automobile and airplane have vastly ex

on a vacation trip. School has changed too,
a bright day for agriculture. The way now
is open for the Congress to solve the wheat
surplus problem on a basis consistent with
the maintenance of the market system.

As school bells ring again, let’s salute
our young people and those who guide them
through ever more complicated fields of
learning. In the great affairs of nations,
in science, and in the complicated business
of leading a good and worthwhile life, our
need has never been greater for concerned,
intelligent^ educated men and women.
That goes for all other crops. The goal
—the only intelligent goal, looking at the
picture from a purely domestic viewpoint
or in the light of international trade de
velopments—must be to establish a free
market in agriculture in the shortest pos
sible time.
Babson Calls For
Old-Fashioned Thrift
Neat Little Trick
A short time ago, reports the AP, the
Cuban government raised the price of gaso
line from 84 cents to 60 cents a gallon
(not far from a 100 per cent jump) “in the
interest of the national economy.’’ The dis
patch continues: “Premier Fidel Castro had
suggested the increase as a means of forc
ing a greater contribution from the people
to Cuba’s progress.’’
This is one of those neat little tricks
that are only possible in a totalitarian
economy, where the government either
owns everything or runs everything, and
competition is non-existent. -You might
keep this in mind next time you hear pri
vate enterprise raked over the coals, and
government ownership lauded as a public
blessing.
Aid Our Friend* —
Then Stop —
Looking back to the beginning of for
eign aid, and to the idealistic yet practical
principles on which it was then postulated,
gives one something of an Alice-in-Wonder-
land feeling.
The start is found in the Marshall Plan.
The idea was to use American resources to
help rebuild war-shattered nations, and to
bring about a peaceful, cooperative world
based upon free institutions—including free
popular elections. —_—_
The tragedy is that many billions of
our foreign aid have been used for very dif
ferent ends. It has gone to dictatorships,
in which the people have no voice at all in
affairs. Worst of all, it has gone, in in
stance after instance, to members of or
sympathizers with the communist bloc.
Thus, our own dollars have been used to
strengthen our enemies—and even to buy
them advanced weapons of war.
One can understand that foreign aid
distributions of billions of dollars are often
wasteful and misdirected. That is inevi
table in so vast an undertaking. But there
can be no excuse for employing it to our
own disadvantage and danger. A drastic
change in policy has long been in order.
Let us aid our friends, and stop right there.
Babson Park, Mass., August 22—It is amaz
ing to me how people today seem quite happy
to “live it up’’ without regard for their pock
etbooks. Our so-called “welfare state” has
made people take the problems of unemploy
ment and old age security far too lightly. When
I talk to young people, I find they are giving
little or no thought to their financial futures
The result is that they never accumulate even
the few dollars they need to start them along
the road to sensible budgeting and a program
of successful investment.
THRIFTY MEN COME OUT AHEAD
My father—I have never forgotten—used to
warn me that the man . who
spends less than he gets will
be an employer, but that the
man who constantly spends all
|tiiat he gets will always be an
employee. The importance of
saving, my ' father insisted
was in no way related to how
much a man had or how
much he brought home on
pay-day. He believed that a
Mf*r w. nahMa p^j. man w h 0 saved some
thing was far wiser than a wealthy man who
had no system of saving whatsoever.
I have often thought about my father’s
words. And I have noticed that partners in
business and partners in married life always
get along better when they have some cash in
the bank. A great many of life’s troubles be
gin whan bills come in and there is nothing to
pay them with. I decided when I was still
vary young that I would rather tell my dollars
where to go than ask where they had gone.

Kill With Kindness
Draco was an Athenian legislator who* in 621 B. C.,
drew up a code of laws that by later standards was
extremely cruel.
Although he and his laws have been severely criti
cized through the centuries, Draco was a popular man
in his time.
It was a custom in Greece for an audience to ap
plaud by standing and waving caps and cloaks. Great
applause was expressed by tossing the caps and cloaks
at the person being applauded.
It is said that Draco was smothered to death in a
theater at Aegina when an enthusiastic audience threw
caps and cloaks on him.
The legend is the basis for the phrase, “to kill with
kindness.’’

ough, you may qualify for bene
fits, but if it is only temporary
you may be directed to another
office that can help you.
Question — How serious does
my disability have to be for me
to qualfiy for benefits?
Answer—Your disability must
be so severe that it prevents you
from doing any substantial or
gainful wort:, and it must be of
a type that will continue into
the indefinite future.
Question—How soon can I get
my first disability check?
Answer—You msut be disabled
for at least six months with the
prospect of your disability con
tinuing indefinitely before you
may become mi titled to disability
benefits under the social security
law. Your first monthly check
would be for the seventh full
month of disability.
Question—Why is it necessary
to call at a social security office
promptly when a preson is so
disabled he can’t work if there’s
no possibility of receiving a bene
fit check until six months have
passed?
Answer—Your social security
office will use this time to re
view your work history to see if
you have worked long enough to
be insured; to explain the neces
sary evidence you must submit
when you file a claim; to find
out if you have family benefits
due you; and to tell you how to
file for these benefits—all of
which will help insure that you
get your first check on time.*

The Evidence Piles Up
More and more evidence has been pil
ing up to prove that the American people
are weary of steam-roller government,
which everlastingly seeks more dictatorial
powers in widely assorted areas of Ameri
can life.
There has been no better example of
this than American agriculture’s rejection,
by vote, of the proposed wheat production
control plan, which would have imposed
restrictions of unprecedented scope and
severity. The plan needed a two-thirds
majority to become law; it didn’t get even
a' simple majority.
And no one can say that the case for it
was not aggressively argued. The Secre
tary of Agriculture forecast “chaos” for

is particularly true of those in the lower in-1 Church will have Homecoming

and buy less on credit, they will never get
started on a sensible financial basis for the fu
ture.
Even with reasonable allowances for benevo-
Inece and church and for personal and miscel
laneous items, there should still be at least 5%
left for insurance, savings accounts, and in
vestments—or, more specifically, about $250,
I heartily advise you to put half this amount
into life insurance and the other half into sav
ings. Starting on such a tight budget, I would
definitely not make any provisions at this time
for speculative investment.
START BUDGETING EARLY IN LIFE
One of the most important things in a man’s
life is to learn early to budget and to save.
Failure to do this is responsible for the sad
fact that close to 30% of the men 55 years old
right now are not self-supporting. Most of
them have made enough money between the
ages of 30 and 50 to keep themselves and their
families in comparative ease fur life if they
had only followed a definite plan of saving. It
seems senseless to me to work the best part
of your life to earn a few dollars if these dollars
are going to earn nothing tor you afterward.
Only by way of labor and saving is impor
tant capital built up. Those who consume less
than they produce can turn their surplus back
into productive channels that will increase the
nation’s wealth.
