DARE DRAWS SOCIAL
SECURITY TOTALING
$35I.I44 ANNUALLY
By End of 1859 3I4 Persons Were
On the Rolls Says
Dist. Office

At the end of 1859, as Federal
social security was starting its
twenty-fifth year, old-age, survi-
vors, and disability insurance
monthly benefits We're being paid
in the Manteo area to GA persons
at the rate of 1851 ,144.OO a year,
according to Earl w. Trinkle, Field
Representative, serving this area
from the Norfolk social security
district office. This is a substan-
tial increase in number of bene-
ficiaries and amount since Febru-
airy 1859, the last previous date
for which figures are available, he
said. There are several reasons
for the increase it was stated.
Among them being the long-term
growth and longevity OF the aged
and that portion of the. population
eligible for benefits. He also
stressed the point that while the
benefits are intended primarily for
the individual economic security,
these payments in such large
amounts help business in the COM
munities generally because most of
the money is spent Immediately on
food, clothing and other necessi-
ties.
Nationally, he said about 1875
million persons were receiving old
age, survivors, and disability in
surance monthly benefits at the
end of 1859 at an annual rate Of
more than $40 billion. The old-age
insurance average monthly pay
ment in this area compares favor
ably with the average for this
region of $65.45.
He also pointed out that almost
half a million disabled-worker
beneficiaries and their dependents
receiving benefits nationally a
yearly rate of over $400 million.
In this region the average pay

BEACH AUTO MlSHAP
CREATES HEAVY LOSS

Il cost Claude ]. Stillman Of
Edenton $25 for the reckless and
careless driving which resulted in
damages Of $500 to one car and
complete wreck of another. None
of the facts came out in court,
Tuesday, the defendant merely be-
ing allowed to plead guilty and
pay q standard fine, and no evil
dence was put on. Stillman ran in
to the rear Of the 1866 Chevro-
let belonging to Edward Lee Mid
gett of Kitty Hawk Saturday night
on u. S. 1853 in the town of Kill
Devil Hills. Stillman told town Of
ficers, N. A. Tilett and Tom Dow
dy that he was going IS mph and
didn't see Midgett's car until too
late to stop. Fortunately no one
was injured, but it seems that a
property damage so heavy in this
case should be scrutinized more
carefully in court. There might
easily have been some one killed
where so much damage is done.

the shores of the mainland the
speaker declared. He also pointed
out that the park should help adj
joining areas by attracting an in
creasing flow of tourists through
this section.

Seashore park "the finest stretch
of undeveloped shore along the
Atlantic coast" He said in develop
ing it, the Park Service in pro-
viding only those services net suit
ed to private enterprise-namely,
swimming areas, parks and camp
grounds. He also pointed out vari-
Gus museums are being set up to
focus attention on some aspects of
the region.

Linwood Cutrell, Engelhard native
who now resides at Manteo where
he is engaged in the construction
business.
