FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

REVENGE: Admiral Marc A
Mitscher. naval hero of World
War II. was an ardent fisher
man. In June 1945. after re-
turning from combat duty, he
went on a fishing trip to Puget
Sound.
He didn't catch a thing. Dis
appointed. he went to q friends
home in California.
A few days after his arrival,
he received a call from the Navy
Department. Secretary Forrestal
had been scheduled to deliver
an address in Seattle on July 4
but could not make it. Would
Mitscher fill in for him?
Despite his fatigue, Mitscher
agreed to deliver the speech, II
1t was written for him. The
contents did not interest him.
He still hadn't read it when he
stood up to deliver it.
Ladies and gentlemen" he
said. taking the neatly type
written pages out Of his pocket.

advantage the world can offer
their security cannot be guar
anteed.
This husband and wife need
first to recognize that there car
be no absolute security for any,
one. They ought to base Their
decision on how to use theil
money on the following consid-
erations:
/. Will having a little money
really give Lewis greater peace
of mind? If it will, this is q
benefit from which the entire
family will gain.
2. Are the children really bene-
fitting from all their activities?
Couldn't they enjoy and profit

Ito camp every summer, have
music and dancing lessons, be-
long to clubs and have plenty of
nice clothes.
MY feeling is that if the chill
dren are substantially set UP in
life, we'll have nothing to worry
about. It will mean nothing to
them to give us a bit of a hand
III we need it,"
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There is justification for the
point Of view of both husband
and wife in this case. Nobody
can tell them exactly how to
|apportion their money, but they
should try to look at their stu
alton a little more effectively.
Lewis says his firm has a pen
sion pain, he'll have old-age Sc
curity and he has a partially
paid for home. This won't keep
the couple in luxuries, but there
appears to be little danger of
their having to go begging or be-
coming a heavy burden on their
children in their old age. How
much security does Lewis want?
He appears to show more anxiety
than his situation calls for.
On the other hand, Elizabeth
insists upon giving to the hilt
for the children even at the ex-
pense of worrying her husband.
She seems to want to stuff the
children with every possible ma
terial advantage so that they will
be substantially set up"
She shows too much anxiety
about her children's future. She
does not seem to realize that
there is absolutely no limit to the
number Of material advantages
children can have and that
even If they have every material

datory retirement age. They
cant continue to do their jobs,
for one reason or another.
i And. many Of them don't have
enough money to live on. Their
Social Security payments aren't
high enough. Their relatives
can't help them. They don't have
any savings or other sources OF
Income.
To answer this problem in part
the Federal Government and the
States (as well as the District OF
IColumbia) have locked arms.
Il In each State and the District
of Columbia. an old age assis-
Itance program is in operation to
help needy people who are SIS OF
older. 1t gives them regular
monthly paymentS-supplied ir
part by the Federal Government
and by the States.
Average Is $54.3O
The size Of the payments vary
depending on the State. The
leverage is about $54.30. The lat
est available figures show that
Connecticut has the highest pay
ments Of about $89 a month
while West Virginia is the lowest
with about $3.50.
The requirements to be ELI
lgible for the payments also vary
from State to State. But, in gen.
eral, eligibility revolves around
the definition Of NEEDY" set up
by the States. Each State makes
Its decision based on what things
1t feels its people must have to
live at minimum living stand
ard.
Then each person who applies
Is considered needy If all the in
come he has or can get from
other sources Is less than the
cost Of the minimum living
standard set by his State. The
assistance payment makes up the
difference.
Because some people have
more expensive needs due to i'll
ness. etc.. and because some
people have more money than
others. the payments are seldom
the same for any two people.
| II you feel you qualify for the
old age assistance payments and
you're not now receiving them,
your first step is to visit, write
or phone your nearest welfare
ONCE. II you don't know the adj
dress or phone number, chances
are you can get 1t through your
local post Office.
Need Information
/ AS a result Of your inquiry, a
welfare Office worker will explain
what information you need to
formally apply for the payments.
The information you'll need will
include proof of your age and a
report Of all your income and
property.
! Chances are the welfare worker
will also visit your home and
check the data you need to apply.
He'll also take your application.
Within a reasonable time.
you'll receive q notice from the
welfare Office telling you whether
or not your application has been
approved. II 1t has, you'll also be
told how much you'll be getting.
Although the check is usually
sent monthly. it can vary, In
addition to this check. you may
also be found eligible to have
part or all of your medical bills
paid for.

I work. 1t is so easy for me
to bend over and touch the

Eleanor advised. Il do two
exercises that take care of all
three.
There is nothing like roll
ing to keep your hips down.
Just sit on the floor, put your
knees up and rock back and
forth. I do this SO times every
day.
The second exercise is to
lie on the floor and bring
your legs over your head until
your toes touch the floor be-

straight and slowly return your
feet to the floor. This exer-
else gets all the kinks out of

Humphrey Asks
For Lower Ceiling
On National Debt

WASHINGTON, R-The House
Ways and Means Committee yes
terday approved the Eisenhower
Administrators request for a
one-year increase of So billion
in the national debt limit.
This would put the temporary
ceiling on government borrowing
during the new fiscal year start
ing July l at $278 billion, So bill
lion less than in effect the past
two years.
The statutory limit on the debt
is SITS billion. The Treasury can
not exceed that figure without
congressional approval.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey,
in asking for the lower temporary
ceiling, said the administration
expects to wind UP the 1856 fiscal
year on June 30 with the national
debt under 1913 billion.
He said this would be accom-
plished by applying an expected
budget surplus of S1,800,000,000
to debt reduction.
