It seems Jason and Jennifer went around the neighborhood inviting area persons to come to the party, asking each to bring something. The big problem was Mrs. Yoder didn't know anything about the proposed party until one lady, new to the neighborhood. showed up with orange juice in hand explaining she could not make it to the party, however, she wanted to do her part by furnishing the juice. Jason couldn’t understand why his mother didn’t keep the orange juice but instead sent it home with the neighbor who, ,as yet, hasn't learned that youhg Jason has a very active mind and is always thinking of unusual things to do!

Social Security information was presented by Herbert Bultemeier, to the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, on Monday, April 3. Mr. Bultemeier, manager of the Elkhart social security division office, department of health, education and welfare, explained that one of the important considerations is “What kind of social security program do we want and how much are we willing to pay for it?” He reported that social security benefits have increased considerably since the law first went into effect in the 1930’s and that actuaries agree that benefits under a private plan cannot equal those under social security at the same cost. It was mentioned that some believe that social security should be voluntary, but it was felt that this would increase taxes for welfare because people would not invest wisely for the years after retirement.
