Earning Schedule
Listed For S. S.

Persons receiving old-age and
survivors insurance benefits can
now earn as much as S75 a month.
without losing their benefits, ac-
cOrding to Myron MilbOuer, man
ager of the Delaware office of the
Social Security Administration
The amount of wages a person
getting benefits is permitted to
earn in a month without losing his
payment was raised from $50 to
SIS, beginning with the month of
September. In case a beneficiary
is self-employed, he can accept his
benefit checks if his net earnings
from self-employment do not aver
age more than SIS a month, that is,
more than 5000 for his taxable year.
Benefciaries who work in employ
ment not covered by the Social Sc
Curity Act, And those who have
reached the age of IS, may cash
their checks regardless of how
much they earn.
Mr.. Milbouer pointed out that
this work clause" applies not only
to the retired worker, but also to a
wife, widow, child, or parent who
is receiving benefits based on the
social security account of a retir-
ed or deceased worker. Any bene-
ficiary who is working for wages
should notify the Social Security
Administration promptly if he earns
over SIS in one month. a self-em-
ployed beneficiary should notify the
Administration as soon as he sees
that his net earnings are likely to
average more than SIS a month for
the taxable year.

AbOrvitae Stunting
By Aphids Controlled
By ChlOrdane

The University of Delaware
points to an aphid as the cause of
stunting and dying of Chinese ar
bOrvitae in Delaware nurseries.
Losses in some of the large
paintings have amounted to as
much rs 80 percent" according to
Dale F. Bray, of the entomology de-
partment. "Bray's investigations
show that aphids are present on
the roots of all affected plants.
They live on the roots all year,
but some forms appear on plant
tops in spring and fail. The suck
ing of these insects causes stunt
ing and eventually death in the
case of severe infestatiOn"
The roots turn an abnormal dark
brown color and their tips repeat
edly die back, says Bray.
Control for this aph1d has been
worked out by the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. Bray recon-
mends ehlOrdane for controlling or
preventing root infestations. Pre-
vention results from disking chlor-
dane into the soil before planting,
at a rate Of five pounds per acre.
To control aphids on the roots. in
ject a spray Of chlOrdane into the
soil about the roots. Aphids on top
Of plants can be controlled by a
lOrcible spray Of Is percent para
thiOn, or benzene hexachloride
(BHC) (6&o g2mma) at rates Of
two to four pounds, respectively,
per 100 gallons of water
Bray Identifies this aphid as
Cinara winOnkae Hotties; however,
it may prove to be Cinara tujafi-
lima.

Mysterious Brown Spots
In Clothes Traced
To Metals

The mystery of brown spots and
holes that appear in cotton wash
dresses when ironed has been sOlv-
ed by a textile chemist of the U, S.
Department of Agriculture.
Or. Verda McLendon traced the
trouble to electrOlOsis of two diff
ferent metals in zippers, or to any
situation where wet garments are
in contact with two dissimilar met
ais before they are irOned. Women
who had reported the brown spots
had suspected everything from new
washing equipment to insects.
The electrolysis takes place while
the dress is damp, and rolled up
for ironing. The process gives oft
enough acid to damage the threads
Then when hot iron hits the fab
ric, damage shows up in brown
spots and holes.
In addition to the dampness,
though, the fabric must contain
some substance that will conduct
the electricity from the process.
Minerals from hard water, salt in
liquid starch, or even detergents
that are not removed from rinsing
will serve as a carrying agent. The
damage was produced after half an
hour of contact with an aluminium
and copper Upper
To protect wash dresses with
twO-metal zippers, the Department
of Agriculture suggests: (D Avoid
/ sprinkling and rolling up for iron
ing as much as possible. Iron the
/ dress as soon as it is dry enough
] after washing e. If the fabric must
be dampened for ironing, leave the
material around the zipper dry.

ington family heads to be financially
prepared for Goth century illness which
spurred E. J. Henryson, then health
secretary of the Council of Social Agen-
cies, to start work on a prepaid hos
pitalization plan.
He interested Joseph H. Hines, then
president of Columbia Hospital A COM
mittee was formed, the plan approved
by civic groups and initial capital was
lent by the Community Chest.
First subscriber was Miss Gertrude
H. Bowling, who retired in April, 1851,
as executive director of the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society. Miss Bowling,
who lives at 1912 K street NV, still
holds contract No. 1.
Since she enrolled, she has paid in
more than $200-and never had a day
of disqualification. The fee originally
was rs cents month, now it is $17O.
The IVNS was the first employe group
to enter the plan.
BY the end of 1884 there were 2,876
subscribers A year later, II, 468 persons
were in the plan. The figure doubled
the following year. Gone were the days
when the staff would go several weeks
without pay, as happened the first year.
In 1851 CHI took in $6.1 million in
premiums from subscribers. AS of
March 81, 1852, it had $5.4 million in
incurred claim expense. All claims
from hospitals for the year have not
yet been received.
When a subscriber enters hospital
today he fills out CHI form, which
is quickly processed and sent to CHI

TT WAS A bitter-cold day in March,
l. 1884, when new organization which
was to have beneficial effect on the
lives Of many Washington area resi-
dents set up shop in tiny Office on
Vermont avenue.
While two truck drivers placed the
"omce equipment"-two secondhand
desks and four old chairs-the sponsors
of the new organization had cause to

wanted the type of prepaid hospital

The Washington plan-one of the
earliest in the Nation-was based on a
prepaid disqualification program de-
veloped by group Of school teachers
in Dallas, Tex, in 1929. There, $500
teachers worked out "full-coverage"
contract with local hospital at cost
Of $3.50 a year.
A program in which all community
hospitals participated was established
in 1882 in Sacramento, Calf. Similar
plans were set up year later in cities
in New Jersey, Minnesota, West Virginia
and North Carolina. Prepaid hospital
ization was beginning to catch on.

zia Permit
Request Is
Withdrawn

A sudden end has come to the
storm aroused over the application
of the Zia Teresa Restaurant &
Pizzeria Co. Inc, for a D-2 license
for their place of business at 1861
SO Hayden ave. The application
has been withdrawn. A D-2 license
permits the sale of beer and wine
with meals served on the premises.
Notice of the withdrawal came
in letter from the company's at
torney, Edward NJ. Koppelman,
addressed to the Zoning Board of
Appeals of East Cleveland. Mr..
Koppelman is attorney for Frank
and Theresa Vitelli, operators of

address.
The application stirred up the
strongest opposition to a liquor
permit application experienced in
the history of the city. In addition
to a Commission Chamber well
filled with neighbors, a petition
bearing 18O signatures, was filed
in protest.
Objections were many and var
led and the Board of Zoning Ap-
peals delayed action until such
time as Mr.. Koppelman could be
present. The withdrawal now re-
moves the application from the
boards agenda.
When asked what The Zia Tere-
sa company planned to do, their
attorney held his reply to the mere
fact of the withdrawal of the per-
NIT. No answer was given as to
any future plans.
A public hearing is being heard
by the Zoning Board of Appeals
at 900 a. m. Friday, April 18th
in City Hall to consider another
D-2 permit request. This one is
from the Euclid-Lee Spaghetti
House, 14701 Euclid ave.
