Don't Let Your Child
Be An Uliterate

Do you know that during the past war
that the reason Ashe county had so many
young men rejected by selective service
was because of the alarming number of
these classed as illiterates? It is true that
there were few of these, who could not read
and write; but unless they could pass
fourth grade tests they were considered
too illiterate to be of much value in mech
anized warfare of World War II.
In this present scientific age and that of
the future men and women with less edu-
cation than fourth-grader will be totally
unprepared to carry on for themselves or
for their community. We must have edu-
cation if we are to have the best type of
citizenship.
In this day there is no excuse for any
so-called illiterates With the excellent
schools we have, there is surely no reason
for lack of attendance. As matter of
fact we consider it crime on the part of
parents not to see to it that their children
attend school, While it is technically
violation of the compulsory school attend
ance law for children from seven to sixteen
years of age to be absent from school with
out an acceptable excuse, this is merely

Football facts and fancies =.

Football facts and fancies ..
is a subject we could go on and
on with as football is our favorite
sport and some of last Saturdays
games have been the subject OF
much talk. The Duke-Tennessee
tilt was of much interest to many
from here as well as elsewhere.
Perhaps no one was more keenly
interested than w. L. Dent, Of
Jefferson. Mr.. Dent, : Duke foot
ball fan of long standing sat in
the stands to see his alma mater
and saw in the program a picture
of the freshman team of 1900 OF
which he was right guard! OF
course since that time the name
of the institution has been
changed from Trinity to Duke
and there have been many other
marked changes too. In Mr.. Dent s
day there was no intercollegiate
football at Trinity, but there was
keen competition among the clas-
ses. The yell of his class, also
printed in Saturdays program.
We give you 1900 Trinity!

The Dean Jones family and
Todd Gentry were among the
other ardent Ashe county fans IN
Saturdays crowd. DR.. Dean and
Dean c., Jr., were divided in their
loyalties and Mrs. Dean was IN
between the two. DR.. Dean gave
his support to Tennessee and
Dean, Jr., to Duke. And as is the
usual case, the parent won.

NEW AMENDMENTS TO s.s.
 LAW BENEFITS VETERANS

JUNEAU The Social Security office at Juneau states that thous- ands of survivors of World War II veterans not otherwise covered by the law, will be eligible for old-age and survivors insurance benefits under the 1946 amendments to the Social Security Act.
 In order that survivors of de- ceased veteran may receive pay ments of Old-age and survivors in surance under the new law his re- cord must show that: CD The vet eran was in military service on or after September 16, 1940, and be- fore the official end of the war, CD The veteran had at least go days Of service or, if his service was less than go days is was tei- minated by reason of a service-con- nected or seryice-aggravated disa- bility. (3) The veteran was not dishonorably discharged from mili- tary service. (4) The veterans death did not occur while has was still in military service nor more than years after the date of his discharge.
 The ex-serviceman will not re- ceiVe payments himself, by reason Ot the new amendments. The re- Vised law simply means insurance protection for certain dependents who survive, in case he dies within a specified period after his dis charge from military service. In other words, the law applies to veterans who de or have died within three years after their dis charge and are discharged within four years and one day after the official termination of the war. tAs yet the official termination or the war has not been declaredJ.
 Survivors, of deceased veteran will not be entitled to benefits nn- der the 1946 Social Security a. mendments if they are receiving

 If the qualified veteran leaves d widow with young children in her care. she will be eligible to receive s monthly benefit. Each child un- der Is may also receive a monthly benefit. As each child reaches the age of IS, his benefits will stop. When all of the children have reached their 18th birthday, the widows benefit will stop if she is under 65 years of age. But when she reaches the age of 65, she can again file a claim for ben efits, which will continue for the rest of her life. The widow, how ever, will lose all rights to benefits if she remarries.
