Growing Automobile Traffic If any one thing characterises the vitality of America, it is its phenomenal growth in automobiles in the past generation. From a huge, sprawling country with little transportation, the United States today has become one big neighborhood, with access to every village and hamlet in the nation guaranteed by modern highways and good autos. We who live in the small cities and towns must constantly keep alert to the changes taking place, and we must change with them, or else perish, figuratively or literally, like the Indian who insisted the center stripe of a busy highway was painted as his own personal trail. How often do we think of modern traffic, its needs and problems? Our streets were originally engineered for “horse and foot” traffic. Homes were built, time moved on. The streets were graveled, then bricked, and finally paved. But parking and traffic flow has remained about the same, with minor regulation. Have you noticedJhow much easier it is to drive into a town with oneway streets? And how narrow streets seem wider? Os course, if you’ve “always” driven to town on a certain street, or a certain way, and it becomes one-way the opposite direction, you might have to change your thinking to adjust. This creates little pockets of resistance to change. But if engineering studies show that traffic flow can be improved by making certain Decatur streets one-way, why not try it for six months or a year, and see if we like it any better?

ASCS Farm Notes
IM2 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: Farmers who signed an application to participate in the 1962 feed grain program or the 1962 wheat stabilization program are reminded that the acreage diverted from the production of corn and/or wheat shall not be pastured before January 1, 1963 neither shall a crop be harvested from such acreage. Noxious weeds must be controlled. If such requirements are not met, the result may be loss of the entire payment due and a refund of the advance payment, if any payment was made. Also any farmer who received an advance payment and has decided he cannot participate in the program must refund the advance payment plus six per cent interest. Notices are being mailed to participants giving the status of their farm relatives to the program. Any participant who does not understand the notice should call at the county office for further information. Since all notices cannot be mailed at the same time, some producers will not receive such notices until a later time. Notices are being mailed as measurements are completed in the county office. Payments will be made after September 1,1962, for feed grain and wheat stabilization programs.
PROGRESS REPORTED IN CONSERVATION: The goal of the conservation drive is to get farmers who have not been doing conservation work on their land in recent years to do an important conservation project in 1962. 50 such “new” farms have enrolled for participation in the 1962 AC program in this county. 10 of this number have reported practices completed . When the drive started, it w a s suggested that each ASC committeeman accept responsibility for /getting one additional neighborfarmer to 3 carry out one needed conservation practice on his farm in 1962. The national goal was to get 100,000 such farmers to take this step. Committeemen willingly accepted this challenge and on their own time have unselfishly devoted many hours to the work necessary to meet the goal. This was a direct and valuable contribution to the department of agricultures rural areas development program. Major objectives of the RAD program are to increase income of under-employed, low-in-come farmers and to develop offfarm sources of employment. The feeling is general that farm program workers have a major responsibility to help bring about proper use and management of the nation’s soil, water, woodland, and wildlife resources. Adequate use of these natural resources on our farms will benefit not only the farm family concerned, but also the ■ community and nation. FARMERS TO BENEFIT FROM ANY FREIGHT CUTS AT SUPPORT YEAR-END: The full benefit of any reductions in freight rate charges in coming months will be passed on to farmers at the time of final settlement on their grain support loans. Grains affected are wheat, barley, grain sorghum, rye and flaxseed. Any upward adjustments in 1962 county price-support rates for the five grains resulting from any such freight rate reductions will be made effective in most instances — after the close of the price-sup-port availablility period January 31, 1963. County price-support rates for these grains in major producing areas are determined on the basis of terminal support rates less the freight and other charges needed to get the grain to terminal locations. Adjusting the 1962 county rates upward to reflect any significant reductions made in rail freight rates in 1962 after the supportrates determined and announced will help maintain fair and equitable relationships between county and terminal rates. The changed rates will be t h e basis for final settlement with producers on price-support leans-at loan maturity dates. In the past county price - support rates for these five grains have been changed at the time of the freight rate decreases. The change announced for the 1962 program

