No Boost In
Sugar Allotment

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 - The
agricultural department today an
nounced civilian ALLEGATIONS for the
coming January March quarter
which will allow no increase in con-
Sumer and industrial user ration
levels during that period.
Earlier OPA announced that a
new consumer spare ration stamp
for five pounds of sugar will be
made valid on Jan. /, and will be
good through April 30 This replaces
the current stamp, expiring at the
end of the year.
The agricultural departments al

appears unlikely that any increases
in rationing will be made prior to
April l, 1947 - when the size of the
crops will be more definately estab-

Pointing out that one person died
every three hours last year in Ohio
from tuberculosis, J. E. Garretson,
Home and Community Committee
director of the Ohio Farm Bureau,
Columbus, today urged farmers to
buy more Christmas seals. Local
committees, now organized all over
the state, are endeavoring to bring
better health condition to rural
Ohio.
More than $500 persons died
from tuberculosis in Ohio last year."
he said, with more than 5000 cases
reported. Eighty per cent of
these cases were in the low income
group of our population and were
unable to pay for proper treatment
Much can be done to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis to other per-
sons by adequate finances to carry
on an intensified program of pre-
Vention.
This is the purpose and use of
Christmas seal sales. Let's buy more

Social Security Completes Ten

service in the local operation of the
Federal old-age and survivors in
surance program will be marked this
month by the GAINESVILLE office of
the Social Security Administration,
William J. McCauley, office mana
ger said today.
Established by the Social Secur-
ity Act of 1885, the program origin
ally was confined to benefits for
qualified wage earners who had
reached age IS and retired from
employment in industry and com
merce. In 1889, an amendment to
the Act added survivors insurance
to the system.
The first 1O8 local offices were
established in various parts of the
country in 1886, and by 1899, 327
field offices were functioning. To-

day, there are ASS offices through
out the nation to give every person
access to the free information and
services necessary to the programs
operation.
1t is the local office of the Social
Security Administration that pro-
cesses claims for benefits under the
old-age and survivors insurance
program. The local office gives all
information and assistance needed
by workers in employment covered
by the Social Security Act in pre-
serving their insurance rights SO
that they will be able to receive the
full benefits they have earned. The
specific duties of the local office in
clude the issuance of new and
duplicate social security cards
and assistance to workers in check
ing on their accounts and getting
the accounts put straight where er-
rors have been made.
The steady growth of the old-age
and survivors insurance system IS
reflected in the year-by-year in
crease in the number of living
workers who have accumulated
wage credits toward possible bene-
fits. In the first year-1937-this
figure stood at 32,800000 persons;
by 1910 it had increased to 44,800-
900; by 1943 to 65,7OO,000; and 1945
to 73,2OO,OO0.
AS in all parts of the nation, COM
paritively few retired wage earners
in the GAINESVILLE area qualified for
benefits in 1910, the first year in
which they were payable. A total of
1912 men, women and children in
the GAINESVILLE area are receiving
, earned retirement of survivors
benefits each month that total
$88,715.31. In addition to Muskin-
gum county, the GAINESVILLE area in
cludes Athens, Coshocton, Guernsey,

Farm Bureau Members
Study School Situation

Seeking better rural school fac
ilities in Ohio, Farm Bureau mem
bers in meetings over the state are
studying resolutions passed at the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation an
nual meeting in an effort to put a
program in action.
E. ]. Bath, legislative director of
the Ohio Farm Bureau, said that the
acute shortage of rural teachers is
due largely to inadequate salaries.
To meet the situation, the Farm
Bureau endorses the principle of
greater equalization of educational
opportunity for all children in the
distribution of the state public
school funds" he said.
Adequate appropriations should
be made from the state public school
fund by the General Assembly to
meet the present needs, he said.
These would amount to approx
miately $85,000,000.

Texas wheat growers will plant
about 100000 acres of the new rust
resistant Austin wheat next spring.
The variety not only will improve
Texas wheat yields but will reduce
production of rust spores which
might be carried by winds to wheat
fields in states north of the Texas
border.
Trials at the u. S. Dept. of Agri-
culture field station, Huntley Mon
tana, indicate dairy COWS produce
more milk when kept in pen barn
than when confined in stanchions.
Pen barns require more beddings
than is used with COWS in stanchions
but less cleaning is needed in the
pen barn. The milk increase in pen
barns was accredited to more COM
