Old-age insurance was designed
as the major feature of the Social
Secutity System, but it has never
become so. Though the makers of
the law hoped that old-age assist
ance or relief would be supple
mentary, relief has remained fore
most in size. Such wholesale de-
probation of thrift and provision
for the future as is now proceed

SOCIAL SECURITY MIsCUE

Something unforeseen and un-
fortunate has developed in h e
Social Security System. The av-
erage person over 65 claiming
need obtains considerably more
money as relief from the Govern
ment that h average retired
worker W h o qualities for the
Governments old-age insurance.
Payments of old-age insurance
in January averaged $23. sc f o r
the month. But grants of old-age
assistance or relic f averaged
S37.57. T h u the elderly who
were practically destitute drew
60 per cent mnoe than the insur-
ed.
The number of persons receiv-
ing old-age assistance or relief
a January totaled 2, 338, GAS.
This was 1000, 900 more than the
l,342, 1863 aged persons drawing
old-age insurance. Bestowals of
relief or old-age assistance came
to $S7, $50, LAG for the month, as
against $3l, 1867, 653 for old-age
insurance, or nearly triple.
Increasingly, the elderly man
or woman w h o has little or
nothing has been favored in the
amount of money supplied by the
Government. This feature of the
Social Security Syst e m has
operated to discount indepen-
dence, self-denial and thrift.

sources and those of their child

asked her when she turned down a

NO" she retorted, mot to the

Miss Holm prepares for these
family disputes by vigorous ex-

spirited and witty conversational

complexion. People who meet her

makes Miss Holm madder ma
turally. she would rather have it
the other way around.
She is talkative but soft-spoken,
except when the comic in her
hlumphs over the Emily Post.
