long enough under social security to
be eligible to have their social secur-
ity records frozen under a 1954 pro-
vision in the law. When a disabled
worker’s record is frozen, the years
when his disability keeps him from
working are not counted against him
in figuring the socal security benefits
due him in the future or payable to
his family in case of his death. Of
the 700,000, about 400,000 people—
those between 50 and 65 years of age
—are eligible for monthly disability
insurance benefits beginning with
July.
Although social security district of-
fices have been accepting applica-
tions from
January 1, 1955, the Bureau reports
that many of those eligible have not
yet applied. Under the law, workers
who were already disabled were giv-
en 2 % years to apply to protect their
social security rights. After June 30,
1957, the end of that 2% year period,
an application will be effective to
freeze a worker’s social security rec-
ord for no more than one year back.
A disabled person must meet cer-
tain work requirements at the begin-
ning of his official “period of dis-
ability.” He must have social secur-
ity credit for at least 5 out of the 10
years before he became disabled, and
at least a year and a half of the cred-
it must have been earned in the three
years just before his official “period
of disability” began.
If application for
freeze” is not made before June 30,
1957, many disabled workers may no
longer meet these work requirements
at the beginning of the earliest “pe-
riod of disability” which can be en-
tered on their social security records.
In this case, they would not be elig-
ible to have their social security rec-
ords frozen, and in addition, they
would be ineligible to receive month-
ly disability insurance benefits at age
50. These disabled workers would
have to wait until regular retirement
age to receive any social security
benefits and those benefits would be
reduced because the years in which
they were unable to work would low-
er the average earnings upon which
their social security benefits are
based. For some younger workers,
delay in making application might al-
so mean a complete loss of all social
security benefit rights.
Disabled workers who believe they
are eligible under these disability
provisions should contact the social
security district office in Sherman.

SOLON WOULD HIKE
CAR CEILING PRICE
WASHINGTON. — Rep. Henry S.
Reuss, D., Wis., urged Congress today
to raise the price ceiling the govern-
.ment now can pay for automobiles.
Reuss told the House Appropria-
tions Committee that the present lim-
it of $1350 should be raised to at least
$1550 “to give independent automo-
bile producers like American Motors
a fair chance to bid for government
business.”
He said the current price was set
two years ago. In the past year, he
said, “Ford and General Motors have
been practically the only bidders.”
vk* \A
People who have become unable to
work because of severe and long-last-
ing disabilities have a new type of
protection under the social security
law, but according to the Bureau of
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance,
which administers the new provis-
ions, many are not applying for their
rights.
For many disabled people, failure
to file an application with their so-
cial security district offices before
the end of June will mean the loss of
all their social security disability
protection, and for some it will also
mean the loss of their rights to any
old-age and survivors insurance ben-
efits for themselves and their fam-
ilies in the future. Should a disabled
worker die without having filed an
application to protect his socal secur-
ity disability rights, the survivors
benefits payable to his family under
the social security law may be great-
ly reduced.
The Bureau says that an estimated
700,000 severely disabled men and

psychologists are exploring
seeking the reasons behind our buy-
ing habits.
A few years back, they point out,
the average American preferred a
solid black car two-to-one over all
other colors.
But today’s free-and-easy times
have brought changes, and one of
them, reported recently by one of the
nation’s leading auto manufacturers,
is the emergence of white as the most
pppular single-tone car on the road.
According to figures released by
Dodge, white now holds the lead over
black.
Psychologists account for the
change by saying that the average
American wants his personal posses-
sions to reflect his personality, point-
ing to the overwhelming demand for
deluxe two-tone combination.

