H. Canipe, ?08 E. Virginia Ave.. Bessemer City. N. C., completed an armor track vehicle mechanic course at the Army Armor Center, F'ort Knox. Ky., May 21. Durirfg the seven-week course Canipe received instruction in the maintenance of engines, po wer trains and chassis units us ed in wheeled and tracked vehi cles. He entered the Army in De cember 1962 and completed basic training at Fort Jackson, S. C. Q~1 started thinking about retirement the oth'er day but haven't yet made up my mind, I am 69 and operate a 3-mari bar ber shop. If I do itrlire, how much will I get from social se curity and when should I file my claim? A Yciu should visit the social security office the first chanc-e you get. The people there will csti.T ate your benefit amount and they will also help you to file your claim. It is a good idea to file ninv and get your claim approved. Then you can be sure of the amount before you retire. Q—I am a self-employed far mer, age 67, and earned $2,949 last year on the farm. My wife is 66. Can I get any social secur ity for last year? If so, hoiw do I go about filing for it? A—There is a possibility that some benefits may be payable depending on the work you did last year and the amount of .monthly benefits for which you and your wife are eligible. Get in toioch with your social secur ity office for the complete story anti to file a claim. If you and your wife have proof of your ages, take it with you when you go to the social security office. Q- -I will be 65 next month and I expect to continue work ing at my present job until the end of this year. Can I apply for my social security benefits now even though I am not retiring right away? A-Yes, you may apply right a’way. In fact, it is recommend ed that all workers ano'v for benefits at age 65 whether or not they plan to retire, fnere’s always a chance that some ben efits will be payable even though you are still working. In addi tion, it’s to your advantage to have your benefits already ap proved so that when you do re tire the payments can begin with I no delay at all. | NOTE: This is the fifteenth df a series of weekly summaries prepared by the legislative staff of the Institute of Government on the work of the North Caro lina Genenal Assembly of 1965. It is confined to discussions of matters of general Interest and major importance. A legislative week that started slowly and was but slightly en liven^ by House consideration of the auto inspection bill, ended on a note of ferment with Governor Moore’s announcement Thursday that the accreditation of the State-supported colleges and uni versities is threatened by the Speaker-ban law. Thus an issue which at times has seemed likely to remain dormant throughout the session has now been revi talized, No bill to modify or re peal the law has yet been intro duced, however. At week’s end issues of higher education policy all but blanket ed out other legislative news. Late Wednesday the Joint Com mittees on Higher Education cast their ballots for UNC trustees: their nominations were approved by Joint action of the two houses on Friday. Thursday brought the introduction of an administrat- tion-backed bill to revamp the State Board of Higher Education, sponsored by Senators Scott and Morgan and by Rep. McMillan of Robeson (SB 459 — HB 965). The bill would eliminate the present 9-member Board, to be replaced on July 1st- by a 15-member body. The present detailed bud getary review powers would be abridged to a review of institu tional budget requests only to determine their "compatibility... with the assigned functions of the respective institutions.” Gov ernor Moore would appoint a majority of the new board mem bers and representation would also be given to the various State-supported colleges on a ro tating basis and to the UNC trus tees. Currently the board is corn- nosed entirely of citizen mem bers. Domestic Relations The North Carolina General Assembly first authorized a’bso- lute divorce on grounds of sep aration of the parties in 1907; the period of separation required was ten years. During thelast 58 years, our elected representatives have gradually reduced the per iod of separation required — in 1921 from ten to five years—1933 from five to two years — and in 1965 from two years to one year. H® 480, passed and ratified this week, provides for absolute di vorce if the "husband and wife have lived separate and apart for one year.” Previous legisla tive efforts to reduce require ments for divorce have been con troversial and emotional. HB 480 passed both houses with surpris ingly little controversy. Seventeen other states and the District of Columbia recognize separation as grounds for di vorce in periods of time varying from 18 months (Maryland) to ten years ('Rhode Island). One state requires 7 years (Texas); six states require- 5 years - (Ari zona. District of Coliumbia, Ida ho, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Wyom ing); five states require 3 years (Arkansas, Deleware, Net^ada, Puerto Rico, Vermont); and four states require 2 years ((Loulsana, New Hampshire, Virginia, Wy oming), Thus North Carolina emerges as the state allowing absolute divorce on grounds of separation for the shortest per iod-one year. Taken at face value this is deceptive, however, vorces in large numbers on for other states grant easier di grounds such as mental cruelty, Excessive drinking, and religious difference. Motor Vehicles Few areas of legislation affect as many voters of the state as directly as the motor vehicle laws. The sensitivity of the elec torate to this body of law and its enforcement on the highways and in the courts generates a great deal of legislative activity each session. Nearly 100 motor vehicle bills have been introduc ed this year, topibg all other subjects of public legislation, i Twenty seven of these have al- as END-OF-MONTH HOMEFURNISHINGS ^ter^lti^uthish your Modern complete: during tM^^reat Sale! r"; ■ clf f : - Buy Any Group Separately! 12-Piece SOFA-BED GROUP 169.95 3-ROOM ENSEMBL>E...ONLY •388 I ii <» GROUP INCLUDES i'i V /1- 12-PC.

