Nation To Observe
«Senior Citzen Month
“Older Americans in Action”
will be the theme as the nation
observes Senior Citizens Month
in May, according to Robert R.
Peckham Social Security
Branch Manager in Ontario.
In proclaiming Senior Citi
zens Month, President Nixon
said the theme "points our
attention to the basic fact that
most older people are not mere
onlookers In our society--nor
are they society's wards. They
remain vital, versatile, and
highly valued contributors to
the quality of American life."
"Social Security is active In
helping older Americans re
main active and involved,"
Peckham said.
According to Peckham, So
cial Security now pays over
$2 1/2 billion a month in re
tirement benefits to about 18
million people. " Payments have
increased more than 50percent
since 1969," he said. "Recent
change* in the Social Security
law have increased payments to
widow* age 62 and over and to
worker* who delay retirement
past age 64."
In the future. Social Security
payments will generally in
crease automatically with the
cost of living, according to
Peckham. "And nearly every
one age 65 and over can get
Medicare." he noted.
The president said Senior
Citizens Month must be " a
time for strengthening those
human bonds which will ensure
older Americans an active and
honored place in our familes,
our communities and our na
tion."
“If senior citizens have sug
gestions or questions about So
cial Security,” p.-< khani said,
“we invite them to call, write
or visit any Social Security of
fice. Every month is Senior
Citizens Month at Social Se
curity."
The Ontario Social Security
Office is at 2024 S. W. 4th
Avenue In Ontario. The phone
number Is 889-3146.
MAY 6 13
Today Senators Smith, Ou
derkirk, Newbry, Elvers and
Meeker announced a simplified
alternative to property tax re
lief for Oregon homeowners.
The new plan includes a
$15,000 exemption on all homes
for school operation costs. Ren
ters are covered by a 9% credit
of their rent against income
taxes. The Senators also pro
vided limitations on local and
state government. A 6% limi
tation on all local school opera
ting budgets; a 6% limitation
on all state government ex
penditures; and, any new sur
plus developed under the latter
exemption will be distributed
to education as property tax
offset.
The plan involves a limi
tation of $2,000 on the indivi
dual's federal deduction.
Retained in the plan will be
the concept of low income home
owners property tax relief to
protect those low income home
owners who do not have full
coverage under the $15,000
exemption.
The plan provides an addi
tional $31 million to be added
to the basic school fund for
purposes of local education in
Oregon.
