Teen-age Neatness
Then too. like some teen-aged
girls, Grace was not the neatest
individual in the world. Her
bedroom was constantly cluttered
with things she had discarded
and let fall to the floor. Our
other three youngsters all had
bcen taught to keep their things
in order. and so had she, but her
quarters were helter-skelter. ]

and hoping she would grow out
OF it. She did to some extent,
but not entirely.
Even today. she is not exactly
tidy. In New York one day not
long ago, as ! was picking up
things in her apartment. ! said,
"Gracie. I hope you'll always
have money enough to have
someone pick up after you"
Yes, Mother. I hope So" she
said.
Since she became engaged to
Prince Rainier III. I've heard
that there are $50 rooms in his
palace. I often wonder If there
will be enough people in his
retlnue to pick up after Oracle
In $50 rooms!
Haphazard though she was in
her teens, she was not at all
wishy-washy about her ambi-
ton. She had decided that she
would be an actress, and after
graduating from Stevens School
for Girls, she attempted to enroll
in Bennington College, the YER
mont school noted for its fine
drama courses.
Lacked Credits

have failed math If she hao

credits.
Mrs. Marie Magee, an Ole
friend of mine, then came forth
with an alternative. Her own
daughter had gone to the Amer

in New York. and Marie ar.
ranged for Grace to read for the
director, the late Emil Diestal.
He was much impressed by hel
reading. and although he was
swamped with applications, he
made a concession to Grace ano

THE COUNCILS VIEWS

This family is a victim OF @
moral deterioration in family life
that sometimes crops up in this
age Of social security. pension:
and individual independence.
Sylvia is completely right ir
| insisting that the family. as q
unit, should consider the prob.
lem Of the parents. whose finan-
cial independence does not make
them independent either emo
Itionally or physically.
1t may be that Sylvia has moi
shown a perfect degree of tact
lin presenting her viewpoint. but
/ it is far better that she press thi:
great responsibility on her family
than that she retreat for the
sake Of an empty harmony.
At stake here Is not only thu
happiness Of the aging parents
but the future generations. Il
these children cannot manage tt
maintain themselves as decent
warm, unified family in the face
OF old ages infirmities and lone
illness, they will surely have the
same bitter problem. to deal
with when they reach old age.
Social security. pensions ano
savings are wonderful. but they
should be used to strengthen
family unity. not to substitute
for it. When old age and feeble
ness comes along. the necessary
adjustments should be made by
the family in a spirit of love ano
reason.
In this situation. the parents
financial independence becomes
a bitter mockery to them. and
they are actually suffering more
than If they were in want and
the objects of charity. For they
are now abandoned by those who
owe them everything.
These sisters and brothers

pettiness and show their par

should get together and agree
with my parents on some plan

My brother and sisters seem to

that since my parents have some

I feel this is a tragic mistake.

vide a home for them without
some financial arrangement that
would be fair, and I want all of
us to discuss this and work some

My own feeling Is that Sylvia

Mother: 1t is a terrible thing

to face poor health and old age
in a family that is torn apart.

20 years would be $4,000. Add
the $4,000 for the 20 years serv-
ice to the S375 for the first five
years of service, and the total
annuity for the employe would
be $2,375 a year. or $198 a month.
How does this S2,375 compare
to the present annuity that this
same employe would be entitled
to under the present system? AT
the present lla per cent formula,
$4,000 times l12 per cent equals
SIS. This times 25 years of serv-
ice equals $l,875 annually, OF
'$l56 month.
Therefore, the employee would
receive an annuity increase of
$500 a year as a result of the
Senate committee s-approved
bill.

This is because it would give

average of $4,000. The first five

Idren of female employees who

the husband is not a dependent,
Ineither he nor the minor chill

3. Disability retirement bene-
fits would be increased substan-
TALLY. Employees retired on dis
ability would get an annuity of
40 per cent of their average SAL
airy, or. in cases of employees
who entered the Government
late in life, the amount obtained
after increasing their total serv-
ice by the period elapsing be-
tween the date of separation due
to the disability and that date
they attain the age of go. In
this latter group of employees
who entered Government at an
advanced age. the annuity would
have to be less than 40 per cent.
a. Future retired employees
with pensions of S2,400 or less
year could provide a free one
half annuity to their wives when
they die. Those annuitantS
drawing more than $2,400 a year
would pay 10 per cent of their
annuities in order to qualify
their wives for a SO per cent
annuity after their death.
5. Employees could retire after
80 years of service, regardless of
age, with a lesser financial PEN
atty than is now the case.
6. In return for all these ben
efits Federal employees would pay
7 per cent of their salaries in
stead of the present s per cent.

Spectators noted she also had

is half an inch shorter than she.

Actually, annuitieS would be
increased by 25 per cent.
The confusion, however, is
understandable. Here is the sit
uation:
At the present time. Federal
annuities are computed on the
employees five highest average
years salary. The formula is |
per cent OF this salary, plus $25,
times years of service, or / y
per cent of the average salary,
times years of service. whichever
is greater.
The. Senate committees bill
raises the retirement computa-
ton rate to 2 per cent on all
service over five years. Practi-
cally all employees would use this
formula, since in all cases ex-
cept for those earning below
$4,000 year this would be more
than the per cent plus S25
formula,
However, the confusion results
from the committees action in
providing that the present IL
per cent formula would apply for
the first five years computation
and the 2 per cent formula would
apply to all service above five
years.
Some employees have taken this
to mean that the 1i2 per cent
computation would apply to their
first five years Of service in the
Government. And since virtually
all career employees started at
the lowest salary levels, their
first five years salary is usually
much lower than the average
five years salary that they are
allowed to compute for retire
ment purposes at the end of
their careers.
However, the Senate commit
tees bill still would allow Fed
eral employees to compute their
annuities on the basis of their
average five years highest salary
Here is how the committee S
formula would work. For ex-
ample. take an employee whose
highest average f1ve-year salary
during his Government career
was $4,000. His total years of
service was IS years. The first
five years Of the rs years of
service would be computed at
Il per cent of the $4,000 highest
average salary. Therefore, IL
per cent of $4,000 would be SIS.
The SIS times five years of serv-
ice would be $375. The remain
ing 20 years Of service would
be computed at the 2 per cent
formula.
Hence, . per cent OF $4,000
would be 500. And 500 times
