sidered carefully and the
scholarships should be given on
ly for the education of the stu
dent in the direction for which
he or she is fitted.
Scholarships And Politics
Unless the above scholarship
policy is followed, Government
aid to education may do more
harm than good This applies to
the building of fancy schools,
and government aid to colleges.
There are too many brass
hats" amongst college profess
sors. as there are in the Navy
and Army.
This scholarship progr
would not rule out higher edu-
cation for children whose par
ents are anxious to have their
youngsters get college diplomas,
irrespective of their adaptability.
They could still be sent to pri-
vate schools and colleges to
graduate and go into some bust
ness or profession for which they
are not fitted. This is done to-
day, and should always be pos
Sible.
Instinct And Experience
Two final questions for US all
to consider are these: % For
our children, does success de-
pend more. on education or up
on natural instinct and exper-
fence? (2) Are they naturally
lazy or are they ambitious?
One final thought: Parents
can take out insurance which
will greatly help their children
get the equivalent of schol-
arship whether or not the col
lege or the government gives
one.

That air photo was shown by

Work And Draw
Your Social
Security Too

Is there law that says you
can't work and draw your social
security retirement benefits
too? The answer is mol"
Many people believe that you
can't work at all after you be-
gin to draw Social Security.
Well, they are wrong.
The law says that you can
earn up to $1,000 each year
without losing any Of your bene-
fit checks. It also says that if
you earn over $1,000 your benefit
will be affected in this way:
You will have 81 in Social Sc
curlty benefits deducted for
every 50 that you earn between
$1,000 and $1,000. And for every
81 you earn over $1,000 you will
have 81 in benefits deducted.
This means that if you were
receiving a social security bene-
tit of $500 each month. you
could earn $4,000 by working and
still be able to draw $3.50 in So

Bobby Tightening Hold Party's Purse Strings:

Defense Secretary McNa-
nara has r e ct d a recon-
mendation by a Defense De-
partment task force that the
departments civilian scientists
and engineers in research and
development work be removed
from civil service coverage.
The recommendations, made
spme time ago, have come to
light only now.
The task force felt that the
departments difficulties in at
tracing and retaining the best
possible people for scientific
and engineering work in the
all-important research and de-
velepemnt program would be
sOlVed by placing them in a
rlon-civil service status.
THE argument was that this
would give the d epartm e n t
more leeway in setting pay
scales and offering other in
dncements to these employees,
Of whom there are m any
thousands in the department.
However. the Civil Servic e
Commission was strongly OPP
posed to the proposal. 1t point
ed out that Federal profess
sional pay scales are set by
Congress, regardless of whether
employees are under civil serv-
ice!
iCSC officials declared that
removal of these employees
from civil service would not
splve anything and would in
fact make things worse. They
argued that more a dequate
Government pay scales, greater
training and research oppor-
ttnitieS for these employees,
more leeway in paying recruit
ihg. travel expenses, etc., would
help solve the problems.
