OLD AGE MADE EASIER

The Social Security Board has
been giving good deal of publicity
to the progrss, has been made under
the law to furnish security to old
people. Chairman Altmeyer shows
that the States and the Federal
Government are actively cooperating
in making steady Roadway in pro-
yiding pensions for old people. This
is very comforting condition for
millions of people who are approach
ing the western slopes, with no idea
of what lays beyond to keep them
from poverty in their old-age.
More than 80 million men and
women are building UP insurance
against old age, and 25,500,00O
workers have earned some credit to-
ward insurance in the event of un-
employment.
At the present time nearly 1,700,-
600 aged persons are receiving
monthly cash allowances from Fed
eral and State funds. Hundreds of
thousands of children are being
cared for.
Social Security is here to stay. 1t
Is constructive step, and there can
be no turning back.

Like his father, Eric the Red,
famed Morse colonizer of Green
land, Left Ericsson, was an explorer
and was the first known European
to discover "Vinland," or Vine
land" in North America, observes
a writer in the Washington Star. In
1000 A. D. long before Christopher
Columbus was born Left, with 35
men and a small ship, sailed from
Greenland to the west, and after
many days of exposure sighted land.
Going ashore, Left called this new
land 'fVinland" or "Vineland" be-
cause of the abundance of grapes
and fruit found growing and spent
the winter there. Some historians
believe that his party landed in
Nova Scotia and came as far as the
New England coast. Unfortunate
ly the Norsemcn left no evidence of
building forts or settlements. The
facts regarding the voyage how
ever are recorded in the Morse
sagas which are widely accepted as
being trustworthy.

How Word "Straw" Became
Part of Word Strawberry

The origin of "straw" in straw
berry isn't known for certain. The
word is from the Anglo-Saxon
"streaw." The dictionary suggests
that strawberries were probably so
named because the runners resem-
BILE straws. Another source regards
the word strawberry" as a corrup-
'tion of Strawberry" referring to
the straying habits of the runners In
reproducing new plants.
It is customary to cover straw
berry beds with straw to keep down
the weeds, fertilize the soil and pre-
vent the earth from soiling the ber-
ries. This circumstance is respon-
sible for the name, according to
some authorities. A more pictur-
esque theory holds that the name
alludes to the old custom of string
ing strawberries on straws and SELL
ing them on market days for 30
much q straw.

ACREAGE OF STRIP CROPS SET
RECORD THIS YEAR

This year, more farmers than ever
before have used strip cropping to
protect their fields from soil ero-
sion, according to report from the
soil Conservation Service.
A Nationwide survey by the Ser
vice reveals that almost 100000
acres of agricultural land were plant
ed to alternate strip of open-tilled
and close-growing crops. Strip crop
ping, developed as an erosion-con-
troll measure only a few years ago,
is now practiced in almost every
State.
Strips of legumes or other close
growing crops-between strips of
corn. cotton, tobacco, and other
open-tilled crops on sloping fields
slow down surface water with its
load of soil in suspension. The dem
ser vegetation filters out the soil
particles and large quantities of
water soak into the soil.
Strip cropping is most effective
with contour Cultivation, rows rum
ming around the hillsides instead of
straight up and down which also re-
tards erosion. Each horizontal fur
row and harrow scratch is minia-
ture dam to retard run-off.

HOW

LAUGHTER FRESHENS BLOOD
AND AIDS HEART ACTION
Mirth is to the human body as
sunshine is to vegetation, DR.. S.
A. Shoemaker states in an ar
ticle entitled Laughter" in Hy-
geia, the Health Magazine.
If we would have life abundant
and flowing over, we need CO.
pious supply of oxygen, the au-
thor declares, and this can be
secured most easily through
laughter. At the same time, this
deeper oxygenization Of the blood
is secured without the irksome-
ness of conscious effort that ac-
companies exercise taken up for
its own sake.
Thus through laughter one can
vitalize ones blood while reclin-
ing on an overstuffed couch when
not able to engage in active
sports in the gymnasium.
Laughter is source Of therapy
for the neurotic, irregular heart.
Patients with this affection are
afraid to laugh lest their heart
will stop altogether; whereas ex-
periments have proved that
hearty laugh repeated at proper
intervals has relieved this trou-
BILE. The heart is deeply under
the influence of the emotions, and
the free outburst of laughter COM
bined with its mechanical action
produces salutary effect on that
organ.
Laughter is a good exercise for
the digestive organs. They are
definitely moved to increased ac-
tivity by the shaking and mas
sage they get from the abdomi-
nal muscles during laughter.

