Better have all your insurance checked
NOW by this agency.
If YOU expect to be paid for damage to
your home, your household goods, or
your automobile, be sure to get your in-
surance before a loss occurs.
THAT'S EASY! Electricity is your No. 1 Bargain today
because electric rates have remained at PRE-WAR lev-
els, while everything else has gone up and up.
How has this been possible? Because folks have
been using more and more electricity all along. So far,
this has enabled us to offset rising operating costs and
keep the unit price of electricity down.

SPELLING DECLINE
AUSTIN.—Decreased emphasis
spelling in elementary grades
causing a decline in high school stu-
dents’ spelling ability, Dr. Fred C.
Ayer, University of Texas distin-
guished professor of educational ad-
ministration, says.
Dr. Ayer discovered the decline in
his 1950 national survey similar to
1915 and 1925 investigations. In 1915,
for example, 100 percent of the ninth
grade pupils tested spelled “trouble”
right. In 1925, 95 . percent spelled it
correctly, and in 1950 only 91 percent
could spell the word. ■

WASHINGTON.—Senator Lyndon
B. Johnson checked up this week and
found that in the fiscal year ending
June 30, Texas will receive about
$125,000,000 in federal grants under
various. programs.
The figure doesn’t include millions
of dollars spent oil flood control and
navigation projects. The estimated al-
locations for the year ending June 30
are about the same as those made in
fiscal 1950, which ended last June 30.
The amount in 1950 was about 5 per-
cent over the figures for fiscal 1949.
The old age assistance program ac-
counted for the largest portion. Tex-
as’ allocation for the current fiscal
year for this program is $60,035,000.
The 1950 allocation was $59,889,464;
in 1949 it was $55,067,370.

WASHINGTON.—A group of lead-
ing economists Sunday called for
“realistic” economic mobilization
based on pay-as-you-go taxation and
a labor-management “truce” in the
contest of bargaining power and price
pressures.
The government should apply curbs
on inflationary bank credit and let in-
terest rates rise to discourage easy-
money borrowing, said the four mem-
bers of the economic stabilization
committee of the non-profit Twen-
tieth Century Fund.
Their study described the present
wage and price freeze as a stop-gap.
It predicted that direct controls can
not survive unless there is “far bet-
ter support” in the form of tighter
tax, credit and money policies.
Some consumer rationing was seen
as possible on a few items seen as
possible on a few items like meat. But
rationing is “very expensive in man-
power” and should be used only in
cases of the greatest inequity or se-
rious black markets, the economists
said.
The four are John Maurice Clark,
Columbia University professor, chair-
man; Arthur Smithies, chairman of
economics at Harvard; Theodore W.
Schultz, chairman of economics at
Chicago University, and Donald H.
Wallace of Princeton University.
The report declared that the $16,-
000,000,000 in new taxes expected to
be asked by President Truman should
be considered a minimum boost. It
can be obtained by an increase of as
much as $10,000,000,000 in income
taxes, $4,000,000,000 in corporation
rates, and the rest in new excises, the
report said
“If in the future more revenue is
required, the Federal Government
will have to resort to new broad-
based taxation such as a new retail
sales tax,” the committee added.
_______________________ J
A Dallas surgeon, Dr. Paul Wil-
liams, had good news this week for
i folks who sit in a slight slump, and
who forget to stick out their chest
when walking.
He blamed most of the low-back
pain which plagues about 60 percent
of all grown-ups on “erroneous idea
about correct posture.”
In a speech to the American Acad-
emy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Dr. Wil-
liams advised that people should as-
sume a slight slump when sitting and
forget that old miltary strut when
walking.
An Associated Press story reported
his speech at some length:
“For generations we’ve all been
harped at to throw our shoulders
back, throw out our chests and sit
perfectly straight in our chairs. From,
old military circles we’ve inherted
the idea that a strut attitude is good
posture.
“Actually these are devastating
habits because they disregard anato-
mical facts.”
Such habits tend to accent a hollow
in the back, which has evolved from
man’s need to balance himself up-
right with a spine not entirely ade-
quate for the purpose, Dr. Williams
went on.
Unless we do everything possible to
keep that hollow at a minimum, cer-
tain joints and shock-absorbing cush-
ions in the lower back can be ad-
versely affected, and pain results.
He had these suggestions:
Sit slightly slumped so your spine
describes a moderate curve instead of
being somewhat S-shaped. Sit on a
low chair, so your knees are higher
than your hips.
When you walk, place your chest
forward by creasing your belly
slightly — walk somewhat as you
would if you were climbing a hill.
Never lead with your belly in walk-
ing or standing.
Placing the chest slightly forward
“in a position of forward action” is
entirely different from sticking the
chest out and throwing back the
shoulders. The latter actions should
be avoided in both standing and
walking.
When you sleep, curl yourself up
either on the side or on the back with
knees propped up. Never sleep on
your tummy unless you place a pillow
under it.
With America’s manhood being
called up faster and faster, and every
prospect of total mobilization and to-
tal war, millions of famlies must
plan now to live on service pay and
government allowances. What can a
serviceman’s family expect in the
way of allotments? And what will
the serviceman hirriself have left aft-
er his contribution has been de-
ducted? Redbook Magazine has com-
piled a complete, simple chart to show
how the so-called Class Q allotment
system will work for every rank,
length of service, and'number of de-
pendents. In the February issue of
the magazine, J. Robert Moskin ex-
plains the chart and the changes in
the law since World War II.
“The new law provides for larger
checks than did regulations during
World War II. A wife and two chil-
dren of a man in the lower grades
now receives ,$125 a month, compared
to $100 before. But the new act also
has two less attractive features: it
helps support only three dependents
per serviceman, and it restricts bene-
fits to a man’s immediate family,
omitting dependent brothers, sisters,
and grandparents.
“The Government contributes $45
a month for servicemen in the lower
grades with one dependent, $67.50 a
month for men in the higher grades
with one dependent, $67.50 a month
for all men with two dependents, and
$85 for all with three dependents. To
get this Government contribution, the
serviceman must add part of his basic
pay, varying according to his grade.
Men in the lowest grades contribute
$40, in the next two grades $60 and in
the two highest $80.
“Thus, dependents of men in the
highest grades received a combined ‘
total from Government and service-
men of $165 a month. This is the most
an enlisted man’s dependents can re-,
ceive. Officers are supposed to sup-
port their families without additional
Government help.”

The Bituminous Coal Institute re-
cently published an interesting graph
showing the changes that have taken,
place in the earnings of the miners.
In the 1935-39 period, soft coal,
miners average $22.16 a week. This
.was almost exactly the same as the
average for all manufacturing indus-
try. $22.42.
In 1944, for the first time, the soft '
coal miners' pay showed a substantial
edge over that for all manufacturing
—$57.27 as against $46.08.
By 1948, the miners’ weekly pay-
checks reached the average figure of
$72:12, as compared with $54.14 foi'
all manufacturing. In 1949, the min-
ers’ pay was down to’an average of
$63.28, primarily because a three-day
week was in effect for part of the
year. However, this was still far
above the level for all manufacturing,
which was $54.92. Average hourly
earnings in that year were $1,941,
while the average for other compar-
able industry was $1,401.
Last year, coal production was some
506,000,000 tons—15.6 percent over
the 1949 production. It will rise ina-
terially again this year. Here is one
of the industries which is efficiently
