The National Outlook Tiie Problem Os economic Growth By Ralph Robey ** Everyone agrees that it v.ot J le f, desirable for this country .o aWw more ispidiy m so iar as production is concerned. Un fortunately the desire frr none rsfeid growth and the . jliza tfo’h of that desire ate o .e d.f ferent matters. Among the reasons f.r want-' ing more rapid growth are that \t would help us beMte the rest! of the world, tb l Russia is growing more r*: aly than we are,' ani that, i r we are ‘o take care of our p- ected population growth and continue to im prove our r andard of living, we h to ~t a-up our output per capita, r s well as in the ag gregate Each of these three reasons deserves careful consideration, i Strongest Nation As to the first, there is no] question that economically we l today are by far the strongest j in the world. No other country come? even close to equaling our output of goods and services. This is good, but it may not be good enough. We art in the midst of not only a cold war, but also an economic and ideological war. The state ment is being made day after 1 day, and more or less from one end of the world to the other, that ind'vidual enternrise can-: not produce as effectively, or as efficiently, as a centrally plan ned and directed cconomv. -V--! haps not many persons living in this nation believe that, but a distressing number in foreign: lands are nr ?-» o-->ain.

On the basis of all the statis tics that are available it is clear .hit Russ.a is currently grow ing more rapidiy than the Unit ed States. Os course Russian statistics have to be taken with a grain of salt But even allow ing tor this, there obiousiy is no room for complacency. Neither does it help to ration alize the difference by saying thet Russia is a relat.velv un developed country and In conse tUice is op rat ng from a low base. T. is s .rue, but most of ] he n. ti ns we «. ope to niprjss ! md influence are a so re atively undeveloped. To these nations jSi'.ch a rationalization may be i interpreted as a good reason for ! .urnlog to complete government I control and direction. "Population Explosic t“ We are in the midst cf what has been termed a population ■ explosion. At present there are ISO million persons in this country. According to the es timate of the Department of La bor this number will grow to 208 million by 1970. This is a 1 15 percent increase. The labor ' force, however, will grow dur ing this decade bv nearly 20 per i cent. To provide jobs for all of these workers, while increas ing our standard of living, is a i fantastic job.

And even by the destruction of freedom it is not I possible to maintain a high rate Icf growth indefinitely. It is somewhat comparable to the pressure and direction found : during a war. For a time pro duction, at least of certain times, can be increased enormously. : But it does not follow that such an increase can, or would be, ma ntained year after year. Our problem is to get faster* growth while maintaining our I freedoms. There are certain 1 policies which would assure this, next week we shall outline some of the more important of these policies. Hews By HARRY VENTERS Assistant County Agent First of all this week I would like to congratulate the 4-H’ers on their most recent activities. Here are some o i the accom plishments: V (1) Prepared and served a bar becue chicken dinner for com munity leaders cf the 4-H De velopment Fund.

If < this person continues to work 1 all year long and his earnings ; re over SI2OO in that year, his benefits will be payable only from the month he reaches age j 72. Here is an example to il-| lustrate this point. An insured individual is continuing to work for S3OO a month, but he comes! nto the social security office in January and files his • applica-I lion at th P t time. He will be 72 years old in April. It will I be explained to him that as long as he continues to work, there will be no - monthly bene benefits paid to him until April, but fom then on h's benefits w !' be ra d monthly regardless cf his earnings the rest of the year. He works all year long md b : s r min"s are $3600 for the year. Conseauentiy th-s in dhvdu-1 will net receive bene fit for the- first three months cf the year.
