximum monthly
net income level for a family
of four will increase from
the present $540 to $553.
; The Federal Food Stamp
' Act requires the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
to adjust the monthly
coupon allotments every six
months to reflect changes in
food prices as published by
the . Bureau of Labor'
statistics.
Apply
' ' Most people will need a
social security number
sooner or later. Apply for
the number before you ac
tually need it because it,
usually takes six to eight
weeks to get an original -number.
It takes approx
imately ten days if you are
applying for a duplicate
card and you know your '
number.
weather conditions, and ear
ly darkness contribute to the
high traffic accident rate
during the holidays.
Powell said 1,334 people
have been killed in North
Carolina traffic accidents
over the past 11 months,
"This figure represents the
lowest death rate in ten
years," commented Powell.
The Commissioner added,
"that if every motorist -will
drive defensively and
cautiously during the News
Year holidays that the d :.th
fate could still be lowta."
The new scale developed
by USDA is more generous
for households of six or
more persons than it is for
smaller households.
In North Carolina, county
departments of social ser
vices administer the food
stamp program and deter
mine eligibility. '
The amount a household
pays for food Stamps is bas
ed on its net income. Under
the scale going into effect
the first of the year, a family
of four with $100 monthly net
income will pay only $25 for
$166 worth of food stamps,
but if its income is $550, it
would cost $142 to purchase
the same $166 amount of
stamps. '
Persons not participating
in the food stamp program
who need help in purchasing
adequate food should con
tact their local social ser
vices department to see if
they are eligible.
Early
' The Social Security law
requires that . you furnish
evidence of age,, identity,
and citizenship or alien
status when you apply for a
social security number. If
you .were born in the United
States a birth certificate or
church record or birth or
baptism is perferred as pro
of of your age and place of
birth.
