* Jobs and earnings.
* The economic e%fects of
unemployment, disability and
retirement.
* How taxes affect personal
spending.
* Participation in programs
such as gocial Security,
Medicare and Medicaid, and
food stamps.
Information from SIPP
helps policy makers and ad
ministrators determine how
well government erograms are
serving the public and how
changes in fprograms and
policies will affect the public.
Here are some facts based
on SIPP interviews from the
1984 survey year (the sample
size limits accurate reporting
to national figures only):
* One out of five U.S.
residents aged 15 and over has
difficulty performing one or
more basic physical activities.
* Some of the 12.8 million
people, or 7.1 percent of the
population studied, had trouble
seeing words and letters in or
dinary newsprint even with
glasses or contact lenses. The
total of those who could not see
words and letters at all was 1.7
million, or about 1 percent.
* About 7.7 million people
had trouble hearing in a normal
conversation and 500,000 could
not hear such a conversation.
* The total of those who
had a problem having their
speech understood was 2.5
million.
* About 19.2 million people
had difficulty walking a
quarter of a mile, and 8 mifiion
of them were unable to walk
that far.
* Some 18.1 million people
had trouble walking up a flight
of stairs without resting, and
5.2 million of them could not do
so on their own.
* About 18.2 million people
had trouble lifting or carrying
something as heavy as a full
:fifix of groceries, and 7.8
illion of them could not do so.
Information collected in
SIPP is confidential by law. In
terviewers have credentials
identifying them as U. S. Cen
sus Bureau employees.
from second front
taxes are still outstanding.
After attempts by Bowers and
police chief David Starkey to
contact each person with over
due taxes, Bowers recommend
ed turning the accounts over to
the city attorney for collection.
Mayor Woods commended
Bowers for collecting the ac
counts so rapidly.
“Last year there were
$2,063 in overdue taxes,” he
said. *“We have had good collec
tions this year.”
“ON HOLD”
Woods reported that the ci
ty sewer line project along
Park Avenue was still “on
hold’’ although the pipes were
already on site.
“We are awaiting proper
weather conditions for starting
the project,” Woods said.
The John Echols Co. will in
stall the sewer line.
In other business, the Coun
cil unanimously approved two
non-budgeted maintenance
items for vehicles.
The Council approved pain
ting the cab of the leaf truck
for S4OO by Larry Wesson.
Mayor Woods was given ap
roval to purchase new tires
?or the recreation van at his
discretion for a cost of approx
imately $283.
FLOOD
The Good Times
from second front
younFer brother were somehow
unaffected.
“It was scary,” he recalled.
“It was the worst thing and
killed the most folks of
anything that has ever happen
ed here. My younger brother
and I never did have it, but it
made the others real sick all
winter. No one in our family
died, but I remember we had to
stay in a lot. The doctor gave
my brother and me some type
of medicine anyway. It happen
ed in January, 1919, but by
sprin% they were over it
enough to make a crop that
year. My parents had separate
doctors. Momma wouldn't see
anyone but Dr. Shamblin, and
Poi)pa had to have Dr.
Williams. Sometimes they
would both be there.”
No one but the doctor
would go into the quarantined
homes, but the neighbors stiill
did all they cuukrlo aid the
families, according to Vernon.
MILK, FIREWOOD
“Neighbors would go and
milk for the people with the flu
and leave the bucket of milk on
the front porch,” he said.
“They woulrc)l come and chop
their firewood for them and
stack it up, but they had to
come out and get it off the
porch for themselves. People
wouldn't go in."”
As a young married couple,
the Vernons feel they were
equally fortunate during the
difficult Depression years.
“I was out in the field plow
inf when my brother came and
told me that there was a rumor
the banks were going to fail,”
Vernon recalls. "Tfiv Cooks
had told him and he rode over
in his wagon to tell me if I had
any money in the Menlo bank
that I'd better get it quick.”
“Dolph left his muL* stan

ding in the field, but he got L 0
Menlo and got his money out,
Mrs. Vernon added. **The bank
closed the next day. He was
one of the lucky ones.”
STRAWBERRIES
The couple also raised
strawberries to support their
growing family (‘uring the
19305,
“We had five acres of
strawberries,” Vernon said.
“We raised them to ship out
from the packing company at
Menlo until the price fell.
Strawberries got so cheap it
didn't even pay for the crates
anymore. On the last shipment,
we lost four cents on the crate.
“In 1935, strawberries were
at a boom. Some farmers had
as many as 75 acres planted.
Between all of us we would fill
up two boxcars a day with
strawberries.”
FARMING
The Vernons have made
their living from farming for
most of their lives.
“We grew cotton, corn,
strawberries, and soybeans for
hay,” Mrs. Vernon said. The
couple also raised livestock un
til a few years ago.
“Farming has been good to
us,” she added. “*We made
enough to raise our kids.”
Vernon worked at Riegel
Textile for six years after their
first home burned in 1945.
“We found out how many
good friends we had when our
home burned,” Mrs. Vernon
said. **So many people helred
us in every way possible.”
“We've been lucky, extra
lucky,” he said. **So many have
died before they even got to
their 50th anniversary.”
Vernon says he does
nothing special to stay healthy
except stick to a regular
schedule.

“] get up at 7 a.m., eat three
meals a day and go to bed at 9
or 10 every nifx t,”" he said.
“Just the usual things, but I
never had a major illness until
three years ago. I still have my
own teeth and 1 don't need
glasses except when I read.
Life has been very good to us,”
DO OWN WORK
Mrs. Vernon claims the suc
cess of their marriage must be
due to working hard.
“We've slowed down a lot,
but we still keep everything go
ing,”" Mrs. Vernon said. "&’e
still do our own work around
the house.”
Since his retirement, Mr.
Vernon has taught himself to
cane chairs and weave baskets,
a skill he learned by watching
his father but had not
attempted.
“1 watched my father do
caning when I was a small boy,
but 1 never tried it until after
I retired. One day, I got a stick
of timber and tried to make the
splits, and I just threw it away
and gave up. A couple of years
later, I got another stick of
timber and tried again. The
first thing I did was repair the
bottom of a chair.”
CANING
Vernon enjoys making his
own caning materials the old
fashioned way.
It takes a great deal of ef
fort before the weaving process
can begin.
“It takes a day or so to get
started and make enough
splits,” he explained. “I take a
pole of white oak timber and
split it open. You have to strip
the bark off and cut out the
heart of the wood. After I make
the splits, I take a piece of
glass and scrape them to make
them slick. It's slow going.”
