100000 Are Eligible
for Social Security
Social Security Board Equipped
to Approve Old-Age Benefits
Claim Every 8 Minutes

One claim approved every eight
minutes of the working day-this is
the rate at which the Social Security
Boards Claims Service will be
equipped to handle claims for Fed
eral old-age benefits, D. w. Lam
bert, Field Representative in charge
of the Boards office at the Post Of
flee Building in Salisbury was adj
vised today by Leroy Hodges, Di-
rector of the Bureau of Federal Old
Age Benefits.
Expansion of claim adjudication
work to handle the growing influx
of claims emphasizes the increased
activity in this phase of the social
security program, with an estimated
100000 persons or their estates eligi-
BILE for payments in 1887, the Board
Director pointed out to Mr.. Lambert.
Of the prospective claimants, about
$4,000 will involve lump-sum pay
ments to workers IS years old, and
$4,000 will be death payments to
estates of workers who die before
reaching this age or who reach age
IS before qualifying for annuity
payments.
The Bureaus claims experience to
date reveals that approximately 70
per cent of wage earners who die
leave a widow or widower, and in
so percent of the cases wherein an
application for death payments has
been filed, no other assets have been
reported aside from the amount to
be certified for payment by the Fed
eral Government.
Claims actually submitted during
the year may not equal these totals,
because some claimants may not ap-
ply for small amounts, and some
claims may not be filed within the
year.

benefits claims spreads, possession
of a social security account number
by every eligible worker becomes
more important" Mr.. Hodges said,
since the payments are made on the
basis of wage received by the work.

Social Security account. These wage

and will include the workers ac-

sThe worker who has social Sc
curity account number will, there
fore, insure the proper recording OF
all eligible wages for the payment OF
his old-age benefits"
Gall eligible workers who have
not yet done so should apply for an
account number Immediately" he
added, pointing out that account

NEEDY TO GET SUGAR

It so happens that it is a matter
of major Importance in that confis-

High Death Rates of
Babies Preventable

Raleigh, June 8.-"Of the 57,869
North Carolina babies who, during
the past 10 years, have died before
their FIRST anniversary, $4,000 sue
cumbed before they were two weeks
DID," DR.. Roy Norton, assistant di-
rector OF the Division of Preventive
Medicine, State Board of Health,
said here.
This means, he continued, "that
during every IA year period, we
lose as many babies as are born in
any single year. No other wastage
or carelessness in our modern life is
comparable to this tragedy.
"This is even more significant
when we consider that, with proper
medical prenatal and obstetric care,
most of these deaths are prevent
able. In thus striving to save our
babies, we can prevent much of the
disability and many of the deaths of
mothers.
1.-THE seriousness of this latter
problem is better understood when
we know that, during the last 10
years, $3.50 North Carolina women
have lost their lives from causes re-
lating to the bearing of children.
1.-THE type of prenatal care has a
very important and direct influence
on the survival rate of infants" he
pointed out, continuing: "The earlier
in pregnancy the expectant mother
goes to her physician, the more use
full will be his advice and supervi-
sion in preventing sickness or death
of mother or baby. When the doctor
is not called in until the time of con-
finement, things may go wrong for
mother and baby. In such a case, a
doctor is unfairly blamed when he
was not given chance to prevent
the catastrophe"
Discussing the importance of giving
the baby safe journey into the

of the $4,000 post offices which are
cooperating with the Board until
June 80. Effective July l, the Post
Office Department within cities in
which there are no Social Security
Board office-continue to supply
application forms for social security
account numbers. Such applications
should be sent after June 80, to the
nearest Social Security Board office.
Located in strategic centers through
out the country, more than 125 such
offices are open now, and others are
to be opened shortly.
There are now six offices open in
North Carolina, including the Sails
bury office. Other cities in which
offices are located in North Carolina
are: Asheville, Charlotte, Green's
boro, Raleigh and Winston-Salem.
Wage earners participating in the
Federal old-age benefits program
were cautioned against having more
than one account number because
they may create difficulties for
themselves and for the Board in the
maintenance of accurate wage rec
ords on which old-age benefits will
be based.
Wage earners who have more than
one account number should bring or
send all account cards they have re-
ceived to their local post offices
where the proper corrections will be
made.

East, the traffic in narcotics also
gains, declared Stuart J. Fuller of

State in a speech last night before

mittee.
Fuller painted a grim picture of
narcotics addiction in the former Chi

military protection.
Conditions are almost beyond be-
lief" in those districts, Fuller de-
clared, adding that the traffic IN mar
cotics has become "a cancer on the
face of Asia"
The American diplomat said that
IN Chinese provinces where there is
no japanese influence there has been
q noticeable reduction in the produc-
ton of raw opium.
Fuller is assistant chief of the di-
vision of Far Eastern affairs in the
