Number Drawing 'Insurance' Is About To Overtake Total On Old Age Assistance Rolls For the first time since the Social Security System was in augurated in the Nineteen Thir ties, the number of persons 65 and over drawing retirement benefits under the Old Age and Survivors' Insurance section of the Act is showing signs of catching up with the number of old age recipients of public assistance. Figures compiled by the Social Security Administration show that there were 2.6 million per sons 65 and over on OASI ben efit rolls last December as com pared with under 2.8 million old age assistance recipients. While the old age assistance rolls changed little during 1950, the number of elderly OASI pen sioners rose 650,000 during the year, the biggest annual in crease to date. Numerical Difference Cut As a result, the numerical dif ference between the two groups last December fell below 200,000. Just a year before, by contrast, there were approximately 800, 000 more old age assistance re cipients than the number of persons 65 and over drawing OASI benefits, while prior to 1949 the numerical margin in favor of the assistance plan was even greater. However, total pafyments re ceived by elderly OASI benefici- 1 arles are still well under ag gregate old age assistance dis bursements, as they have been right along, despite the sub stantially higher benefit scale included in last year's revisions of the Social Security Act. Ben efit payments to persons 65 ai*J over under OASI added up to $101.6 millions for the month of December as against total pay ments of $120.1 millions for old age assistance in that month. There is some duplication be tween OASI and old age assis tance figures, but this is esti mated at not over 10 per cent. How Benefits Are Set OASI benefit payments are determined by a formula in the legislation which takes into ac count the earnings level . of workers covered and employer employee contributions by pay roll deduction among other fac tors. On the other hand, old age assistance payments, though largely dependent on Federal grants-in-aid, are determined by each state, and run from an average of $19.33 per recipient in Mississippi to $77.60 in Colo rado. For the 1950 fiscal year, the Federal Governmsnt con tributed 55 cents of every dol lar of old age assistance pay ments made by the states, with the total Federal contributions coming to approximately $8800 millions for that year. Business Continued From Editorial Page an excellent climate. Let's get out and earn a few by our own efforts by giving the people who ainos uoiiboba b joj smu suioo excellent recreational facilities. ? * * Here and There Around Town Franklin Feed Mill will be shut down Thursday, Friday and Saturday to install new, larger machinery. They sure seem to be an up and coming business. When a water main was broken where they are grading for a new filling station at the inter section of the Highlands and Dillsboro roads, someone ex claimed "I knew Burrell would strike oil." A suggestion to the town board, STOP cars from turning in front of Burrell Motor company on Main street and you will help the Main street traffic problem a lot. This is particularly true on Satur day. A native who returned after 20 years absence was heard to exclaim in Loganville the other day, "I thought Frtmklin had grown more than th|s". He was hard to convince that he had only gotten to the edge of town. A tip to the merchants: Franklin is becom ing recognized as one of the best shopping towns in Western - N<^th Carolina.
