Grange Farm Plan

The National Grange has sug-
gested to congress a farm program
it said is designed to meet any
emergency.
A. S. Goss, Grange master, told
the house agricultural committee the
plan is intended to lead to self
supporting agriculture, with a mini
mum of controls"
In order, Goss suggested these
steps be followed for self-support-
ing agriculture with the least fed
eral control:
l. Measures requiring no direct
government assistance and no man
datory controls or superintendent
as nationwide promotion and adver-
Using to dispose of surplus crops.
g. Extension of the marketing
agreements act whereby producers
of a crop join together to set up
standards and prices for their prod
uct, subject to government approval.
3. Two-price or multiple-price sys-
TENS to permit the primary part of
a crop to be marketed at or near
parity Ga fair) price, with the bal
ance diverted to secondary uses at
lower prices. Losses, if any, would
be distributed among all producers
of the crop.
A. Price supports, preferably flex-
ible, if possible.
5. Acreage allotments and market
ing quotas. The Grange believes
marketing quotas are more effec-
tive than acreage allotments and are
preferred when not used together

Your Social Security
by Mary King Temple

In our day-to-day work, we
have found that too many do not
know about Social Security rights
which were earned and paid for
by the Social Security taxes de-
Quoted from the family bread
winners weekly or monthsly pay
checks.
This tax pays for an insurance
policy. with the Bureau OF Old
Age and Survivors Insurance.
This policy is payable to you in
case of your husbands death if
he has worked enough to be in
sured. If this unfortunate event
should occur in your family, you
should get in touch with our Of
flee. You may be eligible to re-
ceive cash benefit payments
These payments are of two kinds
monthly benefits and lunp-sum
benefit.
To illustrate the two types OF
benefits, let me tell you Of an &C.
tual case which was recently
handled by our office. A lady
whom I shall call Mrs. Black.
came into our office. She stated
that her husband had been killed
while working on his JOB, and
that she had been left with two
children to support age 8 and
10. Mrs. Black was very worried
about the family's future. She
said that her husband had carried
only small amount of insurance,
and that the funeral expenses had
taken most of that.
We examined Mr.. Blacks re-
cord of earnings, and were happy
to be able to inform Mrs. Black
that she and the children were
entitled to monthly payments of
$3.50. If there had been no minor
children, Mrs. Black would have
been entitled to a lump-sum
payment; and at the age of IS,
would be entitled to monthly
payments of $22.50 for the rest
of her life if she had not re-
married.
You should contact our office
at 2l9 West Market street in
Greenwood in the event of your
husbands death. Payments can
be made only three months re-
troactively. For example, if your
claim is not filed until six
months after the death of your
husband. you would lose three
months payments. Claims for
lump-sum death payments must
be made with two years after
the death of the wage Garner.
A representative of this office
is in Lexington at the Mississippi
State Employment Service office
on the first and third Tuesday of
each month at 1000 a. m.