will simplify administrative operations by making all needed support rate changes at the end of the sea' son rather than as they occur throughout the price-support availability period . CORN LOANS AND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS EXPIRE JULY 31,1962: 1961 corn loans and purchase agreements expire July 31, 1962. Such loans may be liquidated by repayment, delivery or resealing. Purchase agreements guarantee the producer the loan rate at time of delivery. However, if a producer desires to convert his purchase agreement to a loan for reseal purposes he may do so by calling at the county office before July 31 and filing an application. The reseal rate is 14 cents per bushel per annum paybale July 31, 1963 or the date of repayment, whichever is earlier. If repaid before July 31, 1963, the reseal payment is computed for the number of days actually resealed. Producers who received cards relative to the liquidation of loans or purchase agreements are urged to complete, sign and return them to the county office, if they have not already done so. It is very important that the cards be returned in order that the number of bushels of corn for delivery may be determined at an early date. Deliveries must be completed before September 30, 1962. Producers who state their desire to deliver will receive a notice advising them of their specified delivery dates.
NATIONAL AVERAGE SUPPORT PRICE FOR 1962-CROP WHEAT UNCHANGED: The U. S. department of agriculture has announced that the national average support price for 1962crop wheat will be $2.00 per bushel unchanged from the minimum “advance” support price used in setting county and terminal support rate previously announced. Legislation requires that the final wheat support rate be determined on the basis of the wheat parity price as of the beginning of the marketing year and of wheat supply relationships of the same date. Currently, wheat supply relationships indicate a support level at 75 per cent of parity. Since 75 per cent of the July, 1962, wheat parity price of $2.42 per bushel is less than the previously-announced minimum average support price of $2.00, the final price will be the minimum. The final rate can be higher but not lower than the minimum price. The $2.00 per-bushel 1962 support price reflects 82.6 per cent of the July, 1962, wheat parity price. Minimum 1962 terminal and county price-support rates also are unchanged. Wheat support will be accomplished as in the past through loans on farm and warehouse-stor-ed wheat and through purchase agreements. Loans will mature in most states March 31, 1963. To get wheat price support in 1962 in commerical wheat-produc-ing areas producers must participate in the 1962 wheat stabilization program. In general, the program provides for reducing wheat acreage below the national minimum allotment of 55 million acres. Payments made to participants who divert acreage under the program to conserving uses. The program requires a mandatory 10 per cent reduction from acreage allotments established on the basis of 55-million-acre minimum national allotment. Provision is also made for up to an additional 30 per cent voluntary reduction in acreage, with special provisions for small farms permitting up to 10 acres reduction in line with the farms’ wheat acreage history. Farmers who planted within their 1962 allotment will be able to market their entire production without marketing quota penalty, but they wlil not be eligible for price support unless they sign up and are participating in the 1962 wheat stabilization program. Wheat to be eligible for support must have been produced in 1962 in a commercial wheat producing area. Wheat must grade No. 3 or better or may grade No. 4 Or No. 5 on the grading factor of test weight only. The national average support for
You, Your Child And The School
By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Your child’s class assignment in the fall will be an important concern to him, yourself, and school officials. The school staff has spent many hours developing a philosophy for grouping children most effectively for learning. School population and size dictate the number of students In each class and the number of classes possible. The number of students assigned to each teacher has many implications for instruction. Most educators feel that an elementary teacher can handle 25 pupils quite adequately. When the number rises above 30, the quality of instruction may suffer. In the secondary school, the suggested number varies with the subject. A laboratory class needs close supervision while a lecture class may be quite large. Program Dictates Size Specific research does not appear to be conclusive. The proper class size depends upon the type of instruction and is closely related to the aims of the curriculum (program). 1
You often hear reference to homogeneous or heterogeneous grouping. Homogeneous grouping is the arrangement of classes with emphasis upon sameness, children with similar ability and performance are placed together. Those in favor of this method believe the teacher can, more easily, reach the group. She will adjust her instruction to the level of each section. Opponents believe there is a lack of stimulation in slow groups. Mixed Grouping Heterogeneous grouping is a mixed type in that classes are arranged to include students with a variety of ability levels. Those in favor of this method indicate that the situation is life-like and mportant to socal adjustment. Opponents believe that the vast differences are most difficult for the teacher to handle. In reality there are many logical arguments on both sides. Where does this leave you as a parent? The philosophy which the school chooses is a professional matter. Your interest, in either case, is naturally the proper placement of your child. Your attitude towards the teacher and the group is an important factor. Don’t Accent Competition In the homogeneous group situation, it is important that you don’t emphasize the competitive angle. Neither you nor the school should attempt to hide the level of the group. You should indicate to children in the slow groups that this will give them an opportunity to learn more easily. An 1961-crop wheat was $1,79 per bushel, reflecting 75.5 per cent of the July, 1961, wheat parity price. The 1962 Adams county rate is $2.02 per bushel for No. 1 wheat as compared to $1.83 in 1961. CONSERVATION RESERVE CONTRACTS: Farmers, who have cropland under the conservation reserve program are reminded that noxious weeds must be controlled and an adequate cover shall be maintained during the entire period of the contract. —- - 50 Adams county farms remain under contract for the conservation reserve program which started in 1957 and ended in 1961. Contracts could be signed for periods of 3, sor 10 years. 2,739 acres are now covered by active contracts. This acreage must be in conserving crops the entire period of the contract. „ • Farmers receive annual payments for participating in this program. The 1962 payments will be made after October 1,1962.

