4-H'ers To Enter FavOrite

Four-H'ers now enrolled in food
projects may take part in a fav-

announced this week.
County winners will go on to
a state contest at Capital Grange

Three divisions may be entered
in the county contest at the Har-
Iington Fair Grounds on Sept. 21,
the agent said. These include all
dishes from breakfast, luncheon
and dinner or other advanced
food preparation units.
Entries must require some use
of a range, top burner or oven.

the Delaware Agricultural Stabil-
ization and Conservation Commit
tee (ASC), declared this week.
In noting the change in pay
ments, the chairman said the S3,-
900 limitation on 1858 payments
will be applied to each producer
with regard to each farm, rather
than as a ceiling on the amount
paid him for all farms.
The $4,000 limit does not in
clude payments under the con-
servation reserve, the other part
of the Soil Bank, Simpson point
ed out. There is a separate limit
of $4,000 in the total of conser-
walton reserve annual payments
made in any one year.
If a farmer puts acreage in
both the acreage reserve and the
conservation reserve, he could be
eligible for total 1858 payments
of $4,000.

GD 4-H'ers Like to
VN Freeze Foods

Among the newer All projects
which have gained steadily in
popularity in the state is the
national All Frozen Foods pro-
gram. Modern freezing equip
ment, a better understanding of
the nutritive value of frozen
foods, and rising cost of fresh
foods have all been contributing
factors.
According to the United States
Department of Agriculture, All
Club members last year froze an
estimated seven million pounds
of meat, vegetables, fruits and
baked goods. Their valuable con-
tribution to the family larder has
undoubtedly saved much time
and money in preparing meals.
AS in all national All awards
programs, superior efforts of
those who complete the projects
are handsomely rewarded. In
the frozen foods project, the
Whirlpool-Seeger Corporation of
st. Joseph, Michigan, will again
provide county, state and ma
tional awards for 4-H'ers whose
records are judged best by the
Cooperative Extension Service.
In each county as many as
four medals may go to blue
award group. The state winner
becomes a delegate to the 1857
national All Club Congress in
Chicago, and will then be eligible
for national honors. This top
award is a $400 college scholar
ship, and will be presented to
six national champions during
the Congress.
Local All leaders and Exten-
sion Agents are now working
with members who are eager to
learn the fine points of selecting,
freezing and storing wide vari-
ETY. of foodstuff. The peak of
activity will center around the
time when gardens and orchards
are ready for harvesting.
Inquiries regarding enrolment
In the All Frozen Foods program
should be directed to the local
4-H Club leader or the County
Extension Agent.
Smyrna times., 1957-09-12

Simpson also said that farmers
who took part in the 1857 acre
age reserve program can earn
10 per cent premium this year
above 1858 compensation rates.
To receive the higher payments,
the identical land in the 1857 pro-
gram must be in the 1858 pro-
gram.
Stressing that each farming op-
Grafton will require individual
handling to receive the above-$3,-
900 limit payments, Simpson urg-
ed farmers to contact the county
ASC office before October 4, the
last day for signing agreements.

SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
Thousands of Men 65 Continue to
Work; Do Not Want TO Retire

& VI UD W
Work; DO Not Want to Retire
Over nine million persons are
now getting old-age and survivors
insurance benefits each month,
according to Myron Milbouer,
manager of the Wilmington So
cial Security office. However,
thousands of men, 65 years of
age and over, and women, 81
years or over, continue to work
and do not want to retire or hesi-
tate to do so. Many reduce their
earnings by doing part-time or
seasonal work.
The social security law recog-
nized this, Milbouer says, and
provides that men between 65 and
72, and women between 81 and
72, who do not earn more than
$1,000 within a calendar year, may
receive their social security ben
efits for all II months of the
year.
It's vitality important for all
workers who plan to retire and
those who are now getting month
ly benefits and intend to do part
time work, to fully understand
the retirement test"
First, The term earnings" must
be understood and should be dis
tinguished from wages paid. Earn
ings are the value of the services
being rendered for which wages
are due later. Earnings include
cash (gross wages before deduc-
tions) and wages paid in a form
other than cash, such as meals,
living quarters, etc. Bonuses, COM
missions, fees, vacation and holi-
day pay are included as earnings.
Earnings from work not covered
by social security are also includ-
ed. Investment income, such as
dividens from stocks, interest
payments of any kind, annuities,
pensions, rentals from real estate
are not counted as part of the
annual earnings. A worker who
applies for benefits during the
year in which he becomes 65 (62
for a woman) must count the
earnings from the beginning of
the year even though he is not
65 (62 FOR a woman) until months
later.
A worker who becomes 72 dur
ing the year must count earnings
until the end of the year. Even
though benefits are paid for the
month the worker becomes 72 and
thereafter, the earnings after he
reaches age 72 can affect entitle-
ment for the months in the year
before he reaches age 72.
A beneficiary who earns $1,000
or less for the year is entitled to
benefit checks for all months.
A beneficiary who earns over
S2080 and works all II months
having earned over $50 in all
months-loses all monthly bene-
fits during the year.

