This is an open letter for all to read. It concerns speeding in the bay of WrangeI harbor.
 This week end my boy was run over by an outboard while he was in a row boat in the head of the bay He was injured when his boat was swamped. and was lucky he was not drowned.
 It seems that this law was made to apply to certain people and not to pertain to others. Last summer my wife was fined an extra a. mount for speeding, as some will remember, compared with what others have been fined.
 AS citizens of Wrangell, includ- ing myself. we should turn in all persons breaking this law and any others we are aware of Most of us obey these rules and ordinances, so why shouldn't others?

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CONDITION: Unlike many
actors. Maurice Evans has a
gifted head for business.
Early in his career. after ap-
pearing in a succession of hops,
he decided to give up the glamour
'of the theater for something
with a steadier income. He
opened a dry-cleaning shop,
which proved an immediate
success.
Some time later, a London
theatrical producer was looking
for a juvenile to appear in a new
musical. He remembered Evans,
who had once worked for him.
When the producer finally
located him and offered him the
part, Evans evinced no interest.
He saw no reason why he should
neglect an established, profitable
business to accept a job In which
the chances of financial success
were uncertain, at best.
The producer was insistent.
Evans was an actor, he pointed
out, and there were artistic re-
wards to be considered. Evans
was unlmpressed by this argu-
ment.
He could not, however, fail to
observe how eager the other was
to obtain his services. He finally
agreed to appear in the show,
when the producer yielded to his
terms-that he also get the
contract to dry clean all the
costumes.

SECURITY FOR YOU
By RAY HENRY

Congress changed the Socia
Security law a few weeks ago sc
that more farmers are now undel
Social Security.
With the changes, the law nov
covers-and regards as farmer:
almost all persons who farm
land which they own or rent OR
who regularly take part in The
operation Of farms they rent tc
others. The only persons among
these two groups who arent
covered are those with little mel
earnings or little gross income
from farming.
AS farmers covered by Social
Security they must pay a Social
Security tax on their net earn
ings for which they get credit
toward Social Security pay
ments: (A) for themselves II
they become severely disabled
and have reached SO, (B) for
themselves and their spouses il
they retire after reaching SIS
(men) or 81 (women), and &C.
for their families if they should
die.
Eligibility Changes
The changes made by Con-
gress brought under Social Sc
curity:
/. Farmers who regularly take
part in the operation of farms
they rent to others. In most
cases, such farmers were made
eligible for Social Security cover
age back to January /. 1856, and
must make their first tax pay
ment at least by April Is, 1857
previously, all farmers whose
only income was from farm rent
couldn't be covered by Social
Security no matter how they
were involved in the operation
of farms they rented to others. }
2. Farmers with gross farm in
come of at least 5000 and not
more than $500 a year. Social
Security coverage in this case
generally starts January /, 1856
and the first tax payment will be
due at least by April IS, 1857.
previously, such farmers
were not covered by Social Sc

not slacken we are going to have
a very bad sea.
1900 Hours: The storm is rag
ing, raising up enormous masses
of water which crash on the
stern of the raft. Luckily Marc
has been able to make another
sea anchor of rope and canvas
to slow us down. We can hear
the wind bowling through the
guy ropes. The rain catcher
swings violently in every direc-
ton, threatening to tear itself
loose at every second.
We feel the raft rise with the
waves laundering over her, caus-
ing terrible vibrations. The nine
logs of the raft give the impress
sion that they are trying to tear
apart from each other. The
cabin groans. Everything on
board is moving. Everything
we've hung inside the cabin beats
against the Sides, We have re-
corded a fall from 1920 to 1,010
millibars on the barometer in
less than an hour. This is not
reassuring.
JUNE "a
01OO Hours: The wind is now
calmer. showing a slight wes-
terly tendency. Let's hope it
keeps this way long enough for
us to reach the Gulf Stream.
100 Hours: 1t is now calm
enough for us to have a game
of cards. When we first played
a Nv days ago we decided we
would not choose gambling
games of skill but ones that were
won or lost largely by luck of
the cards. After all, we are here
together in the hands of destiny!
We played belote, with 80 cards.
Marc decided. slyly. to try
some cheating but when we
caught him at it he protested,
IF / cannot cheat with friends
who will risk their lives with me.
then with whom may I cheat?"
I thought this a reasonable an
swer but we punished Marc by
putting him to work with a
chisel-and he cut some rough
checkers from the logs of the
raft. From a box he also made
a board. From now on, CASTOR
and I decided, checkers would
be our game with Marc.
We have some reading mate
rial aboard--a few old maya
zines. but I have not the pa
thence for much reading. Still
the magazines come in handy.
We roll up page into a paper
ball and by throwing 1t on the

curity unless they could show at
least $500 in gross farm income.)
Congress also changed the
method some farmers may use
to get Social Security credit to-
ward future payment.
Here's the story:
One major factor always in
volved in figuring the size of a
persons future Social Security
payments is the amount of net
earnings put on his Social Sc
curity record each year.
Earnings Setup Revised
Unlike other workers under
Social Security, some farmers
have had since 1854 a number
Of ways they could arrive at the
figure which they could report
to Social Security as net earn
ings. Congress revised these so
that all farmers now have these
ways of arriving at the figure for
net earnings:
/. If a farmers actual net
earnings is $500 or more year.
he may report his actual net
earnings up to $4,000 a year, or
2. If his gross farm income is
not more than $1,000, he may
report two-thirds of his gross
income as his net earnings. or.
3. If his gross farm income is
more than $1,000 and his actual
net is less than $1,000, he may
report 1900 as his net earnings.
For most farmers. this new
optional method of reporting net
earnings goes into effect on
January /, 1856, and his first
tax payment under it must be
paid at least by April IS. 1857.

