DEPENDABILITY

Dependability is a trait in human beings
which is often underrated and which should
be cultivated by every young man and woman
and others too, for that matter.
TodayS young men and women can take
a job or leave it, and be fired from one job
and find another, and can usually find way
to obtain enough money to get by on, one
way or the other. All of this is good, except
for the fact that an easy life does not neces-
sarily build character.
We have seen that soft, easy living has
prevented Americas youth from being good
physical specimens. Recent tests involving
both American and European boys show that
the Europeans are in far better physical
shape than we are. So, we must conclude that
an easy life does not develop the qualities of
self-snfficiency and dependability as widely
as these characteristics are developed in
tougher times.
Perhaps it is better to have the easy times
and the advantages that go with them rather
than tight times. 1t is nevertheless desirable
to see the present generation develop the
qualities of reliability and dependability
which so many older people seem to have. 1t
will be noted that many of the top executives
in the business world are far more eager to
perform personal service for small profit
than many of today's youngsters who seem
to lack the fire and the will to please that are
so necessary if one is to say on top during
both good times and bad

CHALLENGE TO AMERICA

President Eisenhower was entirely right
when he said that there was nothing in the
state of the nations defense science and
economy to warrant any morbid pessim-
ISM" It is gratifying to know that the
President intends to spell out the reasons
for his confidence in a series of addresses to
the nation. The resurgence of strength in the
stock market following that announcement
was an indication of how much the country
needs good dose of confidence.
The Soviet launching of Sputnik, and that
events implications in the fields of science
and military preparedness, have shaken the
people of the United States more than little.
The stock market decline since Sputnik be-
gan orbiting has not helped matters. Yet it
is evident that, despite these rude shocks to
our equilibrium, we still can speak to the
world from position of great strength. To
a considerable extent it is true, as President
Roosevelt once said in a different context,
that the only thing we have to fear is fear
itself.
President Eisenhower's reports to the
nation ought to go long way toward allevi-
ating fears that our economy, our defense
machinery and our scientific prowess may be
seriously lacking. That will be all TO the
good. In making his report, however, the
President would do well to avoid any tenlpta-
ton TO suggest that all is well ana CnaL tnefe
is nothing to worry about.
All is not well. There are things to worry
about. If ever there was time when the
facts about these things needed to be laid on
the line, that time is now. If ever there was
a time when the nation needed leadership to
assess those facts and to act wisely and
strongly in the light of them, that time is
now.
The nation is not so much lacking in con-
fdence as it is lacking in full understand
ing of the situation that now confronts us.
What we need is not soothing 'all's well, >
but challenging call to endeavor. Events
have presented the chief executive with a
striking opportunity to issue such a chal-
lenge If he does so, the American people
will surely respond to it with vigor and
courage.

THE SHORT DAYS


With the coming of November we exper-
ience the arrival of shorter and shorter days,
which will continue until December 21st.
We all know that the days grow shorter
until the Winter Solstice but many of us
do not know that they are much shorter in
the northern part of the United States than
they are in the southern. For example, the
calendar for Boston shows that at the Win
ter Solstice the sun rises at z: :26 a. m. and
sets at 4: 81 p. m.
The calendar for Charleston, South Caro-
lima, which is used by Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico,
the sun rises at 6 58 a. m. and sets at 4 :58
p m.
In other words, the sun rises thirty min
utes earlier in Charlestown than in Boston
and sets almost that much later. Roughly
speaking, there will be an hour more day.
light in Charleston on December 21St than
in Boston.
The difference is even greater for point
in Maine as compared with point in south
ern Florida. Many pilots, flying north dur
ing the short days of winter and hoping to
make their destination before dark, have
found that they are flying into shorter day
and, thereby, fail to achieve their goal.
For astronomers, the month of Novem-
Der is also interesting The major planets Of
the solar system are in the following posi-
tions Mercury is invisible Venus is bright
and high in the western sky after sunset
Mars will rise about an hour before the sun
and Jupiter will rise just before Mars. Saturn
rises and sets with the sun.
The Big Dipper sinks as low in the north
ern horizon in November as it ever does
during the year In the southern part of the
country only the bowl of the dipper can be
seen TO advantage even on clear NIGHTS.

NEW FIELDS TO CONQUER

General MacArthur's famous remark
that old soldiers never die is reminiscent of
the durability of many Federal bureaus.
Once established they seldom either die or
fade away. Unlike old soldiers to whom the
country owes a lasting debt, they thrive on
uselessness and become an unjustified drain
on taxpayers. The Rural Electrifcation Ad-
ministratiOn is good example.
In 1885, when REA was set up, only 1913
per cent of the farms in the country were re-
ceiving central station electricity. Today as
a result of private electric company and
REA action, the job of farm electrifcation
is 95 per cent complete.
The general manager of the National Ru-
raj Electrical Cooperative Association points
out that the agricultural revolution has made
farmers minority group in the rural COM
munity and that this year marks the end of
the farm electrifcation era" and the begin
ming Of the rural electriication era" There
fore, this government agency which has full
filled its purpose is not winding up its af-
fairs, but is casting about for new fields to
conquer. In Indiana few REA cooperatives
have placed before the Rural Electrification
Administration request for a S42 million
loan which would enable them to build power
generating plants in a state already ade-
quately supplied with reasonably priced cleo
trio power.
Speaking against the proposal, the Gov
ernor of Indiana said: at would also enable
them to duplicate existing service lines of
private utilities which are providing suffi-
cient service throughout the state. . We in
Indiana regard this as fantastic and unreas-
enable and an invasion of private and local
rights by federal paternalism."
This is another back-door entrance by
socialism and if it succeeds, one more block
will have been knocked from the foundation
of individual opportunity and political indie
pendence

