SAVING FOR DEFENSE

There is new hope for a reasonable saving
in the United States bill for national defense.
1t will run to S100 year for every citizen But
the Senate Appropriations COMMITTEES has just
sliced $1,000,0O0,00O off the sura approved by
the House, and the increasing necessity for eco
nomizing somewhere should impel the lower
chamber to agree to most of this saving.
There is chance that the House may insist
on some cuts it had made and the Senate COM
mittee returned Beyond that, there are possi-
bilities of savings on stock -piling and through
Hoover reforms.
The largest single item in the Senate COM
mittee's cut was about $800,O00,000 that had
been earmarked for building 70-group air
force. The senators have agreed with President
Truman and the defense secretary that 48
groups are enough at this time. This seems to
us sensible conclusion. For there is no evi-
dence of any emergency need. The air force
and the Navy combined have more than 20, 900
planes, and American plane-building capacity
far exceeds that of any potential enemy.
The need today is less for pilng up large
numbers of planes, which become quickly obso-
lescent, than for experimenting and keeping
reasonable number of improved types coming
along. Another need is to maintain the skill of
pilots trained during the war.
Moreover if the danger from immediate mil
itary attack from without is less than the dan
ger from weakness and inefficency within,
then saving on defense can be saving for de-
fense-Christian Science Monitor.

OUR COUNTY
AND
SOCIAL SECURITY
by D. w. LAMBERT, Mgr.
Asheville Social Security Office

Subject: Definition of Child
Under the Social Security Act:
A child under the Social Security
Act is a natural child of wage
Garner, his stepchild, and his adopt
ed child. Therefore, these children
are due monthly benefits, until 18,
if the wage Garner is 65, and receiv-
ing benefits or if the wage Garner
dies, at whatever age, provided he
has worked long enough in employ
ment covered by the Act. We have
special interest in minor children
because they cannot file for them
selves but are dependent upon those
who have the responsibility of their
care and support to file for them.
And, sometimes, children lose ben
efits because the persons so respon-
sible do not file applications ON
their behalf in time to prevent loss.
This week, we handled the claim
of wage Garner who has one son,
age 16. This wage Garner is IS and
entitled to monthly check of
$3.50. In addition to his check, he
will receive a monthly check of
iS16.25 (half the amount of his)
for his son until the son is 18. The
important thing is that the wage
Garner had to file an application not
only for his retirement benefit but
an application on behalf of his son.
Another case deals with the prob
lem where the father, or wage earn
er, died leaving three minor chill
dren. We were first notified of his
death by a funeral director. Upon
investigation, we found that the de-
ceased wage Garner was widower.~
! The three children are in the home
of their grandmother. The grand
mother did not know that she should
! come to us and file an application
on behalf of the children and, if
we had not gotten in touchs with
her, they would have lost benefits.
The father worked long enough for
his children to be paid monthly ben
efits. The grandmother will get
1851 each month for the children
in her care. It's not much, but even
this small amount will help in rear
ing this orphan family.
l hope the two examples l have
given may help you to understand
children's rights under the Social
Security program.
| will be in Marion on the second
and fourth Friday at the Courthouse
in the Jury room at 1880 a. m.

SUNBURN CAN BE FATAL

The death of twenty-four-y -year-old man
from sunburn is reported from another state
and the tragedy should serve to warn all per-
sons, and especially fair-skinned people, that
it can be dangerous to expose ones self unduly
to the rays of the sum-
1t is not always the brightness of the sun that
causes fatal burns. On slightly overcast days,
the solar rays can filter through and be as pew
erful as the bright sunlight.
We do not know too much about the rays of
the sun other than that they are extremely pow
erful. Some patients are exposed to the rays Of
the sun for treatment, especially tuberculosis
Victims but is safe to assume that if beneficial
results be secured, there is the possibility
of harmful effects.
We do not 60 into the question of pigmenta-
tons, which explains why some people are cas-
lily sunburned and others are not. 1t is we'll for
everybody to be temperate in exposure until

A LONG WAY TO co

That we still have long way to

the 28th annual reports of the Coun-
Gil on Medical Education and Hos
pitfalls of the American Medical As
sociation.
Figures in the report reveal that
"during 194S one patient was ad-
mitted to a hospital in the CONT
mental United States every 19 Sc
conds . -, and that the number
Of admissions reached a new high
of 16,422,774. The previous high
was 16,257,402 which occurred in

born infants in all registered hos

RETAILING IS HEALTHY

'This Week magazine has made long re-
port on changes and progress in the food dis
tribution industry. Generally, it says, it's re-
searchers found ''better housekeeping, more
know-how in merchandising, more precision in
measuring stock movement"
This is undoubtedly true of retailing as a
whole including all the other lines no less than
food. On first glance it may seem to be of inter-
est only to the people who own and operate
stores. But it has very direct bearing on the
consumer as we'll. What it means, from the pub
lic standpoint, is that we offered wider
and more appealing stocks of goods and that
"a still higher degree of efficiency and economy
in merchandising has been attained. The result
lis more and better goods for our money.
The "This Week" survey says that we'll man.
aged independent stores can successfully COM
pete with the chains. This substantiates some
thing that we can see for ourselves in every
American community. What people once con-
sidered the menace of chain retailing simply
never developed It didn't develop because a
good merchant, no matter what kind of store
he operates, can keep and increase his patron
age.
Retailing is healthy in this country-and it's
doing better job for itself and the public all
the time.

POVERTY AND PROSPERITY

The United States has just passed through
a period of relative prosperity. New York City,
the greatest metropolis of the nation, is gener-
ally supposed to be something of an economic
bellwether of the nation.
With these Introductory remarks, we caH at
tention to the fact that one out of every nine
children in New York received assistance last
year from the City's Department of Welfare.
"A total of 132,5o0 children live in homes, &C
cording to The New York Times, and receive
grants from the City enabling the parents or
other relatives to hold the homes together.
The City of New York is certainly to be COM
mended for providing $28,000,000 out of the
$69,800,000 necessary to care for the children,
but the fact that more than eleven per cent of
the children in a great American city have to
depend upon public funds for proper living
conditions is somewhat amazing.
