WEAVER SAYS

The article below was written
by William 3. Weaver, manager
Social Security Administration, "a
S.W. First ST., Miami 80, Fla,
phone 9-s461. This Is one of a
series of articles appearing in
these columns weekly.
Are you under age ~ and re-
ceiving monthly benefits from the
Social Security Administration
and still working? Are you keep
ing accurate records of your gross
pay - not your take-home pay?
Do you expect your earnings
during this calendar year to ex-
coed $1,000?
If your answer is yes then I'd
suggest that you visit the Social
Security office at "a SW First st.
(phone 9-846l) and talk your
situation over. You may be all
right but you might be all wrong
and it doesn't pay to take a
chance. You might be in the fix
in which my old friend Joe
Doakes found himself.
Joe had earned only $500 from
January / this year through April.
He suddenly found a job that
paid him that much in a month.
He had caShed his monthly bene-
fit check of $62.76 each month
including January. This meant
that Joe in May, June and July
had earned 5000, making his earn
ingS for the year $1,000 through
July 81. The job could go on in
definitely and Joe didn't want to
quit neither did he want to
give up his monthly benefits.
What to do?
His health wasn't too good and
his wife, although liking the ex-
ira money, felt she'd rather have
him around under foot than sick.
She felt that the extra money
might be eaten up by Doctors and
hospital bills - and worry. They
finally gave up the idea of Joe
working any Logger this year and
decided to Init Joe's earnings to
the $1,000 he had already made.
The deciding factor, however, was
Joe's health. They found out after
checking with us that even
though Joe had continued work.
ing he wouldn't have increased
his yearly earnings very much.
For each $50 he earned over the
81 200 limit he would have had to
return one of his benefit checks
for $62.76. We think Joe was wise
to quit, don't YOU?

Prophet toning Bad
Business

When Jerusalem decided TO
stone the prophets instead of
hearkening to their words of wis
dom and warning, she was has
tening her own impending doom.
Telling people of their sins had
its dangers in ancient times, and
it has its dangers now.
II is true that today we have a
multiplicity of preachers seeking
I'd be Popular" with the masses;
but in the last analysis these pop
ularity- counting preachers dare
not tell Israel of his sins. In all
ages the prophets have been
stoned; and if Jesus Christ would
come in person to some of our
large cities, he would hardly be
found at some of our most pop
uIar churches, but perhaps in
some secluded sections where
some humble preacher is seeking
not to be popular" but to tell the
story of the wrath that sin brings
upon the people.
We see reenacted in the Old
South the tragedy of old which
IS the tragedy of prophet-stoning.
The Old South dieth hard indeed.
instead of searching itself and
kllrning from the ways that will
IN the end spell its doom, the Old
S0uth is quite content to stone

NAACP which are the best friends
the Old South has ever had. 1t is

Did South can be converted unto

christianity, it is quite conceiv-
able that it may become the

ItS great travail will be its great
means of ripening unto glory and
greatness.
One of the highest tributes that
could be paid to the NAACP is
being paid indirectly by certain
sectors of the Old South which
are out to penalize Negroes for
membership in the organization.
This column feared months ago
that an irate Old South would
seek retaliation. 1t has appeared
in the current attempt to penal
ize the Negro teachers for mem
bershp in the only organization
promising liberation from second
class citizenship.
To deny Negroes the privilege
of joining an organization to do
collectively what they could new
er do individually, is to refuse a
life line to a drowning man. I'm
der the tutelage Of the NAACP
the Negro in America has come
a long way. Through its fight,
Negroes have been emboldened
to look up not down, ahead not

CAUTION IN USING


Although insecticides are essen
tlal to modern farming, a word of
caution concerning their use on
vegetable crops is offered by re-
search workers of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Research has disclosed no par
tlcular problem when insecticides
are used strictly in accordance
with the manufacturers recon-
mendations. The trouble comes
when producers yield to the temp
tation to put on an extra amount
for good measure" or if they
use an insecticide on a crop for
which it is not recommended.
A number of state experiment
stations have carried on research
to learn the effects of over dosages
of insecticidal material on the tex
ture, flavor and aroma of food
products. For example, overdoses
of chlordane on potatoes has low
cred the quality of the crop and
using excessive amounts of DOT
or %chlordane has caused poor fla
vor in sweet corn and potatoes.
Since wide use of organic in
secticideS is new and experimental
results vary with weather and soil
conditions; it may take many
years to get reliable information
on all the materials now in use.
In the meantime, growers are
urged to use insecticides only
when they are needed and then
at the rates recommended
by the manufacturer.

Law Governs Rate
OF Aides Increase

To comprehend Factor I. we
must picture o civil servant called
A who finds himself overworked.
Whether this overwork is real
or imaginary is immaterial: but
we should observe, in passing, that
AS sensation Cor i1lusion) might
easily result from his own decreas-
ing enersy-a normal symptom Of
middle-age. For this real or
imagined overwork there are,
broadly speaking, three possible
remedies.
~ He may resign.
90 He may ask to halve the work
with . colleague called b.
% He may demand the assist
ance Of two subordinates, to be
called c and d.
There is probably no instance in
civil service history Of A choosing
any but the third alternative. BY
resignation he would lose his pen
sion rights. By having B appointed.
on his own level in the hierarchy,
he would merely bring in a rival
for promotion to WIS vacancy when
w lat long LAST retires. So A
would rather have c and D. junior
men, below him They viii add to
his consequence: and. by dividing
the work into two categories, as
between c and D, he will have the
merit of being the only man who
comprehends them both.
1t is essential to realize, at this
point, that c and D are, as it were,
inseparable. To appoint C alone
would be impossible Why? Be-
cause c. If by himself, would divide
the work with A and so assume al
most equal status which has been
refused in the first instance to B;
a status the more emphasized II
C is AS only possible successor.
Subordinates must thus number two
or more. each being kept in order
by fear of the others promotion.
When c complains in turn Of being
overworked Gas he certainly wild A
will, with the concurrence Of c, adj
wise the appointment of two assist
ants to help C. But he can then
avert internal friction only by adj
vising the appointment of two more
assistants to help D. whose position
10 much the same. With this recruit
nnent Of z. F. q. and H. the promo
ton Of A Is now practically certain.
