S. S. Applicants Have
Practically Doubled

The recent change in the form
ula for figuring Old-age and sur
vivOrs insurance benefits sent the
volume of new claims skyrocke ing
during the last quarter in the Del
aware Office of the Social Security
Administrator.
MyrOn MilbOuer, manager of the
Office, said that the number OF new
applicants was almost double the
normal figure for the period. Many
Of these claims had been delayed
until July 1 because by waiting un-
til then, many retired workers
could get benefits based on their
average monthly earnings after
1850. At least IL years Of covered
work after 1850 is necessary in or
der to have a benefit payment fig
ured under the new formula. In
most cases, this results in a larger
benefit payment, the local manager
said.
Beginning with the month of
September, all benefit rates were
automatically increased. This in
crease was applied to all benefici-
aries on the rolls, as we'll as to the
new claims just received.
Among other changes in the law
which affect a substantial number
of Delaware residents, MilbOuer
said, was one whereby a self-em-
ployed person who is eligible for
retirement payments can start col
lecting benefits for 1852 instead Of
having to wait until January 1858.

Small Fruit Growing
Profits From Research

Small fruit growing in the United
States has profited from state and
federal research in the form of 100
new small fruit varieties.
About that number Of small fruit
varieties, from experiment station
breeding plots, that are CONNER
ciaIly important. Examples are the
Temple strawberry, bred for resis-
tance to red stele root disease; the
Cardinal grape, bred for an early
shipping table grape; and the Bur-
gaw, developed for a perfect-flow-
cred muscadine grape ito get high
er yields).
The experiment stations have
been able to perfect these hundred
varieties hl the last few decades
because OF mass breeding and
growing tecbniques have enabled
research plant breeders to keep
the going the year around.

New Homes Will
Be Somewhat Larger

New homes built during the next
year will be somewhat larger in
area than those put on the mar
ket in recent months, H. R. North
rup, executive vice president Of
the National Retail Lumber Deal
ers Association, stated Saturday.
"The increased size will come
about both because many families
who purchased small homes in re-
cent years now need more space to
take care of additional children
and because of the growing reali-
zation that extra floor space can
be obtained in any new home with
out a prOportionate increase in the
total COST" Mr.. Northrup said.
THE trend will be toward a
larger proportion of three bedroom
homes and larger bedrooms, dining
rooms and kitchens in most low
cost houses"
'In most instances the floor
space in smaller homes can be in
creased 121a percent without add
ing more than about 5 percent to
the cost of the dwelling. The extra
space, which can be paid for over
the life of the mortgage for a few
dollars a month, adds greatly to
the comfort and convenience of the
home"
Adding 121a percent or 96
square feet to the floor area of a
Cne-stOry house measuring 24x32
feet means that every room can be
heightened or widened by one or
two feet, enough. to bring a cOnsid-
eTaEle improvement in Inability
and eliminate feeling of crowd
ing.

G. M. Welch Speaks At
Dover Rotary Club

A practical application of how to
establish and maintain satisfac-
tory labor relations between en-
ployer and employees was explain
ed in most interesting and in
structive manner by Clarence NJ.
Welch, member of the Milford RO-
tary Club, who addressed the Dover
Rotary Club dinner-meeting on
Tuesday evening in the Dinner Bell
Inn.
In presenting the subject, Mr..
Welch pointed out that the first
step in the establishment of labor
relations is to analyze the prob
lens as they affect both the en-
plOyer and the employees, and then
endeavOr to determine the solution
to the satisfaction of all concern
ed, A word of caution was injected
into the address to the effect that
the employer should never become
so engrOssed with management de-
tails as to overlook personal atten-
tiOn to the employees, and to give.
due recognition of appreciation for
outstanding accomplishments, ex-
ceptiOnal interest in their work and
loyalty to the company or business
in which they are employed
Mr.. Welch also emphasized the
importance of employer employee
meetings for the purpose of Great
ing and fostering good will between
management and labor along with
giving workers the opportunity to
express their suggestions for i'm
prOvement of the business or in
dustry, and to bring into the open
for discussion any grievances which
they may have relative to working
conditions, wages, or personal
problems relating either individu-
ally or collectively to the best in
terests of the organization. The
prOtit-sharing plan and the pension
system for employees were also
discussed as contributing factors
toward stimulating and maintain
ing. interest in the organization, as
we'll as providing security with a
token of appreciation for efficient
work and creditable achievement.
In conclusion Mr.. Welch stated
that honesty, sincerity and an un-
derstanding attitude toward en-
ployees constitute good insurance
for better labor and management
relations as they embody the prin-
ciples of Rotary and can be ap-
piled in. every day life by each in
dividual in the business and pro-
fessional world.
In the absence of President Row
land d. Herdman the meeting was
presided over by Robert c. Stew
art, vice president, and the guest
speaker was introduced by George
r. Miller, chairman of the program
committee.
Visiting ROtarians were Edward
Kelly of the Camden-WyOmiHg Club
and NJ. A. Glasmire of the Milford
Club. Other visitors included Geo.
w. Mcneil and Basil Burke, guests
of Gordon L. Willis; Bernard For
cey, guest of ]. Paul Slaybaugh,
and William S. Price, guest of Nor
man L. Ward. John S. Charlton led
the club singing, assisted by Mrs.
George D. Tebo at the piano.

