Robert B. Youmans, manager
today called attention to new
social security rights for persons
who have been disabled for
some time and veterans with SER
yice-connected disabilities.
Youmans said that the new
amendments recently passed by
Congress and signed by the
President extend the deadline
for persons severely disabled be-
fore January /, 1855, to file an
application for a ''freeze" to pro-
tect their social security bene-
fit rights. The amendments also
provide that veterans with SER
yice-connected disabilities may
receive a full disability benefit
under social security along with
their full disability compensation
from the Veterans Administra-
ton.
The original deadline was set
at last June 80. The new deadline
is June 80, 1858.
Social Security benefits are
based on the average earnings
of the worker. Under the dis
ability "freeZe" provision, years
of no earnings because of dis
ability may be dropped in COM
putting the average earnings. This
retains full benefits for disabled
workers, based on their period
of actual employment.
Previously, for disabled veter
ans, Youmans continued, the
social security payment was re-
duced by the amount of COM
pensation received for service
connected disabilities. The offset
continues to apply in cases in
volving veterans pensions which
are paid for nonservice- connect
ed disability and certain other
public disability payments.
Until the recent change in the
law, disabled person who
failed to make his claim before
the end of June, 1857, and who
had become disabled before
January /, 1865, would have lost
his right to have his social sec
urity record frozen. Also, he
could have lost future rights to
any social security benefits for
himself or his family.
Mr.. Youmans, whose office is
located at 825 Main street, Zanes-
vile, said he believes many dis
abled persons still have not
applied for their rights under the
"freeze" provisions. This office
is open from 8:45 a. m. to 4:45
p. m, Monday thru Friday.

years from my discharge, since
l was out of the country on a
government job. Could an eXcep-
ton be made in my case, allow
ing me to begin my schooling

A-No. The law requires vet
erans to begin Korean CT train
ing within three years from the
date of their discharge or sep
aration. 1t allows for no eXcep

Q-I am a widow of a World

payments?
A-No. Once you have elected
to receive payments under the
Survivor Benefits Act, the law
prohibits your switching back to
death compensation payments.
Q-May a Spanish-American

TRUTH is NOT DATED

One of my favorite authors is
William Graham Sumner (1840-
1910), who from 1872 until he
retired for age in 1909, was Pro-
fessor of Political and Social Sci
ence at Yale University. While
Professor Sumner passed away
many years ago, the timeliness
of his utterances by their all
time applicability, graphically
illustrates that the truth does
not date"
I've previously quoted what
he had to say about Socialism,
but it will bear repetition again
and again. Said he:
Socialism is any device or
doctrine whose aim is to save
individuals from any of the diff
fiulties or hardships Of the strug-
gle for existence and the com
petition of life by the interven-
ton of THE. STATE. Inasmuch
as THE STATE never is or can
be anything but some other
people, Socialism is device for
making some people fight the
struggle for existence for
o hers"
Have you ever read a better
definition of Socialism? I have
not.
And then Sumner commented
on an evil that has grown apace
since his time:
The fashion of the time is to
run to government boards, com
missions, and inspectors TO set
right everything which is wrong.
No experience seems to damp
the faith of our public in these
instrumentalities."
If Sumner was. perturbed
about this around the turn of
the Century, he certainly would
be in a panic in this year of
1857.

The Pinkos give the word
profit a nasty meaning. AS a
matter of fact, it is really a nice
word. Due largely to their
socialistic propaganda, all too
many Americans believe that
business makes too much
profit"
For instance, a recent nation
wide survey revealed that more
than half of the people believe
that business makes 25c or more
profit on every dollar of sales.
Actually, American business
makes approximately 7c profit
on each dollar of sales.
To further confound the de-
famerS of business, consider this:
Only seven percent of the sales
dollar goes to pay for the
mechanical energy which does "a
percent of the nations work,
while 20 percent of the sales dol
lar is paid out in wages and
salaries for the human energy
that does only 6 percent of the
work.
The development of machines,
plus encouragement in the past
to Investment, invention, initia-
tive, thrift and industriousness
(all part and parcel of The
American Way"O have made this
possible.
So, the next time you hear
someone sneer about profits,
quote him the aforegoing facts
that prove conclusively that the
hope of profits creates the in
centive that makes our American
economy tick for the benefit of
US all.

Biologists Seek
Gas In Northern
Part Of County

Exploration for natural gas in
the Negro mountain section of Gar
rett county is being conducted by
Geophysical Service, of Dallas,
Texas. The company is engaged in
seismograph operations to secure
information for an unnamed client.
Work has been in progress since
December
Most of the land involved is owned
by Snee and Eberly, a Uniontown
partnership which has been actively
engaged in gas exploration and
production here for a number of
years.
What the specialists are seeking
is contrasts in rock layers which
may indicate the position of ma
tural gas.
Before the service begins Oper-
! ationS, it was pointed out, it OBJ
tainS permission from owners of
land being surveyed. Such permits
sion was granted several days ago
by the State Department of For
ests and Parks when the eXplora-
tons carried the crew onto state
/ forest land.
Permission was obtained from
District Forester William II. John
son.

there was no one to listen.
1t is possible. say some SCI
entistS. that they always will be
critical Of whatever is being done
for science. and that this criticism
is a sign in itself Of good health.
For the true scientist is trained
to pay attention to every detail:
his temperament drives him to
ask whether there is not some
better way to do things. He is
always going to be destructive of
the old. and looking for. something
new, and It is an understatement
to say that the average scientist
likes to be critical.
Analytical criticism is his bust

But science. they point out, can
