WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Jan.
29.-The rising interest in
early American history and
culture was reflected here
yesterday in a record breaking
registration at the ninth an
nual Antiques Forum.
Among the $50 historians,
museum directors, collectors
and dealers attending the
opening of the week long SEES
sion at Colonial Williamsburg
were 20 Washington area
registrantS.

antiques are being used to
stimulate an appreciation of
the life and times of the
American colonists.
First Forum
Mrs. Frank Barger of Chevy

Three Injured In
Weekend Traffic
On County Roads

Only three accidents were re-
ported on Madison County roads
over the weekend, according to re-
ports from the Madison County
Sheriff's office and the London
Post of the State Highway Patrol.
In all three accidents, one of the
parties involved was over 63 years
of age. One was ga and two were
72.
The first accident occurred Fri
day afternoon when a car driven
by Willard Smith, 72, Columbus,
struck an Ohio National Guard ve-
hicle at the 29-42 intersection. The
National Guard driver was Mach
ael Casper, 18. Akron.
According to the report by High
way Patrol officers, the National
Guard troops had roadguards al
the intersection, in jeep, but had
no foot guards on both sides of the
road. Smith said he saw that he
had the green light, and failed to
understand the purpose of the two
men in the jeep, parked on the op-
posite side of route AZ. No charges
were filed. and no injuries in
volved. Only minor damage was
reported.
In the second Highway Patrol
accident investigation, officers said
Bernice McPeek, 80, West Jeffer,
son was starting to make a lega,
left turn off route 40 East of West
Jefferson when her vehicle was
struck in the rear by a car driver
by Riley Burch, y, BrooksvilIe
Indiana.
No injuries were involved. but
Burch was cited for unsafe opera
tion. He was fined $500 and cost!
in West Jefferson Mayors Court
with the costs suspended.
The only accident reported by
the Sheriff's Department involved
two cars which collided at the 665
Spring Valley Road intersection
Ten passengers were in the vehic
les, all from Columbus.

Vehicles Wreck
As Driver Lost
Control OF Car

Four persons narrowly escaped
serious injury and possibly death
Monday afternoon when their au-
tomobile and house trailer over
turned just west of Summerford
on Route 40.
The house trailer which was be-
ing towed behind a 1856 station
wagon, was completely demolished
and the contents were scattered
and thrown over a wide area be-
tween the two lanes of route 40
The station wagon was turned up
side down on one of the Westbound
lanes of route 40 for about an hour
while wrecker crews and state
highway patrol officers cleared the
debris out of the traffic lanes.
State patrolmen said the driver
of the station wagon, Lorraine
Williams, 26, Lamonte, Missouri,
Route l, lost control of the We
hicle, and left the road. When the
trailer hit the BERN, it swerved
and upset, actually smashing the
trailer to pieces, leaving only the
flooring intact.
Passengers in the vehicle with
Mrs. Williams were her husband,
Raymond Williams, and two sons,
James, seven years and Eugene,
eight months. Only minor scratch
eS and abrasions were reported as
| injuries. Even a mother dog and
four little puppies in the vehicle
at the time of the crash came
through without injuries.
In other action by the Highway
Patrol late Monday, Walter House
worth, 33, Route 2, London, was
charged with driving while intoxi-
Gated after his vehicle had crash
ed through several yards of fence
on the Correll Maxey Road.
Patrolmen said Houseworth fail
ed to negotiate the curve and
crashed through the fence after
leaving the road He was not in
iured. His hearing will be in Lon
don Mayors Court.

