Party Differences The 1960 Democratic convention has probably drawn more attention thaa any previous convention in the history of the United States. Andrew Jackson, seventh president president of the United States, in his reorganization of the Democratic party, led to the present system of conventions, far more Democratic than the old caucus used before that day. • Many people say there is little or no difference between tfie two political parties. Such a statement is quite misleading. While there are some individuals with Jiboral and conservative views in each party, the two parties still have certain basic differences. Small but vociferous groups ip the Demncratic party call for a more conservative policy, and equally small and noisy groups in the Republican party call for more liberal policies. One of the principal differences between the parties is their belief in the availability of credit. The Democrats, for the most part, believe in extended credit with low interest. The Republicans, saying that they fear inflation from such a policy, favor less credit and higher interest. Democrats feel that low interest rates benefit everyone—that the low-income groups can borrow more, and then spend it, creating more work, which in turn, more money and an expanding economy. - The Democratic party traditionally backs legislation which the little man—slum clearance, apartment building, social security, higher income tax exemptions for individuals rather than for corporations, a guaranteed income for farmers through price supports, which was in effect until the Eisenhower administration scuttled it by lowering the price supports to unrealistic levels, thus encouraging the farmers to drastically over-produce in an attempt to make a living. The Democratic party favors a reform of the electoral system so that every person’s vote counts. The personal intervention of Sen. Robert Taft defeated this measure in Congress ten years ago, after its introduction by the Democrats. Two Democratic states have pioneered in allowing young men and women 18 years of age and older vote, feeling that those who have finished high school, pay taxes, and are subject to the call to arms to defend their country should help choose its leaders. The Democratic party favored policies which led to the settling of our nation by our forefathers—and for many years the sons and daughters of emigrants gratefully acknowledged this by votjng Democratic. The Democratic party for 50 years fought monopoly, and more monopolies were broken up during the term.of office of President Franklin D. Roosevelt than during the terms of all the Republican presidents put together. _ And don’t forget — Republican president Dwight p. Eisenhower has spent more money during his seven years as president than all the previous presidents, Democratic, Republican, Whig, Federalist, Union, National Republican and DemocraticRepublican.

You’ll find your answer in this column, which is published regularly.) Q. I was told that for each month of my active military service, 1940-1945, I would receive social security credits of $l6O per month. When I'sent in the postcard for a record of my social security account, I learned that I was not given the military credits. Why is this? A. Military service is not actually credited to the account until a claim is filed. When you apply for benefits you will be asked for your discharge or other proof of military service. Q. My husband didn't like his, middle name and changed it when we were married. His marriage certificate and social security card have different middle names on them. What can we do to correct this so we can draw social security when the time comes? A. No action is necessary now. A person has the right tp decide how his name wiU appear on his social security card? When you claim benefits you can explain the 1 name change. Q. Do I start getting benefits at age 72 even if I earn over SI2OO for the year? A. Yes.

Women born in July, 1903, must have at least 29 quarters of credit to be eligible to old age insurance benefits at 62. Six years of work would give you only about 24 quarters.

will still be in high school, will his benefits continue until he graduates? A. No. There is no provision in the Social Security Act to pay benefits to children past age 18, unless the child was disabled before age 18.

Since I am married and do riot earn over SI2OO I have no income tax to pay. Do I have to file a tax return? A.

Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEK | 0- o Q. When a girl breaks her engagement .which has already been publicly announced, how can she' inform those of her friends who live out of town and might not otherwise learn of what has happened? A. She can write brief, Informal notes to them. All she needs to explain is that “circumstances’* have forced the breaking of her engagement. Q. At a buffet meal, should the hostess wait until all her guests have served themselves before she fills her own plate? A. She is not required to be absolutely the last, but she should be among the last. Q Is it proper for the mother of a newborn baby to mail out printed cards of thanks for the gifts her -baby has received? A. Never! Her thanks should be expresed in personally-written notes. Q. Is there any excuse at all for a girl appearing on the street or in public with her hair done up in uin curls? r A. I think this is in very poor taste. If she absolutely MUST appear this way, she can try concealing her lack of preparation with a scarf of some kind over the pin curls—but even then, she can hardly be classed as a “wellgtoomed girl.” Q. I think you’ve said that a woman is not supposed to help a man on with his coat. Does this apply to a hatcheck girl? A. Certainly not. The hatcheck girl is a professional attendant, and this is a part of her duties. Q. Should a waffle with butter and syrup be cut with a knife, or must it be cut only with the fork? A. Like pancakes, waffles are usually cut with knife and fork. Q. Isn’t it improper for two persons who are introduced at a dinner, to reach across the table to shake hands? A. Although not improper, this usually proves rather awkward. It is better to nod your head pleasantly in acknowledgment of a table introduction. If, however, the other person does reach his hand across the table to you, you must not hesitate to accept it. Q. I've heard tha| it is bad luck for the bridegroom to help address the wedding invitations and announcements. Is this true? A. This is nonsense! Although this is a function usually performed by the bride and her mother, there’s no reason in the world why the bridegroom should not if he wishes to do so. Q. At the end of a course at the dinner table, should the hostess’ plate be removed first, or if not, whose plate?