attitude of confidence on your part will go a long way towards providing security to the child. The students in the top groups should realize that with their ability goes responsibility. Your continued emphasis of pleasure can create an unhealthy competition. In heterogeneous grouping situations these same attitudes should exist. You will find that most teachers will group by ability wll hin their class (reading groups, etc.). Encouragement and security are important. You should be realistic. You or the school can not hide a child's ability, or lack of it, from himself. On the contrary, the well adjusted child recognizes his ability and learns to cope with himself and competition. SOCIAL SECURITY QUIZ
1. Q. — For the past two summers I have been employed by my father in his grocery store on a full time basis. I am 19 and attend college during the year. Is this summer employment covered by social security? A.— No, emploment is not covered in any case where a child under 21 is employed by a parent. 2. Q. — I am 17 years old and have obtained employment during the summer months. Do I need a social security number? A.— Yes. Anyone working for wages in employment covered by social security is requested to have a social security number. 3. Q. — I am an employer who hires several students during the summer months on a part time basis. Is it necessary for me to withhold and report social security tax for these students? A.— Yes. Regardless of whether the students work full or part time and irrespective of amount of earnings under employment covered by social security it is necessary to withhold and report wages. 4. Q. — Many of the people I employ in my business are young women, consequently a great many of these may bring about a change in their last name. Is it necessary for these women to obtain another social security number? A.— No, however it is necessary to correct the old card so it will indicate the new nAme. This is accomplished by completing a Form OAAN-7003. This may be done at your nearest social security office. 5. Q. — Recently I filed for disability under the social security law. I have worked steady under social security since 1937 and consider myself disabled. However, my claim was disallowed as it was determined I was not disabled. Do I have any right to appeal this determination? A.— Yes, you may file for a reconsideration and your case will be reconsidered by the bureau of old-age and survivors insurance. In the event your claim is again disallowed you have the right to a hearing by an examiner of the office of hearings and appeals. 6. Q. — I was employed as a painter. Recently I lost my leg in an automobile accident and am no longer able to earn a living as a painter as I cannot climb ladders or stand on scaffolding. Can I get disability benefits under social security? A.— It is not possible to determine this from the above information. However, the loss of a
would not necessary qualify you for disability. In a case at nature it is advisable to check with your nearest social security office.

Russia Purchases Ads In Newspapers
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Russia has begun purchasing huge advertisements in American newspapers to print the text of Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s 13,000word speech before the Commu-nist-organized World Peace Congress in Moscow earlier this month. And high U.S. officials have some interesting ideas about what's behind this campaign. They believe the Soviet government is trying: —To justify in the eyes of the American public new round of atmospheric nuclear tests, which Khrushchev has announced will begin soon. —To counter the effect of recent speeches by U. S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara which are regarded here and abroad as having severely damaged the Russian image of military invincibility. Three U.S. newspapers so far have carried two-page ads containing Khrushchev’s July 10 speech in which he boasted of a new anti-missile missile, blamed the United States for the nuclear test spiral, and depicted Russia as the foremost advocate of world peace. Washington Counter-Offered The San Francisco News Call Bulletin carried the advertisement Thursday. The New York Herald Tribune and the Kansas City Star published it last Sunday. In each of the three newspapers the advertisement appeared on pages 20 and 21. Soviet efforts to purchase space in Washington ran into a counteroffer which the Russian Embassy has failed to accept. The Washington Post, when offered the advertisement, wrote the Soviet Embassy that it would publish the Khrushchev text

in its news columns if one of the official Russian newspapers, Pravda or Izvestia, would do the same with the text of President Kennedy’s disarmament speech before the United Nations General Assembly last September. Post President Philip Graham, in his July 18 letter to the embassy, said he thought it would be a good idea if both the Soviet and American publics understood fully the thinking of both Kennedy and Khrushchev on such vital subjects as disarmament. So far Graham has received no reply. Intend Buying More An executive of one of the newspapers which accepted the advertisement said he understood the Russians intended to purchase more space in the future for other Khrushchev speeches. The reporting of the speech hit most front pages, but did not get as much prominence as it might have because it came at the same time as the first experimental Telstar transmission from the United States to Europe. •U.S. officials, however, discount technical reasons and believe that Soviet officials really think they can make some impact on American opinion and undercut Kennedy’s military program and disarmament position. The McNamara speeches are those in which "he has made it clear the United States knows it has considerable military superiority over the Soviet Union and—what is very important in international power politics — is aware that Russia knows this. - U.S. officials also noted with interest the clumsy Soviet handling of the Friday, July 13, Khrushchev interview with 14 American newsmen, 12 of them editors.