Falling Slab Hurts
Former Lincoln Man

Charles Timewell, about 80, of
West OneoHta, N. j., suffered three
crushed yertebrae, when a con-
crete slab broke loose and tOppled
on him as he was enlarging the
cellar of his home.
Attending physicians said he
was paralyzed from the waist
down, and three lumbar vertebrae
crushed, also a broken leg.
Mrs. Timewell summoned neigh
bors to help when the wall caved
in, and by the time the city am
bulance arrived at West OneOnta
number of volunteers had sue
ceeded in removing the slab, esti-
mated at a ton or more in weight,
beneanth which he was pinned. He
retained consciousness throughout
the trip to Fox Hospital.
Firemen said there was cOnsid-
erable difficulty in getting the in
jTed man up from the deep cell
lar. The task was complicated by
the danger of additional collapse
of adjacent slabs, imperilling the
men working to free him.
Charles attended Lincoln and
Milford ScAOOls. He is now hOspi-
tallzed at the Veterans Hospital in
Albany, N. Y, and would be glad
to hear from his old friends in
Delaware.

Social Security Keeps
Records Up To Date
Ieontlnued from nrst parsl

family situation may require an ad-
Justment, as when a widow re-
marries or a mother under IS no
longer has child in her care. Each
Of these situations must be reported
and our records noted to reflect the
change" Mr.. MilbOuer stated.
Changes in the records are also
necessary whenever a beneficiary
earns more than SIS a month in a
job covered by social security, or
self-emplOyed beneficiary has net
earnings averaging more than SIS
a month. Under the provisions Of
the Social Security law, benefit
payments will be suspended for as
long as the beneficiary continues in
such employment. When he stops,
however, another report must be
made so that his benefit checks may
be resumed.
The successful operation of this
vast social insurance program de-
pends in a large part on the active
cOODeration of beneficiaries and
their proper understanding of their
obligation under the program.
Without the prompt reporting of
these events. it would be almost i'm
possible to make changes CURRENTLY.
with more than 1900 benefici-
aries in Delaware receiving checks
each month it is gratifying to note. "
Mr.. MilbOuer said, that. in general
reports are promptly made when
ever they are required. This fact
embassies the spirit Of honestv
and responsibility that prevails in
our State"

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE
COMMUNITY CONCERT PLAN

The Community Concert Plan was insti-

given up as a hopeless cause The reason
The system for selling tickets at box-offce.
The public demanded the most famous stars
on the concert stage or they failed to show
up at the bOx-Office The fees OF these stars
made necessary a large auditorium and
large population to draw from. Only in ma
lOr cites could such a situation be met and
concerts for smaller communities became
impossible.
The Community Concert Association con-
ducts a One-week membership campaign dur
ing which those interested in music of all
kinds may join for the mutual benefit of ALL
This creates closed association and fund

is no profit and no loss. The local committee
selects the artists for the season and demo-
cratically represents the whole membership.
Thus both the desired "Stars" and the de-
sired music is obtained. Whether the pro-

O.D. Lessened Fatigue

At the beginning Of the present
century, the British Army learned
a great deal about the effect of color
on human beings. For one thing,
they found that-on long marches
regiments in red uniforms became
fatigued more quickly than those in
grey or green. A line of brightly uni
formed men tired the eyes of those
walking behind. Moreover. they ap-
peared too conspicuously against the
landscape.
Milford chronicle., 1952-09-26
BURNING THE ISSUE

A number of highly placed government
officials have been fOrecasting that prices
may soon start soaring again. This, they
say, is the fault of Congress, which heavily
cut OPS operating budget and made some
changes in the price control laws in order to
limit OPS powers. And it is quite obvious
that these officials would like nothing more
than another dose of runaway inflatiOn-on
the theory that this would assure the indefi-
mite continuance of price controls and create
multitude of jobs and votes.
On the other hand, few top men take a
different view. Thus, Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer recently said that 'majOr price in
creaSeS are not indicated for the balance of
this year."
In any event-and regardless of whether
prices go up or down or stand still-all the
talk about price levels ObScures the real is
sue. That issue is simply this: Will we have
free, supply and demand economy-the
kind of economy that has given us living
standards unparalleled anywhere ese-Or
will we have a pOlitically-cOntrOlled economy
OF the kind that has brought waste and near
bankruptcy to nation after nation?
History has proven, with unvarying reg
ularity that when economic freedom disan-
pears, all the other freedoms are underrnin-
ed and they too eventually disappear. Ii gov
ernment can command the productive and
dlstributive resources of this country, it can
bend us all to it's will. It can make us the
subjects of the state, with no alternative
save to follow orders. This is the wav the
road is opened to dictatorship and tyranny.

CONSUMER NOW TOP MAN

For the first time since 1871, retail trade
as whole shows a relationship to the ma
tons overall economic activity comparable
to that prevailing before the last World War.
That is the gist of an analysis recently
made by the Institute of Life Insurance. The
analysis was based on Department of Com
merce statistics showing the relationship be-
tween the annual volume of retail store sales
and the gross national product from 1929 to
now.
The Institute said, "What these figures
tend to confirm is what has been becoming
apparent for some time-that the war
caused era of shortages has been replaced
by more normal type of demand in which
prices and consumer decisions when and
whether to buy are of primary Importance.
In essence, therefore, barring unfOre-
seen developments, the American economy
has reverted to it's traditional competitive
basis"
TOday'S consumer can see plenty of evil
dence of that fact with his own eyes. Dur
ing and for some time after the war a great
many commodities were in very short supply
and some were almost nOn-eXistent. 1t be-
came truism that anything was salable, no
matter how shOddy it might be- The cOnsum-
er had small choice when he went to market.
Today the situation is utterly different.
There is an abundance of practically all con-
sumner goods, and in some lines supply is
substantially greater than demand.
The result is that every merchant must
fight for his trade He must offer all poss-
ible inducements - better stocks, lower
prices, more attractive services, and so on.
The buyer again calls the tune.
