More than 125 of her friends and neighbors, from all parts of the state, gathered to pay homage and honor to a fine lady who has made friends with all whom she served. As county superintendent Gerald Vizard pointed out in his remarks as master of ceremonies, “it was not her perfunctory routine of doing her duty as postmaster nor her efficient manner in serving one as a patron of the store that endeared her to her neighbors and friends — rather, it was her constant and persistent interest in the lives and welfare of all the people in the community that forced everyone to recognize her unselfishness in case of illness er charity in the event of poverty; her consolation at a time of sorrow; hei- faithfulness to her church; her interest in the children; her many, many years of teaching the little children in her Sunday School class; her oldfashioned conscientiousness about raising her family; her contribution to the success of each Daily Vacation Bible School; her personal donations to the needy at all times, and at Christmas.” Vizard continued: “Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick has said, “A horse gets nowhere until he is harnessed; no steam or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is turned into light and power until it is tunneled; no life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined. “You have lived such a life, Mrs Everett, and we want you to know that we recognize the virtues, efforts, and results of your exemplary way of living.” Mr. Vizard closed his remarks with a quotation from the poem, “Dear Lady,” by Pauline Oskowski, Ambridge, Pa.: “God filled the world with loveliness. “His thoughtfulness and care “Are seen in every living thing "That makes this earth so fair. But never did he love so much Nor with a love so true, As when he blessed this world of ours — With ladies, dear, like you!” To this, all of Adams county says an “Amen!” and congratulations to the retiring postmaster and her fine husband who have been such an asset to the town of Pleasant Mills and the county of Adams during the past 40 years, -———

Taxes Chief Concern Os State Assembly

Last week the house ways and means committee slashed deeply into the operating funds Gov. Welsh had recommended for local schools, state universities and mental health. These three fields make up 74% of the state's general fund budget — local school support <40%), universities (22%) and mental healht (12%). The committee gave them only 1/3 of what Welsh thought they needed. The universities faired best, receiving 65%, mental health next with about 33%' but local schools came in a poor last with less than 25%. Whereupon Gov. Welsh blasted the committee, declaring this would mean a SI.OO increase in local property tax lexies next year (two weeks ago this column predicted a SSO million increase in school funds — the final figure was S4O million — and said this would mean SI.OO more on local tax rates). The Republican controlled committee defeated its action by pointing out that the schools were getting 17% more than during the current biennium and the universities 23%. Chairman John Coppes (R-Elkhart) explained the figures were largely arrived at on the basis of the expected new pupils and on “instinct”. “Heretofore, we've known the available funds and divided them up as equitably as possible; this time we don’t know, but are figuring on $l5O million in new money.” And herein lies a lesson. Observers point out we need more than data processing machines, figures, charts and “instincts" to reform our antiquated budget-mak-ing procedure. Goals are needed, a set of values, a framework from which to chart the state’s course. Dus was clearly illustrated when the committee cut $9 million out of the sl7 million request of the mental health department for salary increases and new personnel—despite their plea to cut anything but salary requests. “We will be able to hold the line, but that’s about all,” state health commissioner Stewart T. Ginsberg said. “We can make some improvement but we will continue to be understaffed and overcrowded, and it is particularly discouraging since the president has asked for a ‘bold new approach” along the same lines we were planning especially in the field of community programs.” “Hold the lines” means there will still be only 3 attendants for 117 elderly women who are crowded

bed-to-bed in the geriatics ward of the Logansport state hospital, as this writer had to see for himself recently. Still it was spotlessly clean and despite the hard work, one of the attendants, Mrs. Lois Kiser, -declared she “loved” the work and would do nothing else though it certainly wasn’t for the money (about $225 a month). In the three institutions I visited, there was the same sense of dedication on the part of the workers. They “loved” it because they believed they were doing something for people, they said. “Hold the line” means there will still be only 70 doctors actually treating the 15,000 patients in all our 11 mental hospitals and that other states will continue to try and outbid us for doctors, physical therapists, psychologists (6 doctors have left Central state hospital in the past year and Dr. Clifford Williams, the administrator, has only been able to replace 2 of them); that the out-patient, intensive treatment programs that have been spectacularly successful (almost 4/5 of the admissions in 1962 were released in 1 year and 1/2 of these in 3 months) will be slowed. Observers wondered if La Rue Carter hospital, Indianapolis, would be able to continue to carry its banner high as one of the outstanding hospitals in the country under Dr. Donald Moore, so outstanding that it could attract the noted child psychologist, Dr. Marian DeMyer, and she bi turn a grant in research from the U. S. public health service ahead of Harvard University. “She has been able to attract ten times her salary in research,” Dr. Moore declares. Last year for the first time La Rue Carter was treating more patients on an out-patient basis than those confined to the hospital at a cost per patient of $250 (if they

were hospitalized for the normal 120 days, it would cost the state almost $4,000). “We are at least half way along the road from 10 years ago,” Dr. Ginsberg says, “but Russia with just as high a rate of juvenile delinquency, alcholism, etc. as the United States, has only 12% of its hospital beds occupied by mental patients and we have 50%. One reason is they don't have the hospital facilities to begin with but another is each community has a center for treatment for the mentally ill.” “If I had the staff I could have 85%- of the patients out in 6 months,” Dr. Ernest Fogel, Logansport state administrator, maintains. “There is nothing padded in the mental health budget,” Sen. Robert Peterson (D-Rochester), a member of the senate benevolent and penal institutions committee, says, and Gov. Welsh and Lt. Gov. Ristnie agree. “Ihey could use every penny we could give them,” they said. Yet the most sensitive part of their budget was severely cut. Why? “We just had to balance their needs against what's feasible and what the taxpayer will stand,” state budget director and ranking Rep. William Hardwick, former member of the ways and means committee, explained. “Then how are you going to decide who gets what,” I asked a veteran senator and party leader, as he wearily left the state house at the end of the day. “Oh, we’ll just give every one 1/3 of what they asked for,” he said. I thought he was joking. But 1/3 of the mental health request was just about what they got.

