As a member of the Forgotten Generation, those young men and women of the ages 25 to 35, who came of business age in the past ten years, I see no hope or promise in the-continuation of the New Deal. My generation, never having enjoyed the fruits of honest endeavor under the New Deal, is anxious to obtain its place in commerce and industry, a position denied today. After eight years of hoping and waiting, the New Deal has produced no opportunity in business but instead, has saddled us with conscription, which will again postpone our prospects of success. We realize that the present administration hai? A thought of helping us, but rather to use us to further its own purposes. We are tired of this administration's bungling in foreign affairs, its persistence in sending wealthy playboys to represent us in foreign lands --for we believe the Bullitts, the Cromwells and the Kennedys are responsible for our present position in foreign affairs. We are sick at heart when we contemplate the sapping of our generation's strength through C. .C C. and the W. P. A., for we know that these men would rather have a chance to advance in industry than stagnate in camps under gpvemmental care. We are disgusted with the "royal family" policy which the present generation of Roosevelt's yacht cruises and the first lady's commercial writings down through the magnate sons* aventures in insurance, radio and movies. We are not poking fun when we say "we want to be captains, too' but rather are serious in condemning the blatant violation of our oldest tradition, that all of us have equal oppoi - tunities under our Constitution. We resent the administration's drift towards bankruptcy, for we know that it is our generation and our children and grandchildren that are going to have to pay for the "dreamer's folly."

A delicious,lunch was generation knows that the tradesman j served after which the guest of honor We know that the young farmer of is the backbone of industry. our generation has better tools, better knowledge of crop production and soil conservation through our great universities and colleges, but we also know that he hates regimentation, laughs at "plowing under schemes" and longs only for the markets the New Deal has lost for him. Why, then, do we turn to Willkie? The answer is as simple as our complaint. He knows labor, opportunity and success, because he came up the hard American way. He is a sincere, Godfearing man who practices what he preaches. He knows what constructive recovery is and he will lead us away from the brink of bankruptcy. He has worked with his hands on farms, with his experience in the crafts and with his intelligence in business, and knows that the halter must be taken off the neck of business before it will seek expansion in new fields^ My generation loves its country, believes in it and has faith in its future. All it wants is the opportunity to use the gifts, which God gave us, in honest fields of endeavor, working for the success that is our birthright. We believe Wendell Willkie will give us that chance. ~^ A ROBERT HOFF/ Plane for Suicide Sealing an airplane after a girl jilted him at a dance, young Heinz A.

Wage earners, the direct beneficiaries of the old-age and surrtrors insurance system, would be wise if they made a survey of operating facts to determine just how well their interests are being protected. Such a study would show that in a few cases inspired workers are not getting full credit for their earnings. And it would show why. Writers and public speakers who try to extend the public's knowledge of this great insurance enterprise of the government have popularized the assertion that its operation is in the hands of a "three-way partnership," the employees, the employers, and the Federal Government. Not a bad figure of speech but a little misleading. The employers and their employees pay the bill--each pays a wage tax of one per cent and the Government, through the Social Security Board's Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, does the administrative job. Administration of the system is, if measured by the volume of work and responsibility, far more important than the jobs asdi^ned either the employees or the employers. It is the government's job to maintain with scrupulous accuracy the wage accounts of more than 50,000,000 men and women. Through more than five hundred field offices of the Social Security Board, corresponding roughly to the local agencies of an insurance company, it extends a personal service to the millions of insured men and women. Finally it has the responsibility of settling the constantly growing number of insurance claims. These range from simple claims for retirement insurance filed by a man after he reaches 65, to those coming from the widows, children and even dependent parents in the event of the insured worker's death before he reaches the age of retirement. The job allotted to each individual employer is, by comparison, of minor importance but absolutely essential to the success of the Government's administrative task. Every three months he sends to the collector of internal revenue his taxes and those of his employees. He is required to act as their agent. But of more importance to the employee, the employer is required to send with his tax return the name of each of his employees, the employee's account number, and the wages he has paid him during specified periods. This is the information needed by the Social Security Board for the maintenance of each of the millions of- accounts. The employer wants to do his part as well as it is humanly possible, and here is where the employee's co-operation becomes essential. Unless he sees to it that his employer has his social security account number and his name exactly as it appears on his account number card, his wages, as reported by his employer, cannot be credited to his social security account. Officers of employee organizations might be performing a valuable service to those on their rolls if they were to start a campaign to impress upon every worker the advisability of taking the simple precaution of seeing to it that his employer gets the information he must have if he is to inform the Government of every dollar of wages paid. Any employee whp is wondering if all of his wages have been credited to his Account can get the answer for just one cent -- a penny postsg* stamp. The Social Security Board has made available at every one of its field offices a simple post-card for --a "wage inquiry card"--that he can fill out and mail to the Board's accounting office at Baltimore. An examination of the records there will show the amount posted. If it i« less than it should be the Board and the employer, acting co-operatively, ^ill do their best to straighten out his account. RECEIVES BROKEN LBO ' Nick Weber, who is employed on the Raymond Freund farm near Spring Grove, received a fractured leg last Thursday afternoon twfcen a horse threw him and then stepped on his leg.
