THE YAZOO RIVER
By Frank E. Smith
“With its statelite streams, the
Yazoo is one of the major tribu
taries of the Mississippi, out
ranked only by the Ohio among
, the streams which flow from
, the east into the Father of Wa
: ters. With the extreme limit of
its watershed barely touching
Tennessee, the Yazoo is entirely
within the state of Mississippi,
not even forming part of a state
boundary line. Although confin
ed to the northwest quarter of
i one state, the story of the Yazoo
is more than anything else, the
story of the Deep South, a region
that was an American frountier
for one hundred and fifty years.
The story of the Yazoo country is
the story of the role of cotton and
high water and their influence on
American life.” quoted from the
inroduction to the books, as estab
i lishing the theme.
This latest volume of the “Riv
ers of America” series begins
with the Indians native to the
region and continues to the pre
sent-day, when mechanized cotton
farming and diversified crops
are helping to smooth the transi
tion from the Old to the New.
There are many short quotations
from authors and travelers con
temporary to the period under
discussion. The style is informal
and discursive, making the books
more readable than THE SAVAN
NAH. In fact, there is something
of the descriptive quality of the
Mississippi lagoons to be found
in INDIGO BEND, by Mrs. Grah
am. Georgia is linked with the
early settlers because many of
these were rich planters who
left the worn-out arces on the
Seaboard to take advantage of
the rich delta soil in the Yazoo
One of these was the grand
father of the writer Stark Young,
who wrote' of the ante bellum
glory in the novel SO RED THE
ROSE.
Showing meticulous research
and accuracy of detail, the book
is limited to a factual spirit. It
breathes the living, fabulous
I story that the name “Yazoo” im
I plies.

ALTAR
THOUGHTS
BY REV. R. B. HAWKINS
HEARING HIS VOICE
“He that hath an ear, let him
hear.” Rev. 2:29
If God can get you to listen to
His voice He can save you. He
has sought to get the attention of
His children down through the
ages. Those who have listened to
His voice have been His spiritual
sons and daughters. Those who
have turned a deaf ear to His call
have become the sons and daught
ers of perdition.
God calls us to personal purity
and goodness but His call does
not stop there. He is seeking our
service in the establishment of
His Kingdom in the lives of men
and women throughout the word.
Jesus answered the call to service
which culminated in the Cross.
The saints and martyrs of the
church became saints and mar
tyrs because they were all the
while spiritually sensitive to the
voice of God.
Prayer: May we gladly listen to
Thy Voice, Our Father, that is
ever present with us. In His name.
Amen. *
TOMATO JUICE POWDER
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has announced that the
Agricultural Research Service has
developed a tomato juice powder
and that commercial processors
are considering the development
of the powder. Because of its
natural quality, stability, and
lower packaging costs, officials
say the powder can be expected to
find bnjh a civilian and military

Social Security Amendments
Important to Newton Farmers
The Amendments to the Social
Security Act which President
Eisenhower signed into law on
September 1, 1954, are of partic
ular importance to both farm
operators and farm workers in
Newton County, Josenh R. Mur
phy, Manager of the Atlanta
Social Security District Office,
said today.
The new law extends social
security protection to almost all
farm families after this year.
Nationwide, about 3,600,000 self
employed farm operators will be
covered for the first time in
much the same way as other
self-employed persons already
under the program. Approxi
mately 2,100,000 more hired
farm workers will start build
ing old-age and survivors in
surance protection for themselves
and their families on January
1, 1955.
This means that by the time
they have worked through two
more crop years, elderly farm
people may be insured, so that
they can receive monthly social
security checks after age 65. A
farmer’s family will be protect
ed, too, so that if he should die,
at any age, the widow and
young children would receive
monthly payments. For a retired
farmer and his wife, the pay
ments will be from $45 to almost
$163 a month, depending upon
his earnings, while the family of
an insured worker who dies will
receive from $45 to S2OO a month.
The amended law does away
with the complicated “regularly
employed” test whereby a work
er had to be continuously em
ployed by- a farm operator be
fore his work started to count
toward social security. Also
eliminated is the provision that
he must then be employed by
the same farm operator on a full
time basis for at least sixty days
during the following quarter.
The amended law replaces this
test with the requirement that,
beginning January 1, 1955, an
agricultural employee will be
covered by social security in any
calendar year in which is paid
The Basic Idea
Behind the All-New
1955 Pontiac
♦
On Display October 29 and 30
About 30 years ago General Motors Cor
poration presented to America a new
car called Pontiac. This new car was the
direct result of a very specific idea.
The idea was this: to create a car which took
its style, its engineering principles and its
features from the very best and most expen
sive in America— and to build these into a
car priced just above the very lowest!
Naturally, such an idea produced a wonder
ful and highly popular car—a car which mil
lions of satisfied owners have driven with
outstanding pride and pleasure.
Now. nearly three decades later, an entirely
new Pontiac has been created for 1955—a car
completely new from the ground up!
One thing, however, about the 1955 Pontiac
remains unchanged—its basic idea— to offer
the American public the very finest car that
can possibly be built to sell at a price within
easy reach of any new-car buyer.

as much as SIOO in cash by one
farm employer. .
While this amendment to the
Social Security Act will bring
coverage to many more farm
workers, the new law does not
cover the most intermittent or
short-time workers, and does
not impose on the farm employ-1
er the burden of reporting small
amounts of wages. However, the
farm operator who employs farm
help will have an obligation to
report the employee's covered
wages and remit the social secur
ity tax (two percent deducted
from the worker’s cash wages;
two percent contributed by the
farm operator.) The farmer will
send the report and the taxes
for his employee to the Dist
rict Director of Internal Rev
enue.
Mr. Murphy pointed out that
the farm operator will earn so
cial security credits in the same
way as all other self-employed
people who are under the pro
gram, with one notable excep
tion. For farm operators whose
gross income is less than SI,BOO
in a year, there is a special sim
plified reporting procedure. The
farm operator will report his in
come for social security and pay
his first social security self-em
ployment tax on his 1955 earn
ings. The social security tax is
a three percent tax which is due,
with social security income re
port. at the same time the farm
er pays his income tax. This
date is April 15, 1956.
Given coverage for the first
time as of January 1. 1955, are
cotton-gin workers. They will
earn social security credit in the
same way as other agricultural
employees when they are paid
SIOO in a year by an employer.
As heretofore, Mexican contract
workers, and workers in the pro
duction of gum naval stores
(turpentine) do not have cover
age.
Farm operators and workers
who have never been in em
ployment or self-employment
covered by social security and
have never had a social security
account card, or have lost their
card, should get in touch with
the nearest Social Security Dist
rict Office. Murphy declared. The
address of the Social Security
office in Atlanta is Room 146,
50 Seventh Street Building. If it
is not convenient for a farmer
or farm worker to visit th, t of
fice, he can get an application
blank.at the post office and mail
it to the ab^ove address.
