Proffitt?Spooling Actions Speak Louder Than Words You have no doubt heard the old saying that "What you do speaks so loud. I can't hear what you say". In other words you can't just talk your way through the world, you've got to do some things as well. What you are speaks louder than what vou sav! We must practice what we preach and it all comes around to actions. We can't just sit around and do much convincing. We must do something as well. We must prove ourselves to those around us. It's just that kind of world. Down through life in almost everything we do we will find those who just will not do their part, those who just get bv, and a very few who accept the responsibility and carry the load. You find it in the home, on the job. and even in our churches. Oftentimes we find those who oo tne leasi are tne most critical of everything that is done. We have all heard the story about the man who spent hours criticizing the preacher when it was a known fact that he hadn't attended church services in over five years. The success of any group can never be reached if there are as many holding back as they have pulling. A building can never be finished if there are as many tearing down the brick as you have laying them on the other side. Cooperation and the willingness to accept our part will make our jobs easier, our homes run more smoothly, and our churches happier. The tiny ants, by working together, are able to move tons. Mav we uet a lesson from them. Steve and Ronnie Windsor and of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Windsor, ( IY. 1962 rTON MILLS Leila R. Black?Weaving Jerry N. Craven?Weaving Jeanette G.

THE SECRET I have a secret to share with you, Because you are my friend so true. I bought for you a Valentine heart, To show you that we'd never part, 1 hope you will accept this token. And our love will ne'er be broken. Shirley Ann Hinson 303 Cypress Street What Is It? It is more powerful than the combined armies of the world. It has destroyed m o r e people than all the wars of the nation. It is more deadly than bullets; has wrecked more homes than the mightiest of guns. It brings sickness, degradation and death; it destroys, crushes and maims: It gives nothing, but takes all; It is everyone's worst ene THE CLOTHMAKER SO SOLLY A bricklayer in the West Indies wrote the following letter to his employer: "Respected Sir, when I got to the building I found that the hurricane had knocked some bricks off the top. So I rigged up a beam with a pulley at the top of the building and hoisted up a couple of barrels full of bricks. "When I had fixed the building there were a lot of bricks left over. I hoisted the barrel back up again and tied the line at the bottom, and then went up and filled the barrel with extra bricks. Then I went to the bottom and cast off the line. "But the barrel of bricks was heavier than I was, and before I knew what was happening, the barrel started down, jerking me off the ground. I decided to hang on and halfway up I met the barrel coming down and got a blow on the shoulder. "I then continued to the top, banging my head against the beam and getting my finger jammed in the pulley. When the barrel hit the ground, it knocked the bottom out, ali?..; * 41 1?: ?i__ 4 :n lowing nit; ui il'ks iu spin. "I was now heavier that the barrel, and so started down again at high speed. Halfway down, I met the barrel coming up and cracked my shins. "When I hit the ground I landed on the bricks, and was cut by the sharp edges. At this point I must have lost my presence of mind because I let go of the line. The barrel then came down giving me another heavy blow on the head and putting me in 4 l i : 4 ? 1 iiit,' iiuspuai.

I have been receiving social security checks based on my husband's work. I am now thinking of going to work. How would this affect our social security? ANSWER If you do not earn over $1200 . _ 1 l ______ r _ 11 in a caienaar v e a r, iuh checks would still keep coming. However, if you do plan to earn over $100 per month, you should notify social security. If your salary is too high to allow us to pay you your widow's benefits, it will be adjusted. The amount of the adjustment will depend on how much you earn and when you earn it. There is a possibility that you could receive a part of your widow's check. Your working would not affect v o u r children's checks. i? :.i c..i l L I I 1F > 11II III (T Ol IIUUI l\lll B % jf ^KPvaH ^wh r i Principal Clyde Nelson crowne ter of Ithial and Louise Harvey ar Cleveland and Izell Campbell, as K chapel exercises on Valentine Dj by popular vote, at a penny per v< the 5th and 6th grades.

QUESTION What should a retired person take with him when he goes to the social security office to file a claim? ANSWER Of course, every applicant should bring his social security account number card. If he has an old written record of his age, it might save time to take it along. Don't postpone filing until you can get such papers but bring them with you if you have such re cords. Just at this time one of the most important pieces ot information needed is the W-2 form stating earnings in 1961. Self-employed persons should bring an extra copy of their income and self-employment tax return for 1961 and cancelled check, money order stub or any other receipt which would show that the return has been filed.
