Wage Credits Due
Vets From Social
Security Law

Under the Social Security law
as amended August %, 1850, vet
terans of World War II, i.e., those
who have served in the armed
forces between September 16,
1910 and July "a, 1947, and whose
discharge or release form service
was not dishonorable, will be
given $3.50 a month for wage
credits towards a fully or cur
rently insured status.
At the present time we are in
terested in the deceased veteran
who is survived py widow with
children under Is years of age
that many be entitled to month
ly benefit even though the veter-
ans survivors, may be receiving
veterans disability payments.
Unless veterans survivors file
their claims in Feb. 1851, there
may be monthly benefits lost.
Cases in which the veteran died
before September of 1850 are not
being reopened for a lump-sum
benefit, as the amendments ap-
ply tC the old cases only for a
monthly benefit.
The following survivors may be
considered for monthly benefits;
a widow at age IS or a widow
with children under IS years of
age, then if neither a widow nor
a child of the deceased veteran is
entitled to benefits, a dependent
parent may be entitled to month
ly benefits at age 65. Further
more, the parents are required
to furnish proof of dependency.
This must Ne done before July
1851 or within two years after
the wage earner's death, which.
ever is later.
The survivors of veterans may
write to the Wilmington Field
Office for assistance or contact
the representative ii one of our
itinerant stations. Representa-
tives are located at the post Of

Information compiled by the New
York Stock Exchange shows that in
recent years individual ownership of
Americas productive enterprise has
steadily 5cco:ne more widespread. The
size of the average holding has decreas-
ed as the number of small investors has
increased by the million.
There is ample justification for the
confidence in industry shown by the
average man and woman with savings
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1951-02-14

Two weeks ago we tried to bring
to the attention of the public that the
town board in Tabor City has an ordin-
ance against parking on the post office
side of Fifth street by any vehicle other
than that being used for unloading
We had hoped that if citizens wouldn't
cease this practice by their own con-
cept;on of right and wrong, that the
town would see fit to start passing out
parking violation tickets in great num-
bers.
Today or any day, the situation re-
mains unchanged. The signs are still
there asking, yes, even demanding that
parking be prohibited on the East side
of the street. Yet, ten cars were count
ed on that side of the street this week.
They were parked from both direc-
lions with no semblance of loading or
unloading being evident. They are that
way every day.
Now the ultra important aspect to
this lawbreaking is not so much wheth
er the ordinance is worthy one or not.
1t is not even paramount that parking
be restricted to one side of the street.
The paramount aspect to this particu-
lar case is that law passed by the town
board is being violated by practically
everyone with absolutely no effort be-
ing made to prohibit it. Why then
should the town make any effort to
pass any ordinances at all? Why then
should any measures be considered? If
there is no enforcement, there's no law
and it makes a mockery and a farce
out of the town government.
Our argument in a nut shell is this.
If it was a mistake to pass the ordin-
ance in the first place, then tear down
the signs revoke the ordinance and tell
everyone to park where he pleases re-
gardless of the consequences. If the or
dinance is a good one, then enforce it.

THE WEAKNESS In LAW

fine without exceptions. It's the only
way to have any government at all.
At the present, the farmers who
come to town are about the only ones
who abide by the law. This actually
puts penalty on the farmer, the exact
opposite of what the ordinance is striv-
ing to do.
We personally think that one-way
parking on Fifth street is as it should
be. But what we have now is not one
way parking. The only difference in
the present situation and that prior to
the passing of the ordinance is that be-
fore we not only had two-way parking
but every Tom, Dick and Harry also
double parked on both sides of the
street. 1t was a terrific traffic bottle
neck then. 1t is still bottle neck and
one of the most dep1orable situations
we have seen arise in Tabor City.
The failure to enforce the ordin-
ance of town, is the sign of extreme
smallness. We have many other ordin-
ances being broken every day, among
them the speedsters and reckless driv-
ers who jeopardize safety on the main
streets. They all should be caught. Tri-
ed and given increasingly sitter fines.
But when we don't enforce a simple no
parking ordinance, how are we going
to enforce the much more difficult one
Of catching speedsters? Wouldn't you
feel like pointing out the failure of
others to obey the no parking laws if
you were arrested here and tried for
speeding?
The ordinances should not be brok-
en- by people who know better. But if
they are, the guilty SHOULD suffer in
direct proportion to his violation re-
gardless of his financial, political or
civic standing. Until all ordinances are
enforced, it's waste of time 30 pass
any.

day. The decline extended to be-
tween So and SO a share, with
selling appearing in all corners of

There was no acute pressure and
Offerings at lower prices were

The decline was paced by the

pronounced activity shown in these
four main areas.
The market opened mixed with
