staff to make an initial review ol
wage-board procedures in the Mil
itaar Departments and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion.
It is becoming increasingly evi
dent to the Subcommittee that a
strong and efficieat defense posture
requires the recognition of a tri
party employment pattern - namely
cereer civilians, military personnel,
and contractor employees. Our stu
dies have tended to reveal that the
operation of this system is not al
ways as successful as it might be
The Members plan to continue to
look at this very important man
power program with emphasis on
the non-profit and "think factory
type" contractors, the use of com
bat-qualified military personnel in
civilian-type jobs, and the effects
of personnel ceilings.
Our Subcommittee has become In
creasingly aware of the use of
technicians as an extra source of
talent The Members have expres
sed concern at those situations
wherein contractors furnish talent
often the same individuals - year
after year to work beside direct
hire Government employees. We ex
pect to develop a comprehensive re
port on this personnel item to be
followed by public hearings.
In planning this broad investiga
tive program, the Members also ex
pressed thier appreciation for re
cent studies by the Comptroller
General that support earlier find
ings by the Subcommittee. One such
study relates to the ineffective and
unpractical application of work
standards by the Military Depart
ments in Japan. Another reveals
the use of highly expensive and in
experienced military personnel in
automotive repair work in the De
partments of the Air Force and the
Army. A third emphasises the con
tinuing lack of an effective moni
torship by departments and agen
cies of personnel practices of Gov
ernment contractors.
The Subcommittee will begin the
first in a series of public hearings
within the next three weeks. The
names of the departments and
agencies to be heard and the ma

Measles, that itchy scourage ol
the Button's, small fry. is about to
go down for the count.
If everything works, this year will
usher in the first wide-spread use
of an effective measles vaccine.
And the illness that Dr. Luther L.
Terry, Surgeon General of the U.
S. Public Health Service, calls "the
Number One disease of childhood"
will, it is hoped, be conquered.
In a recent article in the maga
sine, "American Professional Phar
macist,' Dr. Terry describes the
long search for a measles vaccine.
In IMS, there began wide-spread
use of gamma globulin, a compon
ent of the blood. It provided short
term protection, but probably in
hibited development of the body's
natural resistance to the disease in
adulthood.
Extensive research, several Im
portant national and international
conferences, and many studies with
both animals and children have
brought the search for a measles
vaccine into its final stages.
Since late 1961, both live and kil
ted measles vaccines have been
tested in field trials sponsored by
the Public Health Service's Commu
nicable Disease Center. Children in
Seattle, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffa
lo and Syracuse have taken part in
these tests and results have been
carefully analyzed.
Prior to full approval of the vac
cine. the following final stps win
have taken place: Clinical evalua
tion of the vaccines, manufactured
by Individual drug companies of
the first full batch of measles vac
cines, evaluation by the Public Hea
lth Service's Division of Biologies
Standards of these vaccines, and
development of regulations for the
safety, purity and potency of the
vaccines.
After all of this, the vaccines will
be licensed for commercial use -

Christian Maturity
The Epistle of the Ephesians was
written out of St. Paul's own grow
th toward Christian maturity. His
thought of Christ broadened from
the time he met Jesus on the Da
mascus Road. He came to think of
Jesus not only as the Messiah, the
Savior, the Son of God, but as
God's answer to our perplexity.
Paul has been speaking of the
destiny of Christians which is to
grow into the knowledge of, and
liceness to, Christ. Paul is saying
to Ms readers, that they should seek
to preserve unity among themsel
ves by loving one another, so that
the church, wMch is the Body of
Christ, to which he refers, may be
whole. For God intends the church
to be a unified Body which he
may live, and through which he
may work. God is one, our supreme
source and sustainer: Christ iSOne
the Head of the Body, which is his
church and we share a faith and
hope, which are expressed in the
common rite of baptism.
To each Christian God has given
a gift. Tins is done that all to
gether they may grow into unity in
faith and in the knowledge of the
Son of God aad grow into maturity.

