The name is Horton Smith, the
boy from Joplin, and it was q
moment Of sheer drama when he
came bounding down through the
driving rain of the final SO holes
with a So and 70 for 285 to beat
Harry Cooper by a stroke.
But, as I say, never more shall
we experience the deluSion that
here was something really historic.
With Robert T. Jones finishing
thirty-third in his own tourna-
ment, the occasion has definitely,
absolutely and finally lost its sig

thrill.
The Masters, henceforth, must
be just another local event, like
the Tallahassee Open and the left
handlers annual tournament and
clambake.

DR.. JANE S. McKIMMON
GIVEN NATIONAL HONOR

The distinguished service ruby,
considered the highest professional
honor that can be conferred upon
an agricultural extension worker,
was awarded this year to DR.. Jane
S. McKimmon, director of home
demonstration work in North Car
DINA.
The jewel, conferred annually
by Epsilon Sigma Phi, national ex-
tension fraternity, is given to an
extension worker who has render
ed distinguished service to Ameri-
can agriculture"
Since no ruby was given in 1885
two were awarded this year. The
other went to DR.. C. w. Warbur-
ton, of Washington, national d.
rector Of agricultural extension SER
vice activities.
The awards were made at the an
nual meeting of the grand council
of Epsilon Sigma Phi in Houston,
Texas, a few days ago. When DR..
McKimmon was nominated to re-
ceive o=e of the rubies, the out
burst of applause was followed by
a unanimous vote in her favor it
was reported by North Carolinians
at the meeting.
The grand council is composed
of Epsilon Sigma Phi members
from every State in the Union.
Membership in the fraternity is
limited to active workers who have
been in extension work for ten
or more years.
DR.. McKimmon, who is this year
celebrating her 18th anniversary in
home demonstration work, and who
is also an assistant director of the
State College extension service in
North Carolina, was paid high tri-
butte for her loyal and unselfish
work in this field.
Under her direction, home dem
onstration work has been built up
until it reaches some $4,000 North
Carolina farm women and girls. Its
detectives are not only to help farm
women with their work, but also to
help them make rural life more
abundant and fruitful for them
selves, their families, and their
communities.

and one-half per cent. of your sal
airy as an old-age benefits tax, and
your employer will pay the same in
your behalf. Beginning January l.,
1913, you will pay two per cent.
an your employer will pay the same
Finally, on January l, 1919, you
and your employer will each begin
paying three cents On each dollar
you make up to $1,000 a year.
That is the most you will ever pay.
Q. What is the maximum in old
age benefits l can receive? What is
the minimum?
A. The maximum is $S5 a
month; the minimum, $40.
CHANGE OF JOBS
Q. If l change my job, how does
that affect my rating insofar as
old-age benefits are concerned?
A. There would be no change
except as to the amount you and
your employer pays in taxes. If
you take a new job for more salary
you pay more taxes on that salary
and so does your employer; if you
get less money, your tax is smaller.
Q. If / have an independent in
come when l reach sixey-five will
that bar me from receiving old
age benefits from the government?
A. You will receive your govern
ment pension regardless of your
property or other income, provided
you are no longer working.
Q. l am sixty two years old and
unemployed. Do I participate in
the old-age benefits?
A. No., because unded the Social
Security Act it is necessary for
you to work at least one day in
each of five years and also must
make at least $4,000 in that period
Since you will be sixty-five in only
three years, you obviously cannot
come under the Social Security law.

Security Acts
Principles Told

employees of the railroad industry
who are subject to the Carriers
Taxing Act, Officers or members
of crews of vessels documented un-
der the laws of the United States,
and employees of non-profit organ
izations.
Q. Why is it necessary for he
Legislature to pass on he unem,
ployment insurance feature of So
cial Security?
A. Because the law creating So
cial Security provided that each
State has the option of placing it
self in or out of the benefits of un-
employment insurance. However,
every employer of eight or more
persons in each State must pay his
unemployment insurance taxes.
Hence, States which have not vot-
ed to partake of the benefits of un-
employment insurance will be tax
ed but will receive no benefits. 1t
is desirable, therefore, that this
State vote Immediately if it wants
to receive these benefits, for North
Carolina employers will be taxed
irrespective of whether or not the
State receives benefits.
Q. My employer gave me a form
to be filled out applying for an
account number" What does this
mean?
A. In order to become eligible
for old-age benefits, your name,
address, place of employment and
other information must be listed
with the Social Security Board in
Washington. Your application for
an account number simply signifies
that you regard yourself as eligible
for participation in old-age bene-
fits, and that you want to be reg
istered for such benefits.
Q. How much of my salary will
| have to pay in taxes for old-age
benefits?
A. The amount each worker
pays throughout his working ca
reer depends entirely upon how
much he makes. For the three years
beginning January l, 1887, you
will pay n per cent. of your sal
airy up to $4,000 per year. For ex-
ample, if you make SIS a week,
you will pay in taxes Is cents a
week. Your employer will pay, in
your behalf, a similar sum.
All this money will go into your
account with the Federal govern
ment, the total sum to be known
as a wage account" After the
first three years - that is, from
January l, 1940-you will pay one

TO GIVE
ON WINTER PROBLEMS

Prospects of a prolonged cold
winter remind farmers that many
new tasks will be added to their
days work.
Specialists of the Extension Ser
vice, the School of Agriculture,
and the Experiment Station at
State College will attempt through
radio talks On the Carolina Farm
Features program to tighten the
farmers burden by giving latest
available information on farm pro-
blems.
For instance, dairy cattle need
extra care during the winter if they
are to stay in the best condition
and produce the largest amounts
of milk. Good shelters will be need
ed as we'll as plenty of water from
which the chill has been taken.
Likewise, poultry require careful
feeding and management practices
during the winter months. With
the absence of green feeds, the
poultryman must watch the diet of
his birds to see that all of the nee
essary elements are contained.
Also important during the cold
weather is the winter garden. Many
vegetables can be grown in the
coolest weather, and these will keep
the diet of the family varied. This
is essential if the family is to re-
main in the most healthy condition.

