To qualify for disability in

cred by the law for a certain
amount of time. You must
have had at least 5 years of
work that count towards So

at least ~ years of that

If you have been disabled

approved, will freeze" your

a person could meet the earn

freeze" your earnings record
for only one year back from
the date the application is
made. This means that on an
application made before the

The young mother said she
wrapped the infant in a blue
and white blanket, carried him
to the basement and threw
the baby in the furnace where
she had just started a fire.
She told police she closed
the furnace door as the child
started to scream. She said
she then went to her sisters
home next door and chatted
for about an hour.
Upon returning home, Mrs.
Davis stated, she went to the
basement to look at the
child's remains.
She said she discovered that
some parts of the body had
not completely burned. With
her purse as protection, she
said she pushed the unburned
parts into the roaring flames.

ferent from the present two

along these lines can be writ

troll the prices paid to the

YOUNG DOCTOR STUN

Shelby, n. C.-The chsrred
remains of the popular young
physician, DR.. G. w, Single

office here. The doctor was
burned beyond recognition in
the fire which was discovered
Tuesday morning at about
1870 am. in his office on the
second floor of a two story
building.
Friends of the physician ex-
pressed knowledge of a plan
ned trip of the doctors to
VISIT his wife and children.
The physicians car was park
ed III front of his office al
ready packed with luggage,
clothing, and children's TOYS.
1t Is rumored that the
young doctors death might
be attributed to race trouble,
growing out recent contro-
versy at the Negro High
School, but the chief of DO
lice says that there is no ap-
parent grounds for such. He
also stated that coroner's
jury has been appointed,
which consists of three Negro
and three white men.
DR.. Shelby's planned trip
to Nashville, Tennessee was

dissertations on the amount

Club Quits
Park When
Negro Is
Barred

Chapel Hill-A group of
80 students belonging to the
University of North Carolina
University Cosmopolitan Club
refused to hold a picnic at
the William B. Umstead Park
last Sunday when one of the
guest members of the club,
Leroy Frasier, a sophomore
from Durham, was requested
to leave the segregated park.
The disclosure was made by
Sipra Rose, the club presi-
dent.
The group had gone to the
park to hold its spring picnic,
but when Frazier was denied
admission ON the basis of his
color and told by an attendent
that he would have to go to a
Negro park not far away, the
group decided that such a dis
play of nariac prejudice was
too much for them to stom-
ach. They left, therefore,
holding their picnic at Ho-
gan's lake.
According to an on the
scene witness, Fred Crawford.
Frazier offered to leave so
that the club could have it's
picnic. And other members
stated that he tried to Dor
row a car so as to leave. But
his efforts were vetoed when
his fellow students decided
that if Frazier could not en-
ter the William B. Umstead
Park, they would not.
Commenting on the Incl
dent editorally, the Daily Tar
Heel stated last Tuesday: ut

rassed by southern racial

made. 1t is easy to see that
delay in applying in a situa-
ton like this will lower your
average monthly earnings and
the amount of your benefits.
If you have been disabled
for a long time, failure to
apply before the end of June
may mean complete loss of
your eligibility for disability
benefit payments. 1t would
work this way: suppose you
were disabled so that you
could not work any time be-
fore January 1855, say March
1854. If you delay making
an application to establish the
disability until July 1857, the
period of your disability by
the terms of the law must
begin with July 1856. Re-
member, one requirement for
eligibility for disability bene-
fits is that you have ~
years of work in the 3 years
just before the date your dis
ability began. Figuring back
from the beginning date (July
1866 of your disability, in
this case, you now have only
"a of a year of work and
therefore cannot be, eligible
for disability benefit pay
ments.
If you have worked under
social security and are dis
abled and if you feel that
your disability is severe
enough to meet the require
ments of the social security
law, get in touch with our
district office as soon as pos
sible.
If you were disabled more
than a year ago, it is especial
ly important for you to get
in touch with us before the
end of June. If you wait un-
til later, it may be too late.

discuss the Importance of the

abled persons regardless of
age and regardless of their i'm
mediate right to disability in

Many gardeners are under the
impression that their gardens
will not look neat and tidy I'M
less they remove every bit OF
dead foliage. They rake their
lawns so vigorously that they
probably do more harm than
good, and they trim all OF the
dead foliage from perennials
remove the dead leaves from
around their evergreens, and
look askance at a mulch unless
it is inconspicuous.
This obviously requires a great
deal of work on the part of the
gardener.
The question is whether 1t is
the right thing for the health
and success of the lawn, shrub
berry. and flowers.

The alternative is to replace
the dead foliage with peatmoss

Morning light, says Ernst j.
