AMERICA SHOULD LEAD
In a letter from Frankfurt,
Germany. Nov. 12, 1957, Merwin
K. Hart, President of the Na
tional Economic Council, Inc..
makes some most significant
comments.
After talking for two weeks
with Germans in all walks of
life—large and small business
men, government officials, dip
lomats, judges, labor leaders,
cab drivers, refugees, profes
sional men and others Mr.
Hart feels he has grasped some
thing of a picture of the Ger
man mind today. Says he:
Harry Blake has been agent
at Cuyahoga Falls since 1939. He
started with the company as a
telegrapher-clerk in Belle Val
ley when he was 18.
He also served at Pleasant City
and Cambridge and other points
on the Marietta branch line be
fore going to Cuyahoga Falls.
Blake was honored at a lun
cheon which was attended by
several Pennsylvania officials
and received a gold service pin
from Robert T. Clowes, super
intendent of stations from the
Lake Region of tVu* railroad

Two years ago a German,
Harry Blake Retires
As Pennsy Railroader
Caldwell, but now of Cuyahoga
Falls, has completed a half cen
tury of service with the Penn
sylvania railroad.
A son of Sherman and Libbie
Harris Blake, he was born and
reared on Davis Ridge and is a
brother of Dack Blake, Caldwell.
Another brother, Ray Blake, of
Cleveland, recently retired after
45 years with the Perfection
Stove company.
who lives close to the people and
who holds his Ph.D. from an
American university, remarked
to me that the greatest enemies
of the Communists are the Com
munists themselves: and thai the
greatest friends of the Commu
nists have been the Americans.
Many thoughtful Germans hold
about the same view today
Questioning a group of intel
lectuals with whom he lunched
as to their views on the "Voice
of America" radio program, he
got opinions varying all the way
from "poor" to "useless" to "pos
itively harmful." He got the same
answer about "Radio Free Eur
ope." Later another group gave
the same verdict on theses
wo
programs. It looks as though our
Federal Government and in
dividual contributors between
them not only are waiting a lot
of money, but actually harming
America.
Mr. Hart finds that Germans
generally are still very loyal to
the U.S.A. and want us to lead
They feel that America has not
been leading, are puzzled as to
why -and wonder when we will
wake up to assume that leader
ship.

Irvine W. Reynolds, financial
writer, said in a recent news
paper article:
"Money involves moral as well
as economic standards. Human
history is cluttered with the
wreckage of once-proud nations
which refused to admit the truth
of this statement It is the basic
issue that will have to be debated
over coming months."
This is, of course, the incon
trovertible truth. And it involves
particularly the matter of in
flation, about which Reynolds
was speaking.
A fiscal polit ltd .n a
printing press buppiy
which can be artifically increas
ed by government without re
gard to production is, in my
opinion, thoroughly dishonest.
But so, too, is a public policy
based on the virtually un
restrained use of force and com
pulsion by labor union leaders
to dictate wages and prices for
goods and services withom
gard to production.
These issues do, indet in
volve moral standards about
money that need our attention.
And they are far more important
than the ordinary garden-variety
problems of petty fraud and
theft that catch the headliness.

THIS WEEK
—In Washington
With
Clinton Davidson
Census Bureau
figures just cora
i e o n a e s
mm and farming tell a
story that may
shock and surprise
you, as it did us.
Farming, hints the Bureau, like
the old grey mare, "ain't what she
used to be." And what is more,
the changes in the next 50 years
may be even more surprising than
In the years since just before
World War
The results of the survey
amazed even veteran Agriculture
Department officials. Secretary
Benson called events of the past
halt century "an agricultural ex
plosion." More staid Bureau of
ficials called it an "agrarian revolu
tion."
Whatever you may call it one
thing seems certain. Farming is
undergoing the pains of change
which, a century ago, transformed
industry from small shops to huge
factories. Farmers are caught in
the midst of another changing
period in history.
Census Bureau studies reveal
that there are many thousands of
"displaced" farm families and mil
lion. of "refugees" who have been
forced to flee farms for unfamiliar
Jobs in cities in the past 20 years
for economic reasons.
Between April, 1956, and last
April nearly 2,000,000 farm people
moved to towns and cities. The
net 12 months decline in farm
population was reported as 1.861.
000. That means 8 out of every 100
farmers ML the land in just one
year.
There are more than two mil
lion fewer farms—one-third fewer
—than in 1935, and there are
twelve million fewer people living
on farms. Despite this wholesale
movement e.way from farms, farm
acreage has remained steady and
production has increased by al
most 50'i.
Twenty-five years ago, accord
ing to the Census Bureau, more
than one-fourth of all Americans
were farmers. Today that percen
tage is 11.9. Although our total
population has quadrupled in less
than 100 years there are fewer
people living on farms than at
start of the Civil War.
The amazing and seemingly con
tradictory fact is that during the
past 25 yoar? more people have
moved from cities to the country
than from the country to the
cities. They live in rural,and sub
urban amis, but work in cities.
The rural population now is
estimated by Census as slightly
more than 80,000,000 approxi
mately one-half of our national
total. But only 20,000,000 of those
live on farms, and only about half
of that number are full-time
farmers.
The Agriculture Department
adds that some 4.000,000 farn!
people—one out of every 5—
worked 100 or more days on off
farm jobs la^t year for which
they were paid $6.7 billion.
That, curiously enough, is equal
to more than half of the net in
come of all farmers from the
sale of farm produce. Thoso who
stuck strictly to farming for their
income had an "income averaging
70c' an hour lor their work.
The fact that this is well under
half of the average city wage
accounts
for
a major portion of
the larm-to-city movement. An
other reason is the fact that many
farmers are reaching 65 years of
age and applying for Social Se
curity payments.
The farm-to-city trend may not
keep up at the rate reported by
Census, but so long as higher-pay
ing jobs are available in cities the
movement is likely to continue.
Officials think farm population
likely will level ofl at about 1%
of the nations! total somewhere
around 1975.

