Phone 1811 LETTER TO THE EDITOR We are deeply grateful to you and the staff of the HERALD for your generous support in publi cizing and promoting the 1954 March of Dimes campaign in your area of the state. We wish we could report to you now the amount of money contributed by the people of Cle veland County and North Caroli na, to the campaign this year. But it is still too soon to say how much was given. We do believe, howeve-, that we can count upon a minimum, of one million dol lars. We 'fully realize that this suc cess depended in large measure upon your all-out assistance in keeping the campaign and its needs before your readers. So ? we say once again ? Thanks for your wonderful sup port', Cordially, Caro Mae Russell Director of Organization Dear Editor: I would appreciate very much if you would please change the address on my "Herald". We have moved into pur new home and the address is now: 506 Haw thorne Lane. We always look forward to the "Herald"' and news of all the home folks. Many thanks. Sincerely yours, Nelline Gault Stroup Directors Plan Foote Expansion PHILADELPHIA, Pa. ? Direc -'! tors of Foote Mineral Company have tentatively approved furth er expansion of facilities for the production Of lithium ores and chemicals, H. C. Meyer, chairman of the board, said today. The proposed expansion, which has been under study for almost a year, will include major addi tions at the Company's Kings Mountain, N. C., and Sunbright. Va., plants. Facilities at-thf Ex ton> Pa., plant will be increased to a lesser extent. Many of the present facilities were designed and built in the expectation of further expansion. Mr. Meyer said that the proba ble cost of the proposed expan sion will amount to several mil lion dollars^ Foote expects to fi nance the cost of thte new facili ties through bank loans and does not contemplate any public fi nancing at this time. Markets for lithium products have developed even more rapid ly than anticipated. With firm, long-term contracts now in hand, the Directors have decided to put these plans into effect as prompt ly as circumstances warrant, the statement said. Production of winter apple va rieties in North Carolina last year totaled 820,000 bushels, compared with 1,908,000 bushels a year ear lier. If you haven't already done so, it Is time to sow tomato, pepper, and eggplant sefed in hotbeds,, coldframes, or -flats in the kit chen window. Although it is much easier to buy pluats for the garden, we like to grow our own tomato plants. Then we know what we are getting. The seed sowing date will depend on how soon the wea ther will permit setting in the field. It usually takes from five to eight weeks to produce toma to plants large enough to set, de pending on the temperature .of the plant bed. Pepper and eggplant are a- lit tle slower In developing. By figur ing back from the last probable frost date we can determine when to sow the seed. By sowing the steed thinly, It may not be neces sary to transplant, but usually transplanting to two Inches apart about a week after the plants come up will give much stronger and stockier plants. There Is no advantage In growing plants to blooming size before setting In the field. The younger plants will stand thfe shook of transplanting ? better than the older ones. Where no fusarlum wilt Is pre sent, good early varieties are Va liant and Urban* Earllana, of course, is an old standby. For the main crop Rutgers and Marglobe are popular. Ol the hybrids, Bur pete's Big Boy has done very well for us. If the garden soil is infected with f usarium wilt, it is advisable to use only such varieties as Homestead and Jefferson, which are highly resistant to fusarium wilt. These are not early varie tites but will survive the wilt. The best variety of pepper is probably California Wonder. It is a good grower and has heavy, meaty fruits. ? Eggplant is not a common veg etable in North Carolina gardens but should be grown more. The Florida Highbush and Ft Myers Market are good varieties. As soon as eggplants are set in the field, the plants should be cover ed with a DDT dust or spray to prevent flea beetles and potato beetles from destroying them. Planting of these three crops can be made at least two weeks earlier if the plants are covered with hotcaps or other plants pro tectors.

Gastoala Social Security OlUos "The keeping of records is now more Important to the self-em ployed person than ever before." Joseph P. Walsh, manager of the Gastonia Social Security office, said today. "Those engaged in almost every business or self employment activity except farm ing and certain professions are (if their net income is sufficient) now covered by social security. All retirement or survivors belie fits under the system are based on average monthly earnings ? net earnings, for the self employ ed. So it is necessary that com plete and correct records of earn ings, operating expenses, and net income be maintained." To figure his net income for the purpose of paying the self-em ployment social security tax one must deduct all business - operat ing expenses. And if the resultant correct net income is $400.00 or more, the activity is covered by Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. The self-employment tax return is filed once a year at income-tax time. It is, of course, equally impor tant that full and accurate social security records be kept on all employees of the business. To be correct and complete, the employ er's quarterly report on his em ployees must show each worker's full name, social security num ber, and the wages paid to him in thfe quarter reported. Obviously, complete and accu-1 rate business records and reports are necessary if benefits are later paid, or paid in full, to retired workers and self-employed per sons or thfeir survivors.
