Mary may be lucky, after
all.
Had she won in Judge
Mics court it would have
been up to the federal govern
ment to appeal the decision to
the Supreme Court by way of
the u. S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in New Orleans.
If the government does not
want a showdown on this
matter of social security for
self-employed persons then
the chances are the decision
would have been appealed,
As it is now she is bound
to get a ruling of some kind
and that + what she wanted
in the first place.
OF course the worry a n d
anxiety and the expense of
the appeal will also be hers.

Farmers Urged
To Observe National
Farm Safety Week
Accidents Kill Forty
Form Residents Every
Day In Years

All Holmes farmers are urged
to join in actively observing
National Farm Safety Week. july
10 through 25, by NJ. S. Shaw
associate director IF the Missis-
sippi Agricultural Extension Ser
vice and chairman Of the State
Farm Safety Program.
while safety on the farm and
in the home is a job for everyone
every day of the year, Farm
Safety Week is a good time to
concentrate on looking for dan
gers and getting rid Of Them"
he said.
'Loss Of farm labor due to a
farm accident may mean the diff
ference between financial profit
or loss at the end of the year.
This is especially true with the
present high costs of production
and the outlook for lower net
income for farmers.
More than ever before, you
can't afford to have an accident
on your farm.
"Not only are many accidents
expensive, but the resulting hu-
man suffering and grief is some
thing we would spare ourselves
and our loved ones at any cost
And it often can be prevented"
he pointed out.
Farm to live, and live to
farm" is the theme of this years
National Farm Safety Week.
which is sponsored by the Ma
tional Safety Council and the U.
S. Department of Agriculture,
with the cooperation of many or
CARNATIONS. The Mississippi Ag-
ricultural Coordinating Council,
representing all agricultural a.
gencies, has pledge active sup
port to this safety effort.
Unless accident hazards are re-
moved. accidents will kill an ave-
rage Of 40 farm residents in the |
United States each day during
the year ahead, and a disabling
injury will strike some farm PEI
son every Is seconds, according
to the National Safety Council.
Fire damages or destroys four
farm buildings every hour OF
the day during an average year.
About as many fatal accidents
and injuries occur in and around
farm homes, as in doing farm
work.
"A farm safety inventory, pay
ing common sence attention to
dangers, and actually doing some
thing about removing dangers
when they are found, is recon-
mended for all farm families"
Mr.. Shaw stated.
A general check-up might in
clude answering the following
questions:
Is my farm machinery in good
running order? Are shields over
moving parts and othe. safety
devices being used? Do I always
operate tractors and other machi-
merry at safe speeds?
Is my farmyard safe for the
kids to be playing? Are there
holes that need filling, any brok-
en- fences, hidden stumps, or rub
bish piles?
Is my house in good repair?
Do we have any unsafe stairs or
ladders that might cause falls?
Are places where people walk
kept clear of objects that might
trip someone? Do we burn flam-
mable trash promptly, keep flam-
mable fuels outside the house
keep matches out of the reach
of small children. and otherwise
practice safetX with fire?
Does every member of my
family think safety and act safe
ty?

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES

We find it very difficult tc
understand how Judge Sidne,
Mize could rule against Mar,
Cain on the grounds he USED
that he thinks the Supreme
Court has already settled tht
question.
AS q matter of fact the law
dealing with social security or
self-employed persons had not
even been passed the last time
the United States Supreme
Court considered the question
Of social security--and the
constitutionalits of that Law
was the test of Mary's case
Judge Mize told Mary in g
letter: 1T is my judgment that
the Supreme Court of the
United States has foreclosec
this question and that your
only remedy will be to per
suade the court to override its
former decisions, or else per-
suade Congress that the law
is unwise."
Judge Mize further stated
that the lower courts of the
land are conclusivelv bound
by the decisions of the u. S.
Supreme Court.
With a Supreme Court tai
tornado to uphold legislation
wanted by any given admins
tration this country is in a
dangerous position.
This is exactly what we had
in the Roosevelt administra-
ton - a packed Supreme
Court, given to FDR by the
Grim Reaper when denied
him by Congress.
We still have FDR's Sup
RENE Court--men appointed
by him.
They are still passing on
legislation passed by Congress
under his domination
What chance do mere people
have?
Our only chance is to take
more interest in what is
happening in our Congress day
after day-and let our con-
gressmen hsas from NJ.
When most of us are too busy
or too lazy to keep up with
what our congressman are do
ing and they 60 on forever not
getting any complaints from
their people it is no wonder
that many of them take on
the mantle Of little tin gods
and think anything they may
choose to do is alright.
We have only ourselves to
blame if our elected represen-
tatives are not doing the job
we think they should do.
How many of us have ever
sat down and told our con-
gressmen what we really think
of them and some Of the WAYS
they vote on questions vitality
affecting the public interest
Most citizens are afraid tc
after all, some time we may
want him to do us a favor.
When the citizens of any
country, for any reason what
soever, put self-interest above
the interest of their country
then sooner or later that
country will be on the down
grade.
II everyone opposed to pay
ing social security spoke up
in this country all of the
social security laws would be
Immediately repealed. not just
the one on certain self-em-
ployed persons.

1t Runs Through
My Mind
Dry Chatter
By POLLY J. HANST


Neither foresters nor their
wives have any peace of mind in
weather like we have had this fall,
and they will likely remember this
one for a long, long time.
Town folks must appear SNUG
and secure to them and their rural
neighbors when our only neon
venience in this dry spell is to be
cautious about burning trash.
One farmer whose spring had
gone dry and was hauling water
for all his needs told me his
chickens used 40 gallons of water
day and a COW would drink as
much as fifty. | wanted to ask him
if the supply was reduced if that
meant the hens would lay stronger
eggs and if the COWS would give
condensed milk, but decided he
might not appreciate such glib
chatter, especially after he had
tugged d dozen or so milk cans
home filled with water.
Then | recalled a post card | had
received from a couple in Vermont
saying The farmers are hauling
water for their live stock. The city
folks are staying on later than
usual and still taking daily baths. u
So | guess those of us who have
little patch of lawn drying up
should feel humble and uncomplain-
ing when we see fireman, forester
and farmer working with all their
might and main against the dry
elements of nature.
