BOTH STATE AND
FEDERAL FUNDS NEEDED

One more thing: Because the
present social security rate of l per
cent now provides more than
enough money" to meet all require
ments, it probably, nevertheless,
should be increased Immediately
after the war to 2 per cent. This
would be according to the advice OF
expert insurance statistical actu-
aries. The fact that the states now
have a reserve of s5,0OOOOO,O00 for
unemployment, ETC., is no reason
why we should suspend payments
to the federal fund. Unless our
school committees now wake up to
prevent postwar unemployment
state unemployment funds may be
insufficient to take care of you
during lie next depression!

PAY ENVELOPES
HAVE BIG LEAKS

Let me explain: Readers are con-
| tinually asking the reason for the
deductions on their. pay envelopes.
One came in to me this morning
from a single person getting $50 per
week with four pay envelope deduc-
tionS:
Social security, l per cent.
Unemployment insurance (col-
lected from employees in only few
states but from employers in alb,
l per cent.
Income taxes, 1877 per cent.
U. S. savings bond purchases,
16 2-3 per cent.
All of these took about $40 out of
his pay envelope. The last item was
partly voluntary and this bend pur-
chase can be redeemed at any time
but the other three are compulsory
and make big leaks in all pay en-
velopeS
Of the three compulsory deduc-
tions to your pay, the income tax
money you can kiss good-by. That
is your contribution to the war and
surely it is very small compared to
what our boys in the service are
paying in blood and sweat. The So
cial security payment is TO give you
$50 to S56' per month depending
on years of employmenD when you
get too old to work. plus Z workers
benefit for wife when she is IS
years of age: while the unemploy-
ment insurance is to give you from
50 to $50 a week, depending upon
state in which you reside for the
first weeks of your next period of
unemployment to be caused by the
labor-saving machines and processes
which employers are now being
forced to install.
UNCLE SANS CREDIT GOOD
Because some reports claim that
Uncle Sam is spending your social
security payments for current ex-
penses instead of investing the
money or saving it up" as an in
surance company would do, some
people are fearful. They are afraid
that when they get old or become
unemployed, Uncle Sam or the state
will not have the money "in re-
serve to pay the promised bene-
fits. Don't let any insurance sales
man scare you with such foolish
talk. The U. S. treasury is invest
ing your weekly payments in gov
eminent bonds or their equivalent
which is the very best investment
any insurance company ever made
with your money.
When you deposit money in a
savings bank, the bank does not
lock your money in its vault and
wait until you want to draw it cut
The bank loans it to some one to
build house or do something else
or the bank itself may use it to buy
+ government bonds In this case the
money is being treated just the
same as your social security money
| is being treated. AS to how much
your social security money will buy
in food, clothing and shelter
when you get old is another ques-
ton. This depends upon how long
the war lasts and the postwar in
| flation. There, however, is nothing
to fear from the argument that "the
| federal government has no reserve

1t was directed by Charles VidoI
from the screen play of Sidney
Buchanan. It's a Sidney Buchanan
production.
Margaret Bean writes of the movie
in the Spokesman-RevieW and says
Seen in preview, critics finds it one
of the greatest musical experiences
yet provided by motion pictures.
In previeW the other morning
saw a picture that will set another
blue moon in Hollywood heavens
and, undoubtedly, start new trend
in picture-making. 1t was Colum-
bias "A Song to Remember, !
based on the life of Friedrich Chap

and pianist, which will be playing
/ at the Fox soon You won't 60 tt
see this picture once but severa
times. For the first time great mu-
sic has been presented in such q
profoundly moving way that it will
enfold even jitterbugs within its
embrace.
"A Song to Remember" is another
case of an adventuresome and cou-
rageous film magnate, Columbia S
Harry COIN who dared to venture
into what has been the field Of i'm
possibility in the screen world, that
of great music and he succeeded in
great measure. And having struck
the magic formula that interprets
great music to all types Of movie
goers, he will undoubtedly, see 9TH
er studios making similar ventures
After you have seen the picture
believe you will agree with me
hthat it affords one of the greatest
musical experiences you have ever
enjoyed. If that sounds like ex-
travagant praise, then wait until
you see it. And not once, as | have
said, but possibly several times
It's music will take you back.
Strange as it may seem, the film
builds the Chopin music into a
mounting climax as stirring as that
of any sWashbuckling melodrama
that tries to lift you out of your
seat But it needn't seem SO strange
when you discover that it isn't Cor
mel Wilde, the films Chopin, who
is giving the remarkable perform
ance at the piano with the flow OF
the composers famed compositions,
but Jose Iturbi, another great artist
of this generation.
