SOCIAL SECURITY
Self-employed business people
have been covered by social se-
curity sinbe 1951 but few except
those who have retired or be-
come eligible to retire have
bothered to find out if their
credits are in order. According
to John D. Palmer, district man-
ager of the San Antonio Social
Security office, some people
have even failed to file social
security reports because they
thought that coverage was op-
tional.
“Credits to your social se-
curity account as a self-employ-

Modern technology has adapted many complex devices to
serve industry. Here, a safety engineer measures a worker's
consumption of energy with.apparatus derived from the med-
ical profession.
From trucks to test tubes,
from electricity to escalators,
engineers arid scientists are
constantly at war with care-
lessness and negligence help-
ing to reduce the industrial ac-
cidents that cost America more
than $4,000,000,000 each year.
To help prevent this waste
of men, money, and machines,
safety engineers have assem-
bled a vast arsenal of sophisti-
cated weapons from the many
industries which they serve.
Electronics contributes appa-
ratus for analyzing and elimi-
nating harmful industrial noise,'
detecting flaws in critical struc-
tures and studying the hazards
of radiation. The chemical in-
dustry provides the materials
for analyzing industrial gases
and dust. Industrial psycholo-
gists study men themselves, fit-
ting the right man into the
right job. Even motion pictures
speeds faster than the eye can
follow.
Executives of Liberty Mutual
Insurance Company, who have
pioneered the accident-preven-
tion aspects of industrial pro-
tection in depth, point out that
effective prevention helps re-
duce not only human suffering
but also industry’s cost of pro-
duction. They emphasize that
costs in time, training, and
worker morale are three times
as great as tangible losses.
Statistics bear witness to the
advances achieved in this vital
area. During the past ten years,
alone, the accident frequency
rate has dropped nearly 40 per
cent and the severity of in-
juries has been reduced some
26 per cent. These casualty
rates are 51 per cent lower
than the average during the
five pre-war years, 1935-1939.
Officials of Liberty Mutual say
that, it is reductions like these
have been used to create train- that have helped make men
ing films and analyze the dan- safer on-the-job than any-
gers of machines operating at | where else. '
report,” Palmer said. For the
butcher and the baker it is the
Schedule “C”. For the farmer it
is the Schedule “F”. Except for
the farmer, the report is re-
quired if net earnings are $400
or more net from the business.
For the farmer, he can filed the
report and pay the social secur-
ity tax if the gross income is
$600 or more even though the
net income is less than $400.
He, too, must file the Schedule
“F” and pay the tax if the net
income is more than $400.
Social Security credits for the
self-employed are by the year.
If he gets any credits he gets
four “quarters of coverage”. Be-
cause of the changes in 1960
and 1961, he does not need as
many credits as in the past. He
now needs one quarter of cover-
age for each year from January
1, 1951, up to the year he is 65.
(For women, the time up is to
the year they are 62).
Palmer said that a self-em-
ployed person can get a record
of his social security credits by
requesting a postal card from
any social security office and
ending a card to the central of-
fice in Baltimore. He will re-
ceive a record of the earnings
credited to his account.

DEADUNE JANUARY 31st.
By Everett H. Jones, Episco-
pal Bishop of West Texas.
Askers vs. Givers
Fannie Hurst in her autobiog-
raphy, Anatomy of Me, says: “I
wonder what God’s thoughts
must be concerning those who
turn their faces to Him chiefly
in time of calamity. The askers.
Give me, God. Help me God. Do
for me, God. Protect me, God.
Does God separate them from
the givers? Has God too much
grandeur to look askance at
those who come seeking and
never bearing gifts?”
The answer we seem to find
in the Bible is that God does
not disregard those who come
to him in idstress, but they re-
present a childish and immature
level of relationship with Him.
We cannot forget that Jesus
promised, “Ask and ye shall re-
ceive.” But He also told the
story we call “The Prodigal
Son” in which a young man
grew from the day he turned to
his father, saying “Give me” to
the day when, after the bitter
experience of hunger and suffer-
ing, he returned to his father,
saying “Make me.” There was a
vital period of spiritual matur-
ing between those two requests.
How long since you have
come to God bearing gifts? Per-
haps you say to yourself—what
kind of gift could I possibly
bring to God, the Maker of
Heaven and Earth? The possi-
bilities are almost limitless. You
can bring the gift of our humble
penitence and sincere gratitude.
You can bring the gift of a new
beginning and re-dedication. A-
bove all, you can bring the gift
of a genuine love and devotion.
Many of the world’s greatest
artists have thought of their
creative work, whether it be
writing, painting, or music, as
a form of giving to God. They
have recognized their talents as
gifts from Him, and the use of
them as an offering of gratitude
to Him. Even those of us with
very limited talents can make
an offering in the same spirit.
I once saw a mural in a mon-
astery where the Lord was
seated on His throne with rep-
resentatives of all the races of
men bringing to Him their pe-
culiar gifts and talents. What
are thos special gifts the Lord
of the Universe is waiting for
us in America in this year of
1962 to brin gto Him?

CROP ROTATION
GOOD PLANT DISEASE
CONTROL PRACTICE
College Station, Jan. 15. —
Methods of disease control in
crops have been getting fancier
and fancier in recent years, but
the practice of crop rotation
is still one of the most effective
says Harlan Smith, extension
plant pathologist.
Continuous cropping of the
same field with the same close-
ly related crops year after year
will result in increased plant dis-
ease troubles, Smith points out.
A disease of only slight impor-
tance the first year may carry
over in the soil and become more
serious each succeeding year.
Many disease organisms, such
as those causing downy mildew,
wheat rust and tomato or pota-
to late blight, are wind-borne.
Others are carried on or in the
seed. All of these diseases may
occur on new land. After a dis-
ease organism is introduced in-
to a new field it may linger un-
til the infection finally reaches
serious proportions. Corn smut
is a good example of a fungus
that is carried to a new field by
wind-borne spores, and then sur-
vives in the soil for several sea-
sons.
Newly cleared woodland or re-
cently plowed grassland is usu-
ally as free of soil-inhabiting
plant disease organisms as any
land than can be found. Smith
says farmers and ranchers
should make every effort to
keep such soil disease-free.
A plant disease already estab-
lished in a field often can be a-
voided by planting a crop that
is not susceptible to that dis-
ease, Smith advises. Farmers
should learn to recognize dis-
eases, and, when they occur,
should plant a different or re-
sistant crop for several seasons.
Some disease organisms may
live in the soil for years, even
when a susceptible crop is not
grown. Others can be controlled
after the land is planted to non-
susceptible crops for only a few
seasons.
