His second count was the prac tice of giving something for noth ing. Replying to the argument of the good that is done for the poor student by so-called social promo tion in school, he asked what this does to the good student who sees that all his ability and effort brings him no greater reward than is giv en the poor student. He told of one school from which 32 students graduated and each received a prize, even if it was merely for giving promise of winning next time if he didn’t win then. Speaking of the less brilliant stu dent, Doctor Gaines said that “The sooner he knows he is not so smart as his brother, the better for him.” He said that this something for nothing education, translated be yond school, results in an attitude that the government owes every body a job. Failure to recognize inherent dif ferences were listed by Doctor Gaines as a third count. '‘That each person should be developed to his utmost ability” is an obligation of society, he said. Failure to recog nize these fundamental differences has resulted in a decadence in American leadership. “We’ve watered down our Ameri can education to take care of every mother’s child and thus have cheap ened our educational system,” he said. Ignoring of the religious ..and. spiritual values was his fourth count. “We are a nation of religious il literates as a result of a miscon ception of a clause of our constitu tion,” he said, adding that educa tors should agree on a common con cept of moral and spiritual values regardless of religious denomina tion.

Soy "I Sow It In The Chronicle" — Thonk You! Social Security Legislation Probably Have To Be Revised Here is the updated picture, as es timated by Robert J. Myers and Eu- gent A. Rasor, chief actuaries for the Social Security Administration: Under present law, costs will run almost a billion dollars or more per year higher than previously expect ed, starting in a few years and run ning on past the year 2000. This would put a drain on the vast social security reserve fund. Under present tax and benefit schedules, and under average or most plausible conditions, the fund would fall far short of the previously ex pected peak of more than 100 bil- j lion dollars. | Then it would drop off much more j rapidly than expected until it is wiped out somewhere between 1995 and 2023. At that point, costs of the program would be exceededing in income by from three to six billion dollars annually. Possible Changes Congress, however, might step in and change the picture before the program reached that point if it i wanted to retain the concept of a big trust oh reserve fund. Or could let the fund die out and shift to a pay-as-you-go basis, levying taxes each year to pay for each year’s benefits. Myers cautioned, in an interview that all the estimates are based on many unknown variables, such as economic conditions and the rate of births and deaths far into the future. The current figures, he noted, are no more final than the earlier ones.’ From the outset, he added, it was contemplated that Congress might J have to adj-ust tax-benefit schedules in the light of more experience. His new duties were completed I last summer, but were not generally! released. He said they suggested significant changes in the picturej and problems which—if the~S5tI-T mates are right—Congress eventual- ' ly would have to wrestle with, but j not necessarily any time soon. The original idea, when the pro- gram was begun in 1935, was that special social security taxes would far exceed bnefit payments for, man yyears to come, with the sur plus piling up into a huge trust fund or reserve. This fund already has climtoed to about 18billion dollars. Later, as more people reached re tirement age, costs were expected to exceed tax income. But interest from the trust fund was expected to bridge that gap, and keep the program self- TROYLINGS Styled by Seymour Troy MAY cobra medium Calabash Calf Bow with gold tips SONATA medium Grey Lizard MILTON’S East Side Public Square Laurens’ Most Modern Shoe Store” Telephone 803 Laurens, S.