actual poverty unless my brother
and I can manage to shield her
from the sad realities. She
seems to have no conception Of
business affairs and no knowl-
edge of our fathers business,
which held together while he
was alive, but has since gone
completely to pieces.
Besides the problem of mother,
we have thousands of dollars in
debts to meet on account OF
doctor and hospital bills and
borrowing by my father.
was thinking of getting
married. but now feel that my
brother and I, who is not
married either. should remain
with mother and dig our way
out. My brother diSagrees.
Walter - Andrew would be
making a mistake not to marry.
He and I are both doing well
and we could contribute some-
thing to help mother, but I do
not think it would be helping
her if we shield her from reali-
ties.
I think Walter has the wrong
idea about her. Because father
provided well, she was able to
spend freely and keep a good
home. But Andrew does not seem
to realize that she did very well
in managing things and making
the most of the money she had.
She was a very good hostess and
housekeeper, and / am sure she
does not want to be a helpless
dependent of her sons.
I think we should lay all the
facts before her and work out a
solution with her advice and
consent.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Nothing could be worse than
the course advocated by Andrew.
He would destroy his own en-
gagement. deny his mother the
chance to help map her own
future and oblige his brother to
follow HIS own example. That
would be destructive.
There is no telling what can
abilities are possessed by this
mother, whose capacities as a
hostess and housekeeper were
noticed by the older son. If she
is kept in ignorance of the facts,
she may come to suffer all the
insecurities and unhappiness in
herent in dependency.
Her greatest need is a realiza-
ton that her family has achieved
a sense of solidarity. If secrets
are kept from her, she will be
denied that satisfaction. If the
boys get together with her and
invite her to lead a discussion
on the family'S future, she may
derive therefrom the satisfaction
and security that will enable her
to play a useful and happy role
with her remaining years.
If Andrew were to deprive him
self of marriage, he would also
be depriving his mother of FAM
lily goals to which every aging
mother looks forward.

1,400 Hours: Life on board
has been calm for the last couple
of days but we have just one
wish-to reach the Grand Banks
OF Newfoundland so we can get
into the Gulf Stream that will
carry us to Europe.
1900 Hours: Jose Sstill i'll and
disconsolate. He no longer takes
his watch but merely sleeps. In
other words we have a passenger
on board. This afternoon one of
the kittens, Puce, stole a bit of
tongue from the hook at the
end of our fishing line. We are
very worried, for he must have
eaten the hook as well. We will
see how he is tomorrow.
JUNE 20
$500 Hours: Puce is well and
now Jose will be well, too! At
0705 hours I sighted a trawler to
the starboard, coming straight
for us. She was the Investigator
II, a Canadian government yes
sci studying marine life. The
captain, William Barbour, called
out to ask if all was well, and I
told him about Jose. Capt. Bar
boux lowered a long boat and
soon Jose was safely aboard, on
his way to st. Johns, Newfound-

O92O Hours: Now there are
only three of us on L'Egare.
Even though Jose was sick and
unable to work he was one of
us. Now there is a sudden
strange emptiness on the raft

The wind has been blowing
full from the south for two days.
We are now only so miles from
the Gulf Stream but we cannot
reach it. For that we need a.
north or northwest wind, or west
or southwest.
At this moment our two kit
tens are sitting on the logbook.
They look at me. sadly. 1 think
perhaps they would prefer being
in Matane. in the Gaspe. where
they were born. They are
brothers. and a friend sent them
to me when they were only three
weeks old. They arrived by
train. in Halifax just before we
set out on our voyage.
For a while it did not look as
though we could take them, be-
cause the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals
thought kittens could not sail the
Atlantic. But CASTOR and ! hid
the kittens under our shirts and
crept like conspirators into the
cabin and the kittens had a Sc
cret home in Mares sleeping bag.
Now Guiton, the gray one,
has snuggled under my left arm
and Puce, the black one, is on
my shoulder. Puce means" flea
lit is a good name because he
is so tiny and agile. The kittens
are good sailors and fine travel

they fight too much--and Puce
wins. But they are very sweet,
even so.

eide to try to catch some cod
with our jigger-an imitation
herring made of lead. Within an
hour Marc heaves from the water
a 10-pound cod. Our first fish!
I try my luck but without much
result. Tired after pulling on
the line for 10 minutes, I hand
it back to Marc who brings out a
second cod a few seconds later.
He says it is his most thrilling
moment of the trip-a moment
he would not trade for $1,000.
1t is an event none Of us would
trade-our first fish in 80 days.

big meal-three slices of cod
each. The kittens join in the
