Oregon, for Trans mission through the United States Mails, as a Second Class Matter under the Act of March 3, 1879 IT MAY BE “SOCIAL" IS IT “SECURITY ? Thirty years ago, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, better known as social security, went into effect. It was in tended to provide a minimum floor of financial security to cushion the years of reduced earning power after retire ment. It has withstood all objections raised against it--ob jections centering on its being an invasion of free enterprise, of the employee’s right to decide how much he wished to set aside for his retirement and to choose his own retirement plan. Employers who felt it to be a costly and needless additional expense to business, and not the American way of doing things, have come to accept it. Social security has become the greatest social welfare pro gram ever undertaken involving some 180 million U. S. citi zens. The appalling fact is that most of the people now under social security, and those paying the taxes to support it, probably do not realize that they are not buying an insurance policy, that they have no contract of any sort which guarantees pay ment of benefits of any certain amount, that funds are not set aside for the payment of benefits and that current benefits are paid out of current social security taxes or from funds which the gvernment borrows. If obligations to pay benefits out run the willingness of working people to pay taxes and budgetary limitations prevent other financing, Congress can, any time, change the law to redistribute, withdraw or discontinue bene fits conferred. The fact is that the description of the program given in the official booklet "Your Social Security’’ to the ef fect that 9 out of 10 working people, “are now building pro tection for themselves and their families under the Social Security program’’ and that “the amount will depend on your average earnings” is just plain poppycock. Mr. Charles Stevenson, a senior editor of The Reader’s $263 a month to a married per Digest, has raised the question, son “. . . with either survivor "How Secure Is Your Social to continue receiving $175.83 Security?” This is a ques a month. ...” as long as he tion that concerns every one of or she lives. us.

EXPERT TUNE-UP — and — EXPERIENCED CARBURETOR REPAIR o--------- WARD'S Shell Service 101 North Main Street NYSSA, OREGON • ▼ V V ▼ V AHS CALENDAR I T° I THE EDITOR DELMAR PHILLIPS WRITER DISCUSSES TELEPHONE ABUSES Dear Editor: All of us have read or heard of the use of our telephones by men or boys with a warped sense of humor, but some of these calls have been known to contain a sinister purpose. I refer to those who look through the telephone directory to find names of women who apparently live alone in their homes. This is not an unusual practice. Friday evening, such a call went to an elderly woman in Nyssa. A heavy voice immed iately asked if she was a widow. No conversation followed. Now I feel that thismaybeforstalled by widows having their names listed In the telephone directory in the names of their deceased husbands. This suggestion Is being made so that other elderly women may not be exposed to the deep concern experienced by my friend. Crime is no longer confined to the large cities. - One who enjoys the telephone for the uses intended. (Name on file in Journal office).
