g i Clin Urn, a C„ Thureday, February 20, 1964 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE II In the southeastern section of oSuth Carolina is a friendly com- munity known as "The, Highway Hub/’ It is Walterboro, the thriv ing county seat of Colleton Coun ty. It comes by its nickname naturally, being the southern ter minus of U. S. Highway 15, one of the most popular inland routes to Florida. Alternate U. S. High way 17 also passes through here, providing motorists traveling the coastal route an opportunity to save time and traffic between Georgetown and Pocataiigo, just south of Walterboro. -Walterboro is a pleasant and well known stopover point for tourists from the northern states to Florida. The hospitality, cour tesy and efficient service of its restaurants, service stations, ho tels and motels is the pride of , the community. You know that you’ve reached the “sunshine belt” when you arrive here, and you will find the climate pleasant all year ’round. Local residents will tell you they hardly know what snow is, and the days of freezing weather ar e few and far between. The trees and grass are green the whole year through, and those with a “green thumb” can really enjoy themselves in Wal terboro. The camellias and many other flowers bloom in all their beauty from December to March f nnd wisteria, azaleas, and other spring flowers form a “wonder ful world of color” in March and April. You are in the heart of the plantation low country of South Carolina, rich in history and scenic attractions for visitors. Some of the world famous gar dens of the low country are be tween here and Charelston, and can be reached by follow ing U. S. 17-A northeast, and then turning souhetast on South Carolina Highway 61. Up near the community of Moncks Corner, you can see the San- tee-Cooper Power House, larg est electrical installation south of Niagara Falls, as weU as visit beautiful Lake Moultrie jl and Lake Marion. In addtiion to the economy boost created by the many visitors and tourists, Walter boro is a stable community which is the center of banking and shopping for 30,000 resi dents of Colleton County. The 1060 census showed more than 8,000 people living within the city limits and immediate su burban areas. K . Walterboro has a vital con- servation program for its for est areas, and rightfully so, since these resources are among the most valuable. Some of the many by-products of its forests include lumber, plywood, furniture, paper, rail road crossties, and ship masts. Not far from Walterboro is the community of Round-O, which continually attracts at tention because of its unusual name. When the British occu pied Charleston during the American Revolution, General Nathaniel Greene insisted on establishing »thier temporary capital at Jacksonboro (about 16 miles south of Walterboro) because of close, proximity to Round O’s rich farming area Today, this farming area con tinues to produce fine agricul tural crops of cabbage, corn, beans, peas, potatoes, cotton and sugar cane. According to reports in the Walterbora Press and Standard from A. S. Salley of the South Carolina Historical Commis sion, several important skirm ishes took place at Round O during the Revolutionary War. Supposedly a Cherokee Indian had a round symbol resemb ling the letter “o” tattooed on his aqn, and the English set tlers called him by the nick name rather than his more lengthy Indian name. Some be lieve this is how the commun ity came to be called Round O. Whether you are a visitor passing through, or plan to stay a while, or even establish a home here, you will find Walterboro and the surround ing area awaiting you with a cordial welcome. for $10.00 and other considera tions.

Social Security Question—My husband is 51. He is in prison and will be for life. Could I draw social security now for our minor children? Answer—I’m sorry, but the only time you can draw from his social security would be if he were disabled, had reached re tirement age, or died. Question—How old must I be to get a social security card? Answer—There’s no age Umit. If you need a card, come to the social security office or write or cAU us. We’ll be glad to maU the form you need to fill out for a social security card. Question—What is the earliest I can put in for social -security retirement checks? Answer—Three months before the month you’re 62. Its’ a good idea to come in early. It gives us plenty of time to get your first check ready for you. Question — Have the required number of work credits needed to draw disability payments been reduced in the last few months? Answer—No. The law still re quires work covered by social security for five out of the ten years before you became dis abled. , Question—I have been married for years, but never changed my social security Card to my mar ried name. If I change my name now, will I get credit for work that was reported in my maiden name? ^ Answer—Yes, you will. The only change made will be in our records — the change of your name. Question—Do I pay social se curity tax at your office? Answer—No. All federal taxes are paid to the Internal Revenue Service. * Ralph W.