Q-—I stopped my benefits in
January as I expect to make
over $12000 this year. I will net
over $5000 in a seasonal job from
May 7 thru September 30. Will
I be entitled to any checks for
this year?
A.—If in the months of Jan
uary thru April and October
thru December you neither per
form substantial services as a
self-employed person nor earn
over $30 per month in wages as
an employee, you may receive
OASI benefits for those months.
You will not receive benefits
for the months of May thru
September. The final determina
tion as to the number of checks
you should receive will be based
on the annual report of earnings
you must file after the end of
the year.
-i am 67 years old and was
retaed June 30 this year after
37 years on the same job. I earn
ed $2200 this year, and haven't
worked since June and do not
expect to work again. My friends
tell me that I cannot get any
benefits for 1957 since I earned
over $1200. Is this true?
A.—No. The law provides that
in a calendar year one months
benefit must be withheld for
each $80 or fraction thereof by
which your earnings for that
year are more than $1200. The
law further provides, however,
that a benefit check will not be
withheld for any month in
which you did not earn more
than $80 in wages and were not
actively engaged as a seld-em
ployed person. Accordingly you
would be entitled to monthly
benefits beginning with the
month of July. We suggest you
file an application at your social
security office without delay.
Susie Martin, local saleslady,
is almost $500 richer today be
cause of a conversation she had
with a friend on the bus. Susie
learned that she was entitled to
that amount of social security
benefits for last year.
The friend just happened to
mention that she received her
social security benefits for some
months last year, as her earnings
were only $1800 for the year.
Susie was over retirement age
before the first of last year, and
her earnings were oi}ly $1500
for the year. This meant that she
was entitled to 8 checks, of over
$00 each, for 1956. That is, Susie
was entitled as soon as she filed
her claim for benefits. Susie had
put off filing her claim because
she jwas earning over $1200 a
year. She thought she was not
eligible for benefits. Lucky for
Susie, she leapred about this in
time to file her claim in January,
so she was able to collect all of
her checks that were due fpr the
past year.
"Like Susie, a large number
of the people over retirement
age, who are still working, may
be entitled to some of their social
security payments," said Mr.
Youm&ns of the Zanesville office
today. Most people know that
they are allowed to earn up to
$1200 a year and still receive all
of their social security benefits
for that year. A lot of people
overlook the fact that benefits
may be payable for some months
of the year if total earnings do
not exceed $2080 for the year,
or for those months in which

Soup—Salad Medley
An open door to eat-well-easily is the medley of nourishing
canned soups with salads made of canned fruits. The menu plan
can be used over and over again yet varied each time with a dif
ferent soup or a different fruit combination. This family favorite is
easily adapted to table or tray service and is prepared quickly.
To make this super salad, a mixture of tangy pimiento-cheese is
terved with pear halves and sliced peaches. You'll also like the
cheese mixture with canned pineapple, apricots and citrus sections.

earnings do not exceed $80 in

The social security retirement
test is a yearly test, until earn
ings reach $1200 in the year.
That is, any beneficiary is per
mitted to earn up to $1200 in a
year without suspension of any
benefits. When earnings exceed
$1200 in the year, consideration
must then be given to the num
ber of months worked in the
year, and the amounts earned in
each month.
The retirement test may be
summarized as follows
1. Earnings of $1200 or less
in a year cause no suspension of
benefits.
2. Eai ningsjaetween $1200 and
$2080 in a year cause the sus
pension of some but not all,
benefits if earnings exceeds $80
in all months of the year.
3. Regardless of the total earn
ings for the year, a benefit may
still be paid for any month in
which no work is performed in
self-employment or in which
earnings in wages do not exceed
$80.

By Ted W. Brown
Secretory of State of Ohio
The election laws of Ohio are
technical in nature and it might
be well to define some of the
terms used throughout this
series. The term "elector" or
"qualified elector" means a per
son having the qualifications
provided by law to entitle him
to vote, that is, that he shall be
a citizen of the United States,
at least 21 years of age (or will
be on the day of the next gen
eral election), and by that date
have been a resident of the state
for one year, and the county and
voting precinct for 40 days. No
person residing in any registra
tion precinct, however, shall be
entitled to vote at any election
or to sign any declaration of
candidacy, nomination, initiative
or referendum petition, unless
he is duly registered as an elec
tor. The term "voter" is applied
to an elector who actually votes
at an election.
A "circulator" of a petition
is the person who witnesses the
signatures to such petition and
subsequently must take an oath
before a person empowered to
administer oaths and affirm that
he saw each of the persons sign
the petition and that the signa
tures appearing thereon are the
signatures of the persons they
purport to be. Each separate peti
tion paper may be circulated by
one person only.
A "witness" duly appointed is
one who watches the precinct of
ficials count and tally the votes
after the polling place has closed.
A "challenger" is one appointed
to be present and observe the
voting during the time the poll
ing place is open for voting.
(The Ohio River, oddly enough,
does not belong to the State of
Ohio, but to Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Kentucky.