Uncle Pete From Chitflin Switch
SAYS
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Zeke Grtibb s preacher come by
the countr ystore Sat. night announ
ced he had bee naway a couple
days on business fer the Lord. He
was called back, he reported, to one
of his old churches to preach the
funeral fer a member of the con
gregation that was knoved in them
parts as about half sinner and half
saved. The good Parson said he
doubted a feller could be half-and
half in this matter but he wasnt
there long enough to argue agin
public opinion.
Anyhow, he told the fellers, they
had a mighty good crowd at the
Church. Folks in that section, he
reported, come to funerals like they
do weddings and homecomings. It
give 'em a chanct to gossip about
their neighbors and talk about the
crops.
He allowed as how his departed
friend would've been mighty pleas
ed to see all the fuss they made
over him. They buried him in a
cemetery 8 mile from the Church
and while they was going from the
Church to the grave, said the Par
son, air cars stopped along the road,
Farthermore, he told the fellers,
they let the departed ride through
red lights and put his name in the
local paper.
It was a great pity, allowed the
Parson, that folks waits till a man
is dead afore he can git a kind
word or deed. They'll catch him
walking down the road while he's
living and try to run over him, then
pull off the road and stop when he's
coining along dead. It would be
mighty nice, he claimed, if a pore
feller could git a preview Qf his
funeral while he was still here to
appreciate it.
On the home front, he announced,
a few members of his congregation
wis having their troubles. Fer in
stant, he said Rufe Zinder come to
him fer advice, said his old lady
was gitting so crabby he was look
ing fer her to bite his head off.
He said he told Rufe that was
the reason they wrote "fer worse"
in the wedding rites, cause they
knowed thing would git worse
from time to time. He told the fel
lers confidential that he didn't take
no sides with Rufe in the matter,
that the last time he got mixed up
in a family fight he got the 'worse'
part.
And Hezekiah Adams cbme to
him fer advice about his daughter,
reported she was 17 and wanted to
git married, llie good Parson said
he dodged that one, too. In fact, he
tol the fellers, the only real safe
advice he ever heard a preacher
give on personal matters come from
a new pastor to his flock the first
Sunday:
"Brotlw .and. J&hv*, thpy is
certain .people you.need, to git. ac
quainted with in carrying on the
Lord's worts. You ought to git ac
quainted with the High Sheriff and
a few grocery stores that operates
on the time^payment plan, and fer
goodness sake, git acquainted with
the Bank!"
Yours truly.

Health and Safely Tips
From
The American Medical Association
Seat belts in your automobile can
save lives and prevent or lessen in
juries.
This is a well-established (act,
and many autos today are equipped
with seat belts. But many more are
not. An immense amount of scien
tific research, including actual col
lisions under controlled conditions,
Q-The VA is urging veterans who
draw compensation and pension
and who also have GI insurance to
have their insurance premiums de
ducted from their compensation or
pension payments. If I do this, how
will I benefit?
A-The VA poiats out such proce
dure would not only avoid the cha
nce of a lapsed policy, but would
also save the veteran the time and
cost of drawing a check or monpy
order and mailing it to his VA In
surance office.
Q-What is the first step in apply
ing for a GI loan to buy a home?
A-First a certificate of eligibilfty
must be obtained from a VA region
al office. These , certificates now
show the expiration date of the ve
teran's entitlement to obtain a loan.
?
proves that the seat belt is the sin
gle most effective item of protec
tion equipment now available to
reduce the toll of traffic injuries
and deaths.
Thousands of lives are tost each
year because people are thrown a
gainst windshields or out of car
doors in crashes. The seat belt will
help keep you in your seat and in
your car. Most accidents occur
close to home and at moderate
speeds. Thus seat belts are impor
tant even for short trips to school
or the neighborhood grocery. Your
seat belt can protect you in town
as well as on the highway.
If you're worried about being
held down by a seat belt in the
event of fire, or if your auto should
plunge into water, vou should know
that the the belt buckle can be un
fastened in an instant with one
hand, so you can get clear of a bur
ning or submerged car.
Many motorists who have instal
led seat belts in the past year or
two have them only in the front
seat. People in the black seat also
are intitled to protection. The seat
belts should be in both front

