Apologists for rising civil disorder in the United States
like to remind us that an infinitesimal percentage of the
overall population is involved in any form of lawbreaking. I
No one should b-e fooled by this sort of look-the-other-way
reassurance.
According to late FBI reports, “Serious crime in the
United States increased 17 per cent in 1968 when compared
with 1967 . . .” Further, FBI Director Hoover reports that
in 1968, “Crimes of violence were up 19 per cent, led by rob
bery up 29 per cent, murder and forcible rape up 14 per cent
each, and aggravated assault up 12 per cent. The crimes
against property rose by 17 per cent as a group.” The chances
are growing from month to month and year to year that
your number will come up and your person or your property
will fall prey to the criminal who respects neither.
Forrestal Medal
Awarded To Ga.'s
Richard B. Russell
Georgia’s Senator Richard B, I
Russell was honored in Washing
ton as the first Member of Con-1
gress to receive the James B. For
restal Award of the National Se
curity Industrial Association.
The presentation was made at
a banquet in the Washington Hil
ton Hotel by J. M. Martin, Vice
President of Hercules Industries
and Chairman of the N. S. I. A.’s
Forrestal Award Committee.
In making the presentation,
Martin said of Senator Russell,
“He has been frequently called
the most influential man in the
Senate and, on analysis, this is a
valid description in the best sense
of that word.
"He is an influence for good.
He brings his great and well
earned prestige to bear in the na
tional interest. He is objective, I
unselfish and motivated solely by
patriotism.”
Previous recipients of the For
restal Award include President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, General
David Sarnoff, General Alfred M.
Gruenther, Admiral Arthur W.
Radford, former Defense Secre
tary Robert McNamara, Admiral
Arleigh A. Burke, General Curtis .
LeMay, General Lauris Norstad
and General Nathan F. Twining.
The Forrestal Award is an hon
or bestowed annually by the Na
tional Security Industrial Associ
ation to the person applying most i
effectively James Forrestal’s con -1
cepts of national security. For-1
restal, as the first Secretary of
Defense, firmly believed that a;
continuous working partnership
between government and industry
is essential to the national de
fense.
Senator Russell made the prin
cipal address of the evening.
Heading Members of Congress
and other national officials were
among the 2000 guests.
Whai's Happening
Down on the Farm
With the 50th Anniversary of
Farm Bureau across the nation
about to be celebrated and ob
served, let us focus on that first
meeting where temporary officers
were being elected in the so
called first annual meeting of the
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion. Several advance meetings
had been held, and on the first
attempt only 13 states were rep
resented.
But on this occasion, as is re
ported in “Farm Bureau Through
Three Decades”, O. M. Kile who
was there, reported that J. R.
Howard of Clemons. lowa had at
tended and participated in the
gathering and was back in his
hotel room preparing to catch a
train to return to his farm to
break corn.
He had not expected, nor an
ticipated that he would be elect
ed President, and it was speculat-
ed by Kile that Howard had
thought that O. E. Bradfute of
Ohio would be elected. Bradfute
had done a good job of presiding
over the first meeting and han
dled it efficiently. Bradfute
looked and talked more like a
banker, but Kile reported How
lard was more like a farmer in
talk and action and speculated for
this reason Howard was elected.
Back in that day a farmer that
had 1,000 chickens and planned
to have the largest flock in the
state made news. Also in that
year Fordson tractors were adver
tised as a thing able to replace'
six horses or mules — and the
price was $750.
Someone has said that history
repeats itself. In that year of
birth farmers were concerned
about American Federation of
Labor attempts to organize a i
Farm Hands Union while today i
Farmers are concerned with la
bor efforts to force unionization
of grape pickers.

. SOCIAL SECURITY
NEWS & VIEWS
Are you nearing retirement
age? If so, you can plan for your
social security payments just as
you plan for your retirement
. fr jm work. To be sure your check
• starts on time, you should visit
• your social security office about
three months before you plan
• to retire.
' i So find out what YOU should
1 do by visiting our office. It is lo-
1 cated at 114 East Johnson Street,
Dublin. The office hours are from
9.00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday
through Friday and on Saturday j
from 9.00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. A
representative of this office may |
be seen at the courthouse in Me-|
Rae, each Thursday between 9:30 ;
and 12:00 Noon.
Also a representative of this of- [
fice may be seen at the Alamo
Department of Welfare the sec
ond Thursday in each month from
‘3:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M.
Q. I will be 62 in August and
I plan to retire at that time. Ij
was told I had to have a birth ;
certificate to prove my age, but I
my birth was never recorded.!
THE UNITED STATES has come a long way in the devel
opment of sophisticated weapons systems for the protection of
our country and our people. Now we are engaged in a conflict
over still another defense program. The Anti-Ballistic Missile ,
System, designed as a protective device for our missile sites and
proposed by President Nixon, will soon be before the United
States Senate for consideration.
1 have always felt it vital for our government to deal with
the Soviet Union and any possible aggressors from a position of
strength. In today's explosive world, we have a highly potent
Communist Russia armed to the teeth on one side, and Com
munist China—with the potential to someday become equally I
as powerful—on the other. It would be risky indeed for us to
speak from anything less than a position of strength.
* • «
I DO NOT PRETEND to be ah expert on technical defense
matters. I have considered at length and have given much weight
to the recommendations of the Senate Armed Services Committee
and to outstanding scientists and engineers. Their arguments that
the ABM will greatly enhance our national security and strengthen
our military deterrent to aggression, have convinced me of the
desirability of adopting this program.
With the recent buildup of Soviet offensive weapons, it is
felt that the USSR could acquire a first-strike capability by the
mid-1970’s—about the same time that we expect Red China to
have developed a nuclear force great enough to pose a threat.
Also, the value of our Polaris and Poseidon forces will likely be
lessened as the Soviet Union continues to perfect its highly
sophisticated undersea detective devices.
* • *
WE MAY NEVER be absolutely certain that this system is
necessary for the continued protection of our nation. But the
risk of finding out by not adopting it seems far too great.
It is sobering to contemplate the possible destruction of our
country and the loss of millions of lives. We may never be sure
that the adoption of the ABM system was necessary. Those who
stand in opposition to the ABM may be right. But if they are
wrong then who is to take the responsibility? I will support the
President on the adoption of the ABM.
I /
-1 How can I get a birth certificate?
A. It is true that we must have
the birth certificate of persons
whose birth was recorded before
they were age 5. Or, if a church
baptismal record of a person's
age was made before age 5 we
'■ must have it. If you do not have
such records, you can use other
> records to prove your age. We
• will need at least two old docu
: ments which show your age. You
: may be able to get a school record
। from the county in which you at-i
■ tended school as a child. Other
I records which are acceptable are;
| family Bible records, voting rec-I
ords, insurance policies, Federal ;
‘census records, and children’s!
birth certificates. Any document!
you can get that has your age on j
it can be used, but we need at.
least one record made early in j
jyour life.
; Q. I will be 65 years old next;
June. I earn $3,800.00 a year but;
jl cannot afford to retire since Ij
still have children in school.;
Should I even bother to check oni
;my social security?
A. Yes, you should. First, you[
should file your claim for Medi-;
■ care even if monthly checks are;
; not payable. It is also possible I
that some of your social security ■
checks might be payable even i
though you are still working. You
