The unusual procedure OF ap-
pealing the verdict of a lower court
and then pleading guilty was en-
ployed on the opening day of Sus-
sex County Superior Court, Mon
day morning in order to obtain a
lesser sentence.
Appeals from the sentence OF
lower courts are frequent when i;
Is claimed by the defendant that
the sentence was unreasonable, but
as Deputy Attorney General Ralph
s. Baker pointed out, the law for
bids any appeal from a sentence
that is not more than 80 days.
In the case in question, the law
was discussed at length and Attor-
ney Daniel ]. Layton, Jr., repre-
senting the accused, said that in
this case the sentence was so ex-
cesive that he was willing to plead
his client guilty again before the
higher tribunal, confident that the
sentence would be lowered.
Attorney Layton said also that
his client, Robert Ingram of Flori-
da, claimed that he pleaded guilty
before Magistrate Morris Grover
man. Milford, November Is, of
speeding at so miles an hour but
that he was found guilty of driv-
ing 100 miles an hour, fined SIS and
sentenced to 80 days in jail
Judge James b. Carey said that
a man is guilty of speeding whe-
ther he is going 81 miles an hour
or 100 and that he would not
decide the speed at which In
gram was travelling. He said that
the motor vehicle commissioner re-
voked licenses of those travelling
"a certain speed" but that this
point could not be considered by
him.
After asking several questions,
Judge Carey fined the same SIS
imposed by Magistrate Groverman
but omitted the Jail sentence, CIV
ing as his reasons that this was
apparently Ingram's first offense
and he was needed back in Florida
on his job,
Ingram said that he was en-
ployed driving transient workers
back and forth from contract jobs.
Sterling White, general manager
of the Purina feed mill at Delmar
and immediate past president of
the Delmarva Poultry Industries,
Inc, urged town dwellers in Sus-
sex County to do everything pos
sible to promote the broiler indus
try since, he said, much of the
towns own economy rests on the
success of that industry.
He was speaker at the annual
Farm and City Week program of
the Georgetown Kiwanis Club, with
the Georgetown-Millsb Rotary
Club and the Georgetown Lions
Club uniting for the observance
in Grace Church Hall, last week.
Houston Wilson, president of XII
wants, presided at the meeting and

woMEN's SOCIAL SECURITY
Women Able to Get Monthly Pay
ments at Age 81 Years

Many women will have an i'm
portant decision to make when
they attain age 81. Under the
1856 Amendments to the Social
Security Act women are able to
obtain social security monthly
payments three years earlier than
under the old law, according to
Myron Milbouer, manager of the
Wilmington social security office.
The amount of the benefit, how
ever, will be reduced for women
workers and for wives of retired
workers. The amount of the reduc-
tion depends on the number of
months between the time pay
ments start and the time the ap-
plicant reaches age 65. This re-
duction is permanent even after
age 65 is attained. Widows and
dependent mothers of deceased
workers, however, may receive
unreduced benefits at age 81. Be
fore making a decision to start
getting benefit payments before
age 65, a working woman or a
wife of a retired worker will ma
turally want to know how long
she will be ahead in total bene-
fits paid.
AS a working woman she will
be ahead for the first 10 years;
as the wife of a retired benefici-
ary she will be ahead for the first
IL years.
The decision must be made by
each woman as to whether it's
worth more to her to have the
benefits before 65, at a perman-
emily reduced rate, or to wait un-
til 65 and get the higher rate4
The social security office will
furnish her with all necessary in
formation but the decision must
be made by the individual.
