u. S. LOAN TO LIBERIA
TO help BUILD HOSPITAL

A loan of At million dollars
for Liberia by the Agency for
international Development will
make possible the construction
of hospital and training facili-
ties for a National Medical Gen.
ter in Monrovia.
The loan, announced by Ed
mond C. HUTCHINSON, AID Re-

construction of 250-bed gen.
eral and training hospital for
impatient and out-patient medi-
cal care, as we'll as paramedical
training facilities and dormi-
tory space for 75 nurses, sani-
tarians and medical technici-
ans. These new facilities will
be added to an existing 100-bed
maternity center to comprise
the National Medical Center.
The Government of Liberia is
undertaking the project with the
assistance of the AID loan in
order to develop a long-range
program of paramedical train
ing specifically designed to
meet the medical and health
problems of Liberia as a whole.
According to current estimates,
there are fewer than $50 para
medical personnel available to
serve Liberals poplation of one

Social Security
Information
For Farmers

Within the past IL months
many farmers in Mississippi
have failed to qualify for social
security benefits, according to
John F. Pate, Manager of the
Jackson Social Security District
Office. He explained that these
farmers did not qualify because
they had failed to file tax re-
turns on income from produce
raised on their farms and sold.
Some farmers in Mississippi
have the mistaken idea that they
don't have to file tax returns
and pay social security taxes.
This is wrong, according to Mr..
Pate. Farmers came under Soc
ial security in 1866. Farm pro-
fits Of $400 or more are cover
cd by social security. A farmer
must report them, even though
he may not have to pay any
income tax for the year. A
farmer who doesn't have q pro-
fit Of $40O can also get social
security credit for the year if
he had gross income Of at least
5000. In this case he can report
2/3 Of his total farm sales as q
profit. Under this optional
method, no more than $1,000 can

MUCH TALK,
NO BRAINS
JOSEPH F. ALBRIGHT

red while on a fishing TRIP rev
years ago that has a deep signi-
fiance now. Two Of my friends
and l were being guided by an
aged Indian to a spot on a lake
where he had promised some un-
usual catches. He had cautioned
us against any unnecessary
noise when we had arrived at
our destination. However, as the
time passed we became more
and more talkative. After hav-
ing shown his displeasure sew
eral times with glances of open
annoyance, the guide finally
could take it no longer and
bluntly said, "Much talk, no
brains"
As a small child, learned a
rhyme that frequently comes to
mind these days.
"There was an old owl
That lived in an oak,
And the more he saw
The less he spoke.
The less he spoke
The more he heard,
That's why the owl
Is the wisest bird"
Interesting conversation is
one thing. but inane yakety-yak
is something entirely different.
l can think of nothing that can
contribute less to the solution of
our day by day problems than
Incorporate and unsubstantiat-
ed statements. Too frequently
such vocal bilges carry an in
flamatory overtone. This is all
too true in discussions involv-
ing the racial relations welfare
of our great state.
The very first step toward the
maintenance of the vitally nec-
essary lines of friendly commun-
ication between ourselves {.
interracially, that is is to
studiously refrain from undue,
ceaseless, confusing and, above
all, uncharitable comment. Such
unfortunate talk can only result
in handicapping the sincere ef-
forts of those splendid Missis-
sippians who are striving day
and night to keep these lines
open. There is far too much at
stake to allow the waters of ra-
cial peace to be muddied by this
needless burden. Each day !
find myself being more and
more careful as to what have
to say in this regard, and get
ting as far away from the max
ing of curbstone statements as
l possibly can. I have been most
successful in shutting up blab-
bermouths when l sternly de-
mand proof for what is obvious
ly little more than sociological
and verbal garbage.
/ propose to remind myself
that silence is golden virtue.
l will make every effort to
come up with something con-
structive when my voice is to be
heard in the comment on the
welfare and status of my fell
low Mississippians, but beyond
that point I am going along
with the program Of the old owl.
1t will be an unforgiveable
and tragic thing if we create a
tower of Babel from the stones
of a disruptive talkathon which
will come crashing down upon
us to the everlasting delight of
those who seek to profit by our
racial dissolution.

office Of one Of my dearest
friends is this plaque, chock