POOlesvilIe Democrats
Oppose Dole To Those
Fit To Earn A Living

The Poolesville GAINESVILLE Young
Mems Democratic Club met February
9Th and went on record as favoring a
resolution which they presented to the
United Young Mems Democratic Club
of the County, as follows.
eve believe those who are unable
physically or mentally should be cared
for. However, we feel that the United
Young Mems Democratic Club of the
County should go on record as being
opposed to direct County dole to those
who are capable physically or mental :
ly of providing a livelihood of their
own. We, as representatives of the
County uppermost farming district,
come into contact with those who are
receiving direct County dole, and who
are both physically and mentally able
to provide for their own.
"We further ask the Club to con-
slider how such doles are Turing from
other states such persons as are non
taxpaying and otherwise burdens to
our County. We, as taxpayers of the
upper County, are supporting such
element by dole and sending their
children to school. You, as taxpayers
of the lower part Of the County, are
having your tax rates increased also
by this extra burden.
eve further aver that such prac-
tees are demoralizing generally Of
farm help and most Importantly de-
moralizing and lowering standards of
our community"

Would Place Tax
OF Cent On Every
Gallon OF Fuel Oil
Pennsylvania Congressman APP
pear Before House Ways And
Means Committee Urging Bill

Information has been received by
the Maryland Petroleum Industries
Committee that considerable pressure
is being made to force through Con-
gress measure placing tax of one
(1c) cent per gallon on all fuel oil.
The purpose of the bill is to discour-
age fuel oils competition with coal
Congressman Boland and Flannery
from Pennsylvania, the principle coal
producing region of the United States,
have appeared before the House Ways
and Means Committee and urged the
imposition of the federal levy on fuel
oil so as to give coal competitive
advantage over fuel oil.
]. P. Lanigan, Secretary of the
Maryland Petroleum Industries Com
mittee when informed of this action,
made the following comment, "The
imposition of federal tax of one (1c)
cent on all fuel oil would be blow
below the belt to thousands of domes-
tic and industrial consumers of fuel
ell. The tax, amounting to a sales tax
of over Is per cent would increase
enormously the heating bills of thous-
|ands of domestic consumers and would
add confscatory burden to the oper-
ating costs of those industries who
depend on fuel oil for heat and power.
We are forwarding our protests to
the Maryland delegation in Congress
land urging all consumers of fuel oil
to protest the imposition of this un-
fair and inequitable tax on fuel oil,
which is being advocated primarily
for the purpose of giving another type
of fuel, an unfair competitive advan-
tage."

Medical Association Plans
To Aid County's Needy

A delegation from the Montgomery
County Medical Association headed by
DR.. Jacob w. Bird director Of the
Montgomery County General Hospital,
appeared before the board to urge
adoption of program to partially
pay the cost of providing medical
treatment to INDECENT patients.
The plan jas outlined by DR.. Bird,
would apply to those cases which do
not now come under the supervision
of the county aid. The medical soci-
ety's proposal would have the county
pay one-half of the customary fees for
treatment, the other half being abb
sorbed by the physicians doing the
work. All patients would be permitted
to retain the services of the physician
of their choice.
The County government would not
be called upon to pay anything for
patients who deliberately refuse to pay
their doctors bills, but would act
merely to assist both the patients and
the physicians in the cases of persons
who need treatment but have no
money and are not eligible for the
governmental relief already provided
BY other agencies.
In addition to DR.. Bird, the other
members of the delegation who spoke
in favor of the plan were DR.. George
M. Boyer, of Damascus; DR.. VIM. A.
Linthicum, Rockville; and DR.. v. L.
Ellicott, county health officer.

THIS DISCOUNT PLAN would
work like this: A woman wants $40
pair of shoes, walks into a store and
buys them, but pays the storekeeper
only $3.50, because she gets a 15%t
discount. The storekeeper signs a
voucher" certifying that he has given
the woman discount of $1.50. He de-
posts that voucher in bank. which
credits it to his account. just as
though he had deposited the actual
cash. The bank, in turn, sends the
voucher to the U. S. Treasury, which
gives the bank $1.50 in special paper
money, called "Inter-bank currency
notes.. So the woman gets $40 shoes
for $3.50, the storekeeper gets his
full $40 to pay bills he owes to whole
salers or manufacturers and the bank
loses nothing on the deal. A Federal
Credit Commission" would regulate
the discount and the regulation of this
amount of discount would be the heart
of the plan.
