to be made voluntarily as fax
as possible and may be given
to one cf the vestrymen of the
parish or placed in the alms

As Lent progresses, those not

The second committee meet

the Parish House additions was
in . conjunction with the Sep

submitted their ideas of what

Benefits From Protection Plans
[Pace Rise In Personal Income;
A development of major im
portance to the American peo
ple and to the nation's future
progress has been tjie grow .h, of
personal protection programs in
recent years and their steadily
increasing role in economic ac-I
tivity as well as in individual;
security and well-being.
Rooted deep in OUT tradition-'
al habits of thrift and providing;
for the future, these programs
taken together have become the
fastest-growipg section of the
personal income stream while
performing their basic function
of protecting the individual and
family against the economic im
{pact of death, disability and re
tirement. Thus they have be
come an economic stabilizing
force of the first magnitude.
With this, too, the funds ac
i cumulated behind a number of
these programs are an important
growth-promoting factor as the
source of much of the productive |
and social capital which our;
economy requires to grow and |
to meet the needs of an expand- 1
ing population. j
The Growth of Benefits ' 1
Wjth an annual growth that'
is now about $3 billions a year,
benefits under these individual
and family protection programs,
public and private combined,
have now reached the enormous
sum of more than S3O billions a
year. Last year the total 'of j
these combined benefits added!
up to $29.6 billions, and was the S
equivalent of close to a tenth of
all personal income after taxes
for the year, the highest such
total and proportion on record,
according to figures from Gov-.
ernment and private sources. 1
Just under S9V 2 billions, or al-;
moat one-third of the 1953 bene-j
fits, were paid by the life insur-!
ance companies, making them'
the leading source of these pay
ments.
At the beginning of the cur-‘
rent decade, in 1950, combined
benefits under individual and
family protection programs
amounted to only $13 1 billions'
a year. Thus in the 1950-58 pe-l
driod, the flow of benefits from j
these programs has increased byj
approximately 120 per cent, a
rate of growth more than don-'
ble that of the 57 per cent in-j
crease total personal income!
for the period. Since 1955 those j
benefits hgve expanded by 44 i
per cent while total personal in- i
come has increased by only 16.
per cent
The growth of these personal
protection programs, therefore, 1
and their breadth of coverage
jm j
WITH
represent one of the great stakes
in the battle for a hotter of
stable buying power. This is
the more true since so much of
the benefits under these pro-,
grams go to persons, of limited,
means, to whom the regularity]
of income provided represents a j
measure of financial independ
ence and security. The figures!
show, for example, that at least,
three out of every fve of the]
15'2 million persons in the I
United States 65 years old and i
over are now largely dependent
on a pension under a public or
private retirement program.
Retirement Plans Lead
Thus the high degree of stabi’-
ity in living costs over the past
year has been a constructive de
velopment for millions of our
older citizens as well as for the
growth of the economy.
The largest single block of j
payments under personal protec- j
tion programs consists of bene-i
fits from public and private re
tirement plana. The combined
total here approximated $11 1 2
billions in 1958, or about 37 per
cent of all the year’s payments
from individual and family pro-j
tection programs. Social Securi- j
ty payments for the year came,
to $6.7 billions, exclusive of sur- j
vivor benefits. Approximately i
$2.6 billions more were paid in
benefits during the year by a
combination of retirement pro
grama under Government spon
sorship—State and local, Federal j
civil sendee. Federal noncontri
butory, and Railroad retirement.
Total benefit payments under
private pension and retirement
programs, insured and non-insur-j
ed combined, rose to an estimate'
ed $1.3 billions last year.
Benefit payments under life
insurance programs totaled s7' 2 i
billions last year. The dominant
element in these payments was
legal reserve life insurance own
ed by 112 million policyholders.
Excluding annuities and accident
and health, benefit payments
from legal reserve life compan
ies conic to more than $6.6 bil- 1
lions in 1953. Some S9OO mil- j
lions more in life insurance i
benefits were paid during the
year by veterans’ life insurance
and by fraternal, assessment and
savings bank life insurance pro- j
grams.
Accident and Health Expansion
Accident and health, a field in.
which the life companies play a
major role, is the largest source I
of benefit payments of the re- 1
maining personal protection pro-]
grams. Accident and health pro- i
tection was the source of nearly!
's4 billions in" benefits in 1958, 1
and has shown a high rate of
! grow 1.1 over the past decade.
I Other payments under pe sonal
j protection programs in 1958 in
cluded about $3Va billions under
veterans’ programs and an esti
mated three-quarters of a bil
lion dollars under workmen’s
compensation.
