AT Agricultural Committee Hearing

consideration given organized labor
and other industrial labor through
legislative treatment"
Commenting on the principals of
parity, Mr. Gary said that the con-
Germ of the Delta was mainly now
that a better balanced equity be re-
tanned between agriculture, indus
try and labor. MI. Gary went on to
say that coupled with parity it was
felt that the policy of liberal sup
port prices for basic agricultural
commodities should be continued to
insure farmers reasonable protect
ion from the vicissitudes of weather
and changing market conditions. eff
we have support prices they must
go hand in hand with adequate acre
age control. In emphasizing this
point, we wish to call to your atten-
ton the experience of the operation
of the support program in the early
1905 before we had acreage con-
troll"
Mr.. Gary paid high tribute to the
work of Soil Conservation Service
I'D repeatedly stressed the need
fer preservation of natural resources
in the face of the depletion which
this nation suffered during the war
and which is still going ON in the
interest of rehabilitation of war;
torn countries. Mr. Gary said, Cit
les to land are transitory. Owner
ship passes rapidly and is never
static. Those of us who use natural
resources are equitably and morally
trustees for the present and future
generations. A good start has been
made along this line in the past few
years through the Soil Conservation
Service. We think no greater serv-
ice can be done the country than the
continued strength of this service"

Persons Over IS
Reminded OF Aid
Make Application For
Old AGE Benefits

The Greenwood office of the Soc
ial Security Administration yester-
day urged all persons who have
reached the age of IS to file applica-
tons for old-age benefits.
Mrs. Mary B. Temple, manager of
the local Security branch office, said,
persons over IS who have quit
work, voluntarily or involuntarily,
have economic problems that call
for more than the basket of grocer
les" She stressed the importance of
workers establishing their eligibility
for social security benefits and
pointed out, "our research unit esti-
mates that only 5 percent of those
eligible To- retire are wealthy enough
not to need social security benefits;
that IS per cent may have enough
savings at the age of 65 to live COM
fortably with the aid of their social
security payments and that the re-
naming 80 percent need help in adj
dition to their benefits"
Mrs. Temple emphasized the need
of people keeping informed OF what
they have in social security and de-
clared, It think every worker reach
ing age IS should realize that the
time has come to establish his eli
gibility for old age insurance even
if he has no immediate plans to quit
work and start drawing benefits"
She pointed out several adwanta-
ges to persons 65 years of age or
older who file applications prior to
actual retirement.
Included in these advantages +
l. The applicant viii be given an
amount of his accrued monthly e
tirement payment; 2. If the worker
becomes unemployed, whether be-
cause of voluntary retirement, lay
off or illness), insurance benefits can
be started simply by his signing a
statement. Should he return to work,
benefits will be suspended during
the month he works in covered en-
ployment; 3. Should the worker
fail to notify the office promptly
of his unemployment, benefits win

Congressiono Sub
Committee Gets
Views OF Planter

ub-Committee of the Congress
sional Agriculture Committee of the
House in session here today heard
views of Delta Council on agricul-
tural matters as presented by Hugh
L. Gary, of Greenwood, chairman OF
the organizations agriculture COM
mittee who is well known to Holmes
planters and farmers.
Mr.. Gary made specific recon-
mendations and comments on seven
points of the agricultural program:
Principals of parity, adequate sup
port prices, soil conservation, limi-
tation of payments, export program,
import quotas, and research.
In opening his statement, Mr..
Gary defined the area of Delta Coun-
Gil its production of and interest
in cotton. He stated, 1--WE are fully
cognizant of the fact that the well
fare of the cotton producer cannot
be segregated and separated from
the welfare of common good nor
from the economic welfare of the
world, as cotton is a world COM
modify probably to a greater extent
than any farm crop. We, as cotton
producers. neither seek or desire any
preferential treatment over and
above that given by our National
government to other segments of
society nor agricultural producers
of other commodities. We do not
seek and desire economic control
and legislative consideration that
will serve to put the production on
a sound economic basis comparable
to the assistance given industry
through tariff and other legislative
protection and comparable to the

necessary to insure the producer
maximum share possible of the con-
sumer's dollar and to insure each
consumer through lowered product
ion and marketing cost greatest
value for his dollar"
Concluding his statement, Mr..
Gary paid tribute to the Sub-Com-
mittee for their "diligent and sincere
effort" to take counsel with farmers
on farm problems and programs.

be paid retroactive to the first month
he did not work only if an applica-
ton is on record. 4. Making applica-
ton prior to retirement does not fix
Or freeze" the amount of his bene-
fit as was formerly the case. If he
continues to work in covered en-
ployment, all earnings after actual
application will be used in recon-
putting his benefit upon final re-
tirement.
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1947-11-06

Mrs. Temple also urged survivors
of an employed individual who has
died to make prompt application for
survivor payments since they cannot
be made retroactive for more than
three months after the death of the
wage Garner.

DR.. Exams Gives
Talk an Mexico

A talk on her impressions of Mex
leo where she spent five weeks last
fall attending meeting of the Mex
ican Medical Association was pre-
sented yesterday by DR.. Alice Evans
of the National Institute of Health
before the Washington branch.
American Association of University
Women.
DR.. Evars, an authority on brucel-
losis, attended the meeting which
featured reports by Mexican scien-
lists on their work with the disease
which is prevalent in that country.
The speaker did not talk on the
serious side OF her visit but of her
impressions of Mexico as a vacation
land. She also told of the lovely
handiwork of the Mexican women,
bringing several samples which she
exhibited during her talk.
DR.. Evans, quiet, reserved little
woman, has given many years OF her
life to research connected with bru-
cellosis, or undulant fever, as it is
known to the layman. 1t was DR..
Evans who first discovered the rela-
tionship between two important
"bugs'-the organism which causes
contagious abortion in cattle to the
organism causing the disease known
as Malta fever in goats. Both are
contagious to man. Her discovery,
made while she was young bacteri-
ologist in the Agriculture Depart
ment, proved the two bugs" were
twin brothers" and could be disas-
trous to all humans who drink raw
milk.
In Paul De Kruif's "Men Against
Death" an entire chapter is devoted
to DR.. Evans. The modest scientist
never speaks of her own sufferings
from undulant fever of which she
was a victim for many years.
