TWO MEDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, April 13, U50 cmem Social Security Law Discussion Topic For Speakers' Club Discussion of the social se curity law featured the meeting of Medford Toastmistress club Monday at the Scout house, with Mrs. Lola Reed as discussion leader. Mrs. Reed first reviewed social security briefly and pointed out that there has been no major re vision of the law since 1930. Various members spoke and it was brought out that as the law now operates, persons receiving social security money, under an Insurance system, are receiv ing less than the outright grants made under old age pensions and that many types of workers are not covered. It was also stated that working wives un der most circumstances cannot collect the money which has been paid in for them. It was said that the name "security" is misleading since payments are so small they do not actually provide security, and there was discussion of the disposition by the federal gov ernment of the large sums of money paid into the fund and now accummulating. Some expressed the opinion that social security, as administ ered, is developing "a nation of wastrels" and destroys the habits of thriftiness and economy in the worker. Others declared that the average worker could derive more benefit by Invest ing the same amount of money In nationally -organized Insur ance firms.
