Changes Are Made In Social Security Changes in the social security law signed by President Kerifiedy June 30 directly affect many persons aged 62 or older in this area, giving them social security benefits for the first time or increasing benefits already payable to them. The new law makes the following changes: 1. Men now have an option of retiring at age 62 with lower benefits or of waiting until age 65 and collecting higher benefits. 2. Benefits to widows 62 years of age or over are increased by about 10 percent. 3. Minimum benefits are raised. 4. The amount of work under social security needed to get benefits is lowered. t 5. People who receive only part of their benefits for a year because they earn over SI2OO will have a smaller amount deducted because of excess earnings up to SI7OO. 6. Social security taxes go up slightly beginning January 1,1962. According to Ruth H. Lane, manager of the Fort Wayne social security office, under the new provisions, men can begin collecting benefits at age 62 if they choose, just as women have been able to do since 1956. But korkers who decide to take benefits before they are 65 will get les per month than they would if they waited until age 65, Mrs. Lane said. The sooner a worker takes his benefits after age 62, the greater the reduction in his benefits will be. However, the reductions are figured so that on the average people may expect to receive about the same amount over all whether they get reduced benefits beginning before age 65, or wait until they reach 65 and collect higher monthly amounts. Dependents husbands.’ benefits, if taken before age 65, will also be reduced, but dependent widowers and fathers can receive full benefits at age 62. The new amendments raise the aged widow’s benefit from the present 75 per cent of the husband's retirement benefit to 82.5 per cent, a 10 per cent increase in individual benefits, beginning with the payment for August. The same increase will be made in the benefits of aged dependent widowers and those of aged dependent parents if* there is only one such parent surviving. An increase of up to $7 in the minimum old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits is due CANDIES f MOW AVAILABLE AT SMITH DRUG CO.

beginning with the benefit check for the month of August, Mrs. Lane said. The present minimum is $33; the new minimum payment will be S4O for disabled workers and for most retired workers over 65 years of age. However, if a woman worker claimed benefits before 65, she may not get an increase to S4O even though her 1 benefit is less than that amount. The new leaflet outlining all the changes effected by the social security amendments of 1961 is now available. “Send a card or letter to your social security office and ask for leaflet no. 1961-1. Some Patients Amazing To Psychiatrist By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — A psychiatrist confessed publicly to his scientific brethren (and to medical doctors generally) that when some of his emotionally distrubed patients get better he hasn’t the slightest idea of why they do. “.When a patient does not get better it is easy enough for me to assume that my skill as a psychiatrist is wanting,” said Dr. Ainslie Meares. “But what of the patient who genuinely recovers from his nervous or psychosomatic illness after two or three visits, when he has not been given any direct suggestions of improvement, and he has no real insight into the mechanisms which produced his illness?” These persons have filled Meares with wonderment — and perplexity. . - - Into Two Classes He used to believe, on the basis on his scientific training and experience, that scientific techniques for helping the emotionally ill “fell into two great classes—those which helped the patient by increasing repression and those which helped him by increasing his insight. “Thus reassurance, simple suggestion, supportive therapy, relationship therapy, religious therapy and hypnotic suggestion all seemed to work towards increasing repression. Explanation, analytical psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and hypnoanalysis all seemed to help the patient by giving him greater insight. NEW STORE HOURS 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day except Sunday.

Vast Mission Field In U. S. For Churches By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International A Presbyterian minister in Colorado has been doing a little arithmetic on church membership statistics. He notes that his own denomination, with a total membership of more than 3,000,000, manages to achieve a net growth each year of only about 50,000 members. “This means,” he writes, “that it take over 60 members working a full year with the help of us ministers to add one new member to the church.” He concludes that "something Is seriously amiss in our approach to the great task of winning converts to Christ.” A Roman Catholic scholar, Fr. John A. O'Brien of Notre Dame University, has arrived at the same conclusion. At a recent national conference on convert work, Fr. O’Brien pointed out that in 1959 the 40,871,301 U.S. Catholics won 146,212 converts—one for every 279 members. In the same year, he said, 800,000 members of the Jehovah’s witnesses sect gained 86,000 adult. converts—or one for every nine members. Witnesses Aggressive The difference, Fr. O’Brien suggested, may stem from the fact that Jehovah’s Witnesses are aggressive salesmen for their faith. And they are not embarrassed to use the same tactics that salesmen use. They go out and ring doorbells. They tell their story to anyone who will listen, and even to those who’d rather not listen. It is noteworthy that other religious bodies which have registered unusually rapid growth in recent years—for example, the Southern Baptists, the Churches of Christ, the Seventh Day Adventists and the Mormons—also make systematic use of what : might be called “personal contact recruiting.” i If winning converts were mere- ; ly a matter of prosletyzing peo--1 pie from one faith to another, in ■ order to swell the membership • statistics of a particular denomi- - nation, there might be little point - to these comparisons. r But this is not just a matter of denominational pride, or of e jockeying for competitive position. Many Not Affiliated r There are more than 50 million people in America today who are I not effectively related to any religious body. They constitute a vast “mission field” right under the noses of America’s churches, and any Christian who takes his faith seriously must be concerned about proclaiming the Gospel to them. ft The number of converts won by a church in proportion to its total membership is a legitimate index of its evengelistic outreach, and no church can afford to be complacent about a poor showing in this primary mission. Although Presbyterian and Catholic statistics have been cited above, it should be emphasized that these churches are by no means the only laggards in convert winning. The Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, and other major Christian families have just as good reason to be ashamed of their records in this field. Sit and Wait All of these churches have in common a tendency to sit back and wait for people to come to them, instead of going out to bring Many of their members Would be quite appalled at any suggestion that they should engage in active personal recruitment of new members for the Body of Christ. The best hope for a change in this situation appears to lie in the current movement toward increased participation by laymen in the whole life of the church. This movement is gaining strength n Catholic and Protestarid churches. It is characterized by a strong emphasis on the personal responsibility of every layman to serve as a bearer x of the Christian message. At present, the job of evangelism is being left, in many of the trig denominations, to about 1 per cent of the church’s manpower which consists of ordained clergymen and especially dedicated laymen. If 90 per cent, 50 per cent, or even 10 per cent of America’s Christians begin to act as aspotles in every day life, the convert figures will soon cease to be depressing. • If you have something to sell or trade — use Democrat want ads — they jet BIG results.

Hollywood Hex Is Overcome By Giri By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent LONDON (UPD — If you are Marlon Brando or Elizabeth Taylor it doesn’t matter if you have • a reputation for being temperat mental or “difficult.” 1 If you are France Nuyen it can i be fatal. France is a startlingly beautiful Eurasian (French and Chinese) who found herself saddled with a Hollywood hex — “Too difficult to work with.” In the middle of her starring role in “The World of Suzie Wong” she was bounced from the picture and became a celluloid pariah. That was almost two years ago and France didn't work for a year. It has happened to other young actresses who were never heard from again. But France is makl ing the most of a second chance. “It was almost as if there were ’ a planned campaign to have me t chased from the ‘Suzie Wong’ pics ture,” she said. “Everything I j did was automatically wrong — J makeup, wardrobe and other ' | things. I was needled unmercifully ly. t „ ■ e “By the time I returned from - Hong Kong locations I was on the outside. The word was out. I was > a trouble maker and nobody wanted me. Can’t Find Work "My name made everyone shudder. So for a whole year my career was over. I couldn't find work.” Then Jack Webb, like Sergeant Friday on his "Dragnet” TV show crime to the rescue. «
