Mr. K.G Our son wants to marry out of his faith. Mil. K.G Its the fault of the college. Mr. K.G. Three years ago our oldest son, Mark, went off to college, a fine, obedient young son. He was very grateful to us for the sacrifices we have had to make to put him through school. Now he has turned against us and wants to marry a girl of a different faith. We never made any demands on him as far as re ligion was concerned. We let him go his own way, but we only asked that he marry within his faith. I feel the colleges do a great deal of harm by mixing up young people of different faiths and races and giving them no good guidance as far as marriage is concerned. I want to cut off' Mark's allowance and force him to come to terms, but my wife disagrees. Mrs. K.G. I agree with my husband that the whole thing is the fault of the college. They take no responsibility for direct ing the students socially. I feel that the girl's parents should also have more responsi bility in the mutter. The girl is more open to her parents' in fluence, and I'm sure they can break this thing up if they try. I feel we ought to go to them and ask them to do this. I don't think my husband's plan is a good one. If he cuts off AceVIAXinW "Whr You Ar Paid To Save" Sunday. Dcmtr 30. 1951 Zimmerman of Fond du Lac, of his car. Zimmerman was , Mark's allowance, he'll just quit school and go to work and mar ry the girl. We have been too good to Mark. I can't under stand how he can break our hearts like this. Th Council These parents are hysterical and are thrashing around trying to find someone on whom to put tHe responsibil ity for Mark's defection from his faith. They will get nowhere. Neither parent has a practical plan. If the allowance is cut off, it is certainly possible that Mark will quit school and marry the girl. If they go to the girl's par ents, they will probably find these people just as helpless as they are. These parents should recog nize they have no right to ex pect the college or another set of persons to make up for what they failed to give their son. Mr. and Mrs. K.G. evidently wanted their son to marry with in his faith without bothering to give him a clear understanding of what that faith was and why it mattered to perpetuate it through the family. They let Mark "go his own way" ana "never matle any demands on him as far as religion was con cerned" and now when he is nearly an adult, they expect him or his college to become aroused about something that is com pletely foreign to his back ground. Being Unfair They are being unfair to Mark when they expect him to con sider their hearts before his own when it comes; to marriage and they are being unfair to the college when they expect it to give guidance of this sort. They should have sent him to a col lege sponsored by their faith if they wanted the religious back ground supplied at this late date. The average college today has a mixture of young people of many faiths, races and social backgrounds because many edu cators feel that this teaches young people to step into the adult world with a certain assur ance about their ability to deal with a broad range of individu als. It is assumed that the stu dents' early training and par ental guidance will help them in their choice of a marriage part ner. The best course these parents can now follow is to ask Mark to discuss the matter fully with a clergyman of his own faith. It is possible that he can still gain a new insight into religious mat ters. The parents might follow Mark's example and gain some religious insight of their own. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) Change Jack Taken From Restaurant A bag containing about S15 in small' change was reported taken in a break and entry Fri day night at the Crispie Creme DoNut shop. 912 South Central ave., city police reported Sat urday.

Social Secu To 9 Millio Social security benefits at the end of 1956 are being paid to 9.U0,O0U persons at the rate of S485 million a month, according to W. V. Kusuaum, district man ager of the Medford social se curity office. Insurance benefit payments to women beginning at ae 62 first became payable for November and already 375,000 women in the 62-65 age group have started receiving monthly checks. About 3 million members of the armed forces will start in January to earn old-age, sur vivors and disability insurance protection on the same contribu tory basis as about 55 million civilian workers earn theirs. Social security taxes will be deducted from the pay of mem bers of the armed forces and the government, like other employ ers, will pay an equal amount. Members of the armed forces received gratuitous social se curity credit for military serv ice in World War II and up to Jan. I, 1957. but they made no tax contribution for this cover age. About 200,000 self-employed lawyers, dentists, osteopaths, veterinarians, chiropractors, na turopaths and optometrists will get social security credit for their 1956 earnings. Along with the self-employed people who Death Takes Former ' Hornbrook Resident By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN Hornbrook Word has been recevied here by Mrs. Ruth How ard Cummins of the death of her uncle.

At the end of the year ap proximately 60 per cent of the 10 million persons past age 65 who are without income from employment were receiving old- age and survivors insurance benefits. More than 60 per cent of the paternal orphans in the country were receiving survivors insur- ; ance benefits. Money to pay the benefits comes from the old-age and sur- vivors insurance trust fund, j which is built up from social i security taxes paid by em ployees, employers and self-employed people covered by the law. This fund is kept separate from all other treasury receipts and can be used only to pay social security benefits and the costs of administration of the program. j During 1956 the trust fund re- j ceived S6.6 billion, of which I $525,000,000 was interest on that 1 part of the fund which is not needed for current benefits and i is invested in government se-: curities. ' Benefit payments for the 12 month period ending Dec. 31, 1956, totaled $5.7 billion. Ad ministrative expenses for the same period were 5133,000,000. Eight million dollars went into i the trust fund to be held for fu- j ture benefit payments. The total i assets of the trust fund as of Dec. 31, 1956, were S22.5 billion. Beginning Jan. 1 the social security tax which workers pay, and which is matched by their employers, will be raised from 2 per cent to 2', 4 per cent. The social security tax paid by self employed people on their earn ings in 1957 will be increased from 3 per cent to 3 38 per cent.