Yes, you probably read where the
astronatus ate a substanial break
fast before the blast-off. And the
officials reported that eggs were a
key part of the space hgro's pre
blast-off breakfast
One of the main reasons for hate I
lag eggs on the menu, nutritionists
claimed, was to insure the astronaut
would start out with a feeling of
halving eaten well but not feeling
"heavy" because of too much food
bulk.
Egg protein Is of top quality and
applicable to protein needs of the
body. The fat in egg yolks is so
finely emulsified that it is promptly
utilized. Because of this energy
yielding fat, eggs "stick to the
ribs" and create a lasting feeling
I -f ? - ?* S- -?? . . 1
ox satisfaction.
Are you sure that your little astro
nauts are getting a nutritionally ad
equate breakfast before blasting off
to school? Many studies show that
children who eat well before school
are more likely to do well in stu
dies, athletics or other activities
than those woh have little or no
breakfast. Essential nutrients mis
sed at breakfast are rarely made
up at meals or snacks later in the
day.
There are no hard-and-fast rules
about how big a good breakfast is,
but Jt if suggested that you should
get from a fourth to a,third of the
day's food needs at breakfast and
include such good protein as eggi
meat, or pUk. \
Eggs aria able to rive a lift to J
menus of all family members - from
infancy to adulthood. It aeems wise
to gtve as the healthy baby's first ]
solid food one that contains iron,
Apd this can be egg yolk that is ]
Hard cooked, mashed and mixed i
with some of the formula or given <
as a soft custard made with one <
egg yolk and one-fourth to one-third i
cup of milk. <
Then eggs can be especially sat '
isfying during periods of rapid l
growth, when foods rich in body- i
building protein are needed. Eggs; |
should be the mainstay for the im ]
portant first meal of the day. A ]
breakfast built around eggs gives <
you and your family the "staying
power" needed for activities of
morning hours.
Most people agree that breakfast
has become the neglected meal of
ten because the family living sche
dule has moved to a late shift-late
dinners, late television and other
entertainment which leads to late
sleeping in the morning. Extra
sleep is no exchange for a good
meal. Breakfast is a health invest
ment in which both teenagers and
parents should cooperate.

SENATOR ERVIN SAYS
ch 15 demonstrated this. '
What is apparent at this stage of
the session is that while there is no
full-scale economy drive in opera- 1
tion yet, there is more concern over 1
unbalanced budgets and mounting}
national debt than in the past. It |
may not bring a downward revi-A'
sion of overall spending, but itlj
could have the salutary effect ofl;
bringing into consideration the al-l
most forgotten "cost question". I
an economy drive does develop, it
would probably dom some, many,
or all of the new programs proposed ]
for action at this session.
In my judgment, the "cost ques- (
tion" is fundamental in the consid
eration of the Urban Mass Transit
Bill. Here the Federal Government
is asked to finance transportation i
systems in cities including the <
greatest centers of wealth in the j
nation. It is argued that the trea- I
suries of the urban areas need this
aid. In truth, the proponents of this j
bill are coming to the most depres- ;
sed place on earth, to wit, the Uni- ;
tod States Treasury, to get relief i
from urban financial depression.s
Under the circumstances. I think
it would open a "pandora's bo" of 1
Tlnanflhl dififietilties if Congress i
should be So unwise as to undertake
the responsibilities R would assume

WASHINGTON - Congress suffers
from no lack of bills to consider at
this session. As of mid-March more
than six thousand bills had been in
troduced. A thousand of these mea
sures originated in the Senate and
five thousand in the House. Almost
daily hearings are underway, and
in some instances have been com
pleted, on the major issues before
the Congress. A brief look shows
that these measures include bills
on tax cut and reform, the national
debt limit, aid to education, youth
employment, urban mass transpor
tation, conservation and wilderness
areas, and farm and mental health
programs. In addition, hearings are
beginning on several of the major
appropriation measures.
One of the major concerns of this
Congress is that of how to bring re
venues in line with expenditures.
This crops up in many ways. It
brings caution at all stages of con
sideration of new programs such as
the suggested 24 point aid-to-educa
tioo program, the youth employ
ment crops, the mass transit and
medical care programs. The out
come of these programs, all of whi
ch are already controversial, has
this newer economy concern met
ing into the picture.
At the same time, while Congress
remains cautious on new domestic
programs, it still adjudges nation
al defense of paramount importan
ce. The swift passage of the four

Social Security
The Social Security Administra
tion wishes to remind people who
are receiving a monthly social sec
urity check that an Annual Report
of Earnings must be filed by those
who earned over $1200 in 1962. This
report is required for all beneficiar
ies who were under age 72 for one
or more months during 1962.
This Anual Report must be filed
within 3 months dnd IS days after
the end of the individual's taxable
year. Since most people use the
calendar year as their taxable :year,
the report is due by April 15, 1963.
Failure to file this report could re
sult in payments being stopped and
a penalty being assessed.
The responsibility for making this
report rests with the person who is
receiving the payments even though
the benefits are for someone else.
Exaniple, a parent receiving ben
efits for a minor child is respon
sible for making the report if the
child earned over $1200 during 1962.
Even if the child's benefits termi
nated during the year, the report is
still required if total earnings for
the year exceeded $1200.
The report should be made on
Form OA-C777 which can be Obtain
ed from the Social Security Office
or a Social Security Representative.
