It's High And Going Higher l —-

If mu .'•care easily, get n idy for a f*hock wh-n y u see the Social Security figures for next year This could lx e p i.iliy true if you an an < m ployer who has to nrttch the figure withheld ft >m h employees wage at pay day is this figure has taken a considerable jump from an already overtaxing am* unt of each pay check^ This year you can pay up to Sl7i 00 as the percentage based on the maximum of $ 1800(H) earned. Next year the percentage goes up. am» hcare column is added on and to make matters worse, the maximum goes up from $4800.00 to $6600 00. This is a jolt. In 1966 it can cost you $277 40 per year Tins is especially hard on the small businessman who has a few employees. Not that the larger man do n't have to nay. but it seem*’ that the tax structure the past years has more and more cut into the small man more so than the larger one This in obvious by the number of empty stores and business places one sees everywhere a' the chain and the large business is more .and nacre in evidence. One other trouble is that this figure isn't going to stop here.

Handicapped Get Federal Jobs

Fe leral employment of handicapped workers reached a p acetime record la-t year. One out of every 50 persons hired was physically handicapped^ It is report' d that 9 283 phvsirallv hendirarned workers p’aeed n Federal job® accounted for 1.98 percent of the 468 765 persons hired bv the Federal Government in 1964. This accomplishment has double significance. It is the highest percentage of handicapped workers employed in anv single year since they hogan keeping statirtfc®. and it was accomrishe*! in a ti°ht employment market, when Federal installations wore being dosed and manpower ceilings were in effect.

Regular increases in social security continue for quite a few yea>> and of course, it takes only a short turn- for the boys in W; d ;ngtor to put a little more burden on this tax that alnady is getting quite steep. The big question in many minds of th*’ younger people is, "Will I ever receive anything from this?" It is known that since the start of the social se- < urity program in the 30‘s, that more and more people will be using it each and every year as two things lead in this direction One is that p<*oplc are living longer as the life expectancy grows, so does the output of money. Second, there are more and more people becoming eligible all the time and with th*’ trend that has called for more money, it doesn’t appear that this trend will ever stop. Thore is going to have to be a stopping point sooner or later M-mv wish the program of Social Security would be volunta’*v Thv tool that their own means of p’anning for the later vears through insusance or other investment® would be more to their liking.

Top uith canned, drained asparagus spears and a hot cheese sauce. Frozen filet of sole is easy enough to broil or bake. Serve with another frozen food accompaniment: heated shrimp soup as a sauce with sieved hard-cookcd egg garnish. Macaroni and peas with celery and mayonnaise is an old fashioned favorite, but ii can be rediscovered if you add to it slivered canned tongue. Turkey goes *asily into hash uith chopped cooxed potatoes and a binder of mushroom .wup Place in muslin pans, make a hollow u ith the back of a spoon a*d break an egg in each Bake in a moderate oven until eggs are set. Jt will take only about 15 minu.es if the hash is heated first. Add some herbs to your vegetables when they cook to see how wonderful they taste! One-half teaspoon of rosemary can be added to four cups of shredded carrots, for example. Try mint with peas, too.
