pull trailer from a shed and thru
an obstacle course and then back
down a lane which has a limited
clearance. In addition to this, each
moved a wheel wagon from a shed
and backed 1t into another which
had only a inch clearance. There
was also a written exam with ques-
tions about repair, maintenance and

Changes Disclosed In
Social Security Law

The new amendments to the soc
ial security law, signed by Presi
dent Kennedy last week, give men
early benefit rights similar to those
women have had since 1856.
The change applies to men be
tween 81 and 65 years of age, and
is designed especially to help those
who are unable to find employment
because of their age or poor health
A man now 81 to 65 years of age
can start receiving benefits with
the month of August. But if he
retires before he reaches age IS,
the monthly amount of benefit paid
to him is reduced. He will continue
to be paid the reduced amount even
after he reaches 65.
Dependent widowers and the de-
pendent fathers of workers who
have died also can get benefits at
age 81. Their benefits, like those
of widows and dependent mothers,
are not reduced.

Non-Farm Economy
Aided BY Agriculture

It's time agriculture tells its
critics what 1t has really accom-
plished. says w. T. McAllister, ex-
tension economist with the Uni
versity of Delaware School of Ag-
riculture. He believes that the 80
per cent, non-farm part of our
economy, has benefited perhaps
at the expense of the farmer. He
cites these examples.
At the turn of the century, the
average farmer produced food
enough for himself and six others.
By 1880 he produced only enough
for himself and nine others. To-
day the average farmer produces
enough food to feed himself and
"a other people. This means that
only one-tenth of Americas labor
force is needed to produce our
super-abundant food supply. The
other nine-tenths of the work force
has been released from farm pro-
duction to produce the other
things we want and enjoy besides
food, such as automobiles, televis-
ion and household conveniences.

Jobs of skilled workers were safe,

In Dover making preparations to

Robert X. Dunning. manager Of
the Unemployment Compensation
Commissions Dover office, said a
representative OF Hayes Aircraft
Company, of Birmingham, Ala, was
In Dover making arrangements
to take on former Air Mod Corpor-
alton workers. if his company re-
ceives the new contract.
Hayes was one of three lowest
bidders submitting proposals to the
San Bernardino Air Material Com
mand, Travis Air Force Base, Cali
fornia, for fiscal 1861 81. Air Mod,
a subsidiary of Cook Electric Com
pany. Chicago. was not.
Air Mod had held the previous
contract for maintenance of the
giant C-124 transport planes based
at Dover, and fear had been ex-
pressed that the work would be
transferred from Dover.
However, the Delaware solons
stated they had received assurance
that the work would be done at
Dover, no matter who the contrac-
tor might be. and that the skilled
aircraft workers could be sure of
their jobs.
The new contract was scheduled
to be awarded Monday of this week
and work on the first aircraft to
begin July IA, Mcdowell said.
Only management and supervis-
ory personnel are expected to be
affected by the switch in contract
ors. Mcdowell said.
The Hayes official in Dover was
identified as Albert NJ Wynn. assis-
tant manager for industrial rela-
tons.
