OCTOBER. 1966
Social Security Tex
Federal taxes will increase
on January 1, 1967, by a billion
dollars even if the Johnson
administration doesn't
seek an income tax hike to
help fight the war in Vietnam
or to stem inflation.
That's the approximate size
of the bite increased in retirement,
disability and other
benefits and for the new
health care program for the
aged which went into effect
last July 1.
Some 75 per cent of the in
crease will be applied to the
Medicare program.
The bite in Social Security
taxes next year won't be as
severe as the one last January
1 when both the tax rate
and the ba.v. earnings on
which it's collected went up.
Only the rate will rise next
January?from 4.2 per cent to
4.4 per cent each for the
worker and his employer on
the first $6,600 in earning*.
This will raise the maximum
tax on each by $13.20.
Thus, the maximum payment
will increase from this
year's $277.20 to $290.40 in
1967 for each worker and his
employer.
Last year the maximum
payment was $174 each by
the worker and his employer
based on earnings of $4,600
and a tax rate of 3.625 per
cent. The law wbir?n ocfiw.
ished the Medicare program
also set up a separate trust
fund to pay for it. Consequently
the Treasury Department
and the Social Security
Administration show separate
tax rates for the basic coverage
and for Medicare.
This year, a person who
pavs the maximum tax of
$277.20 will pay $23.10 of it
for the Medicare trust fund
based on a Medicare tax of
.35 per cent.
Next year the Medicare tax
rate will increase to .5 per
cent while the basic rate will
rise from 3.85 to 3.9 per cent.
niiii, .700 or next. year's maximum
payment will g . for
Medicare.

House Num bers
Important
Numbers have become progressively
more important in
our lives. Modern business
and governmental records require
reinforcement of identification
through numbers.
Have you ever stopped to
consider the importance of a
correct house number to you,
your guests, your postman,
your paper Doy, and the utility
service man? Unfortunately
some homeowners paint over
their house number when
painting or remodeling their
homes. This creates a hardship
and inconvenience for
anyone desiring to locate the
homeowner for personal reasons,
or to render a service to
the homeowner. Check today
to be certain your home is
legibly and correctly numbered.
It could be causing you
a delay in service due to the
confusion and time loss in locating
the proper residence.

the little spooks.
Kids in dark clothes and
black faces are practically invisible
to motorists until it's
too late. Make light-colored
costumes ? of flame - proof
material ? and as an extra
precaution fasten some reflecting
tape to hats, broomsticks
or anything else the
youngsters may be carrying.
Keep the costumes short, so
there'll be no falls, and with
no streamers to catch on
hedges or fences.
Use cosmetics and burnt
cork to make up the children's
faces. Masks are difficult to
see through, and there's always
the danger of suffocation
with very young children.
Don'', let a child carry a
candle or torch. A flash light,
preferably with a plastic lens,
inside a lantern or pumpkin
head can be just as effective
and a lot safer.
No sharp objects, please, not
even wooden ones. Tf you can't
buy rubber swords, knives or
what have you, leave out that
type of equipment.
Try to work out some inconspicuous
supervision of the
very little ones to avoid later
heartbreak. Two or three
mothers taking turns can do
the job. Older children may
thoughtlessly leave a youngster
straggling behind, where
he can get into trouble.

Falling leaves and swirlinp
breezes herald (along with
lots of pleasanter things) the
approach of the flu season
Hut the good news this winter,
according to the U. S
Public Health Service, is that
any outbreak of influenza if it
occurs will be minor.
Just the same, flu does
strike a certain number of individuals
each winter, and it's
a good idea to season happy
optimism with a touch of caution.
If influenza should mark
you for its own, how will you
recognize the symptoms? Answer:
some of them are very
much like those of the common
cold, only more emphatic
The throat gets sore, the nasal
passages are congested, there
is apt to be a dry cough accompanied
by chills, fever,
muscular aches and pains. But

Prevention
On a warm Sunday evening
of October 1871, a brief lapse
in carefulness sparked a fire
at a modest mid-west home.
It didn't seem particularly
threatening or uncontrollable.
But it was.
Thirty hours later 2,100
acres of Chicago were a black
cried, smoldering waste. More
than 200 of its citizens had
jicrished, 100,000 icere homeless,
almost 17,500 buildings
were in ruins.
Direct losses were $168,000,(>00
the indirect costs incalculable.
To mark the Chicago conflagration,
Fire Prevention
Week is observed annually
during the week containing

Sometimes penumonia
develops. Best thing is to call
a doctor as soon as you become
aware of developing
symptoms, and stay in bed as
long as he tells you to.
What about prevention? It's
thoroughly possible for those
likely to need it. Flu vaccination
is especially recommended
for those with heart ailments,
chronic lung disorders,
; diabetes, and certain other
chronic diseases. According to
the Public Health Service,
people over 45 and those living
in institutions or other

ante. A reminder of the needless
tragedy and waste of fire,
ihe observance originated in
1911 as Fire Prevention Day
at the suggestion of the Fire
Marshals Association of North
America, now a section of the
! National Fire Protection Association.
Fire Prevention Week was
first officially proclaimed in
1922 in both the United States I
and Canada.
Its message is this: Fires are H
not deplorable accidents, but I
the consequences of neglect I
and carelessness. And Fire I
Prevention Week is a time to H
check defenses against fire I
in our homes and places of I
work, to make sure our per-1
