"Wb*t is a quarter of cover-] age, and how do I get them?". •'How many quarters of coverage I do I need to be insured under Social Security?" Well, let’s start at the begin ning. A quarter of coverage is a cal endar quarter in which a wage earner earns $50.00 or more in a 1 calendar quarter. If you are self-employed, you get 4 quar-j ters of coverage for each year that you have net earnings ofj $400.00 or more. If. your net earnings are less than $400.00, | you receive no quarters of cover-1 age unless you arc a farmer and elect to use ‘the optional method. The optional method may be used only in cases where the farmer’s gross earnings were SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON »——————+ Continued from Pago 3.

Just as ani ambassador must be in constant contact with his head of state if he purports to represent the bona fide interests of his coun trymen in the realm of diplom lacy, so must one who speaks for I God keep the channels of com munication open. And a fourth test for those who speak for God is that the declaration be forthright. The .temptation to embellish the truth, or perhaps to ease its severity when 1 it must have a cutting edge, or to embroider it in order to draw more attention to the one who declares it than to the truth itself—this distorts and confuses. A modern-day prophet who is worth his salt must always wrestle with specific problems. The more local they are, the more like Amos he must become. An increasing number of lay men are defending their minis ters’ obligations to preach the truth without fear or favor. And in this connection we must clearly remember that the pro phets wore not mucjp> concerned about the distant future. They tangled with the wayward pres ent, hoping that-moral revolu tion would avert a natipnal col lapse. And today the issues are as localized as they were in the time of Amas. Every commun ity faces moral. decisions. The man who repiesents God needs to be reinforced by the encour agement of the man in the pew. The supporting layman is an es sential part of the effort. It is epough that God’s will be made known to the mind of the preacher. The divine will, re vealed tnd declared, must have the hearty encouragement of laymen. Occasionally a layman will himself speak for God—as Amos did. This adds fiber and sinew to the prophetic utterance. Whenever a good man stands up for God in word and conduct, the Kingdom is marvelously re inforced. In the past, such men have been legion. In the fu ture, such men can be legion— if each and every one of us will do our part.

[Frankly Speaking By Frau Huberts - Uh-oh, Roberts is on that tan gent again. More about flying saucers. True. Only because I, and millions of others, feel it’s the most imortant story of the depade; the most play-down; the story that seems to frighten gov ernment and military officials, so that they surround themselves in a cloak of deep secrecy. In cidentally, one question has al ready been raised. What will our President do when the Air Force finally admits it has been hiding the truth about unidenti fied flying objects? How will he face this unprecedented preb i lem? In the light of recent events, it’s almost a frightening thought. What all this is lead ing up to, of course, is another rundown on more facts about flying saucers.

Here’s an item: scientists of the Academy of} Space Research in Moscow, state that the saucers are not product' of the imagination, or mirages,* but actual objects from Venus. Another item: in Mexico City, the papers herald news of iue| saucers, whenever they’re ob-1 served in the skies which is, of course, quite often. These are seriously-written articles, and the natural thought is that it’s too bad our journalists don’t copy. A little farther south, to the country that takes this sub ject more seriously than any oth er country in the world, Brazil. There governmental men, the Navy, airline officials and pilots, continuously see UFO’s and open ly report their sightings. Inci dentally, the president of Italy recently visited Brazil and said: “it’s a well-known fact that Bra zil has a secret agreement with other nations of the world to keep quiet about the reality of UFO’s for a time yet." So Bra zil is the only country that of ficially recognizes the existence of flying saucers, while the gov ernments of other countries, ours included, continue to ridicule the stories of saucers, and the re spectable people who report them. (These people are judged sane in Brazil, and crazy in our country). Incidentally, getting back to Italy, in that country contacts are being made from saucers by use of television, ra dio and telephone. It occasional ly happens in this country, too, but some of the contactees are often confused as to what is go ing on. However, it has been stated that professors •of a well known university in this country, are in constant contact with space visitors utilizing the above mentoned methods of contact. A few minor items now, on the subject: (1) A Professor Vlado rov of Moscow states that mass landings would be delayed un til 1985, because of physiological problems. (2) A radio message was received from the space peo ple, at Irkutsk,- Siberia. The transmitter from space was so powerful, it severely damaged the radio equipment of the Sov ients, but the message was re ceived. (3) Our government leaders claim that Russia is our main enemy. They say we must have a strong defense program against Russia. Why, then,, is every effort directed to the satel lite program? Military advan tage? Both Russia and the Unit ed States claim to be able to strike anywhere on earth now. Certainly the moon isn’t needed for that purpose. (4) We have a vast network of radar detec tion stations encircling the en tire north polar area, ostensibly to detect invading Russians. Yet actually the physicists, matheme ticians, astronomers and others have explained that an invading fleet of space ships would nat urally descend at the pole and fan out from there.
