The people at the Internal
Revenue Service tell about the
man who went into a Federal
building to fill out his income
tax return. sat down at a desk,
and was handed some forms.
1t seemed a peculiar way of
doing business, he thought as
he looked at the forms, but
he went ahead and filled them
out. Only after he'd completed
them did he learn that in
stead of filing his return, he
had taken, and passed, a Civil
Service examination for
building guard.
They're also chuckling about
the letter from a woman who
enclosed a lock of her hair,
not as a token of affection,
but, she explained, after I'd
filled out my return, l felt
I'd been scalped."

down on a bench.
From the sack he pulled a

A clipped, aristOcratic

Rambler
Congress Detoured
Back to 10th Street

A reminder of a year of
confusion along Sixteenth
street NV. soon will go on
display at the Mt. Pleasant
branch of the District Public
Library.
It is a street marker-a
glass panel with fancy red
lettering reading avenue of
the Presidents" the official
designation of Sixteenth street
for about a year in 1894.
1t is a gift to the Library
from Roland M. Brennan, for
mer purchasing officer for the
District. The marker is one of
two samples made before the
temporary permanent markers
were put up. Those finally
hung along Sixteenth street
were of the same size and
type, but the lettering was
blue.
AS far as Mr.. Brennan
knows, only two of the mark
ers still exist. The other was
the property of the late Earl
Goodwin, and hung in the
newscaster's Virginia home.
Congress approved the
Avenue of the Presidents"
name March 4, 1918. Then the
confusion began.
Sixteenth street residents
had to buy new stationery.
The District Surveyor had to
alter his maps and plats. The
Post Office was officially mott
fed. All the old signs had to
come down and the new ones
put up.
The name was not popular.
The following year Congress
ruled, Hereafter the street
-. shall be known and desig-
mated as Sixteenth Street in
accordance with the original
plans of the City of Wash
ington."
All the changes had to be
made again. 1t must have
taken years for friends of
Sixteenth street residents to
get their Christmas card lists
back in shape.

How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming . .. like any other industry -.
needs the ef6ciencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs sales de-
partment and purchasing department
someone to counsel on insurance
and credit and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If it weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual iilsur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-ike and more profitable.

Anderson Bill To Revise Public
Assistance Laws Merits Support

Can explanation of features of
HR 6971, introduced by Cong. Leroy
Anderson.)
Since enactment of the Public AS
sistance Section of the Social Security
Act, Congress has been consistently
concerned with the low benefits Civ
en- our needy aged, blind, physically
handicapped and dependent children
and has, on several occasions, passed
legislation to increase Federal con-
tributions TO the states for this pro-
gram.
However, while considering the fl
nancial needs of recipients under the
program and making some small prog
ress towards solution of this grave
problem, Congress has given little or
no consideration to assuring that our
needy citizens will be treated humane
ly under administration of the Public
Assistance Act. Herein lies the major
cause of agitation and irritation
among our elderly and needy citizens
across the country as attested by the
stream of letters reaching Capitol
Hill.
If Congress is to be truly concerned
with the plight of our public assistance
recipients, then it must not only en-
deavor to provide financial assistance,
but it must seek to safeguard them
from undue harrassment and intimi-
dation in the receipt of such aid and
restore to them their right to hu-
man dignity.
The Humanitarian and Old Age
Rights Act,' (HR697D, by Cong.
Anderson (Mont.), is step in the
right direction. 1t would require the
laws of the 48 states to be more uni
form by having Congress establish
single standard of qualifications
for the applicants and recipients
below which no state shall go.
For the first time, Legislative
intent" would be established by Con-
gress ''that public assistance shall
be administered promptly and hu-
namely, with due regard for the pres
ervation of family life, and without
discrimination on account of race, sex,
religion or political affiliation; and
the assistance laws be literally con-
strued."
Additional features of HR 6971
include:
L. That the age requirement for
old age assistance recipients shall be
the same as that established for old
age beneficiaries under Title II of
the Social Security Act.
2. The aged and handicapped on
public assistance would be be allowed
to earn up to $50 per month; the
parents of needy children up to $50

Triangle Phone
To Serve 2,039
Rural Members

The Triangle Telephone Associa-
tion of Havre, Montana, has received
a fourth loan from REA to extend it's
program of modern dial phone service
into Fergus county to serve 1876 rural
consumers. These new loan funds
total $196,OO0.
One hundred and seventy-nine of
these farms and ranches in the ex-
panded territory do not have tele-
phones. AS a nucleus for this new
service, the association proposes to
acquire "a miles of toll line serving
seven toll stations now operated by
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. 1t extends from Win
fired to Hilger, Montana.
Proposed new construction includes
a dial central office at Winifred and
24O miles of line. All of the acquired
toll line will be used in place.
REA loans to this cooperative
amount to $1,625,OO which will en-
able it to provide new and improved
service to 2,039 rural subscribers in
Blaine, Chouteau, Fergus, Hill and
Liberty counties. Ten of the 13 pro-
posed exchanges of the system are in
operation, furnishing dial service to
around LOO subscribers. The COM
pleted system will consist of 1904
miles of line.
Thomas Staff is the president and
Harold Ebaugh is the manager of the
