3 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE TktrWay. S*r*mb*r ». 1»S9 By SPECTATOR . . . COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS is about a boy from Europe who came to America and found work on a great wheat farm out west. The lad wrote to his father: "Dad, this is a great country; and they feed us well; we have meat three times a Week." His employer read the letter and said, "Why do you meat three times a day.” "Yes, ! Sir," said the lad.

Real ly what we call Social Security is officially ’Old Age and Survivors Insurance ” I’m wondering who will survive it, but let’s look into it. "Social Security" embraces many things, including unemployment compensation. All this was bom or spawned afxmt the same time; all being part and parcel of Mr. Roose-1 veil's plan to save every man at’ 1 the other man' expense The Old Age and Survivors In-1 surance or benefit was to require the employer and the employee to | split the fee. each paying one half the fee on the wages or salaries up to a certain amount. A man at sixty-five may be retired and so may draw social security based on his contributions and that of his em ployer—a cmpulsory form of in surance that probably is wholly be yond the scope of the national au thority, certainly as regards occu pations wholly intrastate. Now, if a man at sixty-five* draws more than $120 a year from some job he may lose his Social Security. In a case I know a man entitled to about $108 a month and $54 for hjs wife will lose his Social Securityj payment if he earns more than $1200. His loss would be for himself and his w jfe $162 a month because he earned $125 a month. The question suggests itself: How can a man support himself and his family even on $162 if his scale of living and usual wage called for substantial Social Security p a y- ments? Of course I know about the limit of taxable income In the early days the revnue from ! Old Age payments resulted \in a trust fund of billions of dollars. Naturally the politicians couldn’t rest easy with so much money around, so they broadened the scope until today that great trust fund has been wafted away into innocuous desuetude. If much of the present arrangement isn’t a travesty it is at least a give-away without due re gard for arithmetic as applied to money. " ' — J. R. Crawford SURVEYING CLINTON. S. C.
