Second, INSTRUMENTATION systems
are becoming fairly common on farms.
With stations located at various key
points, farmers may be called directly

And, that's only the beginning.

lamps have been developed which, not
only illuminate the dark "innards" Of

High school teachers: The
strong competition for teaching
positions which existed in mid
1850 may be "eased considerably"
in most high school teaching
fields. Mobilization quickly could
drain off any oversupply.
Lawyers: In early 1850 the pro-
fession was overcrowded. Compe-
tition, however, will be moderated
by the program of defense mobili-
cation.
Newspaper reporters: The re-
porting field, always highly COM
petitive, probably will remain so,
despite developments which tend
to create new openings. The I'M
settled international situation
may draw off a few experienced
reporters to foreign assignments,
thus creating openings for some
newcomers. However, journalism
school graduates are at a new
high, and the number probably
will increase still more.
Personnel workers: Keen COM
petition for entry positions, which
existed in early 1850, probably
will be eased by increased defense
activities.

HOME AGENT GIVES TIPS
ON BUYING CLOTHING

Look on the seamy side before
buying new spring dresses or
suits, clothing specialists say.
Both the stitching and finish Of
seams is an important clue to a
good buy, Ruth Current, state
home agent, advises.
Look for straight, smooth, even
seams with stitches not too long
to hold securely. Avoid any gar
ment with puckered or wandering
stitching or loose, unfastened
threads dangling.
Make sure seams are wide
enough for possible alterations.
Wide seam allowances-from "
to y inches on plain seams-are
less likely to fray than those
which are cut too close.
Note how seam edges are finish
ed French seams, in which all
raw edges are turned under and
stitched and are about 4 inch
wide when finished, are recon-
mended for sheer cottons or ray
ons which fray easily. Firm, med
ium-weight fabric like Bingham
or percale will hold securely with
double-stitched seams about Is
inch when finished. On heavy ma
terial, however, such finishes may
be took thick for best appearance
and difficult to press fiat. On firm
ly woven heavy fabric, edges can
simply be "pinked" with the
shears provided for this purpose.
Fabric that is inclined to ravel,
however, should have raw edges
bound with tape, held with over
casting stitches, or turned in and
machine-stitched.
How seams hold depends also
on how the garment fits. Comfor-
tahle-fitting clothes put less strain
on seams. Those that are too tight
may pull out any seam, however
good the finish.

VETERANS
Information and Answers
To Questions by the
Veterans Administration

A new survey of job prospects
in a defense economy is being us
ed by the Veterans Administra-
ton in counseling veterans plan
ming to take education or training
under the CT Bill or Public Law
16, the Vocational Rehabilitation
Act, VA Regional Office Manager
J. D. DeRamus has announced.
The survey describes the en-
ployment outlook in 81 occupa-
tions, many of which have under
gone marked changes as a result
of Americas defense efforts. The
jobs range from accountants and
acetylene burners to watch re-
pairmen and weather observers.
Prepared in cooperation with
the VA by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the us. Department
of Labor, the data will be incor-
porated in a revised edition of the
Occupational Outlook Handbook
to become available for purchase
within a few months as BIS Bull
letin No. 99S.
COunseling Process
The VA explained how its new
job prospect survey will be used
in counseling veterans.
The counseling process itself
consists of detailed interviews
and tests which point up veter-
ans interests, aptitudes and abili-
ties. Results of the interviews
and tests enable the VA counselor
to help the veteran make sound
selection of course of training.
At this point, the occupational
outlook survey enters the picture.
By taking it into consideration,
the veteran with the help of his
vocational adviser can decide up
on training that not only fits his
capabilities, but also serves the
welfare of the nation.
Counseling is required Of all
disabled veterans planning train
ing under Public Law 16, the Vo-
cational Rehabilitation Act, the
VA said.
It also is available-but not re-
quired-for those who are consid-
ering training under the CT bill
and who want their training to
play a direct role in this period of
national emergency.
Counseling is provided at all VA
regional offices, as well as at
nearly 200 guidance centers
throughout the country.
Excerpts

from the survey:

tense production and the increase
in the size of the armed forces as
well as government employment

in early 1850.

5 MILLION ADDED
UNDER SOCIAL
SECURITY LAW

Recent amendments to the So
cial Security Law extend coverage
to about five million self-employed
persons. What does this mean to
you? 1t means if you are one of
this number, you will have to pay
an additional tax on your earned
net income for the year 1851 and
thereafter. 1t also means that you
will be entitled to all benefits pro-
vided by the Old-Age and Surviv-
ors' Insurance provision of the So
cial Security Act.
Income derived from the prac-
tice of the Ministry of any church
or from the performance of the
duties of any religious order can
not be considered for the purpose
of this law. Income derived from
the practice of their profession by
any of the following professional
men or women is excludes: physi-
clan, lawyer, dentist, osteopath,
veterinarian, chiropractor, naturo-
path, optometrist, architect, GER
titled public accountant, licensed
or full-time practicing accountant,
Christian Science practitioner,
professional engineer, or funeral
director. Income derived from the
operation of farm is also ex-
cluded. Generally speaking, all
other self-employed persons are
affected.
The tax imposed for Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance is PA 20
for the years 1851, 1852 and 1858.
This tax applies to net income
from self-employment if it is $500
or more a year, with the maximum
of $4,000 in any one taxable year.
1t will be assessed at the same
time that income tax returns are
filed. Except in some rare in
stances, you will not have this to
pay until your income tax return
for the year 1851 is filed in the
early part of 1852. Full informa-
ton regarding this tax will soon
be available from the office of the
Collector of Internal Revenue for
this district.
If you are self-employed per-
son and are not specifically ex-
Guided by the law, coverage is
compulsory. You will need So
cial security account number be-
fore you file your first return. II
you already have social security
card, you will use the one you
have. If you have worked fol-
wages and have wage credits with
the Social Security Administra-
ton these will be combined with
your self-employment income
credits in determining the amount
of your social security benefits al
later date. Full information
about benefits can be obtained
from the nearest office of the So
cial Security Administration.

Naval Blockade

Chairman Russell. When

China?
Mr.. Acheson. No, sir. We have

1t has been the view of all ele-
ments in our Government that
the first effort we should make
was in connection with the eco

those efforts and I think have had
considerable success.
I think it is clear that we can
not get nations to 60 further in
