Pensions

asis on pensions as, for example, the coal and

to unions or not. Some argue that an in-

to prohibit funds for Britain until
Northern and Southern Ireland
should be reunited. It was a
great surprise to both Fogarty and
Peer when the amendment was
accidentally adopted by a standing
vote of 99 to 66. However, every-
one knew the amendment had no
chance, as it did not belong on a
bill of this type, and made the
House appear ridiculous. On a
roll call vote, it was defeated 226
to 69.
As many lobbyists as there are
in Washington, it is not unusual
for a lot of a member’s time to be
taken up by purely publicity
stunts for the lobbyists, who are
receiving large salaries and heavy
expense accounts and who are on
the alert to get a member to grind
an axe for them.
PRICE SUPPORT PROGRAM
Since the post-war high point
in January, 1948, prices received
by farmers have dropped an av-
erage of 23%, which included 11%
in the past year. Compared with
post-war peaks, food grains are
down 32%; feed grains are down
47%; cotton down 27%; oil crops
down 47%.; meat animals down
31%; dairy products down 24%;
poultry and eggs down 37%.
Meanwhile prices paid by farm-
ers, including interest and taxes,
have dropped considerably. Had
it not been for the stabilizing in-
fluence of price supports handled
through the Commodity Credit
Corporation, the decline would
have been much worse. After
World War I, the average price of
all commodities fell 50% in 12
months. Such specific items as
cotton declined from a high of
38.5 cents per pound in April,
1920, to 9.5 cents per pound in
April, 1921.
Since World War II, farm com-
modity prices have dropped sharp-
ly on two or three occasions, but
at no time has there been any
fear that the bottom would drop
out of the market because of the
price support program. It should
not be overlooked that the coun-
try cannot be prosperous unless
the farmers are prosperous. It is
necessary that we have a high
national income. Our national in-
come is almost invariably seven
times the gross farm income.
farmer can plant 65% of his av-
erage cotton acreage for the years
1946, 1947 and 1948, or 45% of
his highest cotton planting for
either of the years 1946, 1947 and
1948, but in no event shall the
farmer plant to cotton more than
40% of his total tilled acreage.
Even this bill will work unfairly
in a great many instances and will
seriously curtail the operation of
many cotton farmers. It’s a big
improvement, however, over the
old law.

As we get older, stress and strain, over-
exertion, excessive smoking or exposure to
cold sometimes slows down kidney func-
tion. This may lead many folks to com-
plain of nagging backac he, loss of pep and
energy, headaches and dizziness. Getting
up nights or frequent passages may result
from minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or dietary indiscretions.
If your discomforts are due to these
causes, don’t wait, try Doan’s Pills, a mild

I YAP your fist against these stout
rV burs—feel the gauge of the
bumper stock they’re made of—
and you know you’ve got stout
protection here.
But then figure:
Here are nine bumper guards (not
counting the two that hold the
parking lights) so that’s one extra
item you needn’t buy.
And each is individually replace-
able— if damage should occur
you have only a simple part or two
to replace, instead of a complete,
cast-metal grille.
Thus this stunning new design —
freshest front-end style note on the
highways—protects your pocket-
book as well as your car.
Avoids costly repair hills as it
avoids "locking horns’’ with the
car ahead. Cuts upkeep as it cuts
inches from the ear’s total length,
thus making parking and
garaging easier.

W hat you really have here is a
four-way forefront. A design that
sets the coming style note—avoids
many a tangle with the ear ahead—
makes handling easier—and costs
less to repair.
And note that parking-light lenses,
made of plastic and set deep in re-
cessed sockets, are well out of
harm’s way—even when pushing a
stalled car.
