demands for maintenance Of fer
tility. repairs, buying machinery
and livestock, and so on, all re-
quire cash, and there is often little
left at the years end to build up a
retirement fund. Often, when the
farm operator has to quit work, his
family is in difficult straits, and may
have to depend on public aid or
charity.
The tenant farmer and the farm
laborer generally are in worse cir
cumstances than the man who owns
his land, once they have to quit
working. With little or no savings,
the tenant and the farm hand who
cannot earn anything are soon hard
up indeed. They and their families
suffer humiliation and want.
War Changes Things.
The war, of course, has made a
great difference in the farmers stu
alton. The incomes Of many are
double, in some cases treble, what
they were before. But the war-and
perhaps our present prosperity-is
temporary.
Farm people were left out of the
social insurance program not be-
cause they we're thought to be al
ready secure. The reason for ex-
Guiding them was that in 1885 the
program was new and the admins
trative hurdles looked very high.
But now the Social Security board
is convinced that old-age and sur
vivors insurance can be admins
tered for farm people simply, at
low cost, and without being unduly
troublesome to them.
What would it mean to farm
operators and farm hands to have
this insurance.? 1t would mean the
same protection it means already
to those who are under the system.
A couple Of examples will illustrate
the protection old-age and survivors
insurance offers.
Back in 1886, when Harry j. was
nearly go, he got himself a job with
a construction company. After eight
years, he wanted to stop working
and retire to his small place in the
country. He hadn't felt he could do
SO, however. because he wasn't sure
he could ear a living from farm
ing his few acres. Upon inquiry he
found that his monthly retirement
payment would be about $27, since
he had earned an average of $500 a
month. His wife, who was also past
65, would get half that much; so
that would make the family income
over $40 every month. sufficient for
their needs.
Widow Got $40 a. Month.
Mr.. c. was a newspaper linotype
machine operator and had always
earned high wages. He hoped to give
all five children a good education.
The two elder ones were attending
the university. Suddenly Mr.. c. got
pneumonia and died within a week.
The widow was left with three
children still at school and no in
come save what Mary and Jean
could earn by leaving school and
taking jobs. She went to the Social
Security field office, thinking that
perhaps there would be a small
lump sum going to her. probably be
no more than a couple of hundred
dollars. She was amazed to learn
that she vas entitled to monthly
for herself and the three
younger children! She received

Left An elderly woman cashes
her old age insurance check in a
New York bank. Since February l,
1910, persons over 65 are eligible to
receive the benefits of Social
Security payments, even though
they have worked only a short time
under the system and have contrib

(Right) This New York couple
was the first to apply for monthly
payments to which they we're entitled
under the Social Security system.
The checks began to flow out in 1910.

that production for the naVy's part

For instance it has been found
hat damn. anti-2ircraft guns are
more useful IL the Pacific than the
23-mm type Consequently, the
navy has cuttack contracts for 90
nm. guns and ammunition and has
ordered a relative increase in the
heavier weapon.
Vast increases have been ordered
in production of rocket ammuni-
Cion, attack transports and attack
cargo craft, and high capacity am
munition. CItbacks have been Or
dered in fighter planes but they
affected a part Of the program on
w.ich production had not even
started. There also has been a re-
ducticn in orders for transport
Elanes because the navy is now get
ling what it needs from the army.
When the war in Europe is over,
the navy may set some other items
from the army, but naval procure
ment officials said such supplies
would BE only an infinitesmal por-
ticn of thc navv's requirements.

reason than the great distances in