The new laws also num ber the Good Samaritan Act, warning tickets for minor traffic infractions, blue lights for police vehicles, and an amendment of the law respecting automatic sus pension of drivers' license for excessive speeding. About one bill in every ten has been killed ‘by committee or floor action. This year’s dead ducks include bills to require annual re-exam ination for drivers over 65, to double the minimum compulsory auto insurance coverage, to iialve the wood hauler license fee, to permit license suspension for two speeding offenses within 12 months, and the anti-necking hiU. In response to rising accident rates Governor Moore has made highway safety a keystone at his legislative program. Several of his proposals have already been enacted into law; others are well along toward final passage. The auto inspection bill was steered through the House by Rep. Ea gles and passed on Wednesday of this w'cek. The bill requires annual inspection at State ap proved stations of brakes, lights, horn, steering mechanism, wind shield wipers and directional sig nals. The House adopted an a- mendment to jog the memory the deadline - conscious public: each car owner determines the month when his inspection is due by reference to the last digit on his license plate. The cost of an nual inspection is $1.50, with the inspecting station to remit 25c to the Department of Motor Vehi cles for support of the program. The bill is now in Senate com mittee awaiting a scheduled pub lic hearing next week. GROUP INCLUDES 5-Pe. DINtNG ROOM GROUP Round 1abl« with Plasticized FfnishI 4 BaautifuHy Carvod Matas Chairs.

The Governor will serve as chair man of the group, composed of interested department heads and one member from each house of the Ic'pslature. Also enacted are SB 2.58, which will make it un lawful to operate vehicles sold after January 1, 1966, unless equipped with an outside rear view mirror, and SB 238 whirh requires vehicles sold after July 1. 1966 to be equipped with an- -horage units for rear seat safe ty belts. If the regulartory pat tern for front seat safety belts 's followed, the 1967 legislature may be expected to consider re quiring rear seat lells as stand ard equipment. The driver edu cation program has been expand ed (SB 243 and SB 244) to elude ail olherwise eligible youths in both public and private schools as well as dropouts, and to require that driver training ■ourses (previously optional) he ;f!fered in the public schools. The ’ou-t reform bill and the $300 Tilllion highway bond issue, hough incidenfal to highway -afety, should have a lonlg-range mpact in affording safer high- vavj and more uniform enforce ment of traffic laws. Among the still pending ad- rinistration program hi'ls are (B 307 (HB 616) calling for a '285,009 appropriation to dcf)ay the cost of reflectorizing license plates for 1967; S3 283 (HB 615) seeking the addition q.' 100 high- vvay patrolmen during the com- 'nij biennium; and SB 390 (HB 145) which would establish a highway safety research renter i.t UNC. Another pending meas ure would Inquire a minimum $2(X) fine and mandatory 2-90 day 'ail sentence for persons convict ed of driving on suspended or revoked licenses (SB 257 - HB 365). The whistle is never blown on new motor vehicle bills. Introduc ed this past week were SB 452 to require that information on com pulsory auto insurance oe passed out to motorists along with their registration cards, and HB 916 to place a 3 year driving mora- torium on speeders whose li- censes have been lifted unless their cars are equipped with 70 mph governors. Other Several new introductions of more than routine interest were launched this week. HB 928 in troduced by Rep. Speed would explicitly authorize the' State (Board of Water Resources, act ing within the confines of ti'adi- tional I'iparian rights doctrines, to adopt regulations establishing reasonable usuage of ground or surface waters. HB 978 would le- organizp the Board of Conserva tion and Development, terminat ing the terms of all nresent members on June 30, 1965. An other slug of separate aom-oori- ations bills was inti'oduced dur ing the week, seven in all. call ing for a total r" about S3 mil lion. Other new hills would make the creation and financing of commurrltv colleges, technical in stitutes and industrial education centers subject to apnroval by the Governor and Advisory Bud get Commission, and would re peal the 1963 “Humber Act”, which required the State to con tribute to school bus transporta tion within city limits. The week proved a dry run for the alcoholic 'beverage industry, bringing defeat in the Senate for the bill to permit lieen.sed als- tilleries in North Carolina and an unfavorable committee report for the proposed general enabl ing law for city ABC elections. 1 .. ■■A