What should the bridegroom and his best man at a formal wedding do with their gloves during the ceremony? A. The bridegroom removes his right glove and holds it in his left hand. The best man does not remove his gloves. If it is a double-ring ceremony, the bridegroom removes both gloves, holding them in his left hand, and then switching to the right hand at the time his bride places his ring cm his finger. Q. Is it ever permissible to lean across one person in order to shake hands with a third person? A. Usually it is better to avoid this. But if the other person seems bent on shaking hands, be sure to beg the pardon of the person across whom you must reach. Q. Is it considered proper to send a male patient in a hospital cut flowers. A. Although not “improper," cut flowers are usually sent to women. A growing plant is the customary gift to a male patient. New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES A.

SOCIAL SECURITY QUIZ 1. Q. — I understand there was an increase in social security tax rate in 1963. How much is this increase? A.— Starting in January 1963, the social security contribution rate was Increased to 3-5/8 per cent for both the worker and the employer. This is a one-half of one per cent increase. Self-em-ployed people will pay seven-tenths of one per cent more or a total of 5.4 per cent on thier net earnings. 2. Q. — I have heard that the social security tax rates will just keep going higher each year. Is this correct? A.— No. The social security tax contributions as set by the Congress under the 1961 ammendments are shown below. Only the first S4BOO of annual earnings is subject to the social security tax. Year Employee Emyloyer SelfEmployed 1962 3-1/8 3-1/8 4.7 1963-65 3-5/8 3-5/8 5.4 1966-67 4-1/8 4-1/3 6.2 1968 and after 4-5/8 4-5/8 6J 3. Q. — As a self-employed person I pay my self-employment tax on 1962 earnings when I make my income tax in the early part of 1963. Will I pay at the increased rate of 5.4 per cent? A.— No. You will pay your selfemployment tax at the 1962 rate of 4.7 per cent because you are paying on 1962 income. Die 1963 earnings will be taxable at the new rate of 5.4 per cent. 4. Q. — I have heard that there are two trust funds; one for disability insurance benefits, and one for old-age and surviviors insurance benefits. If this is true, where does the money come from to maintain these two funds? A. — Die largest percentage of the social security tax contributions of employees, their employers, and the self-employed, goes into the old-age and surviviors insurance trust fund, but a fixed percentage of one-quarter of one per cent each on employees and employers, and 3/8 of one per cent on self-em-ployed persons, is credited to the disability insurance trust fund. Interest earned by the money in both funds is added to the funds. 5. Q. — I have read where the tax rate will be increased in 1963, 1966 and 1968. Why are these periodic increases in tax rate necessary? A. Die number of social security beneficiaries has increased each year and is expected to keep increasng for the next 50 years. In addition, many improvements have been made in the social security program since it was first enacted in 1935. Benefits have been added for the dependents of retired workers and for the families

Says Red Chiro ls Dependent On Russia TOKYO (UPD—Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda said today Communist China is incapable of developing nuclear weapons or even waging a conventional war without help from Soviet Russia. In an exclusive interview with Mims Thomason, president of United Press International, Ikeda said the Red Chinese can not make “one fighter plane” without Russian aid. He said the lack of oil on the mainland of China was serious handicap, and would force the Chinese Communist government to rely on the Soviet Union for assistance in any major military conflict of workers who die. In additon, payments can now be made to disabled workers and their families. Benefit rates have been increased several times to take account of rising price* and levels of living. Income from the tax increases set for 1963, 1966, and 1968 will cover the costs of these improvements. 6. Q. Will the present tax rate schedule remain the the same even though there may be changes in the present social security law? A.— Whenever changes are enacted in the social security program congress fully considers the added costs and methods of financing these costs. Congress has repeatedly reaffirmed its intent that the system should be soundly financed and self-support-ing. In view of this policy, it is possible that taxes may be increased if additional benefits are provided. 7. Q. — I am an employe. Exactly how much more social security tax will I have to contribue in 1963 than I did in 1962? A.— The new rate means you’ll pay fifty cents more on each SIOO of your earnings up to the taxable earnings of S4BOO a year. Your employer will pay the same.

“Die Communist Chinese may explode a nuclear device," Ikeda said. “We don’t know when. But even if they do, it will take at least 10 years before they can develop nuclear weapons.” He said the effect of China’s first actual nuclear test “will be psychological.” The Japanese leader said that if an international disarmament agreement is signed between the United States and Russia, Red China would not agree to any of the treaty terms because it is not a member of the United Nations. But he said this would not be too important for world peace because the Communist Chinese have no independent military force “other than the human wave, the pouring in of manpower.”
