Single copies. 7 cents __ Benefits of Drinking The 1963 fact book on the consumption of alcoholic beverages, and the taxes resulting therefrom, has been received just in time for New Years. is one of 19 states with no “dry” in the booklet indicates that illegal liquor WWnKtion is 3»/ a times as high in the other 31 states as in the the “wet 20.” Illicit liquor, without quality controls or supervision, frequently contains wood alcohol, and leads to the death or blindness or insanity of those who drink it. The average total cost of a fifth of whiskey is the U.S. is $4.64, 58.2% of which goes to the Federal and state and local governments as taxes. .In Indiana, liquor and beer taxes account for 4.5%', of all tax money collected; without the sale of liquor, all other taxes would have to be raised 4.5%. / The alcoholic beverage tax accounts for $lB,959,750 a year in Indiana, while distilled spirits alone make up $11,996,576'. The 25,281 persons employed in the alcoholic beverage industry in Indiana have a $114,849,000 payroll a year, most of which is spent in the state. Indiana put $4,017,795 into the state general fund, and $7,210,133 to special funds, while $7,731,822 was returned to local governments. - The local portion is used to defray cost of local enforcement of alcoholic beverage laws. d The booklet also indicates, that the average per capita consumption of distilled beverages in the state 1.37 gallons, or more than six fifths a year. t? — ’ This is One side of the question. There is another side. Figures indicate that more than *50% of the fatal auto accidents in this area include drinking as a factor. Many of the killings, other than premeditated murder, often start with drinking parties. Drinking by employes during off-duty hours leads to many problems in industry. If drinking were purely personal, and involved no one else — no other drivers or pedestrians, no family members, no fellow workers —then perhaps those who use it as an excuse to avoid life’s problems would have some justification. J|ut “ifs” don’t count. More innocent fives are taken — in wrecks, shootings, etc. —by alcohol in a year’s time than die from cancer. Habit, good or bad, is hard to regulate, and change comes best by learning. However, we can’t expect to be allowed to kill a few times just to learn that we cannot do it. ’ Editorial written by Dick Heller

SocialSecurityQuiz

1. Q. — i’ll be 65 ih March and will retire on March 30. How soon after that should I apply for my social security? A.—. You should apply for social security 2 or 3 months before your retirement date. Ibis will allow ample time to complete the details of your claim, and will insure that your first check is issued without delay. “ 2. Q. — Is there any way I can find out how much social security will pay me, so I can decide if I can afford Jo quit working’ A— Your social security office will be glad to check your account for you and tell you what your social Security benefit will be. In fact, it’s a good idea to talk to a representative while you are just beginning to think about retire0 — O The People’s Voice | S This column is for the use of 1 our readers who wish to. make suggestions for the • general j good or discuss questions of interest. No articles will be | published without signature of I the author. , O O Prayer and Bible Reading in School To the Editor: / The stipulation that and Bible reading in our publicschools, will create an unwholesome atmosphere, because of minority groups, in my opinion this statement is irrevelant, to the , facts under-consideration. Because to suppress such a divine opportunity. will result in creating a great many dangerious problems. To the scholars whose parents are against this When we consider the deep spiritual conviction of our found-' ing forefathers, who Were instrumental in creating and developing an educational system, upon a Spiritual foundation, which has -proven to our nation, that God the giver of all food blessings was deeply honored, by those who had the care of scholars ’ under their jurisdiction. This noble and uplifting practice has trickled down through the channel ’of time, and has found a lodging place in the hearts of our Godly leaders in our present modern system, therefore the continuation of pray- , er and Bible reading, can not do otherwise but reap a bountiful harvest in the lives of our boys and girls. I will openly challenge anyone. to bring fgjjh something that is more wholesome and outstanding, to * open- each morning, of school than Bible reading and’ prayer, now if there is no substitute for tsis rightous program, why should such an exercise be discontinued? What does an atheist have to offer our educational system but trouble and disintegration. Those who are bolstering the suppression of prayer and Biblereading in our' public schools do not seem to understand the motive behind this movement which is much deeper than surface indicates, as their ultimate goal is to take. God out of the class room and when God leaves the world and material programs : sponsored by ungodly leaders, always invites Satan to come in to Shape the lives of students This digression in our higher institutions of learning has z isown in i many instances a marked progress in this direction. In studying recent statistics concerning prayer and a family altar in the home. I am sad to repeat that fifty'years ago forty five per cent of the homes had a family.altar, but today only one per cent of the homes have such altars, which indicates the greater need for prayer and Bible reading in public schools. The following story is a beautiful illustration of the need of prayer and gible. reading in schools. A saintly teache? fervertly prayed- for the blessings of God. on her schools, at the noon hour a tenyear old girl came to her desk, with tears streaming down, her face, she said, “Teacher will you p-ay for my mother.’’ The chain of thought can reach back into .the homes and can make our nation a b itter place in which to live..

ment. He can tell you approximately how much your benefit will be at 65, and what it will be if i you decide to retire before 65. He » can also tell you what proofs you will need when you file your claim. And by checking in advance, you can help your social security office to speed your first check to you. 3. Q. — Friends have been telling me I should file for social security because I’m past 65 years old. I just don’t see why I should because I’m §till working and don’t plan to quit. A. — You should at least talk to a social security representative — and maybe make an appli-% cation even though you are still working. In many cases it is possible to pay some benefits fore year, even though a person works in every month. This is so because of the way in which benefits are withheld because of ein-_ ployment. If you earn $1,200 or less for the year, all benefits are paid. For earnings over $1,200 and up to $1,700. $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 you earn. For earnings over $1,700, benefits are withheld on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Depending on your monthly benefit amount, and the wages you expect to earn this year, it might be possible to pay you for part of the year. The only way to find out for sure is to check with your social security office. If your work is seasonal, you can be paid a benefit for any month you do not work in self-employment and do not earn over SIOO in wages, no matter what your total earnings are for the year. In this case, ‘you should apply so vthat you can be paid for the JglpDths you do not work. 4. q. rm 72 years old and still working. I retire the end of this year. How ®x>n after retirement can I file for social security? A.— You should file a claim for social security benefits right away, because you can be paid for the month you reach 72 and for ' later months, no matter how much you work or how much you earn. However, your total earnings fort the year are used in deciding \ what, if anything is due in benefit payments for those months of the year before your 72nd birthday. , , 5. Q. — I’ll be 62 next April and want social security benefits to - start then. Can I apply now? A.— We cannot take a claim from you any earlier than 3 months in advance. This allows plenty of time to complete your claim, and in this way _we,can issue your first check without delay. But you can come in to the office earlier than this and find out just- - what proofs might be needed to support your claim. Quite often sortie evidence is heeded to prove your age. and sometimes it may take a little while to Tind an acceptable document. If you check with us ahead of applying, we can help you take care of these details well in advance of the starting date for your checks. 6. Q. — Are all household workers covered by social security or just maids ? i A.— Anyone working in or about your home may be covered, if you pay here more than SSO in cash wages for the quarter. ■- ■ >•' —— WHEN YOU , NEED INSURANCE PROTECTION CALL ' 3-3601 Always Ready To Serve You.
