Our County and
Social Security
BY WELCH RAY
Two plans to protect old peo
ple from want are included in
the Social Security Act. These
are Old-Age and Survivors In
surance and Old-Age Assistance.
Each of these plans serves a spe
cial purpose. They differ from
each other in the way they op
vide protection.
Old-Age and Survivors Insur
ance is for wage earners. This
insurance helps workers to pro
vide an income for themselves
and their families when death
or old age cuts off wages. It is
a Federal plan and its provisions
are the same in all parts of the
country.
Old-Age Assistance is for peo
ple after they are old and in
need. Through it, each State,
with Federal help, provides for its
own needy aged. Though these
plans work differently, they are
alike in one important point—
both provide a cash income. This
income is modest, but it enables
many old people to live in their
own homes.
The Social Security Admin
istration is the Federal Agency
in charge of the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance system. For
each insured worker, the Ad
ministration keeps a separate
wage record, identified by his
name and Social Security Ac
count Number. This record is
necessary to determine what
benefits may be due a worker or
his family. To pay for this in
surance the Social Security Act
levies a tax on wage earners and
their employers. To learn more
about this plan, you should
write to the Social Security Filed
Office, Post Office Building,
Rome, Georgia.
All the States provide Old-Age
Assistance for their own needy
old people. The State—not the
Federal Government — decides
who shall get aid and how much
shall be paid to each person. The
Federal Government shares the
cost as long as the State plan
follows the general pattern out
lined in the Social Security Act.

Youth Centers, Understanding
Needed, Says Dr. Overton Here
The biggest mistake adults
' make today in regard to our
youth is not ho have genuine
humility and patience with their
problems.
Speaking before the packed
auditorium of close to 1,000 rapt
high school students here Thurs
day morning, Dr. Grace Sloan
Overton, noted sociologist and
lecturer, continued that “it’s not
easy however for us adults to
‘get inside’ the thinking of you
young folks.”
“You think about yourself,”
sha declared. “You’re the realest
thing you know. Your body is
the realest thing about you, and
understanding it is a must in
your life.”
Speaking on the problems of
growing up, Dr. Overton said
that a person’s heart doubles in
size between the age of 12 and
16, and that’s the time of prob
lem skin and gangling arms and
legs.
“A baby isn't worth anythnig,”
she declared. “It’s just what it
promises to be. You aren’s worth
anything. It’s just what you
promise to be.”
She told the group that in
growing into a woman and
growing into a man, a person
must learn to maintain dignity
of body.
“Girls are too young to date
at 13,” declared the speaker. “It’s
nice for them to be in groups
of boys and girls and to attend
folk dances or “fun frolics,” but
dating one boy and going out
alone is definitely unwise.”
At about the age of 16, she
said, a boy usually asks his girl
to let him kiss her good night,
and if he’s a gentleman, he
makes it quick and lets her get
on in the house.
In the U. S., declared Dr. Over
ton, a girl is expected to go to
the marriage altar with physical
i integrity. A boy likes a girl who
lis jolly, gay and interesting. He
I likes a lady.
“The fortunate age for mar
riage for girls is between the
ages of 20 and 22. and the for
tunate time for a boy to marry
lis between the age of 21 and 24.
“For couples who marry before I
Uliey finish college, 40 per cent!
!of the boys finish and less than'
■2O per cent of the girls complete |
their college courses.”
Sixty - seven per cent of the
mothers of illegimate children
are under 17 years of age. she
declared.
Dr. Overton disclosed that she
began her work with youth in
19i9-20 after being chosen to |
speak to a group of 500 co-eds on
"The Evils of Bobbed Hair.”
She explained that this style
was new at the time and con
sidered by the faculty, of which
(she was a member, and many
others as almost immoral.
When she went before the
group, Dr. Overton said, she felt
that the speech she had pre
pared was worthless and would
be useless to discuss. So she said
to the group: “Now girls. I want
tc know how you feel. We’ve
been telling you how you ought
। to feel. Now I'm interested in
how you do feel.”
One of the girls, who was the
. first to have her hair bobbed,
spoke up in a straight-forward
manner, saying "You shoot
straight with us, and we'll shoot
I straight with you.”
“I’ve been trying to shoot
I straight' with youth ever since,”
L-aid Dr. Overton.
E. M. Blue. Superintendent of
Summerville Schools, introduced
I the speaker and welcomed the
iother school groups from the
I county.
Addresses Adults
Dr Overton addressed several
hundred parents, veterans and
teachers Thursday night in the
auditorium.
"Adolesence Is not a disease,"
stated Dr. Overton, “and to un
|derstand the subtle separateness
of adolesence Is not easy."
She declared that a child who
is not a disciplined cannot have
security.
“He needs our maturity and
I pocket books, he needs adults
around to boss him."
The highest divorce rate is
among those who married too
। young, stated the speaker, who
told how the marriage courses
in the Atlanta schools have de
layed a 10l of marriages.
Youth renter Needed
"Every community ought to
have a center with two leaders."
stressed Dr. Overton. "It should
ibe supported by taxation sup
plemented by funds raised by
men and women’s clubs. The
I nubile school board, veterans,
civic leaders and parents
, should work together."
Dr. Overton told the adults
that the “only excuse" they
। have tor living Ls to make
"a better community. b°tter
churches, and better schools In
v<hlch our children can grow
up"

in Georgia produced more than
3.000.000 pounds of honey last
year.

Fire Protection News
BY BURL GAYLOR
County Ranger
Frank Pullen, Seventh District
Forester, Georgia Commission,
Rome, said this week: “The pub
lic must give the County Forest
Rangers all the assistance and
cooperation they can in prevent
ing and suppressing fires if the
forests in this district are to be
protected from fire. These ran
gers and assistants are now'
working night and day attempt
ing to suppress the fires in their
respective counties, but they
must have the help of every
public spirited individual in this
program.
The majority of these fires are
caused by individuals who do not
realize the damaging effect of a
forest fire. These effects can be
easily seen if you note on your
next trip the damages made by
fire, such as churches, houses,
and barns completely or parital
ly destroyed, trees damaged or
destroyed, the forest floor bare,
and the aesthetic value of the
woodland gone.
Help us protect the forest from
j fire by being more careful about
I fire. Be sure the fire is out of the
। cigarette before you throw it
'away; make sure the camp fire
is out before you leave; don’t
burn trash on your land during
windy days; and notify your
County Ranger if you see a fire,
but try to put it out before he
I arrives.”
