Mixes case unusual.
Here's what he said:
Ordinarily I would not be
inclined to approve special
legislation which not only sets
aside a provision Of general law

I agree with the Congress that

SECURITY FOR you
BY RAY HENRY

February 20, 1854, was one Of
the happiest days in the lives
Of Verne and Elizabeth Ovens.
After q long year Of waiting
the Milwaukee welfare agency
had decided to let them adopt
q SON. They'd never been able
to have q child Of their own.
But there was q technicality
Seven-months-old Michael
couldn't legally take the Ovens
name for q year-the trial pc
riod for adoption in Wisconsin
Then on August 20 tragedy
hit. Verne Ovens died.
Checks With Once
A few weeks later Mrs. Ovens
visited her social security office
She was told she was eligible
for monthly payments as Mr..
Ovens survivor and because she
was caring for 6-year-old Kath-
leen whom the Ovens had
adopted q few years earlier.
But she was told she couldn't
collect any additional money
for young Mike. The social Sc
curity law says q child isn't en-
titled to monthly survivors, pay
mentS unless he ID has beer
legally adopted or CD is in the
same status as a legally adopted
child under the laws Of the
State where he lives.
Michael wasn't q legally
adopted child and wasn't con-
sidered as such by Wisconsin
law.
To Mrs. Ovens, this seemed
unfair. Furthermore, she
needed all the financial help
she could get to care for Kath-
leen and Mike while they were
growing up.
She was determined not to
80 to work and deny the chill
dren her constant care.
First. she turned back to her
social security ONCE. She asked
to have Mixes case reconsid-
cred. She got the same answer:
Mixes not eligible.
Special Referee
Then. she asked to have her
case put before q special social
security referee. He would hold

THE PROBLEM

Leon S.-All I've got is q

Ethel SIS it stingy to try
to stretch the dollar?
THE DETAILS
Leon S.-My wife and ! met
and married when we were both
in the Army. We were both far
from home and lonesome and
We enjoyed one another's COM
pany, so marriage seemed like
the natural step.
That was two years ago and
We sure have learned that mar

about q lot Of things because
we have such different ideas,
but mostly we night about
money.
Ethel Is about the stingiest
person ! ever met. She won't
buy anything unless it's on
sale. She refuses to buy on
time. She says we've got to
have q big bank balance before
we start having q family.
All Of my friends have cars,
homes, kids and all I've got is
q handbook. Is this living?
Ethel S.-You'd think I was
pocketing Icons hard-earned
money for my own personal
use the way he talks. ] am
saving for our future, the
future Of our family. I work
just as hard as he does and
earn almost as much. Surely
! have q right to have my say
about how the money is spent.
I was shocked when I visited
Icons home after our marri-
age. His folks are up to their
necks In debt. Everything is
bought on time. They never
get ahead. My parents taught
me not to want things I can't
pay for right out Of my own
pocket.
Leon calls me stingy, but is
1t stingy to want to stretch the
dollar as far as possible? He
ought to be grateful for q wife
like me who knows how to
make ends meet. He doesn't
appreciate his luck.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
One reason young persons
are cautioned against hasty
marriages is that they lack the
wisdom and experience to size
up an individual and his values
quickly.
In the service, where every
one is away from family.
friends and customary actiV-
tiles, this is particularly true.
There is little opportunity for
individual tastes and values to
md expression.
Leon ana Ethel were unwise
to marry without having met
each others families. Family
visits would have given them
some clues about one another.
It certainly would have opened
discussion about some Of the
matters that now cause so
much difficulty.
A marriage in which there
Is a conflict Of values may be
difncult. but it can be made
successful and even richer in
some ways than most, If the
partners honestly desire it.
Leon and Ethel have much to
give one another II they open
themselves to q new way Of
looking ct things.
Leon is now convinced he is
right-Ethel is Stingy. Ethel is
sure nothing can be more
virtuous than mot to want
things I can't pay for out Of
my own pocket"
Yet each point Of view has
its limitations. A life spent one
step ahead Of the bill collector
surely lacks peace. On the
other hand, a life devoted to
stretching the dollar" could
result IN nothing more fruitful
than exactly that.
Leon is justified in complain
ing that his handbook is a
poor substitute for the chill
dren he wants now-not when
the bank balance gets big
enough.
Yes. Leon ought to be CRATE
full for a wife who knows how
to make ends meet" and Ethel
ought to be grateful for a
husband who wants to live as
fully as possible. They can
make a wonderfully happy
compromise out Of the situa-
ton II they give it a good hard
try.
