called free" because it's usually
not worth much. That little fellow
was typical of the kind of expert"
who can't resist getting in digs
about how you work, what you
wear, why you happen to prefer a
glass of beer with your supper.
People re that don't mean to be

real intolerance is paved with

Ex-German Soldat
Broke Into Jail
Avoiding Connie

FORT GORDON, Ga.-Private
George M. Pott, former German
infantryman and now an Ameri-
can Army signalman here, remem-
bers how he broke into Red pris-
on camp to escape the Iron Cur
tain.
That was in October, 1945, four
months after he had escaped the
same POW camp.
Weakened by malnutrition and
disease, he had been forced to hole
up with a friendly farmer close to
the Communist prison At night
the camp fences could be scaled
easily, and Pott more than once
met with buddies in the prison
hospital.
They told him that the Red
Cross was pushing for the return
to Germany of all seriously i'll
prisoners.
So hospital clerk smuggled
George back in and fixed the rec
ords SO he could assume the iden-
tity of a prisoner who had died
shortly before.
The gamble paid off. In a few
months Pott was returned to Ger

many as a Stretcher case. To make
it look good, he occasionally moan
ed
He was welcomed home by his
mother and half brother. But his
father, Bremen police chief until
the Nazis booted him out in 1897,
was later reported dead in a Rus
sian camp.
Potts experience as interpreter
in us. Military Government
courts in Germany and the efforts
of his half brother, Christian G..
Dencker of (2205 Ridge Ave.
Evanston, H., aided his entry into
this country.
What does this ex-German SOL
dier think of the American Army ?
Let George tell it.
Just before the war ended our
Field Marshal stood up in front
of what was left of our unit on
the Russian front. He told us Vic
tory is near if we fought on brave
~ behind his steady leadership. He
told us that-then flew off to Ba-
varia."
That" says George, could nev-
er happen in the American Army" +"
Know we not that he who exer-
cises the largest charity, and waits
on God, renews his strength, and
is exalted?

to a Share-farmer, but still take an
important part in the growing of
the crop or the management of the
production of the crop on that land
under an arrangement with the
renter, that's most likely material
participation" In that case, the
money you realize from the trans
action would not be rental income
but farm income. It would count
toward old-age and survivors in
surance protection for you and
your family.
If you have a definite arrange
ment with the user whereby you
regularly advise and consult with
him on the production of the crop
or livestock, regularly inspect the
operation, and have a hand in the
management, this would be a
strong indication that you mater
tally participate" Moreover, if in
addition you also furnish the rent
er with tools, livestock, and farm
equipment, or finance any of these,
this would be further evidence of
material participation" on your
part.
This change in the law will af-
ford protection under old-age and
survivors insurance to an estimat-
ed 100000 additional farmers. 1t is
effective beginning with taxable
years ending after 1855.

Alcoholism Said
To Be Major III
Health Problem

Alcoholism is one of the most
serious health problems in Amer
lea today. How serious is indicated
by the fact that perhaps as many
as five million Americans are "al-
coholics" - people whose drink
ing wrecks their health and inter-
feres with their ability to function
as productive members of the
community.
Alcoholism means more than
mere drunkenness, as bad as that
is. Constant excessive drinking has
serious effects on the body and the
mind, often leading to physical and
mental degeneration.
Even this is not the whole story,
The lowered resistance of alcohol
les means that they are most lik-
ely than others to become diseas-
ed and that, once diseased, their
bodies usually are unable to fight
the invading infection.
This is particularly true in the
case of tuberculosis. Statistics
show that tuberculosis occurs a
niong alcoholics at a much greater
rate than among others. Many TB
hospitals report that ar least 25 per

Changes OF Farm
Social Security
Laws Are Noted
BY c. c. DARBY, Manager
Columbus Social Security office

Columbus Social Security office
If you're a farmer, chances are
that changes in social security
which became law this summer af-
feet you and your family. This is
so whether you own farm, rent
farm, or do farm work for some
one else.
Since 1854, earnings from self
employment as farmer or ranch
er have counted toward old-age
and survivors insurance. The new
law doesn't change that. Under
the old law, however, you did not
get social security credit for cash
or. crop shares you received as rent
for your land. Income from farm
land which was let out to someone
else, even if on a share-farming
basis, was regarded as rentals
from real estate and did not count
toward social security. The man
who had only this kind of income
from his farm was regarded simply
as a land owner, not a self-employ-
ed farmer.
In many cases, income of this
type is still excluded from social
security coverage. If you simply
collect rent for the land, that's still
rental from real estate. Under the
1856 amendmnts to the law, how
ever, the cash or crop shares a
farm owner receives from a tenant
or share-farmer is regarded as
fam income which will be credited
to his social security account if he
materially participates" in the
management or production of the
farm commodities.
Let's say you own some farm
land, or hold farm property under
lease, and in turn rent it to some
one else. If you simply collect rent
for the land, that's still rental from
real estate. Don't report it as self
employment farm income for So
cial security purposes. On the
other hand, if you let out the land

Drove out to see how they're
getting along with the new super
highway that's going to pass
through town.
While I was there a fussy little
guy-a spectator, like me came
up to the foreman on the job and
started making all sorts of sug-
gestions: Shouldn't it go little
farther left there? -. Why don't
you bank the curves more? :.

