SS marks 50th anniversary August 14
A ugust 14 m arks the 50th
ahm vqrsary of the enactm ent Of
the Social Security Act. Presi
dent F ran k lin referred to the
legislation as the “cornerstone
in a structure which is being
built*but is by no means com
plete.’’The events of the past 50
years confirm this description.
An important feature of S ocial
Security is its ability to ad ap t to
society’s changing needs. Cir
cum stances today are very dif
ferent from w hat they were 50
years ago, but the program is
ju st as responsive now as it was
then.
In 1930, 5.4 percent of the
population was agei 65 d r older,
compared with 11 percent today.
By th e year 2030, 55 million
Americans— 18 percent o f the
population—will be at least 65.
The average life expectancy
at 65 fo r men is 13 years, and 17
for women. M en and women
now 75 can expect to live another
9 to 12 years, respectively.
The past 50 years have also
witnessed a marked change in
the role of women is society.
W hen ike Social Security Act
first became law, the typical
family unit was com posed o f a
working husband, a homemaker
wife, and one or m ore children.
Today, half of all the Women
work, and they account fo r 43
p e rc e n t Of th e la b o r force.
D uring the last decade alone,
the num ber of women in pro
fessional jobs has increased by
tw o-thirds, and the num ber in
m anagerial jobs has doubled.
, ,The longer lifespan efljoyed
by Americans has been accom
p an ied by low er b irth ra te s,
Todays women have an average
of 1.7 children, com pared with
3.7 in the late 1950’s. If the trend
continues, it is estimated that
by 2035, there will be only two
w orkers paying Social Security
taxes for each person getting
benefits.
As these and other changes
over the past half century took
place, the Social Security Act
was am ended to keep up to date
with the times^ The first signifi
cant am endm ents, enacted in
1939even before the first monthly
benefits were paid in 1940, p ro
vided benefits to certain depen
dents and ’survivors of insured
workers. In the 195O’s, Social
Security coverage was extended
to include m ost types of jobs, as
well as self-employrheht.
Disability insurance was added
in the late 1950’s, and M edicare
was enacted in 1965. There were
also changes in eligibility re
quirements, and autom atic cost-
of-living benefit increases were
first paid in 1975.
M ore recently, the Social
Security Amendments, of 1983
greatly strengthened the program
financing. This flexibility to cope
with and solve emerging prob
lems has been m atched by a
stability th at has kept the pro
gram true to its basic principles.
Social Security has lifted mil
lions of people out of poverty
and has enabled beneficiaries to
live their lives in modest com
fort. The program is as relevant
fOir the 198O’s and beyond as it
was when if was first enacted.

In 1979 Warn} Springs was
aw arded funds to design a pre
vention program. An outside cori-
sultant designed a program n th -'
deled to W arm Springs. Tills
program proved to be-ineffec
tive.
. The.briginal “H ere’s Looking
At You” program was then imple
m ented w ith te ac h ers being
trained on a volunteer basis.
Thirteen of the 18 teachers at
W arm Springs Elem entary ih
the school year 1981-82 imple
mented the program . Fifteen
out of 18 teachers were using it
the following school year;
M adras Jr. High included the
program in 1983 with a pro
gram concerned with both drugs
and alcohol. The curriculum
was purchased with Johnson
O ’M alley funds. All classroom s
at W arm Springs Elementary
except for one fourth grade
class implemented the program
th at Same year. A prevention
educator was hired in 1984.
After three years in use an
evaluation of the program was
conducted using pre-testing and
post-testing on fourth, fifth and
sixth graders at W arm Springs
Elem entary who had been ex
posed to the curriculum. A group
who did n o t receive exposure
was ajso.tested. Knowledge, de
cision making, self concept and
coning skills were the variables
the program .
Self-esteem increased with ex
posure to the prevention pro
gram.
It was found th at decision
making abilities in both exposed
group and the control group
showed a decline b u t the exper
imental group stayed ahead show
ing th a t peer influences may be
counteracting the curriculum but
not so much in students exposed
to the prevention program.
Coping skills were much hig
her for the experim ental group
than the control group.
It was concluded, also, that
early curriculum exposure, be
fore Jr. High, produces more
favorable results. It was felt,
h o w ev er, th a t the p ro g ra m
should be enhanced with parent
workshops,'teacher consultation
and refusal skills. The program
will not prevent alcohol and
drug abuse but may well inhibit
o r blunt such tendencies by stu
dents.
It was determ ined through
the evaluation that, knowledge
of drugs and alcohol an d prev-
ention increased for all three
grade levels for students using
