Free SihtxAs and Free Peliticns are Guaraiars of the People's Freedom 'Zttttl cpxux faxtoxy 6c lecvtdecl The information about the people of a community and what they are doing is always the' backbone of any weekly newspaper. In the columns of the rural news, the history of the people is recorded.

The progress or decay of a community is written in the actions or lack of actions of its residents. No better source than the weekly newspaper can be found for the events of births, school days, marriages, anniversaries, deaths and many other important activities of the day. The news sent to the Democrat each week by its rural correspondents from all over the county is a permanent record for all future historians. These area news gatherers have a responsibility to future generations to gather the news about what's happening around them and to present it for all to read each week so that it can become a part of this recorded history. The local newspaper also ties the folks of a community together in friendliness and In these busy days many lose touch with friends and former neighbors if they cannot read the items furnished by these correspondents.

What the people are doing in a community is as important as reading about the bargains and services' available from the merchants of the area and the legal business carried on by the elected publicofficials. The Brown County Democrat is proud of the fine citizens in Brown County who send us this information each week. This year the Democrat gave a luncheon in honor of these important history recorders and plan to make it an annual affair. We have fifteen correspondents gathering this important information from various areas in the county and would like to see more areas covered- Mi's. Oscar Richardson sends us Columbus R.

If the affairs of your community aren't being recorded for posterity why don't some of you neighbors get together and choose some central person to write the news down and send it in?

Unless we get better soil and water conservation practices established more quickly on the hillside farms losing this precious top soil, I am afraid the "foresters" are going to get a lot more of it someday, while the levees down stream will go higher as the deltas rise with the muddy deposition after every flood.

3. Nash. LO LO 8-4460 LY 7-4128 LO 8-2893 R. 1 Trafalgar LO 8-4232 LO 8-4403 R. 3, Morgantown The Senate Labor Bill I have studied the Senate Labor Bill, the report on it, and the five days of This is not a detailed report.

It only highlights the main features of the union democracy provisions of the proposals. The bill contains badly needed provisions. It suffers from one omission and one error. The neeoVd provisions It provides that persons in the labor management relations field shall report certain information to the Secretary of Labor; that failure to do so or to falsify such information shall constitute 'an offense punishable bv, fine and imprisonment. Such information shall be public.

Destruction of records will be an offense. So will theft of trust funds. Trusteeships, by which national union officers dictate the affairs of local unions, may be imposed only for legitimate purposes and reports on any such trusteeships must be made to the Secretary. Limits are put upon the duration of such trusteeships and they are subjected to judicial scrutiny. Elections are prescribed every four years for international or national unions and every three years for locals.

Belief from fraudulent elections is provided. Provision is made for recovery of stolen fuinds, by prescribing1 that members may sue for such recovery. The Omission Uufortunateiy, however, the bill does not prescribe protection for individual members if they protest dishonest conduct, criticize it oir their officers, either in meetings or during election campaigns, or sue in court for misappropriations. This is the very heart of any Union Democracy Law. What does it matter If an election is held if the members are afraid to campaign; to point with pride and view with alarm.

Such elections are generally held in the very unions whose officers occasioned both the need and Senate passage of this measure. The error The error is ia the same pat- tern as the omission. Generally the bill commits the remedies to the discretion of the Secretary of Labor. For example, only the Secretary can sue to set aside a fraudulent election, and only the Secretary may sue in federal court to set aside an unwarranted trusteeship. This latter despite the Constitutional right of citizens of different states having recourse to the federal courts.

Then, in case of misappropriated funds, the members may sue for recovery, but only with the permission of the court, either state or federal. This is not in keeping with our tradition of open courts. Every citizen should have the right to sue for remedy and redress. This light should be absolute. It should not depend upon some bob-tailed pre-hearing before the judge ncri- an official in Washington.

I beljeve it pro per and helpful that the Secretary should be given the power to sue on behalf of members but that should noXjpreclude them from suing for themselves. The very purpose of the bill is to instill self government and membership control in unions. If the members do not fear to sue for their rights, it is best to permit them to do so without having to -beseech eiter the Secretary or some judge for permission. Then let the facts come out in open court. That is in keeping with our fifiest traditions.

With these, corrections, the bill should pass and have the President's approval.

Wyatt: The folks of the Division of Fish and Game and Forestry-appreciate the interest of Mr. Ed Inman and yourself in attending the weed control meeting at Yellowwood Lake, also the splendid presentation of this matter -of aquatic vegetation control in the You and Ed probably noticed on the way out the yellow silt laden condition of Salt Creek compared to the nice clear water of Yellowwood Lak where we could see "bottom." On leaving the lake and following the creek northward, Mr. Palmer and I remarked about the nice clear writer com Social Security Q. My husband and I have been receiving welfare payments for years. I've finally managed to work enough to qualify for Social Security payments.

Will my husband be eligible to draw social security on my earnings? A. Your husband would be eligible for benefits based on your earnings only if you furnished more than half of his support. Q. I want to apply for my So-cial Security and understand I may lose benefits by not filing now. I have a record of my age r.hen I was married but won't have a bjrth certificate until I have it set up it court.

Can I file before I get that done? A. You should not delay but should fiie at once. Bring your marriage record with you; it will probably be satisfactory-proof of your age. Q. I was going to file for Disability Insurance Pension but have heard I won't be entitled to anything because my Veterans Administration pension is more than my Social Security disability payments would be.

Is there any reason for me to file? A. If you get a disability payment from the Veterans Administration that is not based on a service connected disability, the amount of this payment would be deducted from any disability insurance payments to which you may be entitled. However, even if you would not receive an immediate payment, you should file to freeze your record to protect the amount of payment you would receive at age 65. Q. We have a grandchild tha't has lived with us for several years.

Will we be able to draw-Social Security benefits her for when I retire? A. She would not be eligible as a grandchild, but only if she has been legally adopted by you. Q. I understand I must pay-Social Security tax on a cleaning lady that works 2 days a week in my home. How do I make the proper reports? A.

Ask the local Social Security office at 426 -5th Street. Columbus for a card to notify the Internal Revenue Department. Mail it in to the Director of Internal Revenue. Indianapolis. Indiana and they will send you forms and instructions.

I am 64 and have just I understand that wonvn can now draw benefits at pl-o 62 but will get onlv 80'; of the full amount. Should I "not wait until I'm 65 to file A. If you're Just 64, your benefit will be reduced You should contact the lo-al Security office to find out ho-v mueh you can get. but you'll have to mae your own decision as to when to file. This might be a much better world if a person's conscience hurt as much before as after.
