Page 4-B Social Security Report Equity For Women By Lee Wallio Field Representative Equity For Women Under Social Security: One of the strengths of the Social Security system is its ablity to adapt to changing needs. w When the original' Social Security Act was passed in 1935, the United States was a much different place than it is today. Over the years, the law has been amended on several occasions in an effort to keep it up to date to new conditions. The treatment oi women under Social Security is a case in point. In 1935, the typical American’fapvily consisted of a husband--the breadwinner - ana ms dependent wife who cared for their children; and, for the most part, they remained together until “death did them part.” Only about one in every four women was gainfully employed. Today, by contrast, we find one divorce for every two marriages, and more than half of all women - including half of all married women - are in the work force. Obviously, the once clearcut distinction between men as wage earners and women as homemakers no longer exists. Nevertheless, in large measure' of the program continues to treat women primarily as adult depen dents. In recognition of the If money will heljywe’ll help with money Atlantic Credit has been helping family finances work w better for ... over fifty years. With special services like our bill consolidation loan. suiTfiat pays off a pile of bills so you’ll only have one convenient mppthly payment. And a lot less to worry about.

From 3-B emphasize the temporary jobs program, Brown said. While many of the sum mer jobs listed with local Job Service offices are for construction and restaurant work, Brown said recreation, retail, industrial and other jobs also are available. Last summer, 28,290 youths were placed in 42,367 full-time, part-time and temporary jobs. During the 1979 fiscal year, 42,278 youths were involved in 63,319 placement trans actions at Employment Security Commission of fices. whether one or both were employed. u At retirem##, benefits for each would leased on half the total earnings during the time they weiflo married in addition tO'&flfe' individual earnings duping the years they were single. The rationale for this proposal is that a husband and wife are partners in a marriage and, whether gainfully employed or a homemaker, should share earnings equally. In this sense, neither is considered a dependent of the other. Under the double-decker plan, a specific benefit would be paid to every one who met certain requirements, regardless of his or her earnings. In additon, the person would get a benefit baised on his or her earnings covered by Social Security. The issue of equity for women was considered by the 1979 Advisory Council on Social Security, which is appointed every 4 years. The Council suggested that earnings sharing is the more promising approach, but refrained from recommending it since the plan still has to be refined. While the final word on the question of equity for women under Social Securiity has not been spoken, one thing is clear: Social Security will continue to adapt to society’s changing needs -for the decade of the 80’s and beyond.

Additional revenues generated by the increase will be used to beef up research funding at North Carolina State University and for market development activities through the American Soybean Association Market Development Foundation, according to Burleson. The Association is dedicated to the goal of assuring a more profitable industry for all members. “Rapid changes in world economic conditions and growing competition from other oil and protein sources have necessitated strong state and national associations to keep the soybean industry healthy and profitable”, says Burleson, adding that “the . one cent per bushel ‘check »olf’ money <<goe%., intq 'p&granfc’MhdT * ftj dedicated to the interest of every farmer who produces soybeans in North Carolina.

Sykes, Certified Public Accountant, Tim The Washington Report Cont From 1-B absolute veto over FTC regulations was included. The Senate, being somewhat more liberal, did not agree with this and as a result the emergency funds, as of the writing of this column, had not been approved. It is now assumed that the vast number of employees in this bureaucracy will not receive their next paychecks. That which caused the House to include the power of veto over FTC regulations was their proposals to regulate funeral . homes and children’s TV advertising, most of which many of us felt was totally unnecessary and beyond the prerogative of the FTC. In getting around the district during the latter part of the week I want to assure one and all that I am keenly aware and genuinely concerned over the situation confronting our farmers.