explanation of the retirement

curity district office. Call, write,

Control Initiation

question of business and prosperity IN 1891
There are definite soft spots III the econo-
my and there is no doubt that certain plant
expansion programs and production efforts
are being postponed because Of expensive
money Interest rates have risen steeply
and they are now having their effect on
business expansion. But the steady pres
sure behind the labor front, in favor OF
higher and higher wage rates, continues to
grow The trouble with the Administra-
tons approach to the economic situation
is that there is apparently no way to check
the evercontinung demand for higher and
higher wages
The President has acknowledged this
problem by requesting that industry and
labor cooperate in not putting more pres
sure behind the <inflationary drive and,
thereby, increase the spiral of higher and
higher prices, and costs. We doubt if the
Presidents appeal for voluntary coopera-
ton will suffice, since labor unions are in
terested in gaining direct results for MEM
bers and cannot be expected to change their
purpose and character overnight.
The net result will probably be more in
flation, and we suspect that the tight
money policies of the Administration have
gone about as far as they can go. 1t seems
that another solution may be required to
solve this problem, and the Eisenhower Ad-
mnistration may soon be forced to reorient
it's thinking on the economy so as to stop
the rising cost spiral and encourage plant
and business expansion, rather than dis
courage it.

1T seems strange to hear the President go
ing on record at a press conference to the
effect that he will fight a recession active
ly The President recently told news con-
ference that he would resort to deficit
spending, if necessary in combating re-
cession.
The Secretary of the Treasury has also
had some eye-opening words for the public.
Secretary of the Treasury George Hum
phrey noted when the 1858 budget was
first presented to Congress, that it should
be cut in many places and that we were
taking too much money out of the country's
economy. Humphrey went so far as to pre-
diet depression if such spending were not
curtailed.
The President has said that he, too, want
"a to see Congress cut the budget as much
as possible This seems to leave the ball in
the hands of Congress, but Congress is not
likely to cut the 1858 budget much. Ac
cording to the Presidential estimate, the
country will collect more money than it
spends, and thus enjoy another year in the
black. and, if that is true. the incentive in
Congress is not going to be too great to cut
the budget
Since tax cut is not expected, and since
the budget is likely to be balanced, spend
ing is likely to be heavy. Speaker Sam Ray
burn has indicated that he does not expect
the Eighty Fifth Congress to cut the bud
ret much. And the Senate is additionally
easier on the purse-strings than is the
House of Representatives.
All of which brings us around to the

Charlie Wilson Pops Off

WE have ALWAYS sorter liked Charlie Will
" son, secretary Of defense, but he can
pop off at the most unusual times and
places. His latest remark about youngsters
draft-dodging the Korean war by enlisting
in the National Guard is one to be regretted.
He made the mistake of speaking in general
when he should have spoken in particular.
No doubt some boys 1872 years old enlisted
in the National Guard and did not see SER
vice In our opinion a 1874 year old boy
needs more training than the regular army
can give him in six months land some of
the draftees were in the battlefront in less
time) If he comes into the National Guard
at that age, he needs not only good sub
stantial military training but sympathetic
training He gets both in the Companies OF
the National Guard-that is the Virginia
National Guard. We know his officers and
we know that they are efficient. We know
he gets the proper conception of his duty
and we know he will discharge it with dis
patch and patriotism.
The Pentagon may be responsible for
Charlie Wilson's Impressions The regular
army has never been particularly pleased
with the National Guard, unless this train
ed military force is needed for federal ser
vice. Two reasons occur to us First, when
federalized, National Guard officers take
some precedence over regular army per-
