The Old Age and Survivors Insur ance Benefits program, winch af fects the most people is financed through taxes imposed under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act Under the terms of this Act, there are, at least nominally, three “parate taxes imposed. The first ix is imposed directly on each per son who works for wages and must be withheld and paid to the govern ment by the employer. The second tax is imposed on the employer, and although paid by the employer, is carried on his books as an expense incurred for labor. It is, therefore, a part at the employee’s earnings for all practical purposes except the computation of income for tax pur poses. Originally these taxes were imposed on the first $3,000 of wages, but this was raised later to $3,600 and now stands at $4,800. For 1959, the tax on employees and the tax on empioyeirs were each ; they are each now 3%, and they rise progressively until 1968, when the rate for each will go to 4^%. The third tax is imposed on persons who are self-employed, and now stands at 44 ^ of the first $4,800 of earnings, and this rate increases progressively to 64^ ia J96& Each time the benefits of the pro gram are increased, the rates must be increased to a proportion larger than the increase in benefits, for in variably the increased benefits are extended not only to active partici pants, but also to those already eli gible to receive benefits and who are, therefore, no longer paying pre miums. The program has proved inade quate on a basis for retirement in come for elderly and retired people, largely due to the inflationary spiral or cost of living increases we have experienced in the last two decades. At the head of the list of things which are beyond the, reach of the benefiLs received by retirees is medical service, which has more to offer than ever before, but like ev erything else, at a higher cost. The problem now facing the Congress is how to deal with this problem. The problem is recognized univer sally as one that cries for a solution, but on the method of approach there ■ are great and basic differences. The most publicized proposal calls for the inclusion of medical services payments in the Old Age and Sur vivors Benefits This would involve either a direct increase in tax rates which are already burdensome to the point where they are prohibi tive. and or a raise indirectly by increasing the base wages against which the taxes are applied. This ap proach does not face up to the basic difficulty, which is inflation. Infla tion can best be curbed by a de crease in spending by governments, particularly the National Govern ment This unfortunately, appears more difficult as an approach for legislators, and apparently has little chance of prevailing. One suggestion which appears to have merit involves a change in the income tax law. At present, if a child or children of aged parents or .relatives contributes to the medical expenses of the aged parent or rela tive, they can pnly deduct the amount of the medical expense they contributed which exceeds 3% of their gross income. Assistance with payments for piedical services by children for their aged parents and relatives would be greatly encourag ed if the entirely of their contribu tions could be deducted, just as it could be deducted by the person over 65 if paid by him. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spaagh How do you face obstacles, difft- callies ’ In your own strength or in God’s stmegth? Are you living by the "self-sufficiency” plan or the "God-sufficiency” plan? The power of the human mind and spirit coup led with the power of God possess es strength that all the power of the world cannot overcome. Try these simple rules for meeting difficulties and obstacles: 1. Don’t run after trouble and temptation. Don’t court it. Don’t ask for it. Don’t-carry a chip on your shoulder waiting for someone to knock it off. 2. Don’t run away from reality. Don’t run away from problems that must be faced sooner or later. 3. Don’t offer excuses for your weaknesses such as bad temper, bad language, profanity, inferiority complex. 4. Face your problems. Take a good look at each one of them. 5. Get another friend, counselor, or advisor to look at the problem with you. \ 6. Turn around and ask God to look at it with you. You and He should be able to face up to any is sue which life presents to you. 7. Pray and ask God to send you directions as to what to od. Ask Him to send help. He has promised to do it if you will ask Him. *•8. Now work the prayer lever. Archimedes, the ancient Greek sci entist, said that if he could get a lever long enough and a fulcrum he could move the earth. Work that prayer lever against the fulcrum of a life yielded to God. Pray "Not my wiH, but Thine be done.” 9. If you don’t feel that you can work that prayer lever enough your self, get someone else to pray wHh you. Make a prayer compact with that person and claim the .promise, "If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in Heaven.” 10. Now that you have put your problem up before God, leave it there. Stop taking it down and look ing at it. The longer you look at your troubles and problems the larger they become, 11. As soon as the Lord send) down an order, obey it. Follow di rections, but don’t outrun them. The Lord expects you to do your part, and will show you what that part is. 12. Practice the presence of God daily. Learn to pray as you work and as you play. YOU CAN FOR Y0UK OLD MOTOR ^ IN TRADE NOW We need used motors now to round out our in* ventory tomect the spring demand.

Don’t take your problems to bed with you at night. Undress your mind Just like you undress your body. Wash your soul in prayer just like you wash your face before you go to bed. 14. Memorize and claim daily, hourly, "I con do all things through Christ WHO strengtheneth me.” You and God can meet success fully any issue which comes. Stf Paul wrote out, of wide experience, "My God shall siipply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” He will provide the plan if you will do the work. Remember, God helps those who help themselves by fol lowing His plan for their lives. Hartlin^ Infant Laurens—Claude Lawrence Halt, line, Jr., month-old son of A2C and Mrs. Claude L.
