Social Security
PenSiOner

THARLIE SMITH says he's 119 years old.
~ Whether you believe him or not and
here are his pictures Government ap-
parently does. He's listed at that age on the
rolls of the Social Security office, and tops
their list of centenarians receiving monthly
allotment Charlie gets $40, having quail
fled for Social Security by working steadily
for year and half as fruit picker at the
age of 49, He started collecting his first
payments at the end Of this time.
Furthermore, according to official
sources. all the main points of Charles story
seem to check out on investigation He recalls
that he was playing in his back yard in Lii
IBERIA, Africa, when he was about IL. He heard
that ship was in at the dock and went to
have look. He was invited aboard, and a
few weeks later found himself in New Or
leans, where he was sold as slave to Texas
rancher named Charles Smith This was in
1854. he figures. Charlie recalls that his first
overseer was named Legree, and the Library
of Congress records confirm that there were
two Legree brothers who were slave over
seers in the mid.185Os. However, Charlie
doesn't report any cruel treatment. The
rancher gave his name to the new slave. and
young Charlie became personal servant to
the two Smith children.
Charlie was about 81 when LincolnS
Emancipation Proclamation freed him, but
he chose to stay on at the ranch, living much
as before. He picked July 4, 1912, as his OFF,
cial birthdate. Because slaves had no written
birth records, most of them selected holi-
day as their birthday, estimating the year
on the basis of their age at that time.
When rancher Smiths children grew up
and left home. Charlie also left, making his

way to Florida toward the end of the 18th
century and staying there ever since as an
orange picker and oddjob man. The Polk
City postmaster, a man Of 40, recalls that
when he was a child Charlie Smith was
In 1885, when applying for job, Charlie
gave his age as IS, though he was probably
over 80. He apparently didn't want to lose
the job by being considered overage.
Charlie applied for Social Security pay
ments in 1856, when he was ia, an age the
agency found startling. When his age was
made public, Smith began to get offers for
public appearances Recently, he was billed
at a movie theater as the man who knew
Jesse James," and Charlie says he does re-
member meeting James in Texas many years
ago. His memories span SO many years that
he usually recollects events by linking them
to Presidents, of whom he has seen 81 come
and 60. THAT was in Hoover'S time," he will
say.
For the last few years, Smith has been
operating a small refreshment stand in part
of his home on the outskirts of Polk City
He lives alone and does his own housework
and yard work, walks the mile and half to
town every few days. His sales of soft drinks
and cookies to neighbors help supplement
his $40 monthly Government allotment.
Smith has no particular secret for lon
gevity but attributes his years and health to
trust in the Lord and doing good deeds"
He claims he's never been ill and never taken
medicine. He eats lightly, mainly bread and
sausage. and usually starts the day with a
soft drink. Smith says he once heard that
man in South America lived to be 1877, and
he hopes to pass this record.

Time was when only beat-up
floors were painted.
But now it is fashionable to
paint floors for contrast or to give
a lift to a tired, dull room. One
is likely to see the best of floors
wearing a coat of paint in the new
est, gayest decorator colors.
Old floors may require prepar-
alton before they are pa n t d.
Cracks should be filled in. Caulk-
ing compounds are available for
that purpose and their oil ingre-
dents permit the part that is ex-
tects and keeps elastic the COM
pound not on the surface.
You can't sand over these floor
filings so it is best to sand In
advance of the floor treatment.
Many people prefer a profession
al sander The job is dirty, tire
some, noisy and unpleasant and
amateurs are likely to give up in
despair or do a slipshOd job. Sand
ing machines may be rented at
hardware, lumber and general
stores and the rental agent will
give instructions on the operation
of the machine and use of sand
paper.
You may prefer to paint your
floors without any sanding. 1t has
been done successfully and works
out best when a darker color is
used over existing paint or when
