BUS DRIVER TURNS OWNER

MONROE, Mich. - (P) - A bus
driver whose company quit busi-
ness is the new owner of MOnrOe's
city lines. And his first step was
to reduce fares. Robert Absalom.
30, driver since 1916, purchased
Monroe City Lines, Inc, when the
company quit operating because
profits weren't sufficient ito make
1t worthwhile" Unnamed hackers
helped him finance it.
Cutting adult straight fare from
20 to Is cents or two tokens for a
quarter, AbsalOm explained:
Every time the fare has been
raised, we've lost riders. We were
especially hurt by loss of short
run riders. 1t just makes sense
to me that if you raise fares and
lose riders, you can cut fares and
gain riders. I think we can get
enough of them back to make the
system worthwhile. Certainly the
community needs it,"
Just because he's now the owner.
Absalom isn't throwing away his
drivers cap: Il won't be able to
be a regular driver, but I'll fill in
every chance l get when someone
is sick or we need an extra man
during rush periods"

Spring Cleanup
Makes Farms Safer

Next time you stroll in your
yard to see what's coming up,
make it a picking up" stroll, too,
suggests George Vapaa, county
agent
While you are getting ready to
plant the garden, take time to
clean up the debris that has ac-
cumulated-br broken glass, rusty
cans, boards with nails, and other
junk. Also be sure that insecticides
are stored in safe place.
Many people do not realize that
these hazards along with tools,
bags of feed and buckets out of
place plus just common debris are
responsible for hOspitalizing one
out of five accident victims. This
was shown by a study conducted
by the National Safety Council.
They also found that the largest
single cause of injuries, other than
the personal factor of poor judg-
ment, is disorder.
A well-maintained farm doesn't
just happen, the agent stresses. 1t
takes hard work, careful planning
and cooperation of all the persons
who call it home. Even where there
is a place for everything and
everything is always kept in place,
thorough spring cleanup is
needed.
Such a program will pay divi-
dends in several ways. If you do
ship-shape job you can lessen
the fire hazards, cut down your
chance of accidents and promote
the well-being of farming in gen
eral. A little paint, a lot of elbow
grease, and a careful check of all
danger spots aid up to a family
that will be in shape to participate
IN the rural Easter Parade.

Social Security News

The Wilmington Office of the So
cial Security Administration makes
hundreds of changes in its records
each month, in order to keep old
age and survivors insurance checks
in the right amount flowing regu-
larly to Delaware beneficiaries.
"The changes in these records
are necessary for a number of
reasons" MyrOn Milbouer. manag-
er of the office located at 813 West
Street, Wilmington, said today.
'Beneficiaries who move must re-
port their new addresses, so that
future checks will reach them at
the new locations without delay.
Again, when beneficiaries die, a
record must be made to terminate
their benefits. Also, a change in
the family situation may require
an adjustment, as when a widow
remaries or a mother under 65 no
longer has a minor child in her
care. Each of these situations must
be reported and our records noted
TO reflect the change" Mr.. Mil
bOuer stated.
Changes in the ree9rds are also
necessary whenever a beneficiary
earns more than SIS a month in a
job covered by social security. OF
self-employed beneficiary has
net earnings averaging more than
SIS a month. Under the provisions
of the Social Security Law, bene-
fit payments will be suspended for
as long as the beneficiary con
tinues in such employment. When
he stops, however, another repor-
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
cooperation of beneficiaries and
their proper understanding of theil
obligations under the program
Without the prompt reporting OF
these events, it would be almost
impossible to make changes cur.

Sen. FreGr Speaks In
Behalf Of Cancer
Control Campaign
CONTINUED from first narel

CONTINUED fran first page)
We can make it possible to keep
the one-thOusand scientists now
working in one hundred and forty
laboratories, hOspitais, and univer-
stiles throughout the nation at
work seeking possible new cures
for cancer, and possible means of
preventing it. Only in this way
only through scientific research
can we win freedom from cancer.
In the last ten years great progress
has been made-the cancer death
rate among women has dropped
1876 per cent in that time.
These thousands of lives saved
each year; the promise of saving
many more is reason enough to
support the Cancer Crusade here
in Delaware. One-third of the peO-
pie who died last year in Delaware
could have been saved had proper
treatment begun earlier. We must
make it possible for all the people
to know the facts. The Delaware
Division of the American Cancer
Society needs the support of all of
us to push forward with vigOr this
vast educational effort. Support of
the American Cancer Society today
can save lives tomorrow.
The Society has asked the people
of our State to contribute this year
$75-thOusand to support it's cancer
control program. The Society needs
from the whole nation a total of
$25-milliOn to carry on its national
research, education and service
program.
It isn't too much to ask. Cancer
strikes one in five. 1t strikes in all
walks of life. 1t is the cause of un-
told suffering and loss.
know you all want to helm de-
feat this enemy of humanity; bring
nearer the day-the bright new
spring when we will have freedom
from cancer. That is the April of
the year to which we all look for

GUS contribution today to the Del
aware Division, American Cancer
Society, so that there will be no
