Well. a great man has gone
to his reward, and as we all re
move our hats and gaze for the
last time upon the noble coun
tenance of him who was Mr.
Will Wood, we arc made to rea
lize that a man can really be
great.
Few of ous ever attain Io the
ripe old age of 91, but Mr. Wood ’
perhaps owes his longevity to
the fact that he led such a clean
life. Those who have known him
through the years, say they don't
suppose he knew the taste of
stronge drink.
He was a member of County
Line Church of which he was a
deacon for many years. He could
truly sing: "I Love Thy Church
O Lord”, for years ago when the
church building burned to the
ground, times were hard, money
was hard to raise, but Mr. Wood
didn't let that discourage him.
He stepped into his conveyance
and rode here and there, and
made up money td start rebuild
ing and today the ever growing
church stands as a memorial to
him and Others like him who
would admit of no defeat. Indeed
he was a brave soldier of the
cross, and then in addition to’
his active church duties he was
a good neighbor and a hard
worker. The following story was
told of him bv one who knew
him in the old days when he was
a farmer: “One day he and Mr.
Jim Wilkerson decided to race
to see which one could get the
most cotton picked from sun-up
until sun-down. Everytime their
picking sack was full, there was
someone on ha re to take the
sack, empty it and hand them
Another so they wouldn't lose
time. Well, it was a tie; they
both picked the same amount of
cotton, and they both weighed
tin 500 oounds apiece a. the end
of the day.”
Other phases of his business
and activities was saw-milling.
I running a cotton gin mill and
। one report has it that he was al ■
so Post Master in the Woodstown
community. His well known
brother, Dr. Wood, preceded him
in death some years ago. They
both contributed much to the
community in which they live<+.
and many mourn the loss of such
' useful men. May God comfort the
hearts of his loved ones and
friends.

Social Security
Law Is Unfair
To Servicemen
Failure of the Senate to re
move a section of the new Social
Security Amendment ,\ct before
it reached the White House will
deprive large numbers of disabled
veterans either of social security
or compensation or pension ben
efits normally accorded them by
law.
Pete Wheeler, Director of the
State Department of Veterans
Service, recently stated that.
Public Law 880 provides, among
other things, that persons covered
by social security who become
permanently and totally disabled
between the ages of 50 and 65,
shall be eligible for social securi
ty pa.vrAents, but, these persons
shall have their social security
payments reduced by the amount
of any other Federal disability
benefits, or State Workmens
; Compensation benefit. Conse
quently Wheeler said, any ser
i vice-disabled vet drawing com
(pensation and eligible for social
security under this new law
would be deprived of a benefit
payable to non-veferans.
