Changes Made In
Social Security

The new amendments to the
social security law, signed by
President Kennedy last week,
give men early benefit rights
similar to those women have
had since 1856.
The change applies to men
between 81 and 65 years of age,
and is designed especially to
nelp those who are unable to
find employment because Of
their age or poor health.
A man now 62 to 65 years Of
age can start receiving benefits
with the month of August. But
if he retires before he reaches
age 65, the monthly amount of
benefit paid to him is reduced.
He will continue to be paid the
reduced amount even after he
teaches 65.
Dependent widowers and the
dependent fathers Of workers
who have died also can G e
benefits at age g. Their bene-
fits, like those Of widows and
dependent mothers, are not re-
iuced
For men who retire early,
the amount by which their ben
efits will be reduced depends
on the number of months for
which they will receive benefits
while still under 65. A worker
who retires and claims his ben
efits as soon as he reaches 81
will qualify for 80 per cent of
the amount that would be pay
able to him at age 65 based on
his average earnings UP until
his retirement. If he waits until
he is 63, he will get 86 2/3 per
cent of his full benefit; and if
he waits until "a, the amount
will be 90 1/3 per cent.
The reductions are figured so

The federal grants provided up
to so per cent of the cost of
rural roads, with appropriations
divided among the states on the
basis of area, population and
post-road mileage.
Initial Appropriation
The first state appropriation
to the Mississippi State High
way Commission was $500 to
cover operations for a two-year
period. Initially, the duties OF
the Commission involved only
the division of federal funds
among the counties, and ad-
vising with the boards of super
visors on road matters.
A 1920 law broadened the
scope of the Commissions work
slightly, and increased its mem
bership from three to eight.
During the same year, the Com
mission began work with the
Boards of Supervisors in plan
ming a system of state highways
The 1922 Legislature autho-
rized the first gasoline tax
which was a levy of one cent
per gallon. The revenue was
divided 40 per cent to the State
Highway Fund and so per cent
to the county where the monies
were collected.
The year 1924 brought about
the first steps in the direction
of a statewide highway sys
tenn when the constitution was
amended to permit the legis-
lature to designate highways
and place them under the su-
pervision of the Highway Com
mission.
By 1925, the state-maintain-
ed highway system had grown
to 1852 miles and the newly
approved federal aid system
totalled 1886 miles.
Then. three years later, the
highway program in Mississippi
faced the threat of a setback
The federal government an
nounced that the state was not
within requirements to qualify
for federal aid and that no allot-
ments would be made after
June so, 1929.
This prompted Governor
Theodore G.. Bilbo into calling
the state legislature into extra

that person may expect to
receive, on an average, about
the same amount if he takes

fore he is IS, or waits until IS.
Members of the immediate
family of a retired worker can
get dependents benefits if the
worker retires at 62 or if he
waits. Eligible dependents in
clude a wife 62 or older, or a
wife at any age if she has in
her care children who are eligi-
bic for benefits. The child of a
retired worker is eligible if he
is under age 18, or if he has
been totally disabled since
childhood.
The Committee on Finance of
the Senate, in recommending
this change in the law, said
THE provision of benefits at age
81 for men will help to allie
viate the hardships faced by
hat group Of men, because of
III health, automation, or other
chronological change, are forced

As we enjoy fresh red-ripe
tomatoes of summer, it's hard
20 believe that tomatoes were
once grown strictly as an orna-
ment in the garden.
Today they rate second only
to potatoes in total vegetable
ales. Each person IN the Unitea
States eats about 81 pounds of
fresh tomatoes and tomato pro-

The Italians broke the super
stitlon that tomatoes were not
good to eat back in the 1500's.
Gradually other European coun-
tries followed suit and by 1900
everyone was eating and enjoy
ing tomatoes except Ameri-
cans. 1t took the popular Creole
foods Of New Orleans to break
down their resistance to toma-

The chairman explained that
the minimum rates will not be

"Corn producers who parti-
cipate in the 1861 feed grain
program will be eligible for
price support on their 1861 pro-

well find that he could put only

under the support program.
Producers of corn who do
not participate int the 1861 feed
grain program of course will
not be eligible for support on
their 1861 corn production.

through February %. 1862.
Loans will mature on July 81.

Highways And Progress
Highways And Progress
Early Equipment No Match For
Modern Highway Construction

Take a ride down a modern,
new highway. Note the wide
shoulders, the easy curves and
long sight distances. Even
though surrounding terrain may
be rugged, the highway flows
smoothly across the country
side.
Contrast this with an old gra-
vel road, narrow, winding, fol-
lowing uphill and down the way
nature laid out the hills and
valleys.
Mississippi has plenty of both
types the modern road built
by veteran highway engineers,
contractors and giant machines
which pay little heed to obsta-
cles; and the gravel and dirt
roads which grew out of ancient
trails.
Horse And BUGGY Roads
A century ago, highway en-
gineering was a matter of find
ing the most practical route
that a horse and buggy could
travel = a ridge line very like
ly. with circuitous detours for
obstacles. Mississippi's topo-
graphy made it impractical to
follow section lines and there
was no thought of such modern
needs. programs, systems and
day terms as standards, traffic
other considerations.
The travel habits of people
were different. Many spent a
lifetime without venturing far
ther from home than the county
seat. Steamboats, still carried
most of the freight. Inland, a
few railroads were replacing the
old ox-wagon supply trains.
Then The Automobile
Road-building equipment at
that time left much to be de-
sired. Horse drawn Scrapers,
shovels and other hand tools
would have made little impact
on modern highway plan.
Introduction of the automobile
in the early 1900s brought about
a new interest in roads Maca-
damized and other hard surface
types began replacing the dirt,
plank, and charcoal. Stone, gra-
vel, ebert, Stag. brick and COM
binations Of these materials, al
though unobtainable in some
sections of the state, were used
in increasing quantities.
During the first Is years of
the goth century, the number
of automobiles increased from
90 to $4,000 while the number
of trucks increased from ten in
1903 to 1000 in 1916.
Fir2t Commission
Despite the growing number
Of automobiles, roads were still
a local problem when the Mis-
sissippi Legislature met in 1916.
The first act authorizing a state
highway commission was pass
ed that year, and a short time
later, the United States Con
gress approved the first federal
aid appropriation. These two
developments broadened tn e
scope Of highway planning and
construction. and paved the way
for our present system of high
ways.
The original Federal Aid Act
also set up the partnership be-
tween federal and state govern
ments which has characterized
road construction since then.