Examined Friday
In Special Test

If department of state govern
ment expects the citizenry to con-
form to a procedure which would
result in greater safety, it is only
right that such department per-
sonnel should establish precedent
by original conformance to the
procedure.
Frank M. Williams, Division
Deputy Director Of Ohio Highways
Department, Division Six, an
nounced that employees of the
highway department did exactly
that by taking compulsory visual
performance tests being conducted
for all highway employees through
a state-sponsored personnel and
equipment safety program. High
way employees of Madison Coun-
ty, which is one of eight counties
within the jurisdiction of Division
Six, were given the tests Friday.
The visual performance tests on
Bausch-Lomb "Ortho-rater" de-
termines whether the quality of
vision meets the standards for eff
ficient performance of the parti-
cular type Of job in which the en-
ployee is engaged The standards
are high for personnel who oper-
ate state vehicles and in the event
that the test reveals that an en-
ployee has defective vision, the
employee will be taken off of any
job that involves operation of
vehicle, until such time that the
vision defect is corrected
Williams stated, Actually the
tests are being conducted in con-
junction with Governor O'NeilPs
! program for greater highway safe
! ty. In a recent communication
with the Governor, he informed me
that the visual performance tests
being conducted have his enthus-
iastic and whole-hearted endorse
ment He further instructed me to
! give the program my utmost sup
port, any assistance that may be
required and impressed upon me
that it was imperative that state
highway department employees set
a good and favorable example for
others to follow in the efficient OPP
Grafton of vehicles"
Various aspects of vision are
checked including eye balance.
depth perception, color definition
and visual acuity which determines
how sharply an individual can see.
Duplicates of testing results will
be forwarded to the Bausch-Lomb
research laboratory for profession
al conclusions. Employees having
visual defects will then be notified
and requested to see an eye spec
ialist of their own choice for cor
rection and treatment.
Prior to taking the tests, all en-
ployees attended an instruction
meeting on safe driving, traffic
laws, traffic problems confronting
the department, departmental pol
icies and how accidents can be
avoided.

We Are Growing Older
County's Aid To Retired Climbing
Rapidly On Social Security Rolls

More than 612 retired workers in
Madison County were getting
monthly social security insurance
payments totalling S33,587 at the
end of 1856. This compares with
$50 old-age beneficiaries receiving
S28, ,239 monthly in the same coun-
ty year earlier, c. c. Darby So
cial Security Administration dis
trict manager in Columbus, de-
clared today.
At the end of 1856, monthly ben
eft payments were going to $50
WIVES or aged dependent husbands
of old-age beneficiaries and to 81
aged widows or dependent aged
widowers and parents in Madison
County. The 12-month increase in
aged beneficiaries is due partly to
the lowering from 65 to 81 of the
age at which a woman without an
entitled child in her care may
qualify for benefits, Darby said.
The lowering of the retirement age
for women was one of the proVi-
sions of the 1856 Amendments to
the Social Security Act and be-
came effective last November. 1t
applies to retired women workers,
wives of old-age beneficiaries, and
widows or dependent mothers of
deceased insured workers. Many
women who would have had to
wait up to three years longer be-
fore starting to get benefits under
the old law became entitled to ben
efits in the last two months of
1856.
Noting that OASI coverage has
taken hold rapidly in recent years,
Darby pointed out that three
fourths of the men becoming 65
this year will be eligible for social
security benefits. OF all people ov-
er 65 years of age, 62 percent are
now drawing benefits or will be
entitled to draw them when their
income from work stops.
In December 1856, 143 children
in Madison County were being paid
total of S5,399 monthly. These
were largely minor children of a
deceased insured parent; a smaller
number were children under Is
whose insured father or mother
had retired. All of these were un-
married children under Is. While
child's benefits ordinarily stop at
age 18, Darby called attention to a
recent change in the law which
makes payments possible for a
child over 18, based on the insured
account of a retired or deceased
parent, if the child became totally
disabled before reaching Is. Pay
mentS will be made also to the
mother who has the disabled child
in her care. This provision did not
become effective until January
1857; consequently, disabled child
| beneficiarieS are not included in
the total given above.
If the child of a retired or de-
ceased person is entitled to month
ly payments, the childs mother
may also be entitled to benefits, re-
gardless of her age. In Madison
County at the end of 1856, 81 Wi
dowed mothers who were caring
for child beneficiaries were receiv-
ing S1,595 per month.
Commenting on the growth of
the social security insurance in the
20 years of its operation, Darby re-
called that the original law cover
ed about 26 million workers; as of
March 1857 approximately 55.5
million people were in work cover
ed by the law, and more than 9 out
of every 10 persons who work for
a living and 9 out of 10 mothers
and children have stake in the
social security insurance program.
