The Three Bellies of Olive


Our beloved American poet,
Edgar Allen Poe, would have
described these three young
maidens of Olive in his own
chosen words, ''fair, radiant and
rare"
One was a platinum blonde, so
fair she was almost an Albino.
She was as modest as she was
beautiful. Her low soft voice was
never raised and she had a kind
and sweet disposition. Always
was she neat and trim, as i'm
maculately groomed from head
to toe as though she had just
stepped out of a bandbOX. Her
manners seemed almost shy. This
was charming Eta Frankenberg.
Another was radiant red
head. She had rosy dimpled
cheeks, and her tWinkling eyes
seemed to continuously smile.
She had everything in the right
places! At every party she was
a lively, jolly funmaker - the
life of the party! Her father,
Taylor, was the proprietor of the
local merchandise store, owned
a saWmill and considerable farm
land. The Oldest original citizen
now living in Olive is her broth
er, Homer. This was popular
SADIE Cunningham.
Still another was a VivaciouS
brunette with long heavy curls
falling over her shoulders. She
lived in a big white house with
flagStone sidewalks, and enter
tanned lavishly with many par
ties for the young folks of her
own age-"the hostess with the
mostess!" This belle of Olive was
so popular she maintained her
own private mailbox in the
Klondyke post office, so named
| because there were other post
offices named Olive. Her box
was always stuffed with billet
doux! Being an only child OF
doting parents she "queened" it
and was frequently referred TO as
the Queen of Olive. This was
lively Bertha Blake.
Home parties were the chief
form of entertainment before
the days of television, radio,
movies, dance halls, night clubs
and "hot spots" These parties
were wholesome, rollicking and
fun-making. Always there was
the song-fest, then an organ and
later the piano. The violin
juice-harp, mouth organ or har-
monica were a part of these
parties.
Each member of the party was
required to perform his own in
| dividual stunt or trick according
to his native talent. Elecutior
was a fine art. There were
amateur magicians, hypotists
clog-dancers, songsters, tricks
terS.

case, then what business has
Uncle Sam to pay the pension?
Fundamentally, the basic
idea of old Age and Sur
vivors Insurance" (Social Sec
urity) is wrong. 1t is compul-
sorry insurance which makes it
contrary to the American
scheme Of things. One Of these
days it is to be hoped that the
whole scheme will be junked,
but until that happy day ar
rives we've got to endure it.
But, in the meantime, let's
make the best of a bad bar
gain. Let's give our senior q i
zens a break-let them have
their Social Security pensions
with no strings attached.
Just contrast this Social
Security treatment of its pen
sioners with that accorded by
a private enterprise company.
When the private company
turns the employ out to pas
ture on pension that employee,
if able, may earn d million dol
lars per year, without the
slightest restriction or curtail-
ment of his company pension.
In the case Of the government
insurance (Social Security
the worker is forced along with
his employer to purchase it;
while, in most cases, the pen
sion plan into which he enters
with a private concern is pure
ly voluntary on his part.
OF course, this absurd limi-
tation of $1,000 per year earn
ings on the Social Security

pensioner, is just another ex-
ample of what happens when
ever government initiates or
takes over a project that be-
longs in the realm of private
endeavor. Governments have
never been able to refrain from
restrictive Bureaucratic rul-
irgs. They just have to let the
people know Who is boss.
This United States of ours
bacl me the worlds most pros
LarOus nation because of the
initiative Of our people. Our
American Capitalistic System
of Free Enterprise puts the
emphasis on incentive. Then,
how in the name of heaven, did
we ever permit the Washing
ton bureaucrats to sabotage in
centive for our elder citizens?
And how much longer are we
going to put up with such
nonsense?
In the majority of cases, the
Social Security pensions fall
far short Of meeting the sub
SiStent needs of the pensioner.
And in many more cases, those
pensions plus $1,000 earnings
per year still are inadequate to
permit THE pensioner to live
through the declining years in
comfort.
Only a few crack-pots have a
kind word to say about this
$1,000 per year limitation. This
columnist has heard no ra-
tional person speak favorably
about it. The vast majority of
the American people are
"agin" it-and are quite vocal
in denouncing it. Unfortun-
ately most of the complaints
are made in the wrong quart
ers. This volume of protest
should be channeled TO where
it can accomplish something
to Washington.
Why not put down this
newspaper, reach for paper,
envelope and pen, and write
your Congressman that this
unfair restriction on Social
Security pensioners must be
repealed-but quickly? If you
are not yet 65 years of age,
don't let that deter you from
taking that action-you'll be
reaching that age one of these
fine days, and it'll be a much
finer day for you if there are
no strings on your Social Sec
urity pension.

RIDICULOUS AND UNFAIR
pV George Peck

By George Peck
Amid a host Of inanities that
stem from the nations capital,
one of the most ridiculous is
the one that limits an indiVid-
ual receiving Social Security
pensions to earning not more
than $1,000 per year. "Ridicul-
Gus" is undoubtedly too mild a
word to describe this unfair
ruling against a vast segment
Of our senior citizens.
1t is estimated that approx
mately 100000 Americans
who have passed the 65-year
mark are enjoying CD Social
Security pensions. About one
sixth or 1,250,O00 of these men
and women, even though they
have passed the out-moded
retirement age of 65 have re-
fused to quit work They con-
tinue to produce for the gen
eral welfare of the cOmmuni-
ties in which they live and for
the nation as a whole. For this
industry on their part they are
Eenalized if they earn over
$1,000 per year.
Now it seems to this column
ist that this matter Of Social
Security pensions resolves it
self down to one Of two things:
Either the recipient Of the pen
sion is entitled to receive it
or he or she has no right to it.
If the former applies, then
what business is it of Uncle
Sans how much the pension
er earns? If the latter is the
