And there are some J hanges coming. The so-called Medicare Bill ... or amend- w nents to the Social Security e \.ct, was recently made law n >y the President's signature. n The only significant change u it the present is a seven per ent increase in old-age and ir Usability benefits now being t< >aid. These increases were o y-\o/ln ^ nauc icuuaiUVC IU iltlllUciiy p , 1965. Other changes, how- a iver, are on the way. b For instance, this year an mployed person pays 3.625 >ercent on the first $4,800 ci arned during the calendar v 'ear. Clinton Mills of course, b natches this $174 a year paid >y the employee. This a- si nounts to a total of $358 an- 1! lually paid to the account of he employee's social security ir lumber. d CHANGES JANUARY 1 S Come January 1, 1966. an in- v rease to 4.4 per cent, paid bv d loth the employee and the tl mployer is in effect. The em- b tloyee will pay on the first d 6,600 earnings during 1966 ... n n $1,800 increase on earnings axable. This will bring the ci 966 total to $277 for the in- w ividual ... or $554 paid by b PLANT g r.^H This vew, looking lo the west ii hows the location of the new Bailey resent plants.

NEW BENEFITS LISTED The increase in Social Searity contributions will proide a number of changes in enefits. 1. It will bring health in.uance to the elderlv July 1, m 2. It will provide for relaxlg the eligibility standard for isability pensions.

It will provide for a seven percent increase in old-age and disability benefits n o w being paid, retroactive to January 1, 1965. 5. It will provide for an increase in the Snnial fiopnrifv benefits each employee will be eligible to receive at retirement. Social Security benefits for an individual have ranged from $40 to $127 a month; they now range from $44 to $135.90. Through the years, the maximum will increase gradually to $167.90 a month, although this maximum will not apply to persons retiring before the year 2,001. (You would have to be born after 1936). As individual retirement benefits increase, maximum family benefits will gradually increase from $254 a month to $368. DEPENDENTS' STATUS Another significant change in the Act provides that unmarried dependent children ceive oenelits while they are full-time students in school or college. Like Snuffy Smith, you may call the F.I.C A. folks "gooder than ary angel." But first, you'd better look at your increases in the amounts paid. Man?Not Machine?Still Solves Problem Best If you think the computers of today have limited application to everyday problems, let us show you how wrong you are: A computer programmer owned two watches. Both of them were family heirlooms. One watrh lnct covon ?x/UW UVVV.U OCLVHIU.') a day, and the second watch wouldn't run at all. So this programmer presented this problem to the computer. Which watch should he keep and which one should he throw away? The computer told him to get rid of the one that lost seven seconds. When he told the computer it had crossed wires, the machine came back with this explanation. The watch that lost seven seconds a day would be right only once in 17 years, but the watch that didn't run at all was right twice in everv 24 hours! No . . . man will not be replaced bv machines.
