ment of Public Welfare. Provi-
sions were made for the Depart
ment to be under direction Of a

lance under the program-then

cred an applicant in her own right

Here's another help to farmers:
If you rent out your farm on cash
or crop shares but still participate
materially in the farm manage
ment by agreement with the ten
ant, your share of the farm in

older farmers can halfway retire
now and still pile up larger Social
Security credits for when they
really quit later on.

He said:
1.-THE program which they have
sponsored and which has brought

perity, the peace which we have
SO long sought and the progress
We are now making in so many
fields of endeavor. is in a sense
the best description I know Of
modern Republicanism. The
Republicanism for which they
stand is a Republicanism found
ed on the same PRINCIPLES to
which Lincoln and Mckinley and
Taft gave their allegiance. But
it is Republicanism which is
alive and responsive to the needs
of our people as those needs are
understood and expressed to-
day"

was known.
"And So" the chairman told
the Nebraska audience. lust as
Lincoln in his day was modern
Republican. and Mckinley in his
day was a modern Republican, so
too, was Senator Taft in his day
a modern Republican.
Then what does modern Re-

In the first major exposition
of his own political philosophy
since assuming the Republican
craftsmanship, Mr.. Alcorn told
an audience at Lincoln. Nebr.,
that the G. o. p. welcomes those
who believe in fundamental
party principles though they
may differ among themselves
on the way to achieve goals "the
people have set for us"
Principles the Same
Mr.. AlcoEn's theme was that
the fundamental principles to-
day are the same as they were
in the time of Abraham Lincoln,
during the administration of
President William Mckinley and
the days of Senator Robert A..
Taft. But, he observed, condi-
tons change.
I'VE cannot survive as a
party" he declared. IF We are
to believe that simple, blind
adherence to the fundamental
principles of Republicanism will
alone win elections for us. These
principles have to be made alive.

First Modern Republican
Abraham Lincoln was then,

publican" the chairman said y
He believed that his party, the
Republican Party. had to be

General Speaks
To Group Here

The work of physically
handicapped people today in
the United States was dis
cussed yesterday by Maj. Gen.
Melvin Mas, USING, retired.
Gen. Mas is the Chairman
of the Presidents Committee
on the Employment of the
Physically Handicapped. He
spoke at the noon workshop OF
the Women's Auxiliary OF the
Episcopal Church of Washing
ton. The luncheon meeting
took place at St. Adams
Church.
The speaker pointed out
that no other country in the
world does as much for this
group of people as the United
States. He added that the
handicapped had made great
strides in industry and that
fears Of absenteeism and high
workman's compensation in
surance rates had been proven
unfounded.
Gen. Mas said that the job
Of the American people is to
form community committees
in cities where possible to help
this cause. He added that the
vocational training OF one Of
these people costs about $500
a year and that therefore the
job for the person must justify
the training.

cluded the da Settignano
sculpture, and worked out a
plan for styling.
In order to achieve the best
results, Verne discovered, when
working out her design prob
lem. that the hair has to be of
a good texture in order to use
any sculptured theme. Head
shape is very important par
ticularly where a fitted hair
style is contemplated.
And most important of all
to the hair artist the face
must fit the hairstyle and vice
versa. THE thing I liked so
much about the little boys
hairdo is that 1t was casual,
like it could have just hap
pened." she told us.
I'VE all try to have our
hair look organized and natu-
raj looking" Verne continued.
YOU'D be surprised how
much you can learn in a mu-
scum about something you
take so much for granted"
says Verne.
And that's how one new
hairstyle was found right here
in the National Gallery Of
Art.

Praises Volunteers
The reason for his praise is
the volunteer work members of
the League are doing at the
Smithsonian. This famous
museum does not provide tours
for the visitors and so the
League came up with the idea
of picking two subjects, writ
ing the narrative and stating
volunteers to take school chill