cent of their patients are alcoholics
Again, still more TO this sad story.
Alcoholics are not only more lik-
ely to have TB than others, but
they are also less likely to recov-
er from the disease. The new met
hods of treating TB cannot be ap-
piled effectively to patients whose
drinking weakens their resistance,
makes them unable to follow the
doctors orders, and often results
in their going AWOL from hospi-
tails while still in contagious con-
dition.
The combination of alcoholism
and tuberculosis is a triple trag-
edyA It is a tragedy for the indi-
vidual who all but destroys his
chances for beating tuberculosis.
1t is a tragedy for the commune
ity that must pay the heavy cost
of needlessly prolonged illness. 1t
is a tragedy to innocent people who
may be exposed to the disease by
alcoholic patients who refuse treat
ment.
Here's proof that everybody pays
for excessive drinking.
Harmony, that was it! That was
what came out of the silence - a
gentle rhythm, the strain of per-
feet chord, the music of the sph-
eres, perhaps.

Bright Ways To
Enhance Yule Gifts
AP Newsfeatures

AP Newsfeatures -t <.
Gift wrappings may be conver-
sation pieces. A pretty one may go
a long way in stretching the i'm
portance of a gift. A fluffy ribbon
bow atop a package or gift wrap
that is especially suitable to the
contents of the package may be
more fun than the gift itself.
A real intriguing Rft wrap for
young girls is an angelic one that
is charming and simple to make.
Wrap the box in black or char
coal gray paper and secure with
celiopbane tape.
Pleat a piece of pink construc-
tion paper into 3-inch folds and
cut out angle shapes. Use an angel
picture as a pattelp. When unfold
ed, you have a strip of six angels
holding hands. The wings are cut
separately and taped to the back
of each angel. Now place them in
a semi-circle on top of the box and
hold them in place with clear tape.
Tiny birthday candles are taped to
each angels hand for an extra
touch. Fluffs of cotton are taped
here and there to form floating
clouds. There are a variety of other
shapes you could cut from folded
paper in similar fashion: a row of
triangular trees, studded with Sc
quins; gingerbread ladies or snow
men decorated with holiday tape.
Almost any Christmas motif will
lend itself. Skaters may lend fes-
tive note if you find just the right
pattern.
Experiment with your design US
ing newspaper until you get just
the right one. Then cut it on the
good paper.
Use Christmas ornaments, flow-
,ers, glitter and other inexpensive
items to add glamor and individual
ly to your beribboned packages. A
red rosebud tapped to each ribbon
loop may give a special look. Small
ornaments and bells tied to the end
of streamers will tinkle as the gift
is being opened. Another novelty
of gift wrapping is to brush the
sticky side of cellophane tape in
glitter and tape around a small
Another cute idea is to dye cot
ton swabs gay colors and make pin
wheel designs. Dye the cotton tips
red or green and sprinkle them
with glitter. Fasten to your pack
age with cellophane tape. You may
also spell out the persons name
with these little cotton tips if you
are decorating a large package.
These swabs also come in handy
for addressing Christmas packages.
Dip them in ink, colored paint or
nail polish and write directions
and addresses with a bold stroke.
You may also decorate your Christ
mas package in this fashion, max
ing striking designs with the little
swabs.

With the Christmas rush already
here and lots more to come, wise
menu planning is necessary. We
all have busy times when we have
to get dinner in a hurry. With
some beforehand planning, it's not
too difficult TO give your family a
well balanced meal, especially
with the plentiful food now on the
Best Buy list. So plan ahead and
make the most of your budget and
time. Be sure to remember the
basic seven food groups for they
are a guide to wise meal plan
ming.
Eggs are one of the seven that
are in plentiful supply and at price
levels below a year ago. Although
medium grade A eggs are now sell
ing from 39c to 45c a dozen, 12c
below the same grade large eggs,
the price of large eggs is beginning
a moderate seasonal downward
trend. They will be a great help
in starting the day off in a "big
way" by having a good breakfast.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
are on the basic seven food chart
and, like eggs, are plentiful with
prices such that the pre-Christmas
budget string can be pulled even
tighter. Remember though to buy
the right potato to suit your needs.
To go along with potatoes, and the
rest of your meal, are onions. There
are lots of onions and the quality
is good-many are selling as low
as &c a pound, too. Other good buys
in vegetables are: broccoli, cab
bage, winter squash and cauli-
flower. Lettuce, however, is short
in supply and varies in quality
try substituting other green's if the
Fruits are an essential for a
well balance diet and can certain
ly be used in place of desserts. An
orange, a half grapefruit, a nice
juicy apple-all are good and all
are plentiful now Prices are
higher this year on oranges, though,
because supplies of Florida
oranges are less than one-half
compared to a year ago. The first
shipments of tangerines have come
IN, but they are not plentiful. The
large sizes are selling for 49c-59c
q dozen. Bananas will begin to ap-
pear on local markets again since
labor conditions are beginning to
clear up.
For meat look for good buys on
broilers, fryers, ground beef, for
hamburgers and meat loaf; chuck
roast for cold and hot sandwiches
and stews, and ham. Hams are
fairly stable in price right now,
selling at ACC to SOC pound for
a whole ham. Remember, hams
usually increase a little in price as
the Christmas holidays approach.
To complete the basic seven,
don't forget milk and bread, both
foods are good buys for good
health.
