~FLUORESCENT COLOR
SAFEST FOR HUNTER

Safety minded hunters will
wear a bright new color this
year - the fluorescent orange.
A study involving colors for
hunters has shown that new
fluorescents are far superior to
any others and of these, the
daylight f~luorescent orange is
the color that will save more
lives in the woods. While hunt
ing fatalities have never reach
ed alarming proportions, they
still occur each year; therefore,

Social Security
REVIEW

Is retirement just around the

of years. In either case, be sure
to include social security as a

plan. The District Manager of

there is trouble in getting need

Research has shown why
Johnsongrass is SO hard to con-
troll. The reason is its tremen-
dous reproductive power.
A single plant may produce
a pound and a half of seed, in
addition to 200 feet of roots or
rhizomes from which new plants
develop. This has recently been
reported by DR.. c. G. McWhor-
ter, USDA plant psychologist
working comparatively with the
Delta Branch Experiment Sta
ton at Stoneville.
For a basic study of the
growth and development of the
Johnson grass plant DR.. Nc
Whorter selected a well-drained
fertile area previously uninfest-
ed with the grass. He found a
seeding plant very little diff
ferent from one coming from an
established root system. BY the
time il is three weeks old. the
seeding begins TO develop rhi-
zones and produce them as
rapidly as established plants.
The Delta study included tests

Retired Workers
Urged To Contact
Social Security Office

Many people past retirement
age in the Greenwood Area are
losing money because they be-
lieve that they must stop work
ing completely in order to get
social security. According to
Luther II. Bolton, District Man
ager Of the Greenwood Social
Security Office, this is a COM
mon misunderstanding.
Any person who gets old-age
benefits may earn up 20 $1,000
a year and still receive his ben
eft check every month Mr.. Boil
ton explained. He also gets a
check for all months after he
is u.

ed will mean 81 less in benefits
For example, a man earning
exactly $500 would get $50
less in benefits. A man earning
$1,000 would have $3.50 deducted
from his social security checks
for that year. No matter how
much the total earnings are for
the year, a full social security
check is payable for any month
in which the applicant neither
earns wages of more than 500
nor operates a business. Mr.. Boil
ton stated that investment in

benefits do not count toward
these amounts.

EXPANDING COTTON


Cotton : conscious Mississippi

forecast that the demand for
American cotton in both domes-

climb to 16,30O,0 900 bales by

1870. There is an indication that
the increased need will stem

Teach children not to get fat.
The folks who are authorizes
on the problem of overweight
say it is more important to teach
young children the habit of not
getting fat than it is to teach
them to brush their teeth regu-
larly. 1t is more important from
health and social standpoints,
they say.
The teaching of young children
to watch their weight depends
largely on mothers good meal
planning. From the child's early
days the mother must realize
that the day is past of the idea
that a plump, overfed is a
healthy baby - that to be big
is the same as to be strong and
healthy.
Don't put more food before
small children than they need,
and then insist, threaten or con-
julie until it is eaten. How many
times does mother give baby
an unneeded bottle for no bet
ter reason than to keep him
from crying?
Research shows that most fat
children were not overweight at
BIRTH. They grew fat. in mos
cases because they were taught
or encouraged TO eat more Gallo
ries than they needed. Parents
often st the example of over
eating.
Overeating from early child
hood results in teenage and adult
obesity. Overweight in a man
or woman who was fat as a child
is the hardest TO overcome.
