GIVING OUR WORLD THE Once Letter From Casper, Wyoming If you look along the sidewalk on the south side of Main Street, you wiil see an inscription in the concrete which reads, Gem Cafe Est. 1920. The author oX that inscription, in-scription, Frank L. Byron, wrote me a letter last week, and I think I'll put down the letter and my answer to it both together. I remember his Gem Cafe, which he called the Little Gem, because I used to order hot meat pies there during my high school years. I think I've eaten out more than I've eaten at home, the past forty years, which Is living p-oof that restaurant food won't kill you at least under fifty. Mr. Byron starts out in a most complimentary manner with "Dick j Morrison, world columnist". You can see why I am printing his letter. Then he goes on with. "When I cpen my Chronicle and find your column absent I feel let down". I think I've done pretty well to not let him down often, although I don't always hand in . a column I reserve the right not to, for any reason, or none. There are times when my mind goes blank just when I sit down at a typewriter, and wont come to life again until I get away from it. At ! such times, no column. "I don't always agree with your conclusions, but I like your style of writing", continues Mr. Byron. Well, I have reason to think there are some readers who don't agree with any of my conclusions and don't even like my style, so Mr. Byron rates rather high in that respect. Ia fact, I am inclined to think that some people subscribe for the Chronicle in spite of the column rather than because of it, but I don't dare quit entirely. If I should quit for say, six months, the people who like it would probably pro-bably cancel; then if I should start in again, the others would cancel, and the paper wouldn't have any subscribers left except those who can't read. "If I ever said a mean thing about vo I herewith a-olntH". adds Mr. Byron, for no reason that ppiece iast year. The biggest was I know of, abhoueh he must $179,127.

Over By Dick Morrison How To Get A Big Pensult, If you are 64, or over, and want to get the most out of the social security laws, you would do well to follow some advice from the Farmer's Union, and not only that, but after reading this you'll just barely have time. The letter from the F. U. says that if you are 64 or over, the amount of income you report this year can affect your social security secur-ity benefits for years to come could mean thousands of dollars to you and your wife. Here are the rules: 1. A Varmer who reached age 65 before July 1, 1951 requires only 6 quarters of coverage. These need not be consequetive and may have been at any time. 2. A farmer who reaches 65 between be-tween July 1, 1954 arid December 31, 1956 must show taxable in'come for the years 1955 and 1956. AND, the higher the net income up to $4200 annually the greater the benefits, which run as high as $162.80 per month for life for a farmer and his wife. "Many farmers may be able to sell something and increase their jncome before Dec. 31, 1955, if necessary. Take full advantage of these social security benefits , advises ad-vises the Farmer's Union. Farm Subsidies The Wall Street Journal ran a report of hefty price-prop subsidies paid to specific large operators the other day, and it makes interesting interest-ing reading for us who have been told that alfalfa seed producers will be better off without any such aid. "Samples of big prop loans on 1954 crop", according to the Journal, Jour-nal, are: "Delta & Pine Land Company, Com-pany, Mississippi, $1,292,472 on cotton; S4S6.725 to a Louisiana farm outfit for rice no ont else would buy; Campbell Farming Corp. Montana, $130,691 in wheat loans. Only three corn growers. however, got more than 5100,000 on those commodities'. Nice eoing. what? And, strangely er'ough. those producers, not only i of alfalXa seed, but also of beef and other produce, whose market have been wrecked because acre age diverted from cotton has been put to use so as to cause over-supply in their markets are being told help would not be good for them. We'.L my solution to the whole mess is for the government to get rirht out of the "aid to agriculture" agricul-ture" programs, all of them.
