running- ham outlined the background for the social security act. stating that many European countries, notably England a.nd Germany, have provided such benefits for their people for the past 50 years. He told of the appointment by the federal government of committees from large employers of labor, from labor leaders, from insurance 'and church groups, who studied the situation during a period of six months and upon whose findings the present act was drawn and passed and went into effect on Jauary 1, 1936. Jn reality he staled the act Is made up of eight or nine separate actions and they are not easy to interpret, he admitted. He stated that there are 52,000 old people in Los Angeles county alone receiving old-age pensions, of which the federal government pays 50 per cent and the state 50 per cent.

Up to January, 1938, certain provisions of the act applied to employers having eight or more employes, but beginning January 1, 1938, that was changed to include employers having four employes. He said that It is just another form of insurance and at present payments are very small, but by 1960 they will be large enough to be of substantial assistance to those receiving them. Percentage Another item of Interest which he told was that at present only 2V4 per cent of our population 65 years or over, but by 1960 he stated between 10 and 12 per cent of the population will be that age and over. Other statements made by the speaker were that 40 per cent of the people over 65 years are dependent on the government for support; that 75 to 76 years is the average. length of life; that 90 per cent of the people covered by this act carry no other form of insurance: and that 58 million people come under the act.

In closing he said that there Is a movement on foot to include farm laborers, domestic servants, government and municipal employes in the provisions of the act. Upon the death of a person who has been pay- Ing in to the fund over a period of years and dies before the age of retirement, his benefits are paid to his beneficial hi a lump sum.

(Special to The Callfornlan) HAFTER, June Although Shafter High School closed its doors for the summer yesterday, one activity, that of the agriculture class, will continue through the summer months. Members of the class will carry projects and be engaged In work of seasonal nature under the direction of Glenn O. Nay, head of the agriculture department of Shafter High School. The "ag" farm, purchased by the school system last fall, has been a successful means of giving the farm students a practical knowledge of farm instruction and actual experience.

The 26 acre laboratory Is located just north of the high school. It is a laboratory for the boys where they can do actual farm work. Because the boys must quit field work when class ends, a ranch foreman carries on. Field crops and livestock on the farm give first hand opportunities for the boys to gain experience, especially for those students without opportunities that a farm offers at home. Mechanics Shop mechanics is taught in connection with the agriculture work.

Students learn how to construct tool's and how to overhaul the: tractor and other machinery. Ranch equipment Includes a tractor, disc, harrow, floats, mowing machine and a hammer mill. This year the farm had' -five acres of potatoes, one of White Rose of Santa Maria seed; one of White Rose, Montana seed; one acre of Bliss Triumph, Santa Maria; one Bliss Triumph, Montana, and one acre of Katahdin potatoes from Montana. All the potatoes are grown from certified seed. Nine acres of oats have been cut and baled.

Various truck crops Including onions, melons, cabbage, beans, corn and tomatoes are grown, each in several varieties for experimentation. The farm has seven head of steers -with which instruction in feeding, handling and show- Ing is carried on. A herd boar of Poland China strain and several Hampshire gilts are kept. 30 Pens The livestock pens are 120 by 300 feet, the length including the wire fence extension which will allow the stock to be on green pasturage part of the time. The corral Is divided Into 30 pens.

A feed house which holds feed for the stock in the corral adjoins the pens. The main supply of feed for F. F. A. projects Is stored at the high school.

One of the main accomplishments of the local agriculture class is the opportunity it gives the boy in getting a start in life.