FAMOUS FABLES
By z. e. EDGAR

DOUBLE DUTY: French
statesman Georges Clemenceau
was educated as a physician.
When he entered politics, he
was still practicing medicine.
He soon became so important
in the political world, how
ever, that his Office was FREE
quented by as many politicians
as patients.
One morning, when Clemen-
ceau arrived. he found three
men waiting for him in the
reception room. He called the
first man into the examining
room. the door OF which he left
ajar. He told the man to dis
robe and then examined him.
A half hour later. the Sec
ond man was called in and the
same procedure was followed.
Observing this, the third man
removed his clothing as soon
as he entered. Clemenceau
picked up his instruments and
prepared to examine him.

The reassessment OF Wash

completed by July l. 1858, q
District official said last night.
Speaking at a meeting OF the
Hawthorn Citizens Association
Kenneth Back. Washington's
finance officer and assessor.
said the main purpose Of the
reassessment, which was started
in 1855, is to distribute the
burden of real estate taxes
equitably."
Despite the Federal Govern
ment's vast land holdings in
the District. Washington's real
estate taxes compare favorably
with Maryland and Virginia.
Mr. Back said.
4 don't think the District
taxpayer is in a bad way when
compared with nearby areas"
he explained. pointing out that
the real estate tax rate in
Montgomery County is a little
higher than Washington's
while Virginia's tax is slightly
lower. Prince Georges rate is
similar to the Districts, he
said.
Washington property owners.
Mr.. Back said. will be informed
lof their new assessment when
the inspectors have completed
their estimates next year.
The finance officer told asso-
citation members that very little
change is anticipated in assess
ments in their area.

SECURITY FOR YOU
Survivors,
Documents
Required
BY RAY HENRY

1t was in 1889 that Ben
Franklin wrote q letter to a
friend:
I'm this world nothing is
certain but death and taxes .
He didn't have Social Secu-
rity in mind when he wrote IL.
But. II he made such q remark
today in a local Social Security
office. chances are the response
would be.
Maybe so, but before we
make any Social Security sur
vivors payments we've got to
have some proof Of the death. /"
And. II Ben showed any signs
Of arguing, he'd probably have
the regulations quoted him,
Here, in essence, is what he'd
| find out:
II q person applies for pay
ments' based on the Social Sc
curity record Of someone who
has died. the person must show
some proof Of the death and
give some details Of the cir
cumstances surrounding 1t.
Types Of Evidence
The kind Of evidence the So
cial Security wants is.
/. A certified copy Of thu
public record of death. a coro.
ner's report Of the death. 9
report of the verdict OF the
coroner's jury Of the State OF
city where the death occurred
or a certified statement Of the
contents Of the record Of
death; or
2. A statement of the funeral
director. attending physician
or intern Of the institution
where the death occurred: OF
3. A certified copy Of an ON
cial report made by any agency
Of the United States which i:
authorized to make such a re-
port under any law Of the
United States. tFor example: A
report Of the Army Of the
death Of one Of its men,
The Social Security Admin
istration is aware that it is not
always possible for a person to
show an Official or semi -ofhcisl
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-10-10

report Of death such as those
listed above.
So. it says that II no such
evidence is available. q person
may submit:
/. The signed statements OF
two or more persons, having
personal knowledge of the
death. setting forth the facts
and circumstances as to the
place. date. and cause Of death:
or
2. Other evidence which
would tend to substantiate the
death.
The Social Security peapIe
also have a couple Of rules on
proving death when q person
dies outside the United States
or when a person disappears
and isn't heard from again.
II death occurs outside the
United States. the Social Sc
curity Administration requires
a report Of the death by a
United States consul or some
other agent of the State De-
partment. The report must bear
the signature Of the consul or
agent and his official seal.
Presumed Death
II a person has been unex-
plainedly absent from his home
and unheard OF for q period OF
seven years. the Social Security
Administration will presume the
person has died. 1t win do so
however. only after the facts
surrounding the absence are
established.
For example: The letter be-
low Just wouldn't be enough
TO prove its point. It actually
was received by Social Securi-
ty Office:
Dear Sirs: Everybody here is
sure that Sam Is dead. We and
the police looked everywhere
for him. He was very regular
and we could always count or
where he was If he wasn't
home. At Johnny's Stag Bal
they said they knew he'd wall
in the door at $40 on the dol
every night. But he never came
in that night. so / know he
must be dead"

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Eunice weakens the validity
OF her argument against early
marriage by the recital OF the
sacrifices she has made for
Gerald. She shows she expects
him to make up to her for all
her Illustration. She would hate
to be charged with selfish love.
but there is no other word
for it.
Eunice should try to recog-
nize that her sacrifice" was
not real one-only a gesture.
II two people agree to remain
together -for the sake Of a
child" they must do more than
live under one roof together.
They must work to create an
atmosphere Of love IN which a
child can grow into his own
individuality - without the
sense Of having TO fulfill his
parents needs.
The question of whether or
not Gerald should marry at
this time is entirely separate
from the background his
mother describes. II Gerald
and Jean are two very unusual
individuals. they may have the
maturity to choose a mate
wisely and TO follow through
with the ambitious program
they have set. The chances are.
