u. S. To Pay War
Vets Three Billion

Washington, June 20-Veterans
will receive a special dividend of
nearly three billion dollars on their
National Service Life Insurance
policies. Veterans Administrator
Carl Gray, Junior, signed the order
for the special payments today. He
said he hopes veterans will begin to
receive checks sometime in January
1850. Some economists have ex-
pressed hope that the special divi-
dend will stimulate purchasing pow
er.
The dividends will go to about 16
million veterans of World War Two,
and they will average SITS for each
former serviceman. In general, ev-
cry veteran will be eligible if he
took out the insurance and kept it
in force at least three months.
Where policy-holders have died,
their benefciaries will receive the
money. Application blanks for the
dividends will be available in Aug
ust in postoffices, Veterans Ser
vice Organizations and VA offices.

from the main stem.
Tomatoes are not naturally
climbers, but sprawlers. They will
not cling to anything, but require
to be tied. Every time you prune,
be prepared to tie up new growth,
using a strip Of cloth, soft thick
tWine, or similar tie which will not
cut the stem. The tie should be
looped loosely around the stem,
and fastened securely to the sup
port. A single stem plant can be
twisted around a strong cord or
heavy wire.
Do not remove leaves from a
tomato plant, to expose the fruit
to direct rays of the sun. This will
cause sunburn, and does not hasten
ripening. Foliage is naturally re-
duced by removing the side shoots,
and the remaining growth needs
all the leaves it has. SO-called
determinate varieties, which make
small bushes, are not suited to
stalking and pruning.
Tomatoes need a continuous sup
ply of water, and are injured if al
lowed to dry out. A mulch on the
soil around them will help keep
the ground moist, and tomato
growth even. But one inch of wa
ter each week should be supplied
to the plants either in rain, or by
the garden hose. If allowed to dry
out, fruits are likely to develop
blossom end rot," a black de-
cayed spot opposite the stem.
Marion progress., 1949-06-30

Pruning tomato plants which are
grown to single stem and staked,
will keep a gardener busy. Pruning
requires that side shoots or
branches which grow from the
main stem be removed. Unless re
moved before they are four inches
long, the vigor Of the plant may
be reduced by the operation.
On vigorous plant it often
seems that shoot will grow that
long overnight. Moreover, shoots
appear near the base of the plant
long after you think there is moth
ing to worry about there; and these
low shoots make the worst trou-
BILE. A daily examination, and
pinching out of shoots just as they
start, is the best way to handle
this task.
Pinching is better than cutting
with knife. The knife is more
likely to carry disease infection.
Before pinching off, shoots, wash
your hands thoroughly and do not
smoke or touch tobacco while han
ding tomatoes, because there is a
tobacco disease which may be
transmitted to your tomato plants
if you are careless.
For single stem plants, all side
shoots must be removed. For dou-
BILE stem plants, one side shoot
not more than 10 inches above the
surface, may be allowed to grow
From this shoot, however, all side
shoots must be removed just as

OUR COUNTY
AND
SOCIAL SECURITY
BY D. w. LAMBERT, Mgr.
Asheville Social Security Office
Asheville Social Security Office
Subject: Employers Part In
Social Security

oOCIdI security
When we get claim for Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance benefits,
one of the most important factors
to be considered is the total wages
that have been reported by the
workers employers. Since. these
employers reports are so impor-
tant, l want to review the employ
er's duties under the Social Securi-
ty Act.
There are many new businesses
being started, so a word to the new
employer first. Some go into bust
ness without realizing that the So
cial Security Act provides for two
separate insurance systems for
their employees-the Federal Old
Age and Survivors Insurance pro-
gram, and the State-Federal un-
employment Insurance system.
Most all business firms are concern
ed with the Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance program if they have
even one employee, and even if the
work is only part-time or tempor-
any. Whether the employer comes
under the State employment insur-
ance program depends upon the
State law,
The new employer should first
apply for an employers identlfi-
cation number. Blanks for this pur-
pose may be secured from my of
flee or the Internal Revenue Of
flee. The employer should secure
the Social Security Account Num-
ber from each employee at the
time he goes to work, and the name
should appear on his record just
as it is shown on the card. He should
insist on seeing the employees card
and not only on the memory of the
employee in giving it. When an en-
ployer reports all Social Security
numbers and names correctly, he,
has no difficulty.
The Collector of Internal Re-
venue mails the necessary blanks
to the employer before the quart
erly reports are due. When he gets
the blanks, the employer lists all of
his employees, with their account
number and the amount of wages
paid during the quarter. Then he
mails his report with the tax to the
Collector of Internal Revenue.
Many employers see that their
employees are properly informed
about their Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance benefits. I hope the en-
ployers will notify US when they be-
lieve benefits are payable.
l will be in Marion on the second
and fourth Friday in the Jury room
at the Courthouse at 1890 a. m.
