Social Security News

"Farm-City Week, which is be-
ing observed nationwide this week
gives us an opportunity to stress
the part old-age, survivors, and
disability insurance is playing in
the American way of life" Myron
Milbouer, district manager of the
Wilmington social security office,
announced today.
The Social Security Administra-
tion, through the Wilmington office
is cooperating with farm and busi-
ness industries in this years OBJ
servance of Farm-City Week.
I'VE of the Social Security Ad-
ministration are in accord with
President Eisenhower who, in his
1857 proclamation of Farm-City
Week said: - it is fitting that
all citizens, rural and urban, should
recognize their interdependence in
contributing to the strength, char
acter. and prosperity of our Ma
tion'," Milbouer declared.
He pointed out that the problem
of family income in case the bread
winners earnings are cut off by
old-age. disability, or death is COM
mon to both city and farm workers
Social security is designed to help
solve this problem, but there is
still need for people to understand
that the program applies to city
and country folks alike" he said
Milbouer believes that many far
mers feel that social security for
them is a special" program. This
is especially true where retirement
benefits are concerned, he said.
Much of the misunderstanding is
due to the fact that farmers, un-
like most city people, continue to
live at their place of business af-
ter retiring from full activity. The
local manager pointed out, how
ever, that farmers are subject tC
the same restrictions on receiving
social security benefits when they
have earnings after retirement as
are other beneficiaries of the pro-
gram.
Emphasizing that old-age insur-
ance payments for the farmer are
not a farm subsidy, Milbouer point
ed out that farmers right 10 con-
tinue TO. receive old-age insurance
benefits after retirement will be
governed by the amount of his ear
nings and the time devoted to farm
activities during his years of re-
tirement. The law permits him tC
taper-off in work, work part-timt
or seasonally without losing all ol
any of his monthly payments. This
provision is the same as that ap.
plying to social security benefi-
ciaries who work in cities after
their retirement, he said.

Circling placidly above this
house at an elevation of no more
than hundred feet as ! begin to
write, is an aircraft that weighs
10000 pounds. The building of it
cost more than the aggregate of
all the churches and school houses
in Dare County. 1t is not pretty
aircraft. 1t protrudes here and
there with blisters, with extruded
cysts that house instruments OF
one sort or another which it is moi
proper to so much as whisper
about.
There are two engines with !:
total of three dozen cylinders and
each cylinder produces the power
of all the 100 wild horses which
are now about to be epxelled from
my neighboring Island of Ocra-
coke. Each cylinder has two spark
plugs, making q total of six dozen
spark plugs, which is about as far
as my knowledge of internal COM
bustion devices goes. But l am in
formed that these engines could.
if they chose to do so, have that
aircraft circling placidly above
some other continent by supper
time.
Less than mile away from me,
and from the placid drone above
my roof, there is, or so / am in
formed, a youth placidly watching
the dials of an instrument. So far
he has had little commerce with a
razor and just managed to scrape
past the examiners who certified
him as a high school graduate. But
this youth, just by looking at his
dial, can tell if any one of the six
dozen spark plugs in the engines
above this house is not firing prop
erly. And for aught l know he
could by just pressing button,
stop it from firing at al.
And on the other hand, also by
hearsay, another youth inside one
of the extruded cysts on the air.
craft can look at the dials on his
instrument and tell whether the
youth at the other instrument, the
one on the ground, has brushed his
teeth this morning. 1t is conciev-
able, even, that the airborne youth
might, if he thought it worth while
or if somebody in authority told
him to do so, might press but
ton and actually brush the teeth of

it is lighthouse again because a
miracle was wrought at the foot of

to be very greatly concerned with
miracles, not even electronic mir
acles.
Within the shadow of the Light

the major miracles of this era in
full operation. Or at least the reas-
enable presumption is that it is in
operation. The Islanders accept it
as matter of course and good

than half century ago, when an

that it was young Richard Daley,
charged with the operation of the
machinery that night in another

heard the death-cry Of vast un-

her death two thousand miles
away.
