His parents and his brothers
and sisters all pitched in to help
him learn everyday activities
such as feeding and dressing him.
self, tasks which come with diff
ficulty to those with cerebral
palsy. An injury to the brain be-
fore, during or after birth, ham,
pers control over muscles but in
many cases leaves the intelligence
unaffected.
RuSselis real chance for re-
habilitation came in 1916 when
the Cerebral Palsy Treatment
Center, one of the first in the
country, was opened Enrolled the
day the service started, the boy
spent the years since then learn
ing to walk, talk, play and live
like other children.
Under the guidance of occup-
ational and physical therapists
and speech therapists, directed by
medical specialists, Russell pro
gressed to the point where he
was admitted on February ] OF
this year to Open Air Elementary
School, Columbus public school
for crippled children.
The boy goes to school con-
fidently, equipped not only with
a high intelligence, but also with
control over his physical handi-
cap. Early intensive training at
the hands of experts, gave him his
chance for schooling and a place
in society. Without it he was
doomed to useless, inactive life
cut off from the world outside
by immobility and incoherent
speech.
Russell's story is being re-
peated in more than 80 similar
centers throughout the country
today which was sponsored by
state or local affiliated units of the
National Society for Crippled
Children and Adults
Since opening of the Colum-
bus center, similar professional
treatment centers for pre-school
children have been established at

ing a girl who didn't think Bobby
Specht was one of the incest boys
she knew.
Specht has personality that
matches his great blade talent.
He is real friend to everybody
in the cast and is always ready
with help or advice for the new
conner.
It's inevitable that during the
course of nearly every interview
the question arises as TO whether
his best girl is one Of the beau
ties in the show or some one out
side the professional field.
SO far, Bobby has succeeded in
answering without revealing any
favorite. When pinned down for
a definite answer he always says:
Mother"
And his Mother really seems to
be the No. / Girl for young Mr.
Specht.

ache to Secretary of the Treas
ury Snyder who once cracked
Everything we owe we owe our
government"
Before New Years he must
figure out how to collect.
The secretary has two leading
proposals to choose from.
The first is a stamp book"
plan developed by the Social Sc
curity Administration. 1t is a
little troublesome but officials
think it would be a breeze for
any housewife who could juggle
red and blue points under OPA.
The other is treasury idea
which would put the housewife
ON par as an employer with the
big corporations having thou
sands of workers.
Under the treasury plan the
housewife-and the farmer, if
farm workers are covered in the
final law-would make out a So
cial Security tax report four
times year, showing the wages
paid to each regular employee
and enclosing the tax due.
Only those demestics who
worked "a days or more in a cal
endar quarter would be counted,
and only if the pay were al
least $50 for the period.
A sample quarterly return for
maid who earned $l0O a month
might show:
Total cash wages, $500. Total
tax deducted, $3.50. Employers
contribution, $3.50. Total tax
paid with return 5000.
Baby sitters are domestics, in
the eyes of Congress, but few
will qualify for coverage. II
could happen if the parents were
confirmed gadabouts and en-
ployed the baby tender on reg
ular basis.
If, however, you think your
hired girl or baby sitter is toe
young to qualify for the tax
think again. There's only one
starting age in the social security
systematic date of birth.

blank may have space fol

"non-cash wages to cover board
and room or other payments in
kind" which go to make up the
total salary.
The cash value to be placed on
board and room, If any, is a
problem to be dealt with by the
Senate and House conferees. As
far as domestic workers are con-
cerned, meals and lodging don't
count in the wage.
Supporters of this Quarterly
return" think it would be easier
to enforce than any other since
it would put the responsibility
squarely on the householders. If
the law were ignored, the gov
ernment could make things un-
comfortable though it probably
won't send any housewives to
Jail.
The rival stamp book system
was worked out by the social Sc
curity people three years ago
but repeatedly is losing favor
now in that agency.
1t would operate something
like this:
The maid would get a stamp
book from the government along
with her social security card.
The housewife who employees
her would go to the postoffice
and buy social security stamps
In wage denominations from ST
to $lOO. The 81 stamp would cost
three cents and the $100 stamp
would cost So.
On payday the housewife
would paste the proper number
of stamps in the maids book. If
the pay was $12 for instance, she
would use a $40 and two 81
stamps, which had cost her SO
cents at the postoffice.
She also would withhold half
the tax or l8 cents from the
maids pay. That would take
care of the maids contribution.
If Congress decides to cover
agricultural workers under this
collection plan, the farmer would
buy his stamps from the rural
mail carrier. When he pasted
them in the book and deducted
half the tax from the farm hand 5
pay his responsibility would end
Only those who worked on a
farm so days or more in a cal
endar quarter and earned $50 OF
more would be covered.
This generally would exclude
the migratory worker and sum
mer help also usually would be
ruled out. The high school boy
who is hired on June / and quits
September l has worked a full
quarter year, but not calendar
quarter.

The farmer will become tax
collector, too, provided Congress
agrees on the Senate's version of
the new social security expan-
sion bill and President Truman

The measure is not yet final

since Senate-House conference
group is threshing out the diff
ferences in the bills.
The Senate bill would start
100000 farm hands and rural
hired help to carrying social Sc
curity cards and earning old age
pensions. The House version in
cludes 100000 domestic serv-
ants among the 100000 citi-
zens who soon will qualify for
pension coverage. But it skips
the farm workers.
