than $4,000 per year will pay up
to s12 more per year social secur-
ity tax contribution. Their en-
ployers viii match this increased
tax contribution. The maximum
tax contributions for an employee
will thereby be increased from s72
to SS4 per year. A self-employed
person with net earnings more
than $4,000 per year will pay up
to $18 more per year social secur-
ity tax. The maximum tax con-
tribution for a self-employed per-
son will be increased from S108
to $126 per year.
What does this mean to the
worker, paying this increased con-
tribution? Milbouer explained
that it means increased protection
to him and to his family. A
worker at age 65 who can qualify
for benefits based on average
monthly earnings of $3.50 which is
$4,000 per year, instead of $500 a
month or $4,000 a year, will re-
ceive $40 a month more in benefit
payments. This worker and his

I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY Eloins Townsend Dicksrsor

caught them at our former house
and told them of our sudden move,
too.
Friday morning my Michigan
neighbor had coffee in honor of
her mother and mine so this filled
two hours of the morning hours.
In the afternoon we went to a coke
sherry party at the club and that
evening the Shirleys, Gene and
Fred, came to visit with mother.
Mother is so impressed by how
closely knitted we all seem. Every
one helping us move, five men help
ing Hayes move the television aeri-
al, girls dropping in any hour of
the day just to visit, groceries be-
ing borrowed back and forth. |
have told you so often that we who
are away from our families depend
on our Air Force Friends so much
and nothing seems too much for
them to do for others. 1t has been
nice for mother to see for herself
just how wonderful our friends
really are. She says she will feel
better about her "little baby-me-
being way out here i'm Kansas"
from now on.
Saturday we went TO Kansas City
and shopped and had lunch in
Macey's Tea Room and later drove
out to Independence to have a
glance at Harry's home. Sunday we
went TO the base chapel for the
eleven O'Clock service and return
ed home to pack Hayes bags for
| his long trip over the Atlantic. The
planes are being loaded early this
week and his clothes must be ready
| to be put on board, too. A really
| special item to go on board is a
brand new scooter that Hayes
bought last weekend. The buildings
on the base in North Africa are
scattered over large area and they
were advised to buy some sort of
transportation. Hayes already owns
an English bike, but not knowing
if the roads would be just dirt sur
face or not, the wheel seemed in
sufficient. / have loved riding the
Sears scooter these last few days
and plan to shop with it when my
hubby returns to us in August.
Tomorrow night 9 of us are in.
vited out to a Mexican dinner. Poor
mother doesn't know just how she
will weather the highly seasoned
food, but our hostess has promised
there will be American food in the
refrigerator just for her if she so
desires.
Next week we will again be on
Sussex soil and then / will relate
stories to you of Hayes new sur
roundings in far off Africa. We fe-
males left behind feel we do not
have to worry about our Air Force
husband and the fatimas in North
Africa. 1t seems their custom in
their native land is to use EAR
WAX on their lips to keep them
soft and pliable. We have just
LOVED this story and have leased
the fellows numerically about it.
Always,

WHO'S 4 SuCKER2

Under the caustic title, 1.-THE Sucker in
the Super Market" a farm publication says
some unkind things about consumers and
particularly "the gal who spends the fam
ilys food bucks. Chances are, when the
poor little sucker is pushing the rubber tired
cart down the aisles of self-service mark
citing center, she's buying glitter and color
instead of soup and SOAP"
The editorial concludes: Someone ought
to remind our little pet of the cracker barrel
days when food was delivered to grandma's
kitchen door in paper sacks. When the kids
got free sack of candy the first of every
month when ma sent them to the store with
twenty bucks to pay the monthly grocery bill.
Them were the days-the days when farm
ers got lot more than 43 cents from the
consumers dollar"
They were also the days when "the little
pets" spent all of their waking hours manu-
featuring soap and clothes, and preparing
food to keep the family alive, just as the
farmer worked from dawn to dark to exc an
existence out of the soil. The farmers per-
coinage of the consumer dollar may have
changed So have the living standards of all
the people, including farmers, a change that
was brought about in part by millions of
little pets" welding their might as con-
sumers in a free market. Thanks to the
"frivolities" of mass distribution, it takes
the average worker much less time to cal n
enough money to buy almost anything sold
at retail than it did 25 years ago. True, we
spend little more for our food now than we
used to-25 per cent of our disposable fam
lily income went for food in 1854 as COM
pared with % per cent in 1859, but we
get more food and better food. Who wants
to turn the family kitchen back into sweat
shop or turn the clock back on our farms
to the good old days of man-killing manual
labor?
