SS Beneficiaries
Most social secur-
ity beneficiaries
received an ’’extra”
check this month ac-
cording to Gus Jones,
manager of the Sher-
man social security
office.
Earlier this year
Congress passed a
10% increase in soc-
ial security benefits
retroactive to Jan-
uary 1. The check re-
ceived about June 3
should have reflect-
ed this increase
for the month of
May, Jones stated.
The ’’extra” check
will represent the
10% increase for the
months of Jan., Feb.,
March, and April.
This ’’extra” check
will be issued auto-
matically. Benefic-
iaries do not need
to take any action.

Kingston Club
Mrs. Carl Lamm
opened the Kingston
HD Club meeting June
17th at-the Commun-
ity Center. Mrs.
Kora Lee Lipsey led
a song, ’’The Old
Grey Mare”. Mrs.
L. W. Harless gave
the devotional from
2nd Corinthian, 3rd
chapter. 8 members
answered roll by
giving a safety tip.
Mrs. L.L. Brooks
was the speaker using
the topic ’’Don’t
Be Put on the Scrap
Heap”, by Eleanor
M. Marshal. We should
always take advice
of older people.
Long before Gonathan
Swifts was 35 his
advice had made him
one of the most im-
portant men in all
England at a time
when that nation was
a greater power than
at present. Micheal
Angelo when he was
79 years old every-
one decided he was
too old but he start-
ed writing. Daniel
Defoe wrote more
than 30 books after
he was 67 years old.
Grandma Moses was
78 before she pick-
ed up a brush to
paint pictures. Dan-
iel Webester has been
a household word,
he learned 15 lang-
uages after he was
5 years old. Thomas
Edison was 80 when
he began studying
Burbanks Science,
Botony which he knew
nothing about. So
if we don’t have a
special talent you
may be able to do a
lot of work after
65 such as volunteer
at hospitals, nurs-
ing homes, sending
cards, visiting.
Council met the
18th. The Club select-
ed a THDA Council
Delegate. Mrs. Roy
Chambliss nominated
Mrs. Kora Lepsey.
The Club voted that
she will represent
out in the decorations °ur Club. Good Luck
Mrs. Lipsey.
Crafts meetings
were discussed such
as foiling, crochet-
ed rings and neckla-
ces .
We had Larry Brooks
as a visitor.
Mrs. Troy Brooks
led the THD Club
prayer.
Mrs. Brooks served
pie slices and punch.
The club will have
Family Night for our
next meeting, July
1st at 7:00 p.m. at

Center. The Club mem-
bers and families are

salad supper is plan-
ned .

Rights Of Veterans
Veterans planning
to travel overseas
this summer were
warned of certain
limitations in their
rights and benefits.
The Veterans Admin-
istration said that
only veterans with
service-connected
disabilities are
eligible for hospi-
talization and relat-
ed assistance. And
all were warned if
under medication to
take enough with them
to last throughout
their overseas tours.
If eligible, all
a veteran needs to
do overseas, if ill,
is to apply to an
American embassy or
consul and arrange-
ments will be made
for hospitalization.
In an emergency, a
veteran is eligible
for VA-paid hospi-
talization and med-
icine if he notifies
the embassy or consu-
lar office within
15 days after hospi-
talization, assum-
ing he iias a rated
service-connected
disability.
Retired service-
men are eligible for
medical benefits
from military hos-
pitals and clinics,
VA said.
In addition, VA
pointed out that
there are no loan
guarantee benefits
available overseas
for veterans, ex-
cept in Puerto Rico,
and that veterans
receiving compensa-
tion or pension
checks should, if at
ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY!. aU possible, keep

Rv W. JENE MILLER
March, 1776. The
"shot heard round
the world" had been
fired a few months
earlier. Tempers
were short and re-
volution was in the
air.
A group of people
who had fled the
militant fury of
England in order to
be free were now
determined to sever
the last shred of
bondage. Others who
had come to the New
World to expand the
great British Em-
pire, were determined
to resist the hot-
headed revolution-
aries who were daring
to think a little
bunch of colonies
could declare them-
selves apart from
their Mother Country.
To clarify their
aims and rally the
citizens around the
Revolution, a Provin-
cial Congress was
called in Massachu-
setts to be pre-
sided over by James
Warren, brother of
the former Presi-
dent of the Con-
gress, Dr. Joseph
Warren, who had fall-
en at the Battle of
Bunker Hill. The
Pilgrims at Plymouth,
not overly friendly
with, the ruling pow-
ers of Mass., were
asked to send del-
egates .
One of the great
innovations of the
American dream was
born out of that
invitation. The stern
old Pilgrim Fathers
remembered the hard-
ships they had suf-
fered at the hands
of an arbitrary King
who had ruled them
illegal whenever
it suited his pur-
poses.
The Pilgrims sent
two specific direc-
tives with their
delegates:"!) That
you, without hesi-
tation, be ready to
declare for indepen-
dence of Great Bri-
tain, in whom no
confidence can be
placed, and we, for
our parts, do assure
you that we will
stand by the.deter-
mination of the con-
tinental congress
in the important and,
as we think, nec-
essary measure, at
the risk of our lives
and our fortunes.
”2) We wish you to
use your influence
that such form of
government may be
adopted as may appear
most salutary, IN
PARTICULAR, we re-
commend it to you to
use your influence
that the executive
and legislative off-
ices in the govern-
ment do not meet
in the same person,
"(emphasis added).
There it is: se-
paration of execu-
tive and legislative
powers. And now it
lies dying on the

INCRUSE IN SUBSCRIPTION RATES
EFFECTIVE AUGUST FIRST
We have held the
subscription price
of The Celeste Cour-
ier at the same low
level for the past
several years, de-
spite the fact
that during these
intervening years
various materials
have advanced an
average of 40%; the
cost of labor over
507, and postage in-
creases of over 30%.
We have been able
to "hold the line"
and improve our pro-
duct the printed
newspaper, due to
savings in office
operations and in
the use of more mo-
dern and sophistica-
ted production eq-
uipment.
A substantial in-
crease in newsprint
cost became effec-
tive April 1 and
with that increase
still further advan-
ces are being made
in other materials.
An increase in pos-
tage became effec-
tive May 14.
With these increa-
ses in costs it is
impossible for us
