ANIMALS—AND COMMON-SENSE
Those of us who love animals, usuallly dogs or cats, have a fond-
ness for the animals which sometimes get mixed up with common-
sense. One of the pet misconceptions, we believe, is the belief by so
many that animals arc happier when they are running loose.
Nothing is further from the truth. Dogs, for example, are not
happier running loose than kept in a yard, where they can get
aroper cxercise and where they can be with the family most of the
time. On the contrary, dogs which run loose arc often killed in the
highway by an automobile, get in fights with other dogs, which
sometimes kill them, and which often leave them marked or scarred,
and generally fail to develop the qualities of a well-cared for. kept-
at-home dog.
Much of what applies to dogs above, also applies to rats. Therefore,
those who have a proper place for therr pets and who keep them from
running loose—which often results in annoyance to others—are both
providing the best care for their animals and the best life for them.
And these make the best pets because they develop those qualities
which make for an ideal companion.
TV COMEDIANS
PRICES UP AGAIN
The Labor Department reported recently that consumer priccs
climbed in the month of April for the eighth time in a row. They are
now at an all-time record.
The major reason for the rise in the over-all index is the continuing
increase in food priccs, which are expected to up the general level of
consumer prices for the month of May, also.
As a result of these increases, for the second month in a row, the
average factory worker's buying power was lower than a year ago.
The significant part of this latest trend, involving buying power, is
that buying power has apparently turned the corner again, now de-
creasing whereas it was increasing up until February of this year, for
many months in succession.
The latest report from the Labor Department's Bureau of Statistics
may be another indication that a business pickup will follow the
resumed consumer price increase. This is not certain by any means,
although many more experts arc looking for a piok-up in the last six
months of 1957 than was the case only a few months ago.
Whatever the outcome concerning business, the latest rise in con-
turner prices may result in salary increases and will undoubtedly com-
plicate the economic position of those on fixed incomes, farmers,
and others who suffer when consumer prices rise and income does
not keep pace.
LUXURY BUSES
Now comes luxury buses on the American scene, to be put in ser-
vice between Denver and Pueblo, Colorado, this month. The buses
are sixty feet long and will carry sixty-four passengers.
They were built in Germany and use a new feature, which allows
them to make turns that conventional buses cannot make, even though
tihey are longer. The German invention is an accordian-like pleat in
the middle section of the bus, which allows the vehicle to bend as it
travels around corners.
It is, one might say. a two-section bus, which bends in the middle.
The buses feature uniformed hostesses, snack bars, restrooms, carpet-
ed floors and even recorded music. The idea is to attract passengers
from the railroads, and get them to ride luxurious buses.
It is a good idea and we think that the bus of the future may pro-
vide a manner of luxurious travel, unliike most buses in the past. If
this can be done, then a new form of luxury travel will be offered to
Americans.
The Transcontinental Bus System, which is putting the modern
buses into operation, will charge a few dollars more for tickets on the
luxury buses than on the conventional types. However, the bus is
especially designed as a means of luxury travel and we suspect that
many passengers will want to take advantage of them, despite the
extra cost.
The latest flap in the television industry concerns the loss of
sponsors by several of TV's comedians. The loss of sponsors follows
the various audience ratings, which, to our minds, are sometimes
wrong.
It will be remembered that one of the top casualties in recent years
to television, was the exit of Milton Berlc from television. Then there
was a series of others, with the latest casualties reported to be George
Gobel and Sid Caesar.
Although we are no experts on television comedy, we are keen
enough to realize that Sid Caesar still retains a vast audience and
great popularity among television viewers. Moreover, his program
contains outstanding humor and he, himself, is an excellent humorist,
with talent beyond the ordinary level in the field of entertainment.
We do not agree with the ratings on which basis Caesar is reportedly
losing his sponsors.
We suggest to sponsors, who are now programming a considerable
quantity of baloney, that the ratings are not always accurate. We have
no personal or financial interest in the Sid Caesar show, or several
others we think arc good enougih to be retained, by sponsors. We be-
lieve that some television entertainers are bearing the brunt of an
unjust blow because of blind acceptance of the audience ratings, which
cannot measure the enjoyment or satisfaction derived from a pro-
gram, or the degree of viewing completely accurately.
ABOUT YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY
A man walked into our social
security office the other day and
said. "1 understand that you peo-
ple will start paying disabitty in-
surance benefits in July. I'm 53.
injure;) under social security and
was unable to work for a while
last year because I was injured.
Do 1 have some payments coming
to me?"
No. lie is not eligible f"r dis-
ability insurance benefits. He was
temporarily disabled last year,
and because of it was out of work
for some months. He isn't dis-
abled now. There are no social
security insurance payments for
temporary disability.
Neither arc disability benefits
payable to a woman who wrote to
us last week. She said, "I'm n
saleslady in a children's speciality
shop. It's hard work, climbing up
and down ladders and being on
my feet all day. My doctor says
I've got to stop and take a lighter
job, but as I'm past 50. I think
I'll quit work altogether and ap-
ply for disability insurance." Well,
she's not totally disabled for work.
There arc some types of work she
can do. There are no social se-
curity insurance payments for
partial disability.
To be eligible for disability in-
surance payments under the social
security law you must submit
medical evidence showing that (1)
you have a physical or mental
condition so serious that it pre-
vents you from doing any work,
and (2) your disability has lasted
at least 6 months and is expected
to continue indefinitely.
And here's an important thing
to bear in mind. In order to be
considered "total." your disability
must meet the rather strict re-
quirements of the social security
law. The fact that you may be re-
ceiving disability payments for
total dissbility" from another
government agency, from a
private insurance company, or
under a company disability re-
tirement system will not neces-
sarily mean that you will be con-
sidered disabled for benefit pay-
ments under the social security in-
surance program.
And there is this to remember,
too. To be eligible to get disability
payments at age 50, or to be eli-
gible to have your social security
earnings record protected if you
are under 50, ynu must meet cer-
tain work requirements.
