I If you are paying social se
curity tax, you are paying far
Valuable insurance protection for
yourself and your family. Are
you getting what you pay for? .
Do you know, for instance,
that a person reaching retire
ment age now must have credit
for at least 4V4 years of work
under social security to receive j
retirement payments. Younger!
workers will need up to 10
years of social security credit. 1
The amount of benefits payable
in the future to you and your
dependents, or to your survivors,
will be determined by the rec
ord of your earnings that is
kept by the Social Security Ad
ministration. It is your respon
sibility to see that this record is
complete.
You can do this by being surei
that your employer copies your'
social security number correctly. |
If you are self-employed and
file your own report, be sure
your social security number is i
entered correctly on the report
form that you file. If you
change your name by marriage
cr otherwise, report this change!
REPORTS
HHISfc Fna WASIII6TM
Washington A decision by
Congress appears to be near on
the long-debated question of the
Federal government’s role in
the field of public education.
For many years, particularly
since World War 11, this issue
has been h?nging in the bal- ■
ance.
I .think that it is an issue that i
should be settled as soon as |
possible. Indecision in itself has j
complicated the many problems j
of education and made them
more difficult to solve.
In making a decision about
Federal aid to education, there
are several inescapable facts
that cannot be ignored.
First, and most important, is
the fact that we have not kept
up in filling the needs of our
public schools. There has been
a pronounced deficit since the
immediate postward years. With
our rapidly growing population,
we have been slipping behind in
spite of vastly increased ex
penditures.
Another vital factor that can
not be ignored is that education
is everybody’s business. The
control of public education, that
is, the operation of public
schools has always been at the
local level. This is as it should
be, and I am strongly opposed
to weakening in any way local
control of public schools. At the
same time, all levels of govern
ment have the moral obligation
to improve public education.
After a great deal of thought
and study, I am convinced that
Federal domination and interfer
ence can and must be avoided.
I had the honor to serve on
the original Medical Care Com
mission of North Carolina. This
Commission administered and
allocated Federal funds under
Hill-Burton Act for the con
struction of community hospi
tals. I know from personal ex
perience that while I served on l
the Commission that there was j
' *lO Federal control over how!
hospitals in North Carolina op- J
erated.
I feel that a Federal program .

to your social security office.
, These simple precautions will
prevent most errors bet there is
only one way you can he sure
I that the record is complete.
This one sure way is to ask
the Social Security Administra
tion for a statement of your
j earnings record,
j Your social security- office will

j more than three years ago.
! You will probably find that
jyour record is complete and ae

j cial security office promptly.
In this way, you can be sure
'you are getting what you paid
I for under the social security
i law.
communities in education can;
be established on a sound and
workable basis.
I intend to support legislation
that will give the States a free:
hand in administering funds,
provided by the Federal govern- J
ment. I will nut support legisla
tion that would permit Federal
intervention or domination.
We have reached the point |
where positive action must be
taken if our vast system of pub
lic education keeps abreast of
the times. It is a simple mat
ter of arithmetic that second
rate schools produce second-rate
citizens who make second-rate
communities, states, and nations.

Now U.S. Savings Bonds are a better buy than ever in
three important ways:
• All Series E and H Bonds bought since June 1, 1959
now earn 3%% interest when held to maturity.
• Older Bonds will also pay more—an extra Vi r /c, from
\ June 1 on, if you hold them to maturity.
• All Series E Bonds, old or new, now carry an automatic
extension privilege; they’ll keep paying liberal interest
for 10 years beyond maturity.

the School Savings Plan for U.S. Savings Stamps.
The U.S. Government guarantees that the cash value of
your Bonds cannot drop; it can only grow. And if your
Bonds should be lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Treasury

to keep our economy sound.
Your Bonds help provide this money—help America keep
the peace. So, to build a brighter future for yourself and
your family—and to protect it—save with XJ.S. Savings
