Interesting Talk
By German Teacher
For PTA Meeting
The April meeting of the Florida
Street School Parent-Teacher as
sociation was held on Tuesday
evening in the school auditorium.
Miss Nancy Owens’ third grade
won the attendance prize.
Following the business session'

many.
i Miss Ricter spoke from her own'
; experiences, stating tnat the young I
people of Germany had found so
many things they were told were
not true that actual experience was
the only reliable source of infor
mation.
Miss Richter was 11 years old in
11941 when all school children were
evacuated from Berlin to countries
already occupied. She with 120
other girls and their principal were
sent (to Czechoslovakia. Their
studies were continued under diffi
cult situations. At the end of the
“To parents and teachers,’ she
said, “is the responsibility for
bringing up children in brother
hood and peace.”
Financing Social Security
Salaried men and women may
wonder from time to time what
happens to the money that the Fed
eral government deducts weekly
from their pay envelopes. Some of
the deducted money, of course,
goes for income taxes used to run
the government. The balance goes
for social security, supposedly to
be held by the government, in trust
for the worker.
But that is not what really hap
pens to social security deductions.
The government is-spending that
money, too, just as quickly as it is
spending the income tax money.
Instead of holding anything in
trust for Americans, the govern
ment is holding merely a vault full
of its own IUs.
What will happen when the genr
eration of present ,workers reaches
65 years of age and asks the gov
ernment to start returning the so
cial security money that has been
taken weekly from pay envelopes?
1 The government can’t pay off
with lOUs. So the government will
have to levy new taxes to make
the payoffs. In other words, more
money will have to be taken away
from the people so that the govern
ment can return the money it has
been holding in trust for the peo
ple.
That is the New Deal and the
Fair Deal definition of social se
curity. Your money is taken away
weekly through the years, and then
you have to pay the money ^11 over
again, in new taxes, when* you
want your “trust fund” returned.

At the conclusion of the first four
grades of elementary school, a for
eign language is begun in the fifth.
Subjects started are carried
through for the remainder of the,
high school course. Beginning in *
the seventh grade students are clas-!
sified in three branches: those who
are capable and willing to attend a
university for higher education;
those who expect to receive pro
fessional or commercial training in 1
special schools later and those whoj
will follow a skiiied trade. In the
latter group after the ninth grade,
two days are spent in school and
four on the jobs for apprentice
training.
