And it all happened, without
anybody being mindful of it, on
the third anniversary of the day
when Congressman Herbert Bon
ner and A. Clark Stratton of the
Park Service appeared in Raleigh
out of a clear sky and asked Kerr
Scott how much money he could
raise for a good cause. Scott was
governor at the time and after
squeezing dry ever available pen
ny he said he might make it
$61S,000. They went back to Wash
ington and Paul Mellon, son of the
late Treasury Secretary Andrew
w. Mellon matched it.
Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore, the dream of Lindsay War
rem for a lifetime, came back to
life. 1t was tremendously alive
Friday. Bonner and Stratton were
down with a stable company of
Park Service and U. S. Coast
Guard brass and were joined by the
officers of the Seabee Detachment
now stirring the earth just north
of the lighthouse and preparing
the foundations for a vast naval
facility that nobody mentions out
loud-since nobody except very
secret handful know what it is all
about anyhow.
But it was the final meeting of
Senator Scott and Paul Mellon
that made the days history. They
got on together mighty well under
the benign and utterly innocent
Cairns smile. They had a consider
able time getting him to get any

made him sort of puny.
There were beside the principals
a dozen or so of the National Park
Service staff and Director Conrad
Wirth came down but left before
time in the Mellon airplane for a
speaking engagement in the west

Virtually every sort of means

After the lunch set up right on the

Persons past age 65 who

application for benefits be-
cause they are still working,
were reminded today by Mr..
Henry ], Gromko, manager of
the social security office at 90
Warren Street, Roxbury, Mas

ings in 1855 are sufficiently
low they may receive full or
partial benefits for the year.
We are inclined to believe, .
Mr.. Gromko said, that there
are people who could receive
benefits for 1855 who have
so far not taken advantage
OF their rights, because OF
misunderstanding or confu-
sion as TO the new retirement
test in the law
