Pat Bayne, currently King OF
the pirates in Dare, distinction

will be encouraging males of Dare
to grow boards. He will be issuing
DEGREES relative to beard growing
rules from time to time.
If it is good season for boards,
one of the most fabulous crop of
chin whiskers of all time should
be ready to harvest during late
April, after the annual competition
of the fourth annual Dare Coast
Pirates Jamboree April 24-27.
Dare is the only place in the
world where boards are grown tt

behind it all is to produce a beart

PROSPECTS CONSIDERED GOOD
If EFFORT STEPPED UP ON
DARE COASTLAND In 1858
There1I Be Silver Shining Through the Clouds Of
Economic Tightening Up. If Few Simple
Rules Are Followed and We Keep On Our Toes
And Take Advantage of New Factors Now In
the Picture.

Many observers believe the gen
eral economic Tightening up
throughout the country as the re-
suit of higher living costs, in
creased Federal taxes here and
there will not be too bad for the
Dare Coastland during 1858 if a
few rules are followed. We will
endeavor to outline a few of the
handicaps that may operate
against us, and what we may do
to overcome them.
We also may take note of some
of the bright spots in the picture
that have developed through the
year, whereby we may turn them
to good account for our business
interests. In considering new ven
lures, it is well to take into ac-
count the Importance that all
things be up to date. Nothing
which is haphazard or make-shift
will do. 1t is a buyers market now,
and the public has come to demand
nothing less than the best.
We are faced with constantly
rising living costs, national trend
to divert public expenditures to the
field of national defense and pur-
suit of advancement in the field
of atomic missiles and launching
of satellites in order to keep UP
with and surpass, if possible, the
gains that have been made by the
Reds. Consequently, we may ex-
pect little public money to be spent
in comparatively remote areas such
as ours, and will see it turned loose
in the distant places to the profit
of businessmen and workers some
distance from US.
But we can make the most of
what we have to offer those people
who will have money to spend, by
making our region more attractive
to those who will be able to travel
in search of recreation. We have

MARCH OF DIMES OPENS
"OPERATION COMEBACK

The March of Dimes will launch
it's 1858 polio fund campaign here
and throughout the country in jan
uary on the dramatic note that
for thousands of polio-blighted vic
Tins Survival is Not Enough"
Most of the money sought in the
drive is needed to help disabled
polio patients stage "comebacks"
from helplessness to usefulness.
The Salk vaccine developed by
, the March of Dimes has scored
dramatically in preventing new
paralytic polio cases, officials say,
but during the last year it has
been necessary to spend total of
$21, 100000 in March of Dimes
funds on the care and rehabilita-
tion of patients. These patients
numbered $500 of whom $4,000
were victims of old attacks.
Since most of this cost is in the
form of continuing care for pa
tients stricken in preceding years,
the obligation will continue next
year with very little letup, it was
pointed ont.
Additional funds are necessary
for an expanded research program
to explore many new aspects of
virology; for the training of pro-
fessional workers in the rehabili-
tation and science research fields;
and for a still urgent program of
public education to encourage use
of the Salk vaccine.
The campaign will be held
through the month of January. A
feature of the opening of the cam
paign this year will be the observ-
ance of the goth anniversary of
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis, the polio-fighting
organization which the March of
Dimes supports.
This will be an occasion for re-
calling our victories of the past,
including the creation of the Salk
vaccine said Basil O'Connor,
president Of the National Founda-
tion, "and for looking ahead to new
challenges. Most important Of all,
it will be the occasion for pledging
ourselves to assist, insofar as we
are able, those who were stricken
and now still need help"

Mr.. Blonston said most individ-

ties are unable to work. There are
cases, however, where a person
, with such a severe disability is
working, or able to work, be-
cause of his special knowledges
and skills. He would not be ELI
gible under the social security
disability provisions the district
manager said, because he would
be able to engage in substantial
gainful activity. On the other
hand, person might work occa-
Sionally or internationally but this
would not necessarily mean that
he was unable to engage in SUBJ
Stantial gainful activity. Both the
nature of the work and the
amount of money he earned
would have to be considered.

More than one hundred thou
sand severely disabled people in
communities all over the Nation
will receive their first social Sc
curity disability insurance checks
in August, announced Edward P.
Blonston, District Manager of the
Miami (North) Social Security
Office. today. But many other eli
gible disabled workers SO to 65
years of age, some of them no
doubt living in Miami, have so
far failed to make application to
their social security offices. Those
who have been disabled for work
for long time must APPLY be-
fore June 80, Mr.. Blonston point
ed out, or they will lose their
rights to these new benefit pay
ments.
Any severely disabled person
who has worked under social Sc
curity for at least years and who
has been disabled for 6 months or
more should get in touch with
his social security office right
away, the social ,2ecurity district
manager said. If he is between so
and IS years of age, he may he
eligible for monthly disability in
sursnce benefits. If he is under
so, he may he eligible to have
his social security record frozen
to protect his future right to dis
ability payments and also his and
his fanily's rights to old-age and
survivors insurance benefits.
UNFORTUNATELY there is lot of
misunderstanding Mr.. Blonston
said ,ahSso' how disabled worker
has 10 he to get social security
disability insurance benefits or to
have his social security record
frozen. The rules in the social Sc
curly law for deciding whether
a person is disabled are different
from the rules in some other
Government and private disability
programs" To be found "dig-
abled" under the social security
law, he said, a worker must have
a disability which, in the words
of the law, makes him unable
"to engage in any substantial
gainful activity" 1t must be the
kind of physical or mental con-
dition which shows up in the
medical evidence, including his
doctors report, hospital reports,
or special tests, and it must have
lasted for at least 6 months and
be expected to continue for a
long and indefinite time.
In general, he said, "substan-
tial gainful activity" means the
performance of substantial
amount of work with reasonable
regularity in employment or self
employment. A person does not
have to be completely helpless to
qualify under the social security
disability provision, Mr.. BlonSton
emphasized. Consideration is given
to all of the facts in the individ-
ual's situation both medical and
non-amedical.
First consideration is, of course,
given to the severity of hic con-
dition as shown by the medical
evidence. This evidence must
show that the person has a con-
dition which makes him unable
to perform significant functions
such as moving about, handling
objects, hearing. speaking, UNDER
standing, or reasoning. so that he
cannot with his training, educa-
ton and work experience engage
in any kind Of substantial gain
full activity.
examples Of some impair
sments which would ordinarily be
considered severe enough to pre-
vent substantial gainful activity
are:
