How Social Security Covers
Farmers" a booklet recently is
sued by the Social Security Ad-
ministration, explains in easy-to
understand language the rights
and obligations of farm people
under the social security law, ac-
cording to Robert B. Youmans,
manager of the GAINESVILLE social
security office.
The booklet IS intended to
help a farmer determine whether
he is employed, especially in re-
lation to the farming of land
leased on a cash rental or share
of the crop basis. A section of
the publication is devoted to in
come reporting requirements for
self-employed farmers. This in
formation is timely, as the re-
porting of self-employment farm
income and the paying of the
social security tax will be a part
of the Federal income tax return
for 1855 which is due April l5
of the coming year.
Anyone can get a free copy OF
the booklet at the GAINESVILLE
Social Security office at 505
South Street, GAINESVILLE, Ohio.

KNOW YOUR
ELECTION LAWS

Ohio's election laws are, for
the most part, modern andsOhio's
election system stands the test
of comparison with other states
very well. 1t is based on the
pure two-party system, with
both parties sharing the respon-
sibility and work.
The law provides for Board
of Elections in each of the 88
counties. This board is made up
of four persons - two Republi-
cans and two Democrats. They
then employ the clerk, deputy
clerk, and other employees of
the office. The county board of
elections has charge of all regis
tration records, the printing of
ballots, the employing of pre-
cinct workers on election day,
and all other details necessary
for the huge task.
The precinct workers are
again representatives of both
political parties and the law re-
quireS there be in each polling
place, an equal number of work
ers from each party. The county
board of elections instructs the
precinct workers in the proper
functioning of their polling
place, how the ballots are distri-
buted, cast and accounted for
and the provisions of law gov
erning voting.
Working at the polls on elec.
ton day is one of the duties OF
citizenship, and should be &C,
cepted with the same respon'
sibility as jury duty. 1t is thell
province to insure that every
qualified voter in Ohio who pre-,
sents himself to vote is giver
the proper ballots and that the
votes are accurately counted.

per cent since 1887. With corr

Farm Bureau. an afiiliate Of the

insist that unless farm income Is
bolstered and the squeeze eased,
the breaking point Is bound TO
come.
The Farm Bureau, casting
around fore remedies, Is coming
up with its own version Of the
"soil fertility bank" principle.
This has been kicking around in
farm circles for some time with
out much encouragement from
Agriculture Secretary Ezra Ben

have decided to put 1t across II

farmers and. more Importantly,
to Congress.

Farm Bureau, the Ohio plan

The shank would end the

which farmers customarily shift

You can get up a pretty good argument on both sides as to whether j, is wise to end one unsuccessful international con- ference by annoucing plans. for another.
 The factors involved are both tangible and intangible. Not all are directly involved with the major question, which is the tug-of-war for Germany.
 The chief intangible factor is that scheduling another four power meeting now tends to continue the situation which began when the summit meas- ing was planned, in which un- founded hopes for east-West settlements interfered with prosecution of the western de- fense program.
 Russia's clear demonstration khis time that she pursues a strictly heads l win, tails you lose" policy should put damp CT on this tendency. Neverthe- less, the tendescy to mark time pending scheduled negotiations is always there, and is especial ly no. d.iceable in connection with such things as West Ger man rearmanent.
 The other side of this coin is that during the latest negotia- ton period Red China has also been marking time in her pol a.ical approach, if not in her military preparations, on theI Formosa question.
 The allies may hope, by sch eduling a new conference, to delay Russia's direct approach to West Germany on the reun- iiication issue.
 Russia began setting up mach inery for this approach before the summit conference, intend ing to go ahead with it after inc conferences which she knew would fail. Btu. the reasons why she should not violate the truce" created by continuing negoI iIations, and why she can not refuse to enter them, seem almost as cogent as for the all lies.
 Both sides at Geneva have made many moves designed pri to influence nations which are not yet definitely committed in the cold war. An appearance of sincerity in try ing for settlements is import ] ant in this contest.
 There is not the slightest :, reason lto believe, however, ! that another conference next i spring will bring the contest i ants any closer to agreement.
 The final conmunique We'd i nesday will Joe optimistic. It will stress things that the two
