Jones has been changing
ie i looks of several fields
his farm this week with
ic shaping of waterways,
ind smoothing, and the con.
trilction of 50,000 feet of ter-
ices. The Laurens Soil Con-
iryation District motor
trader has been doing the
‘cessary earth moving and
Trace building. The local
til Conservation Service
^clinicians planned the wa
ter disposal measures and
lurveyed the terrace lines,
’he Agricultural Conserva-
:ion Program is furnishing
lost-sharing assistance for
;he construction of these bas
ic conservation practices.
Oh this same road and just
ross the creek from the
fones farm, M. O. McGee
lid the same thing to a 30-
|acre Jield on his farm.
A recent survey of fields in
iLaurens County shows that
lihese three conservation
practices, namely terraces,
gra$s waterways and contour
farming, will cut down eros
ion to a minimum on culti
vated cropland. Most fields
inspected showed a severe
damage where rows were run
straight, not following the
contour lines of terraces. Soil ;
loss is 5 to 10 times greater
are; used than in fields will)
in fields where straight rows
in fie
eon(o

con jour rows. Our sloping
land cannot be farmed fong
if straight rows are used.. >

Motorists Urged’
To Burn Lights
July 4th Period
Motorists may help protect
themselves from traffic acci
dents by burning their head
lights at all times while driv
ing during the July Fourth
weekend, Chief Highway Com
missioner Silas N. Pearman
advised today.
Daylight driving with head
lights turned on during previ
ous holiday periods indicates
that lighted headlamps helps
alert approaching drivers and
remind them of the need for
special driving care during
holiday periods.
Mr. Pearman said all avail
able patrolmen, including
those using radar and un
marked vehicles, will be on
duty during the long week
end. They will be driving
with headlights turned on the
same as other safety-conscious
motorists. Drivers are urged
to cooperate in the life-saving
effort by keeping headlights
burning, by strictly observing
all traffic laws and by opei-
ating their vehicles in a safe
and sane manner. 1
Persons using their head
lights for daytime driving orver
the weekend were cautioned
by the Highway Department
to make certain the lights are
turned off when vehicles are
parked to prevent battery de
pletion. However its better to
be safely back home with a
dead automobile battery than
in a hospita? with a crippling
injury and a depleted pocket
book, safety officials observ
ed.

She stated that c e r t ai n
types of documents are re
quired in almost all claims
for social aecurity. The length
of time it takes to complete
a claim for social security
depends largely on how long

be brought in when planning
to apply for social security
benefits:
1. Social security card (self
and family’s).

3. The last year’s federal
tax return and proof of pay
ment of tax if self-employed.

ment of earnings (form W-2)
if worked for another person.

ning to apply for widow’s
