Griide-A dairymen in North Carolina called it quits at llie rate of about three per week in 1967. Total milk production in the state continued to climb sliglitlj-, however. Dr. Frank Sargent, extension dairy sp(>elalist at North Carolina State University, .said the 147 Orade-A dairymen who went out of hu.slness in 1967 represented a slight drep from the number who have quite in most recent yenrs. The total number of Grade A dairymen in North Carolina at the end of 1967 was estimated at 2..5.55. This Is about half of the dairjmen that the stale had in 1954-.).‘5. .Milk prices have increa.sed ■some during this pr-riod,'' Sargent said, "but production costs have increased at a much faster rale. " Many of the smaller. less effi cient producers Ivave fallen by the wayside, and Sargent e.vpects this trend to continue for another ID years. Cow nunibcrs have also de clined, from about .300,0(K) in 19.54- ,55 to alyjut 21(i,i)00 Iasi year. Drtspite a .50 per cent drop in dairymen and a .30’irerCent drop in cows, milk produrtio'n tr)n- tinues t.) rise i’ll North Carolina.

Recent Change in Social Security Law Announced A recent change in the Social Security Law is going to benefit many- disabled young people in “'lis area. ^nder the old law a person had Is "^,4® oot ol I'c.'.ears just before ho lie- camo oisat,,..-’ ^"-(rdless of his age, to lie eligible fo.- ^ Social •Security check. Realiz,..-^ thal young people who have '>>-irked only a short lime in the lao j force sometimes become disabled. , Congress reduced the amount ol' work needed for those disabled before age 31. Since work under Social Sec urity is counted in calendar quar ters, the new law says you liave enough work if you have eo\er- ago - foi- one-haif the quarters elapsing after the quarter you became age 21, up fo and in- ', cltidlng the'<iuartcr you became disabled. If you became disabled prior to -age 24, you will have .mough work if you ha\-o cover age for 6 of the 12 quarters end ing with the quarter you Ix-oome disabled. Lex G. Barkley, District Man ager of the Gastonia Social Se j curity offioe, urged these young I people who filed claims in the^ past an.-l were turned down he-. cau.se they d'd not have enough' work, to file again. You may be eligible now. In addition, he'said those recently disabled should' not delay filing a claim. It is ^st to file your disability claim just as soon as you learn that you will be disabled for at least 12 months.