Social Security-what does it
mean to the workers or this city?
Few of the thousands of persons
the new law affects have more
than a hazy understanding of what
the Social Security legislation
means and how it will affect the
individual worker.
This paper therefore presents
here, through Hypothetical ques-
tions, a practical review of the ba-
SIC principles of the law:
Q. What is Social Security?
A. 1t is an all-embracing at
tempt by the Federal government
to provide for the future of the
working man, to assist persons
now in need and to provide COM
pensation for the man who loses
his job.
WHO PAYS?
Q. Who pays for Social Securi
ty?
A. The employee pays a share,
the employer pays an even larger
share, and the Federal and State
governments provide funds.
Q. When does the Social Securi-
ty go into effect?
A. One phase Of Social Security
already is in effect-public assist
ance for needy persons over sixty
five, the needy blind and Deepen
dent children. The second feature
of Social Securely, old-age benefit,
goes into effect January l. The
third feature, unemployment COM
pensation, goes into effect Janu-
airy 1 in states which have aligned
themselves through appropriate
legislation with the Federal provi-
sions for administration of the law.
There are approximately 26 mil
lion workers in the Unied States
who come under the provisions of
this legislation. Such workers will
contribute, throughout the rest Of
their working career, to the So
cial Security fund; when they
reach sixty-five, they will begin
receiving benefits from the fund,
such benefits to continue as song
as the retired worker lives.
ACTION NECESSARY
Q. What types of workers come
under the provisions of old-age-
benefits, and what types are ex-
cluded?
A. Old-age benefits are designed
to apply to all types of workers ex-
cept the following: Agricultural
labor, domestic service, casual la
Dor, employees of cities, counties,
States and the Federal government,

Are you a love-letter saver? Or

are you q 1oVe-IeGCer saver? Or
a love-letter "burner-upper"?
The editor Of this page is not
only anxious but ready to reward
Washington Times readers who
send him the most interesting
letters on this subject. He'd like
to know whether you think it
wise to save old love letters or
destroy them Immediately after
you've read them.
This question Is inspired by a
tenSely interesting episode in the
motion picture, THE Unguarded
Hour" which Loew'S Fox Theater
will present on its screen this
Friday. In this dramatic story
very much of the story centers
about some letters which Fran
chot Tone wrote to an old girl
friend before he married the
beautiful Loretta Young. The
very existence of these letters
brought a series of the most I'M
usual complications, including
blasted romances, a series Of
crimes and even a mysterious
death.
Many people believe that love
letters ought to be saved. Others
maintain that all letters Of a per.
sonal nature should be destroyed

I Cover HOLLYWOOD
BY LLOYD PANTAGES

HOLLYWOOD. April 2S.-"The
Great Ziegfeld" has turned out to
be a spectacular success for
M.-G.-M., a colossal boost for all
those connected with it, and a rec
ord money-maker-but it was any
thing but a CHEEKY venture for
Gilda Gray.
For two years she stayed in
Hollywood waiting to appear in
the picture and during that time
she lost weight, rehearSed dancing
until unconscious. retired from
active stage appearance, and
finally she was in three large
musical numbers, to be exact. one
South Sea number, another a
minstrel, and the third in which
she was presented in her history
making shimmy.
On the strength Of the fact she
had been in the picture one Of the
best agents in town signed her,
movie contracts were pending, and
a personal appearance tour
throughout the East in which she
was to have her own troupe of
girls, all hung fire till the picture
was released.
In the meantime, "The Great
Ziegfeld" was so long that they
cut all Of Gilda Gray's numbers
out, even though they were won
derful, the pending picture deals
were dropped, and the Eastern
manager called off the personal
appearance tour. So you see, the
making Of the cinema is not
always too gladdening-unfor-
tunately.
Speaking of Selznick: 1.-THE Gar
den OF Allah" company on loca-
ton in Buttercup Valley (Which
will be known as the Sahara
Desert in the picture) held up
production for one whole day
while Marlene Dietrich sent scouts
back to Hollywood to collect a
colored polo shirt which she had
seen Windsor French (the Eastern
scribe) wearing. The color in
trigued her so that she wanted
to be tested in it.
Nice to hear that there is a
colossal studio deal pending for
Clifton Webb's services. Anyone
with his talents should have been
used long before now. while on
the subject of a waste of talent:
Oliver Messed, who did many cos
tunes and many sets for Romeo
and Juliet" is returning to Eng
land sans a contract to return.
Any studio signing him would be
so well off that they'd be hysteri-
cal with joy. Barton MacLane
is having a tough time at the mo-
ment. He's cast in a picture en-
titled Bullets and Ballots" in

Mile. Vernee, a Partisan dancer,
turns in a radium dance novelty
which is wholly out of the ordinary
and can be highly recommended
to those in search of unusual en-
tertainment.
The Misses Nellia Casson, Gloria
