THE ABSENTEE
BALLOT SHOULD
BE ABOLISHED

There are signs that the absen-
tee ballot may be on its way out.
Twice the State Board of Elec-
tiCnS has asked the General AS
Sembly to rule out the absentee
ballot in general elections. The
legislature has refused on both
occasions.
But if complaints keep piling
up in the mountain counties the
legislature cannot long ignore
them and some day will abolish
that instrument around which
most of the election abuses in
North Carolina seem to collect.
In 1889 the General Assembly
made a partial reform by abolish
ing the absentee ballot in the
primary except for its use by
military personnel.
Five agents of the State Bureau
of Investigations are now prob
ing the alleged misuse of absen-
tees in Graham County. There 1t
is charged the absentee ballots
are bought and sold like live
stock.
With less tn a n 5000 eligible
voters in Clay County, SAB ballots
have already been passed out to
persons who say that it will be
impossible for them to vote in

In the Piedmont area the clos

Commenting on the new social
security coverage for farm opera
tors effective January l, 1855. Mr..
Joseph P. Walsh, District Man
ager of the GaStonia Sociel Sc
curity Office, said today that in
general, there is agreement that
farmers need the protection af-
forded by the social security pro-
gram. This insurance which has
been available to the millions en-
gagged in business and industry
tOr some time, is now being eX-
tended to farm operators and
their families. Many people are
not aware that survivors inSur-
ance payments are made to wild
owS with children under 13. to the
children and to widows over age
IS. of insured workers. This fam
-ly protection should prove reas-
auring 10 all farmers both young
and old. Social security payments
are also made to workers upon
retirement at age 65 and to their
dependents. Referring to the re-
t:rement provision under social
security, Mr.. Walsh pointed out
that the GaStonia office has re-
ceived quite a few questions on
that score. To clarity that point
Mr. Walsh said there is ''re-
tlrement test under the program.
The retirement test might sound
like a "catch" at first, but is not
SO restrictive when analyzed. Un-
der social security the word re-
tirement has quite a different
meaning from the ordinary use of
the term. In the first place an
insured person 72 years of age or
over may draw social security
benefits regardless Of earnings.
He needed not be concerned with
the retirement test
For the farmer between the
ages of IS and 70 the retirement
test" becomes more important
and has to be considered in de-
terming whether he may draw his
social security payments. One ir
this group is considered retired.
within the meaning of the Socia
Security Act, for any year ir
which mis- earnings are $1,000 OF
less.
1t matters not how much ht
might do on the farm during the
Year. So thus far, with respect tx
the person age 70, and even those
less than 72 whose earnings d(
not exceed $1,000 per year, the
retirement test is not such 6
tugaboo. He can work and draw
his benefits too.
A farmer between the age of 6;
and 70, whose annual earnings ex
ceed $1,000, may not draw socia
security payments for all month
in the year. The number of bene
lit checks he may get in a yea
depends on % the amount o
earnings in excess of $1,000 ant
90 the number of months h
works. If he renders substantial
services in al months and his an
nual earnings exceed $2080 h,
viii not draw benefits for an.
months. A person whose annua
earnings are more than $1,000 anC
less than $2980 may receive from
one to eleven months payment!
depending upon the actua
amount of net earnings.
Farm operators and their fam.
lilies wishing additional informa.
ton on social security should gel
in touch with their nearest So
cial security office. Pamphlets fol
