One of the joys of town picnic
is meeting former neighbors, and
acquaintances one does not see as
often as one would wish. Many
folks return to the city for the big

Another picnic pleasure is eating

I III AT
IN East Cleveland

In our travels about town we are
surprised to note the bumper crops
of weeds growing where there
should be lawns and, believe
it or not, too many OF such un-
slightly places are to be found on
business properties.
There are two reasons why this
condition should be improved. First,
it gives the city an unsightly ap-
pearance. Second, it invites rag
weed to disturb hay fever sufferers
who will soon be in the throes OF
another seige of this annoying and
oftime painful disturbance.
Letters are being received from
our readers, pointing out certain
places. Let's clean them up, Mr..
Landlord.
There oughter be a law about
trees. Everytime one is cut down,
another should be planted some
where. Just notice long lines OF
beautiful old trees with here and
there one missing and nothing
planted in that place. Trees are
beautiful; valuable and sometime
in life everyone should experience
the deep joy of planting tree.
If you are motoring abroad this
summer time, please refrain from
littering highways or byways,
sidewalks or streets. We don't like
it when it happens to us. One city
official thinks most of our Euclid
ave. litter comes to town that way.
I'm not so sure.

about the atomic power that is
being harnessed in order to des.

start to think that this power could
be put to constructive instead of

for mere pittance when there
could be less work and more of
everything. In other words. they
begin to see where they have been

FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD
BY AuLD cLooTlE

The inhabitants Of the Planet
Earth are great believers In isms.
Consider, for example, the many
millions who are devout adherents
Iof Communism, Americanism, Fas.
Icism, etc. All Of these isms may
serve a purpose, there must be
somethin in each of them that sat
Iisfies 4 basic human need. II this
was not 50, these isms would
cease to exist.
Basically, an ism is an idea that
has caught the popular fancy. As
lie (the idea) attracts more and
more followers, it is embelIished
and ramified by other ideas that
flow in the same stream of thought
until il has become a ful-hedged
theology.
There Is an ism, however, that
has flouriShed since time immem-
Iorial without having captured q
single adherent. People seem to
| shy away from this ism because
they cant make any sense out of
II. And, in reality, the major at
tributes of this ism are based on
chat very premise-non-sensel Non
sense is the very essence Of this
Iideology, an essence that is fraught
with great possibilities.
Aud Clootie has the devilish In.
Itention of exploiting this ism. II is
his firm conviction that the proper
PRONUNCIATION of this ism may bring
about the salvation of billions of
damned souls. Aud Clootie, in
Other words, wants people to grasp
THE significance of nonsense and
to utilize il accordingly BY doing
this, they win become charter

THE PROSPECT FOR SOCIAL SECURITY

Recent statements by President Dwight D. Eisen-
hover and key Republican leaders in Congress indicate
chances heavily in favor Of extension of Social
1t proposed that DOCTORS lawyers farmers and many
be included hereafter
Other changes are also being proposed such as an
increase in the $25 minimum monthly benefit and liberal
zaon Of the restriction which limits those between 65
and years of age from receiving payments if they
as much as SIS monthly, more in employment cover
ed by the system.
There is good prospect that the controversy over
automatic Increase in Social Security will be holly
disputed in Congress The rate jumped automatically
from and half to two per wages up to $4,000
annually January 1st Some suggested that this in
be deferred and those in favor this included the
from Republican leaders on Capitol Ill., including
Chairman Daniel A. Reed (R-N. Y. of the House Ways
and Means Committee #A8
Those who would defer the increase pointed out that
in its sixteen years of operations the Government
collected alnRH $4,000 100000 Interest earned on
bonds has added than 900 to the Govern
ment fund.- The Government has paid out so far in bene
fits only about O00or about third of the
money collected.
Whatever the outcome of the coming discussions
it seems obvious that Social Security coverage will be
extended and payments increased by legislators of the
last session of the Eighty Congress There is no
doubt that the vast majority Of American workers favor
the Social Security program the present administra
ton can therefore expand and improve the system h
