FIRST CHRISTIAN TO BREAK GROUND
FOR EDUCATIONAL BUILDING SUNDAY
Ground breaking ceremonies
will be held Sunday morning for
the new educational building of-the
First Christian Church. R. B. Hun-
saker, chairman of the Building
Committee, will lead the short
service.
He will be assisted by Dodd
Weatherly, chairman of the Church
Board; and Eugene Brink, minister
of the congregation. The services
will follow the 10:50 morning
worship service.
This is the second unit of the
three units in the total church
plant. A sanctuary and office is
to be added at a later date, com-
pleting the facilities.
This building will contain six
class rooms, a large meeting room,
and space for the Sunday School
office and library. Planning for
the building was done by the Sun-
day School teachers and members
of the building committee. The
building was designed and will be
built by Peter C. Oetking of Dal-
las.
Completion of the building will
add four thousand square feet of
floor space to the growing church
plant. It will make possible individ-
ual rooms for all Sunday School
classes. Central heating and air
conditioning are included. A spe-
cial feature of the building will be
a suite of children's rooms open-
ing on a fenced play yard.
Friends of First Christian
Church are invited to join with
the congregation in this special
service Sunday, and in all of the

so that a new auditorium can be

At present two Sunday morning

CHILD'S TRAFFIC
HABITS REFLECT
PARENT'S HABITS
AUSTIN, Texas—“A child’s traf-
fic safety habits, more often than
not, reflect the examples that have
been set by his parents.”
J. O, Musick. General Manager
of the Texas Safety Association,
made this statement today in ap-
pealing to motorists for coopera-
tion in TSA’s current Back-to-
School traffic safety program.
“Good traffic habits and atti-
tudes of parents will do a lot
to keep children safe in traffic,”
he said. “Also important is the
extent to which parents try to
teach children safe traffic prac-
tices.”
Musick said that instruction in
traffic safety is a fairly simple
matter for parents—the important
thing being to do it consistently.
He then listed five of the most im-
portant rules to teach as being:
1—Teach children, largely by
example, that it is always best to
cross streets at intersections only,
waiting for the proper signal and
looking in both directions before
leaving curb.
2_Support what the child’s
school is teaching about safety, and
cooperate with teachers, officials
and safety patrol boys by help-
ing your child develop a healthy
attitude toward; safety-minded-
ness.
3— See that children play only
in approved play areas—never in
the street or near moving traffic.
Then urge them to be safety con-
scious, even in play.
4— Teach children the safe use
of outdoor toys such as roller
skates, scooters, bicycles, tricycles
and wagons.
5— Instill in children the idea
that safety rules must be given
the same respect and obedience a;
other rules of conduct learned at
home and in school.

International Letter Writing
Week will be celebrated in Car-
rollton during the week of Octo-
ber 5 to 11, Postmaster Sumner
announced today.
Twenty-one years ago, realizing
the importance of written com-
munication, the Post Office De-
partment joined in the observance
of an annual letter writing week—
an event celebrated to emphasize
the meaning and value of letter
writing as a link between people
throughout the world.
The Postmaster explained that
by participating in both Interna-
tional Letter Writing Week and
National Letter Writing Week this
worthwhile objective is promoted
between all people everywhere.
“As we all know so well, a per-
sonal letter is next to an actual
visit, the most intimate means we
have to communicate with our fel-
low human beings. Letters between
our citizens and between people
of different nations are a sure
method of establishing friendly
relationships and understandings.
"I urge all citizens of Carrollton
to join in this celebration of Inter-
national Letter Writing Week.
And at the same time, don’t over-
look your friends and relatives in
America. Write them a letter, too.”

NEW SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS EXPLAINED
BY TOL CRABB
The more than 54,000 persons
j Dallas districts now receiving
social security checks will get an
automatic increase of about 7% on
the checks to be mailed out early in
February, according to Tol Crabb,
district manager. There is no need
for any of them to write or call at
their social security office to get
that increase.
However, Crabb says, “I know
there are many others in this dis-
trict who will need to talk with a
social security representative in
order to get benefits started to
them.” For the quickest and most
efficient way to start that action,
he suggests that a card or letter
be written to the Social Security
office at 1114 Commerce Street,
Dallas, briefly outlining the situa-
tion below which applies to a par-
ticular individual or family:
1—Certain dependents of per-
sons now receiving “disability”
insurance payments can now
qualify for monthly benefits. These
are wives at age 62, dependent
husbands at age 65, and unmarried
children under 18 or disabled chil-
dren who have been disabled since
before age 18.
2 — Persons whose disability
claims (either for benefits or the
freeze) were previously denied
only because they did not have 114
years of social security credits in
the 3-year period just before be-
coming disabled.
3 — Disabled adults children
whose claims were perviously
denied solely because they were
not receiving at least one-half of
their support from the retired or
deceased parent.
4— Dependent parents whose
claims or inquiries were previously
denied only because the deceased
son or daughter was survived by a
widow, widower or child who
could possible be entitled to bene-
fits.
5— Anyone whose social security
checks were stopped because of
marriage, if he or she married a
person who was also receiving
social security checks.
Crabb suggests interested per-
sons first write the bffice about
possible benefits so that a mutually
convenient interview time may be
arranged, either at the office or
with a representative of the office
on one of the future visits to his
county.
For more detailed information
on the above changes, Crabb in-
vites readers to write the Social
Security office for a copy of free
Leaflet No. 1958-1. Those wanting
just the changes in the disability
provisions should ask for Leaflet
No. 1958-2.
