SEEKS ADULT
EDUCATION AID
State Board of Education
Asks Budget Commission to
Restore Program Funds
MUST MEET DEMANDS

The State Board of Education
has asked the Permanent Budget
Commission to restore funds for
adult education, teacher scholar
ships, and in-service training pro-
grams in the education budget.
DR.. George r. Miller, Jr., State
Superintendent, pointed out that,
while provisions to maintain the
greater portion of the program in
existence now have been approved
by the Permanent Budget Commits
sion, reconsideration must be given
the items deleted from the board
request by the Budget Commits
sion. IF education is to be kept
at the present high level of service
to the people of the State, this
could not be done by the mere in
clusion of these items as request
ed. In that case Delaware might
be said to be in the position OF
barely holding its own. We as cit
liens cannot afford merely tc
maintain our present program OF
education in the light of the exact
ing demands which are being made
by society upon our schools" DIR
Miller stated. Concerning adult
education, Mr.. Miller stated that,
cit is difficult to understand why
mo provision at all was made for
adult education from the State
level. Delaware has been known
for years because of its State pro-
gram in this particular area, and
through the services of this De-
partment we have been able. to
build up unique conference on
citizenship. Without any funds for
these services, the State of Della
ware will be doing nothing for the
many adult citizens who are now
in the State and the many hun
dreds who are expected in the near
future" In requesting the restor-

TO RECEIVE S. S. COVERAGE
5000 Expected To BE Insured WITT.
Filing of Tax Returns


Between January and March
Is, about five million business men
and women will place themselves
on record as being insured under
the Federal social security pro-
gram-some 1900 of them here in
delaware. This will be done in
connection with the filing of their
1852 income tax return, according
to Myron Milbouer, manager of
the Delaware social security Office
at 9th and King Streets. For the
second time since self-employed
people became covered by social
security, Mr.. Milbouer stated,
Schedule C of the income tax re-
turn will be used to report net
income from self-employment for
old-age and survivors insurance.
With the filing of the income tax
return for 1852, those who were
self-employed in 1851 and 1852 will
acquire insurance protection for
their families in the event of death.
Additional work will be needed to
qualify an individual for retire
ment benefits, however, unless he
was born before July 1, 1890. Since
future benefits are based on the
annual reports of self-employment
income, it is important that the
tax return be correct and complete.
1t should include the Individuals
name, social security number, a
clear description of the nature of
the business, and the amount of
net income derived. Rentals, stock
dividends interest on bonds, and
capital gains are generally not to
be included. If the self-employed
person is in one of the professions
excluded from social security

come from the profession is not

we're badly injured. One of the

. Guests Cannot Recover
Can the passengers, who we're all
friends of the driver and guests in
his car, recover damages from him?
The answer is "UO!". The state Of
Washington and many other states
have enacted what is known as the
"host-guest" law. This law pre-
vents liability of a driver to guest
passengers in his auto, even where
he is at fault, except where it can
be proved that the driver caused
the injuries Intentionally
The situation is entirely different

passenger, on railroad or bus.
