Warm in Washington

Meanwhile, summer heats on Tn the national capital. Good ind1car tion that the public's representa- tives are sweltering and longing for a cool breeze is the report that subcommittee of the House h. terior and Insular Affairs commit tee is planning an Alaska jaunt a round the first of September. Rep. Clair Engle of California is Chair man. The committee also includes Rep. A. l.. Miller of Nebraska, an M. D. Whether the latter will want to come up remains to be seen. Up in Fairbanks last week they started a movement to try and defeat pr. Miller for reelection in Nebraska because he had been critical of the Alaska mental health bill now be- fore the Congress. The good doctor said he wasn't worried too much about the Fairbanks vote in the Nebraska election. He'd probably read, too, where it was 93 in the Golden Heart of the North the other day. When it gets that hot in Fairbanks it breeds irrespOnsi- bility, as Dr. Miller probably diag- nosed.

A. You should write or telephone

the friends have misinterpreted the

Farm People Are Asking
by Myron Milbouer
District Manager of the Wilmington
Social Security Office

Today-and every day-more and
more farmers and farmhands and
people who earn a living in other
kinds of agricultural activity are
asking us whether they will get
social security credits for their
work.
In farming, just as in most other
kinds of work, earnings can count
toward old-age and survivors in
surance benefits only if you are
employed" or 'fself-empioyed.
By and large, most persons whose
living is derived from some kind
of agricultural work are now COW
cred by social security. They may
be covered as employed or self
employed people While it is fair
ly easy to tell whether person
engaged in commerce or industry,
or one of the covered professions,
works for himself or is a wage or
salary Garner, the arrangements
under which flaming is done are
often more complicated. For this
reason, / am going to devote this
series of brief articles to the sew
eral conditions which apply to
farm work in relation to social
security.
In the articles to follow, shall
discuss separately the various ar
rangements under which farming is
done Right now, however, | want
to make a general statement. You
are building toward old-age and
survivors insurance as self-em-
ployed farmer if you work a farm
as owner, lessee, or renter and have
net earnings of $400 or more a
year.
In my next article, I shall dis
cuss in detail the various farming
arrangements under which a per-
son gets social security credits as
self-employed farmer.

Mrs. Anderson keeps the atmos-

She believes her reading center
is unique in being limited to a
small community, although it offers
the same facilities on a small scale
as the psycho-educational reading
center at Western Michigan Col
lege.
Mrs. Anderson has achieved her
best results with children below
the sixth-grade age group. Now
she plans to offer reading classes
for high school and adult students

Mr.. Pappas said: ION our way
back from a vacation in Florida
three years ago, my wife and

at the hospital when all / had to
say was, I'm a Blue Cross mem
ber', and the hospital took over
from there.
"You couldn't beat the care we
had when we were in that accident
in South Carolina. After twelve
DAYS nv wife was discharged from
the hospital but Patricia had to
stay a whole month-and yet our
hospital bill of s53S.30 cost me
only $4,000"
We've had a Blue Cross group
here at our restaurant for eight
years and we're very well enrolled.
There are a lot of people who wish
thy did have Blue Cross. They wait
until something happens and then
wish they'd thought to take it. AS
for me. I'll never be without it,"
Mr.. Pappas owns and operates
