Combrink of the Illinois PMA committee. The problem of providing this ! storage is one of the biggest and most pressing tasks facing the department of Agriculture and the American farmer. At harvest time it is expected that there will be approximately 4,300,000 bushels of corn on hand including a tremendous 'carry-over of about 800,000,- 000 of the 1948 crop.

The "Insurance" Delusion Q: Is Compulsory Health In snrance really "insurance"? A: It is not. And it is gravely Ition.? unfair to the people to pretend that it is. Reasons it is not "insurance": 1. Though an arbitrary "premium" is collected, in the form of a payroll deduction, benefits are neither specified nor guaranteed. In the exact' language of th^ sponsors, certain services are promised "when funds are available," "insofar as possible," and "when facilities permit"! 2.. Sound insurance is based on sound actuarial standard? --and on contracts clearly seting forth both benefits and costs. Millions of Americans have such guarantees itf^t writing -- under Voluntary Health Insurance. But the only guarantee in the Compulsory Health "Insurance" proposal Is guarantee of a new payroll tax -- the amount unpredictable! The Biggest Hoax Q: Did the \ational Health Assembly recommend Compulsory Health Insurance? A: No. After a meeting of the National Health Assembly, the office of the Federal Security Ad-I --. : -- ministration submitted to the The "fingers" at the end 6f an president a "Report on the Na-1 elephant's trunk can handle option's Health" and a "Ten Year I jects as small as a penny.

H? managed to bieak away from his drinking companions soon after midnight and headed for home. He was helped through the door by the nurse. "Is my son here yet?" he demanded, and without waiting for a reply, continued, "Oh, he must be. Show him to me, will you, please?" ' The nurse, . without a word, pulled back some covers and revealed triplets. He blinked his eye's several times, counted them again heavy production localities. This jineans, he said, that numerous bin ' sites must be leased and it is hoped that all'owners of eligible locations will co-operate. The department is also investigating the possibility 'fo improvising storage in vacant structures, such hs com-i jmercial buildings and war plants, j Even with<* this effort on the j I part of the government and re-! gardless of how much can be (done in the future, it still won't be, enough, predicted the state com-' [mitteenian. Farmers themselves j must co-operate and in a big man- | ner. Each corn producer should i weigh the situation carefully and j appraise the full meaning of what j would happen if markets become j flooded with corn. This is no time for selfishness! on the part of farmers to beat their neighbor in liquidating corn, loans but rather is a time for each ; producer to do everything he can ! to provide his own storage, both j for this year's crop and for re-! sealing as much as possible of j the 1948 crop that he now holds ! under the loan and purchase ! ! agreement. j j If this iS done, the storage problem can be whipped, predicted Mr. Combrink. He pointed out that I the government also offers help i and incentive for farmers to provide their own storage. A storage fee of ten cents per bushel is al- I lowed for storing 1948 corn which I is re-sealed. This allowance, said I the committeeman, will go a long j way toward buying a bin which j will help the farmer with his storj age problem for years to come, | Furthermore, producers who de- I sire to do so may also take ad- ] vantage of a government loan pro- | gram which has . been set up to help them in the actual purchase of bins or^cribs.

Biggest Earthquake 'The most violent earthquake in history was that which occurred at Assam, India, north of the Bay of Bengal and Calcutta, on June 12, 1897. There was complete destruction over an area of about 9,000 square miles, while the area of moderate destruction covered 150,- 000 square miles. The shock could be felt over a total area of 1,750.000 square miles, about equal to half of Europe.
