Pays Tribute To
Former Teachers
The Newberry County Educa
tion Association paid tribute to
the following teachers at a recent
meeting held at the Newberry High
School.
In Memoriam
MARY LILA SUMMER
“With a cheery smile and a wave
of the hand
She has wandered into an un
known land
And left us dreaming how very
fair
It needs must be, since she lingers
there.
Think of her still as the same,
I say,
She is not dead—she is just away.”
On September 20, 1952, the gen
tle Spirit of Miss Lila Summer was
called up higher to the “Land of
Endless Day.” This afternoon, the
Parent Teachers Association of
Boundary Street School of New
berry, S. C., of which she was a
faithful and beloved tesfcher for
thirty-odd years, pauses to pay a
tribute of love and appreciation of
her beautiful and useful life and
her Christian influence on all with
whom she was associated while
she lived among us.
We wish further, to express our
deep sorrow in her passing. The
service which she has rendered
will always live in the piinds and
hearts of the little children who
came within the sphere of her in
fluence and teaching, and we, as
parents and fellow teachers, will
ever hold her in tenderest mem
ory.
‘.What is lovely never dies.
But passes into other loveliness.”
In Memoriam
GEORGIA EVELYN PORTER
“The odor of a fragrant flower
doth last.
Long after the outward loveliness

Reminds Farmers
Time To File
S. S. Reports
As any farmer knows, there are
a lot of “times” during the year.
Cold weather, like this, is good*
hog-killing time. Some folks say
it’s not collard time until the front
has been around. And spring is
planting time. —
Another “time” that comes In
every season is Social Security
Time. That’s wfoen farmers must
report earnings of their' farm
workers for Old-Age and Surviv
ors Insurance benefits. This timo
comes at the end of every calen
dar quarter. The next report for
the October-December period Is
due in the office of the District Di
rector of Internal Revenue by the
end of January. The report of
earnings must be filed on each
regular employee.
The law was changed in 1950
to allow farm workers to build up
retirement benefits for themselves
and their families and death bene
fits for the families just as other
workers do. » ,
Farm workers, have been enjoy
ing such “citified” advantages as
electric light, oil heat, running
water and such for a long time.
Now they have, every benefit their
city cousins do—even an insurance
plan.
For more Information about the
farm worker’s stake in Social Se
curity, contact your Social Secur
ity office located in Greenwood.
Questions on reporting farm work
ers income and payment of taxes
should be addressed to the Dist
rict Director of Internal Revenue,
Greenwood.
