help cover sickness and disability
if they hit before the worker is
65. A fully insured worker, for
instance, can become completely
disabled at 45 and have to wait
20 years for his social security.
Labor groups and the House
of Representatives thought the
new bill should make it possible
for a disabled worker to begin
drawing social security at any
age. But the Senate did not

think so, and this part of ths
bill was killed.
Some day without a doubt,
the country will havj a health
insurance program to cover such
eases. a!l health emergencies. In
the meantime, these disabled
workers can start getting social
security next year—if you elect j
enough Congressmen who believe (
as your own labor leaders do. It,
would be simple to add such an
amendment to the present bill, if
your Congressman — and enough
others—wanted to do ao. Vote

PROFITS AND WAR
Our country does not have an
excess profits tax. This is dan
gerous to all of us during a
war period, because the absence
of such a tax is an invitation to
raise prices and make a quick
profit. |
Send to Washington a Con
gress that .believes in taking the
profit out of war on all levels.
Not necessarily because people
get rich on profits, but because
too-high profits come from too
high prices and to-high prices
destroy our economic system.
They undermine social security
and' the wages for which you or
your husband works.
Every time your grocery bill 1
goes up or you have to pay more
for bed sheets, it reduces the
value of the social security check
others are receiving and which
you some day will receive. Your
dollar buys less. Your social
security check means less. Re
member this at election time.
