CARELESS of age, is eligible for bene-
fits if she has, in her care, his chill

ply for her benefits at the same time
that she claims payments for the
children
Monthly benefits are payable, al
so, for the children, stepchildren, or
adopted children, under age 10. of
retired worker who is receiving
monthly payments of Social Insur-
ance. Application for the children's
benefits may be made at the time
that the parent files his own claim.
The wage Garner who has reached
age 65 or the survivor of deceased
wage Garner who has any reason
to believe that he or she is eligible
for payments of Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance should call at the
nearest Office of the Social Security
Board and talk with the marfager or
his assistant. If it appears that
benefits are payable, the claimant
will be given help in filing out his
papers and in obtaining any evil
dence that may be required in con-
nection with his claim.

The ousting of Hermann L. Mills,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, president of the Young Mems
Republican Club and member of the
Board of Street Commissioners, as
a member of the Washington Coun-
ty OPA Price Panel, has provided
that gentleman with fistful of am
munition that he can use next
Spring if he goes through with his
present intention of entering the
political arena as a candidate for
Office in the 1916 Federal elections.
Mr.. Millss, busted by the State
OPA Director because of his criti-
cism of the OPA, expressed at a
meeting of the Commercial Travel
ers' Association, at which he was
the guest speaker, knows exactly
how to make political capital of
such situation and he made his
first move when he invited Alexan-
der Griffin, Mutual Broadcasting
System commentator, to address a
public gathering in Hagerstown
yesterday on the current meat
shortage in Hagerstown and Wash
ington County
I happened to hear last month
that Mr.. Mills had been asked to
resign from the Panel Board and
that he had refused, my informant
telling me that Mr. Mills had stated
that he failed to see why he should
resign just because he told the
truth. l was expecting that perhaps
a conference might be held between
Mr.. Mills and the State OPA di-
rector, at which the matter could
be satisfactorily ironed out, but, in
stead of that, came the summary
dismissal with all its political pos
sibilities.

There Is A Difference,

Some people find it difficult to under
stand why it should make amy difference
whether government or private enter
prise operates industry, so long as pay
comes regularly.
Well, in the first place, if government
were at the helm politics would be mixed
up with jobs. The right to work would in
evitably depend upon "going along" with
the political group in power-which would
lead straight to oppression of the worst
sort. In the second place, if government
were at the helm there would probably be
few industries of any kind. This is indi-
Gated by the fact that while other nations
have great resources, no other nation has
enjoyed development comparable to the
United States, and only in this country has
the individual always been free to go rs
far as his capabilities permit
If you think freedom and progress in
the United States are mere coincidence,
look about you at any major industry. You
will see the most strenuous effort to build
for the future You will see new ideas ga
lore. You Will see the most ingenious de-
vices to encourage the public to try out
these new ideas.
The coal industry for example, is now
promoting the construction of larger CHM
neys in new homes chimneys big enough
for the installation of coal-burning heating
plants. The slogan is, "don't build coal
out" Sure, it's advertising Back of it
is the desire to teach consumers new uses
for coal. This process of creating demand
is used by all industry. From it has come
our American standard of living. Had it
not been for such continual pushing, pres
ent day luxuries and conveniences would
still be buried in the ground. The publi
would never have known anything better
than the accepted, had it merely waited
for officeholders to pioneer the untried
