of low wages paid most American
law enforcement officers must
some day be corrected"

American cities, that "You are
in the first line of defense
against sabotage. against de-

against violent overthrow of our
Government"
However, Mr.. Brownell added
criminal leaders "are striking at
the roots of this Nation just as
surely as the Communists.
"Our homes, our purses, our
lives, our way of life might well
be at the utter mercy of this
hideous array of criminals, if it
were not for the untiring work
of the Nations law enforcement
officers" he said.
Vice President Nixon said that,
despite those who often criticize
police. the majority of the citi-
zens and legislators are behind
the law enforcement officers.

DRINK Thai INK

4 GAINESVILLE, Wis. fFl -
Galen Sayler, known hereabouts as
DIR. Ink" is the inventor of a
quick-drying permanent type ink.
1t has practically eliminated the
blotter.
It's not unusual for him to be
routed from his bed or have his
work interrupted by frantic tele-
phone calls IRON a mother wnuse
child drank a bottle of ink.
Sayler's answer is: Don't wor-
ry, give your child a glass of milk
and forget it; if you're really wor-
RED have the child's stomach
pumped"
He says: link would be a good
mouth wash if you didn't mind a
colOred tongue. The mold inhibitor
in it is a good antiseptic-its iron
content is more helpful than harm
full, and there's nothing else in ink
to do damage"
Sayler also receives frantic pleas
from women who have spilled ink
on a new dress and want to know.
Immediately, how to remove the
stun without harming the fabric.
That is Sayler's newest problem:
a permanent ink that is washable
an ink that remains forever on
paper but can be washed easily
from all other materials. He figures
that's enough to keep him busy for
quite a while.

/ ments may have their benefits re-
| figured to exclude that portion of
their periods of disability which
occurred before age IS. if they meet
the requirements given above. In
creases in benefits under the dis
ability provision become effective
after June 1885,
In conclusion, Mr.. Milbouer call
ed attention to a provision in the
amended law which affects sruviv-
ors of workers who died before
September /, 1850, without having
acquired enough covered employ
ment to become insured under the
old law. IF you are the surviv-
ing aged widow, child, widowed
mother with minor children. or
aged parent of a worker who died
between 1889 and September /
1850, and you were not eligible for
survivors benefits before" Mil
bOuer said "the new law may make
it possible for you to get pay
ments. If the deceased breadwin-
ner in your family had at least ~
years Of covered work between Jan
uary 1899 and September 1850 you
should come to the Wilmington so
cial security Office and inquire
about your survivors, insurance
benefit rights"
1T is especially significant" Mr.
MilbOuer said, that these 1854
amendments to the social security
law preserve the contributory and
I self-sustaining principles of the
Old-age and survivors insurance
system, as well as the principle that
benefits are related to the level of
the workers earnings.
"All benefit payments and costs
Of administering the program are
paid out of the special Trust Fund
into which go the social security
taxes paid by employees, employ
ers, and the self employed.
"The tax rate is now scheduled to
reach the maximum of per cent
each for employee and employer in
1875. 1t remains at the present 2
per cent each until 1860, with in
termediate steps between 1860 and
1875. Self-employed persons pay
at liz times the employee rate"

REPORT TO PARENTS
BY DF. Murihu "A. Eliot
Chief, childrsnls Bureau

A Florida juvenile court judge
really started something" when he
asked that an advisory committee
be appointed for his court.
The judge felt he needed some
representative citizens in Pinellas
County both to advise on court
problems, and to interpret to the
community what the court was
trying to do.
The committee was appointed
and, as they became familiar with
the court, they felt that the prob
lens represented there needed to
be faced on a county wide basis.
One member Of the committee
introduced a bill in the Florida
Legislature in 1945, asking for a
Juvenile Welfare Board, and both
the legislature and the citizens of
Pinellas County supported the
measure.
The Board began its work. in
1947 with an investigation Of the
needs of children in Pinellas Coun-
ty. It, found that the Juvenile
court needed more staff, especially
a woman case worker to work
with girls and a Negro case work
er to work with Negro children.
II found that the county needed
a foster home program for depen-
dent and neglected children.
1t found that the county needed
better detention quarters, so chill
dren wouldn't have to be kept in
jails.
It found that youngsters in the
public schools need a counseling
and guidance program.
Now, some years later, the
Juvenile Welfare Board has been
able to meet some of the needs
which its original membership saw
for Pinellas County.
There are a wide variety of fos-
ter homes in the county, providing
as nearly as possible a normal
home atmosphere for children
whose own homes have been brok-
en- up.
For the past 5 years, the Board
has supplied 2 or more trained
case-wOrkers to the juvenile courts
staff to increase efficiency and
service.
The Board subsidies 4 homes
for temporary shelter care of chill
dren, so that they need not be de-
tanned in Jail.
1t pays salaries of 2 workers in
a child guidance clinic, so that
disturbed children get better dag
nosis and treatment.
It has agreements with other
agencies in the county to fill gaps.
prevent duplication of services. and
determine what agencies are best
suited to take on which RESPONSE
bilities.
Pinellas County residents are
quite justly proud of the fact that
their county has been designated
as an example of good community
organization in the child welfare
field.
What the citizens of Pinellas
County did could be done in anv
community.
Certainly, community organiza-
ton, involving citizen support and
understanding of programs for
children, immeasurably strength
ems services to them.
