earlier than IL months before .ap-
plicaticn for the freeze, unless
the application was made before
the end of: June, 1857. For this
reason, a disabled person W o
failed to make his claim before
the end of June, and who had be-
come disabled before Ian. l. 1855,
would have lost his right to have
his social security record frozen
because he could not possibly
meet the work requirements.
Moreover, without the "freeze" he
might have lost future rights to
any social security benefits for
himself or his family, because at
the time he dies or becomes IS he
may not have the required work
credit. The law, as now amended,
gives those who were disabled be-
fore jan. l. 1855 un+' ne 70,
1858, to file an application for
he Durability freeze r. o~o+ect
their rights to old-age, survivors,
or disability insurance.
The amendment relating to dis
abled veterans modified the "off-
set" provision in the law so that
a social security disability insur-
ance benefit will not be reduced
because of compensation payable
to veteran by the Veterans Adj
ministration for his service-con-
nected disability. Mr.. Blonston
pointed out that the offset con-
tinues to apply in cases involving
veterans pensions which are paid
on account of nonservice-connect-
ed disability.

Edward P. Blonston, district
manager of the Miami (North)
Social Security Office, declared
today that a long-disabled work.
er now has until the beginning OF
July, 1858, to file an application
for the disability freeze" and still
have his social security earnings
record protected as of the date he
actually became disabled. He said
also that the law now permits a
veteran to receive compensation
from the Veterans Administration
for service-connected disability
without any reduction in the
amount of his disability insurance
benefits under social security.
These changes, significant to per-
sons who have been disabled for
some years and to those with SER
vice-connected disability, became
effective when President ESen-
hover signed Public Law 200 on
July II.
The purpose of the disability
freeze" Is to prevent those years
during which severe and indefi-
mite disability keeps a person out
of work from counting against

will likely be affected by the
terms of the Supreme Court de-
ciSion?
How many pupils. teachers and
classrooms are involved? How are
school district lines drawn? How
is the matter of indignation rela-
ed to such broader educational
questions as school financing,
transportation, overcrowding,
teacher training and supply, cur
riculum, textbooks and so on?
Armed with the facts, the dis
cussion group is equipped to work
constructively with its school
superintendent and board Of ed
ucation. Since most people feel
strongly about the schools their
children attend, education author
90 eve particularly sensitive to
to public opinion. So it is espec-
tally important for right thinking
citizens to express their interest
in the problems and progress of
their school system. Most school
officials will welcome positive
criticism, suggestions and support
by people who understand the
practical problems faced by the
policy-maker and administrator.
Clearly local discussion groups
that have reached informed
agreement between people of both
races can make a most valuable
contribution in this time Of chal-
lenge and adjustment.
OTHER THINGS TO DO
AS church members, we can
recognize the special obligation of
religious groups to create sound
indignation. The churches can do
parental attitude toward school
more than any other institution to
spread awareness that children
must not be made to suffer the
effects Of adult prejudice.
AS citizensf we can work for
impartial and effective law en-
'orcement in theevent of racitl
tension in the community.
AS members Of civic groups,
service clubs, labor organizations,
and the like, we can support en-
lightened action by public Off
Gals and help foster a healthy ci-
mate of opinion.
AS parents, we can urge that
our school systems be reshaped to
provide the most and the best ed
cation to every child, irrespec-
tive of race.

person cannot qualify for the

meeting disability requirements,
he has worked for at least five

This writer had the pleasure Of
addressing the Homestead branch
of the NAACP last Sunday. ]
spoke in Homestead for the first
time several years ago and was
very interested in noting the many
changes that have occurred in
three years. When one leaves the
Miami area, conditions are not
the same, and it is really quite a
task for Negroes to keep an
NAACP branch going in Home
stead or Perrine. In these places
one needs lot of moral courage
as well as determination, since in
this area almost the same kind
of agricultural economy exists as
in upper and middle Florida,
with the same kind Of Jim Crow
and white supremacists philoso-
ply. 80
When it was reported to me by
Don Williams, president of the
Perrine branch that they now
have three white members-well,
that's really news, coming from
this formerly solid segregationist
territory. Deacon Scott Of Home
stead said last Sunday that he
felt Negroes are waking up to the
dawn of new day. And I agree
that if a new day is breaking in
Perrine and Homestead, we can
be certain that a new pattern is
truly emerging in our fight for
freedom.
DISCUSSION GROUPS
The Southern Regional Council,
an excellent organization with
headquarters in Atlanta, Ga, and
devoted to better community and
area inter-racial and inter-group
relations, publishes many useful
pamphlets. Their publications on
school de-segregation are especial
ly helpful. From time to time I
will give some of their suggestions
on community preparedness for
migration. Discussion groups
have a distinct role in community
planning. Joint discussion, fact
finding, and planning by local
people of both races are the hall
marks Of healthy community
change In the South. Discussion
groups for these purposes, which
have already demonstrated their
effectiveness in many Southern
communities, are now needed
more than ever.
The first objective of such a
group should be frank exchange
of opinions. There must be ample
opportunity for the members of
the group to gain a sympathetic
understanding Of their respective
points-of-view.
FACT FINDING .k
Once attitudes and views have
been shared, the group can adj
dress itself to the facts about the
local school system. For example,

laws and policies? Which schools
