(This is the first of two articles on
“Social Security ¡or the Turmers.")
When the navy announced its plan
for the biggest postwar boom in
history — its intention to blow a
97-ship fleet skyhigh with the atom
bomb—I couldn’t help recalling the
answer which a little girl gave to a
reporter before the war ended. He
asked her: “What do you want to be
when you grow up?” The youngster
replied. “Alive.”
In this atomic era. it’s pleasant
' to note, then, that there are at
least two groups of people in this
country who not only assume that
j most of us will stay alive for a rea
sonable period, but who are making
plans based on that assumption.
One group comprises the radar
experts who earnestly promise we'11
be rocketing to the moon and back
by 1996—stopping to refuel along the
lunar skyway at filler-up stations
suspended in space and perhaps
plucking moonflowers in a hanging
garden.
The second group is the National
Planning association — specifically
its agriculture committee—which
expects.the farmer not only to grow
up. but to live at least to the age
of 65. at which time he will want to
retire. Making that retirement pos
sible is the subject of a new NPA
bulletin by Murray R. Benedict,
professor of agricultural economics
at the University of California.
Why is the farmer so favored? Is
he the only worker who wants to re
tire and live out his old age in rea
sonable financial security?
What
about the tired-out typist?
Isn’t
the weary welder worthy?
Be that as it may. Mr, Benedict's
retiremenf plan is based solely
on bringing the farmer into the fed
eral social security system. Most
industrial and white collar workers
like typists, welders and butchers,
are already covered by social secu
rity.
When the time comes for
them to quit work for good, they
can count on a small, but regular
monthly income from social secu
rity benefits.
Not so the farmer. When he can
work no longer, he has to live off
