Qld Age Benefits Soon Due

February 1 will be a big day for many an elderly Amerivan. For on that day the United States Treasury will make
its first old age retirement payments, under the terms of.
the social security act. To be eligible for the benefits you
must. be 65 (by January 1). must have worked in six different calendar quarters since the end of 1936, and must
have earned $50 or more during each of them. Persons of
65 who can~t quality may work on until they have gained
sufficient wage credits. And pensioners may continue to
work after qualifying~ providing they don~t earn over $15
a month. Maximum benefit at this time is. $82.40~for a
worker with a wife over 65 and one or more dependent
children.

~ So government ~social security~ is now, a going endeavor. But that doesn~t mean the problem has been settled. The present system, in view of most economists, is
unwieldy and may prove unworkable, Inasmuch as ~the
sums paid in by the workers of the country must be invested in government bonds, and the money goes into the Treasury where it can be spent for any purpose Congress desires,
there is no absolute guarantee that the future benefits will
be paid as contracted. Under any circumstances unless the
law is changed, the program will increase the Federal] debt
by tens of billions. Many officials of both parties are convinced that the system must be revised.

-On top of that, the present law makes no provision for
the millions of farm and domestic workers, or for people
who own their own little businesses and make smaller incomes than many salaried workers. Persons in these categories are exerting pressure on Congress to extend the
sien to cover them. he

Banks And Newspapers

srs and: banks have at least one thing in common

~ Ne
in the opinian of the Owachita Citizen of West Monroe, Louisiana

Both of them get plenty of criticism.
_ ~The most difficult task that we can think of at the moment
is to run_a bank or-a newspaper to please everyone,~ says the

- Citizen. ~If the banker is conservative he is charged with not be
ing helpful to the community. If he lends the depositors~ money
too freely he is criticlzed when the borrower can't repay and the
bank Closes. The newspaper inan who prints all the news. regardless of who makes it, is criticized and called sensational. If he
leaves it out he is charged with being afraid to print the news. The
best plan for the banker or the newspaperman to follow is to
run his business the way he thinks it should be run and let the
critics criticize.~
It would be an~interesting experiment if ~self-starting~ critics were given charge of the nation~s banks and newspapers for a
periog. It~s a safe bet that they~d rapidly learn a sad lesson~and
an equally safe bet that the public which depends on banks to
safeguard its money and newspapers to give it the news of the
world, would take a terrific beating. Amateur banking and amatéir journalism would be a far cry from the real professional arti
~cles. Sui

Ranking has given the American people and American busi
~ néss unparralleled service~it furnished the financial lifeblood that

built this nation in world record-time. The American newspaper
gives the people better, more complete and more accurate coverage of what is happening a mile away or ten thousand miles away
than the press of any other country. The bankers and the editors will go.on doing these vital jobs while ~the critics critize.~

The emotions were probably one of man~s earliest possessions and
even today are deeply ingrained, being oo up with those deeply rooted

Primitive man could and did give free rein to his emotions as they
arose, but modern men cannot do this without becoming a sCcial outcast.
Nevertheless, their: force and power have remained and throughout the
centuries they have been the foundation of personality.

always take this into consideration
~He should find out what the pation~s emotional life is, how much
he knows ~ or thinks he knows

The tamily doctor by reason of
his knowledge of the background
of most of his patients, having
treated their families and knowing
their: home life as well as_ their
emotional make-up, is in a. position to give sound. advice, encour~agement and reassurance,

Observation~ and study have
proved that emotional factors play
a great part in disease. Very often
| a patient~s. symptoms may be merely nature~s attempt to find.a solution to an intolerable situation: on
an emotional rather than an intel- "

lectual. basis: A physician may be
led to take radical measures and
then find that such treatment is
not a guarantee of internal peace
and -harmony.

Emotions are at work ih every
person, whether healthy and happy
or sick. and sad. To do justice to
any sick person with accuracy
