OTTN TAOl MINI- Uncle Sam’s Postwar Plans Rof«r Dneosaea NE W S of -f! Social Security. Babson Park. Mass., Jan. 26.—^We hear much from Washington about “the need for more manpower,** and hear even more from labor about the “need for higher wages.” Perhaps both are needed; but government offi cials and labor leaders are making a big mistake to do so much talking, about It. Why? Here la my answer: Such talk is drivlhg employers to in* stall more and more labor saving ma chines and processes which may add chaos to confusion after the war. Let me explain: Readers are" con tinually asking for reason for the deduction on their pay envelopes. One came in to me this morning from a single person getting ISO per week with four pay envelope deductions: 1 per cent for social security; 1 per cent for unemp^ment insurance (col lected from OTOinoyees In only a few states but from employers In all); IS 7-10 per cent for Income taxes; 16 2-S per cent for U. 8. savings bond purchases. All of these took about ten dollars out of bis pay envelope. The last Item was partly voluntary and this bond purchase can be redeemed at any time but the other three are com pulsory and make big leaks In all pay envelopes. Of the three compulsory deductions to your pay, the income tax money you can kiss good-by. That is your contrlbutton to the war and surely it is very small compared to what oar boys in the service are paying in blood and sweat The social security pay- ment is to give you “ten to fifty-six dollars” per month (depending on years of employment) when you get too old to work, plus 1-2 worker's benefit for wife when she is 66 years of age, while the unemployment In surance Is to give yon from two to SO dollars a week, depending upon State In which you ..reside for first weeks of your next period of on- employment to be caused by the labor saving machines and processes which employers ars now bsing forced to Install. Because some reports claim that Uncle Sam is spending your soclsl security psynsents for current expen ses Instead of investing the money or “saving it np*' as an insnranes company would do, soma peopls ars fearful. They are afraid that when they get old or become unemployed. Uncle Sam or the State will not have the money “in reserve” to yap the promised benefits. Don’t let any in- surmhee 'talesmen scare you with such foolish talk. The U. S. Treasnry it investing yonr weekly payments In Oovemment Bonds or their equivalent which is the very best Investment any insurance company ever made with your money. When you depoeit money In a Sav ing Bank, the bank does not lock your money in its vault and wait until you wan t'to draw'' ft out The bank loans it to some one to build a bouse or do something else—or the bank itself may nse it to buy Oovemment bonds! In this case the money is being treat ed Just the same as your Social Se curity money is being treated. As to bow much your Social Security money will buy—In food, clothing and shelter —when you get old is another ques tion. This depends upon bow long the war lasts and the postwar infla tion. There, however, is nothing to fear from the argument that “the Private Richard Cole, whose, wife, Bessie, resides in this city, has been wounded in action in the European theater of war. according to a war department announcement T-6th Albert Kirkland, son of Mrs. Flora Murphy, 700 Fair street, this city, recently celebrated his first sn- nlversary of overseas service.

General Lucian K. Tiuscott, Jr.’s Fifth Army in Italy. Rocket lAimchers Several new rocket launchers or “baxooku” were added last yesr to the infantry model first announced by General Electric in 1942. Among the new types were the paratroop model, the flying baxooka, and the portable field artillery type. All stemmed from the original bazooka, and like the first, were engineered, developed and produced by those who In peace years had devoted their attention to wash ing machines and other household ap pliances. t'teiiiy ui trees There arc approximately 4,000 trees and 12,000 shrubs on the campus of the Pennsylvania state college. COHPLETE CAR SERVICE To Assist In Making Income Tax Returns Federal income tax returns for the calendar year 1944 are required to be filed by every citizen or resident of the United States (Including a minor) who had |500 or more gross income In 1944.

All income tax re turns must be In the office of the Col lector of Internal Revenue, Columbia. S.

Federal Government. has no rosenrs funds” for you. - One more thing—Because the pres ent Social Seenrlty rate of 1 per cent now providea “more than enough money’’ to meet all requlremehts, it probably, nevertheless, should be creased Immediacy after the war to 1 per cent. This would be according to the advice of expert insurance sta- tisUcal actuarlea. The fact that the States now have a reserve of five bil lion dollars for unemployment, etc., is no reason why we should'suspend payments to the Federal Fund. Un less our school committees now wake up to prevent postwar unemployment, state unMnployment funds may be In sufficient to take care of you during the next depression!
