UNITED NATIoNs ANp KoREA

On the Korean conflict there already has been con-
siderable amount of comment Some of it seems lacking
comprehension Of the struggle and nadverent and
maybe deliberate distortion of the facts The so-caled
Korean War as several comments point out become
issue in the next Presidential campaign To make an
honest and appraisal Of the disturbance in Korea
it is essential that the avowed purpose Of the UN nterven
ton be kept always in front.
World peace had been shattered fighting was going on
between North and South Korea and there clear and
present danger that the conflict might spread in resulting
worldwar 1t is not necessary to determine which sec
ton of Korea the aggressor Both North and South
Korea have each been branded the aggresso and it IS
possible though not highly probable that aggression was
started by both simultaneously The chief concern OF the
United Nations to stop the fighting and for that aim
the UN forces were sent to the embattled area.
For more than year the fighting has ragged but has
been effectively confined to Korea. Recently stage
has been reached when all parties involved seem be ready
to sit down and consider return to peaceful living
The current ceasefre discussions seem to be moving
along favoraby toward the conclusion Of peace settlement

Without going into any long eco

I'd like to bring up two Things

First-why is it that when JefT

board says the trade-in value can
be applied against the required

principle doesn't apply2
Instead. the board says. the
trade-in value of my washer must
be subtracted from the new modefs
selling price, and then ! must pay
down 25cs of the balance remaining.
If it were handled the same way

my old washer would take care Of
the down payment required for a

but / have to pay an additional
$3.50 in cash before | can get de.
livery on the new model. This would
mean in effect a down payment Of
$S7.50-or nearly 443t!
Second-why does the Federal
Reserve board say that you have to
make a 259e cash down payment on
an installment purchase Of a wash

Observations

| have, long since, recognized
the Omnipotence Who is operat-
ing the Universe, and that all
that He does is good. We, who
are His instruments, can have
no power at all except it be gi-
ven from above and now have
issues to settle for Him, to the
end that His Will be done on
earth, and that we ultimately
subdue the earth, physically.
mentally and spiritually. The
issue of which I am thinking at
this time is the flagrant mis-
carriage of justice which de-
prived Laurence Banks of the
position to which t h people
elected him and out of which he
was cheated by dishonest per
sons. The law of man has agreed
that Banks was elected; but the
law of man has provided so
many means Of protecting clt:-
zens that a dishonest person can
use the same means for stalling
and perpetuating misdeeds. l

the shame. Without going into

ton, / wish to ask all the readers
of my column to do me a per-
sonal favor by signing the no

mediately. Monday, the 30th is
the day he starts counting his
signatures, and you would be
very sorry to have him fall short.

Social S e curity benefits IN
MEDIATELY. In the state of
Massachusetts, an eligible per-
son can collect both Unemploy-
ment compensation ard Sc".al
Security benefits at the S a m e
time The refore, everyone %
or older who files for Unemploy-
ment should file at the same
time for their Social Security
in order to avoid possible loss
of money.
Q-I was making more money
than a friend with whom was
working and yet his Social Sc
curity payments are more than
mine. Will you please explain
how this can be?
A-Social Security Retirement
benefits are based on the AVER
AGE MONTHLY WAGE between
Jan. l, 1887 (when the Social Sc
curity program became effective)
and the time of entitlement at
age 65 or retirement after age 65.
The higher the total wages with
in this period, the higher the
benefit paid. One who works
INTERMITTENTLY at high
wage rate may end up with a
considerably lower AVERAGE
than one who has worked
STEADILY at a much lower
wage rate. In the case you cite
your friend has higher average
than you, in leveling your wages
back to 1887.
Q-What kinds of self-employ-
ment income are covered by the
new Social Security law?
Ain general, the net earnings
from most kinds of trades, crafts,
or businesses in which the owner
or partner works for himself" "
The sole owner or partner oper-
ating a store, shop, garage, lunch
room, etc, the independent con-
tractor, the artist and the writer
may build up Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance protection un-
der this new part Of the law.
NOT included for Social Sc
curity purposes is income from

metrist, or full-time practicing
accountant; Christian Science

Here's how it goes:
Lie on your back on the floor.
Bend your right knee up toward
your chest so your foot leaves the
floor. Clasp both hands lightly
around the raised knee but do not
pull on it.
Now press the small of your back
hard against the floor. Also press
your neck downward toward the
floor. (You will not be able to
make it touch.) AS you press your
back and neck downward, stretch
your whole body. Give a particu-
larly good stretching to the back,
of your neck. Don't worry if you
suddenly find you've double chin!
1t will disappear instantly; it
merely indicates you are doing
the exercise properly
Hold the entire position as you
slowly slide your left foot up and
down along the floor as far as you
can in both directions. Five slow
slides is enough.
Relax completely for a moment.
Then. repeat with the opposite
knee bent. Begin by performing
the exercise six times. always
alternating from right to left
knee. Increase gradually until you
can perform the routine twenty
times each day without firing.
But no quibbling now! If your
figure requires corrective measures,
you can only consider this a warm
