THE SOCIAL
SECURITY ACT.
While not applicable to Al
aska until such time as the
Legislature sets up the neces
sary machinery to come with
in the provisions of the act,
the Social Security bill which
has now become a law is of
historic importance in that it
provides for the first time
guards against the privations
of old age and unemployment
While not a cure all for the
many tribulations which be
set mankind, it is an honest
attempt to rid the country of
the fear of want and starva
tion from the sudden loss of
a job and the fear of poverty
and homelessness in old age.
How it will work out is a
matter of conjecture even to
those who have drafted the
act, but the objectives are ac
cepted by enlightened opin
on in view of the distress
hat has arisen as a result of
he insecurity of employment
and the ravages to time.
Briefly, the act provides a
ong-range old age pension
system, to be financed by a
income tax on employees ani
a payroll on employers, start
ing in each case at 1 per cen
in 1937 and rising each thre
years until 1949 when eacl
contribution is to be 3 pe
cent. Rates of payment t
qualified workers who retiri
at the age of 65 vary from $11
to $85 a month, depending oi
the total amount of wage:
earned by the beneficiary af
ter December 31, 1936, am
before he reaches the retire
ment age.
For unemployment insur
ance it provides that on anc
after January 1, 1936, employ
ers of eight or more person:
will be assessed excise taxe:
on their payrolls of 1 per cen
in 1936, 2 per cent in 193'
and 3 per cent in 1938 anc
subsequent years. The monej
so collected will be paid tc
employees on a period of un
employment,according to lav
and rules which must first be
set up by the various State:
and Territories.

some of the program the mon
ey necessary will be in forms
of grants by the Federal gov

States must set up correlat

The Mouth
The mouth is an aperture
in the face which is used as
an entrance and an exit. It is
sometimes used to convey
food to the stomach and as an
exit for hot air and vitupera
tion. It is the domicile of
what Confucius describes as
a “little thing which has ov
erthrown empires and chang
ed the face of the world.”
For making love, ruining re
putations, gargling and bad
breath, it is situated most ad
vantageously. The mouth is
used to distinguish between
tea and soup, except in some
cases there is little difference.
If it were not for the mouth,
Huey Long would have had
to wiggle his ears or get his
remarks across with his fin
gers. The mouth is the only
mistake made when the Lord
made Adam. The world would
be a different place without it.

FREEZING WEATHER
Your automobile engine needs careful attention
during the winter months to withstand the hard
ships of cold weather driving.
The first essential is to change to a lighter grade
of engine oil, for better and more certain lubrica
tion.
Next, it is especially important that the oooling
system be clean, leak-tight, and in proper working
order, and protected by the best anti-freeze ob
tainable.
