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.

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).