Want Ad the most economical means of finding a
buyer for your unneeded possessions: Livestock,
field seed, farm implements, household goods, pet
animals, poultry, real estate, musical instruments,
jewelry, automobiles and bicycles, or to find a renter
if you have a house, apartment or farm to rent.
You’ll find a Want Ad also effective in locating
strayed livestock, and in finding something you want
to buy.
Cooking is easy as the flick of your wrist when you cook
electrically. Simply put food for a meal in the oven and set
the automatic controls. The oven turns itself on at a pre-set
time, cooks dinner to a perfection, then turns itself off. Your
after-dinner chores are easier, too, with clean, flameless
electric cooking. No more scouring soot or smoke from pots and
pans. Why not cook carefree with a modem automatic
electric range?
The Trillion
Dollar Question
In measuring the efficiency of an
economic system for a nation’s peo-
ple there are two basic questions we
should ask: (1) Does it produce ade-
quate goods and services? and (2)
Does it equitably distribute its goods
and services? Because of the spread
of economic education during recent
years many people today are aware
of the fact that our American private
ownership, free enterprise system
produces 42 percent of the wealth of
- the world although we have only
seven percent of the world’s popula-
tion, only six percent of the land
area, and only a. proportionate share
of the world’s natural resources.
While many Americans are aware
of these facts, a far greater number
are not; and only
share of
sources.
While many Americans are aware
of these facts, a far greater number
are not; and comparatively few can
properly answer our second basic
question—does our system equitably
distribute its production of wealth?
Yes, it does. Its distribution is based
on the contribution each citizen
makes to the production of goods and
services.
Cultivating Distrust
The facts to prove that this is a
satisfactory as well as an equitable
system are not generally known,
however; and this lack of under-
standing permits the Socialist and
Communist propagandists and their
dupes to sow doubt and in some cases
distrust in the minds of millions of
Americans. Doubt and distrust, if
cultivated by the sly schemers, can
be converted into hostility, even
among otherwise good citizens.
Those who want to uproot our
American system seek first to turn
our own people against it. It is
easier then to get socialistic measures
adopted and centralized government-
al power so that a few can rule and
shape the destiny of our 170 million
people. Therefore, let’s examine
some facts which every citizen should
know about the American economic
system’s wide-spread distribution of
wealth—documental facts from the
Department of Commerce.
" Who Got What?
In the 25 years ending with 1955,
the national income in America was
$3 trillion, 780 billion. Who got all
this money? The wage earners and
salaried people got 65 percent. The
self-employed, professional people
and small business operators, got the
next biggest share, 9% percent. Cor-
porations received 71A percent (be-
fore taxes.) The farmers and dairy-
men who supplied food markets and
processing plants with raw foodstuffs
received 6 ¥2 percent. Stockholders
got 4 percent. People owning rental
property got 4 percent, and bond-
holders received 3 % percent.
But, you may ask, what about dol-
lar income to families? In the last
year for which we have official fig-
ures, there were 50 million families
in the U. S., and these families re-
ceived an income of $272 billion—
before taxes. Forty percent, or near-
ly 21 million families, had incomes
of from $3,000 to $6,000. Fifteen women in the country have worked
million or 30 percent received $6,000
or more. These two groups contain
70 percent of the population.
And the Remainder
Of the remaining 30 percept of the
families, approximately 14 percent
received from $2,000 to $3,00; 11 per-
cent from $1,000 to $2,000; and about
5 percent under $1,000. Many farm
families, retired persons and pen-
sioners, whose cash income does not
truly reflect their living standard,
are in these lower income categories.
The big fact is: 85 percent of all in-
come went to 93 percent of our fam-
ilies. In other words, the great bulk
of income goes to the majority of
families, in the middle income range.
It is well to more closely examine
the upper - income bracket. Seven
percent of the families in America
receive incomes of $10,000 or more.
And only 3 percent are in the $15,000-
and-above bracket. If all of the in-
come in the $15,000-and-above
bracket, after taxes are paid, were
divided evenly among the people of
America, each would receive less
than 50 cepts a day from that source.
If all the net income in the $25,000-
and-over category were to be evenly
distributed, each of us would get only
15 cents a day. And without these
upper categories our own present in-
come would soon start to crumble for
it is from these brackets that come
a big portion of adventure capital or
investment money to build new man-
ufacturing plants, creating new jobs,
and making good times. These are
important facts. Do your children
understand them?
How’s That Again?
A pessimist is someone who is un-
happy thinking how unhappy he-
would be if he were unhappy.
