Statistical records of the Safety bureau reveal that, while drivers under twenty years of age do not figure in a great number of accidents, the percentage in which they do carries a large measure of sudden death and permanent maiming. COMMERE DE HAUT ECOLE WHY OLD AGE PENSION IS NOT PENSION IN MISSOURI Bulletin Explains It is Simply a Form Of Relief Throughout Missouri there seeniB still to be considerable misunderstanding: of Missouri's present Social Security law. In a bulletin addressed to county courts, prosecuting attorneys and mayors of cities and towns, George I.

Haworth, state administrator, has pointed out some features of the present law which differ from the social security laws of oilier Btates. It is important to remember, the bulletin states, that old aire assist learning public speaking and how to give readings: Frank Muth, Mar-jorie Salisbury, Margie Everett, Jean Vaughn, Joan Vaughn, Gladys Clev- engor, Eugene Cotter, Buford 'Winn, tragic crash, "therefore we must assume it was merely the exuberance of youth that caused the driver to dash along a fog-obscured highway at a speed estimated at not less than seventy miles an hour and possibly greater into the rear end of a truck with six warning lights flashing. "The driver was instantly killed, so there is no way to determine what his mental reactions were when these lights loomed, but the fact that he scarcely had time to do anything about it is indicated by the fact that the passenger car was driven into the truck load of cedar posts with 3uch force that it required hours of work and almost super-human effort to pry the vehicles apart." These young people will not have died in vain, Mr. Griffith points out, if other children and their parents the stats over will take time to reflect GHIGH SCHOOL SS I Keith Burgess, Isabelle White, Mar tha Evans, June Bunnell, Forrest Lee Bacon, Claire Dykes and Billy Bray Dcnald Lee Heath enrolled as freshman in high school Monday.

W. L. Bouchard in his Lead Belt News that consumption of meat has fallen from the 165 pounds per capita of K07 to the 129 pounds of last year. He charges this to price strikes because of the big spread between producer and consumer. The fact is that when families of restricted incomes sit down at their dining tables these days, one of the first subjects for conversation is of meat substitutes.

This is an active threat to livestock producers and will continue until the packers end manifest inequities in meat distribution. completed for next year and plans made for a spring music meet to be held at Stanberry and the scholastic "When Pop Was a Boy" Harry Russell Jones Harm-mica Band "Believe Me If All Those Endearing: Young Charms," "Drink To Me i Only With Thine Eyes," "Yankee i meet which is to be held at Bethany This week ends the fourth six weeks' period of school, and grade cards will be given out Wednesday of that the same tragic sequence of events might be theirs. Statistical records of the safety bureau reveal that approximately 250 highway accidents were occasioned during 1937 by limited vision due to fog, rain, snow, sleet, smoke or dust and that thirty lives were snuffed out in this manner. None of these accidents would have occurred had the person at the wheel driven carefully. "Safe driving calls for slow speed, particularly when fog, snow, sleet, rain, smoke or dust prevail," says Mr.

ance is not a but a form of public assistance similar to relief. Under present federal and state laws certain very definite proofs of eligibility as to both age and need are required. Grants can be made to aged needy individuals only. A person who meets legal qualifications and whose resources are not enough to feed, clothe and shelter him decently and in health is granted a monthly check, the amount of which is based upon the difference between what he needs and what he has. But these grants must be made only on the basis of absolute need that is, when the applicant has no other means to supply himself with the necessities of life.

This is embodied in the present law in language as follows: Old Age Assistance will be granted to any person who: 1. Is 70 years of age or over; 2. Has been a resident of Mis next week.

DANGEROUS It is dangerous to sell a SUBSTITUTE for 666 just to make three or four cents more. Customers are your best assets; lose them and you lose your business. 666 is worth three or four times as much as a SUBSTITUTE.
