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.
The club's regular meeting for
April 24 was canceled and plans
made for attending a special
meeting of Ashland Toastmistress
club on April 25. The meeting
will be in the Llthia hotel at
7:30 p.m. and dessert will be

tertaining members of the new
Grants Pass Toastmistress club
May 8 at a meeting nt Girls' Com
munity club, and May 22 mem
bers of a speakers' club at South
ern Oregon college will' be

tyre, and the club cast its vote
