GOLDEN YEARS

The blessings of Social Sc

Years. 1t is because Social
Security is such an integral
part of your retirement that
1t is presumed you have al
ready strolled around the

But the disability benefits
Of Social Security are not
well known, particularly
among people approaching
retirement, although they
are among the finest benefits
that have become available
to working men and women
past so. Here are some
pointers.
Disabled workers between
the ages of so and IS can OBJ
tain monthly benefit pay
ments If they qualify under
the Social Security law.
Five Year Rule
To qualify, a person must
have worked under Social
Security for at least five
years. These five years could
have been at any time dur
ing the 10-year period pre-
ceding the disability. MANY
accountants, architects, fu-
neral directors, engineers
and others who came under
Social Security for the first
time in January, 1855. are
qualified to apply in october
of this year,
To be eligible for monthly
payments, a person must
have a disability which is so
severe that it makes you

must be a physical or mental
condition that is expected to

DEAR ABBY: Nineteen
months ago I married a girl
who was a captain in the
WAFS. Since her enlistment
was indefinite, she promised
to get in a family way so she
could be automatically dis
charged.
A month after our mar
riage she was sent to Labra-
dor for a year. I asked her
to resign her commission so
We could live together. She
claimed she applied, but was
turned down.
After her year, she re-
turned to the States and was
stationed 40 miles from me,
but she made no effort to get
home. I've tried everything
to get her to live with me,
but it's no use. I've even
threatened divorce, but she
says the Soldiers and Sailors
Relief Act protects her
against divorce. I'd like a
normal home life, or else I'd
like to get rid Of her. This is
no marriage. Can you help
me? M. B. S.

This increase is due mainly to
increased production of livestock
and livestock products. Partial
crop production figures appear ex-
tremely favorable for the 1858 corn
and soybean crops. It is predicted
that the total income from last
years farm marketings may reach
an all-time high.
Another important factor infiu-
encing agriculture's durability is
the more stable farm real estate
market The Dean said fewer farms
changed hands in 1858 and the
farm real estate values increased
only two percent in the first six
months of 1858.

This problem will be solved only
by agricultural technology as il
advances in the area of marketing
and distribution of agricultural
products improving material hand
ling, packaging, and merchandis-
ing at farm, wholesale, and retail
levels.
Speaking of the research program
of the school of agriculture, Dean
Worrilow said the basic research
program has been expanded great
ly, partly as result of the ex.
pansion of the graduate program
Our goal has always been to stab

could consistently solve problems

Mrs. Cam said that many busi-
ness and industrial firms conduct
off-the-job programs. The Dupont
Company, she said, has been one
OF the leaders in that field. Indus
try recognizes, she continued, that
a worker injured in an accident at
home is just as surely lost to his
job as one injured in an accident
at work. Steps should be taken to
prevent both t.ypes of accidents,
Mrs. Cam declared.
The inventory is similar to the

as a highly useful device for set

Increase Your
Income Through
Accident Prevention

Farmers are always looking for
ways to increase their income.
Probably one of the best ways to
do Il Is to reduce farm accidents,
says Ray Lloyd, Associate Agent
Accidents whittle away at farm
machinery, farm labor, and most
important farm income.
Accidents are always looking for
places to happen. If you want to
prevent them from happening, then
you should be looking, too, says
the agent. Sharpen your eye and
wits to discover all possible sourc-
es of accidents on your farm When
you find likely place, take steps
to prevent any mishap. Do it today
for tomorrow may be too late.
Another good way to prevent
accidents is to get in the habit OF
doing things the safe way. While
you are getting this good habit
why not teach it to everyone else
who lives or works on your farm.
Some accidents happen even on
the safest of farms. Howt:ver, you
can reduce the serioukness of any
accident by being PREPARED. KeeT
well stocked first aid kit, handy
and more important-know how to
use 1t.
How about those fire extinguish-
ers? If they are not working, you
better get them fixed or buy some
new ones. Remember, a good fire
extinguisher can stop small fire
before it puts you out of business
says Mr.. Lloyd.
Remember, the nation depends
upon you for its food supply and
you depend upon the nation for
ysur income. Safe farming will in
crease the benefits to both of you
