Greensboro, N. C. The
Burlingtcn Industries to
Education Program, now in its
10th year as a formal activity,
has channeled nearly $5 milli
on into educational purposes.
Charles F. Myers, Jr., presi
dent of Burlington Industries,
Inc., said that in the past
school year alone the prog
ram contributed $1,300,000 in
direct grants, matched em
ployee giving, matched tui
tion, scholarships, fellowships,
professorships, matched scho
larship grants and education
al loans to institutions and
students. The largest grant
was a $500,000 gift to the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill for outpatient
clinics at North Carolina Me
morial Hospital as a memori
al to J. Spencer Love, found
er of the textile company.
Grants under the program
were made to more than 400
colleges and universities in 34
states during the past year.
Mr. Myers said, "We be
lieve that the private sector
of the business and industry
must help meet the challenge
of supplying young people
with the educational oppor
tunities necessary for success
in our increasingly complex
society. We want to encourage
greater interest in the finan
cial needs of our schools and
colleges," ,
Under the program, a
large number of the 400 re
cipient schools also received
monetary support through
participation in various state
and national educational or
ganizations to which the Bur
lington Foundation makes an
nual grants. In addition, 80
secondary and preparatory
schools received funds from
the Foundation.
More than 360 students re
ceived Burlington scholar
ships or educational loans dur
ing the past year. Also includ
ed in the 1964-65 giving were
contributions totaling MS,OOO
to match donations by Bur
lington employees and direc
tors to 200 schools and col
leges.
Burlington, with headquar

SOCIAL SEMMTY MSEMES
OTH MNVOSMY
A short time age, President
Lyndon B. Johnson signed the
most far reaching phangff
ever made in the Social Se
curity Act into law. Broad,
new programs of health in
surance for the nation's aged
have been added to «ori«rtin f
programs oi old-age, survi
vors, and disability insur
ance, Robert C Thomas, so
cial security district manager
in Salisbury, North Carolina,
announced today.
Thirty years ago, on Aug
ust 14, 1825, President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt signed the
Social Security Act into law.
The three decades that have
passed decades of mu riuL,
growth, expansion culmina
ted in Congressional approv
al of the new programs and
expansion of the eld ones, Mr,
Thomas continued.
Conceived during depressi
on years, social security has
grown from infancy into a
maturing system offering
comprehensive protection a
against loss of family income
whether due to retirement,
disability, or death of the fa
mily breadwinner.
The idea behind social se
curity, Mr. Thomas points out,
is simple: during years of
employment or self-employ
ment, the worker contributes
a small part of his earnings,
with the employee's share be
ing matched by the employer
in most cases; then when
earnings stop because of the
worker's death, retirement in
okl age or disability, benefit*
related to his former earn
ings are paid to him and
his family.
To the more than 20 million
men, women, children
now receiving benefits,
social security Is moflSk than
just words, ft means lend o#
the table, a home, clothing—
net luxury perhaps but an
assured income. Benefits are
now being paid at the rate
of more than sl6 billion a
year, Mr. Thomas continued.
The original Act had pro
vision enly for the payment
of retirement benefits. In
1939, benefit payments for
the families of retired work
ers and for the survivors of
deceased workers were add
ed, Mr. Thomas stated.
—Disability protection pro
viding cash benefits for
workers under 65 and their
families was added in the
middle 1950'5.
—Benefit amounts have been
increased, age reqirements
have been lowered for old-age
and survivors benefits, and
work requirements lessened
by several changes in the law
through the years.
Less than 60 percent of
the working force— employ
ees in commerce and industry
—were covered by the origi
nal Social Security Act.
Now coverage has been ex
tended so that more than 90
percent of the working peo
ple in America are protect
ed by social security. Mr.
Thomas went on to say that
during the past 30 years
more and more people have
been brought under the sys
tem until nearly all kinds of
employment and self-employ
ment are covered, included
work cn farms, in private
households, in government,
and in private nonprofit or
ganizations.
With the inclusion into the
system of self-employed doc
tors of medicine this year, the
only major groups still not
covered are employees of the
Federal Government under
Civil Service or other staff
retirement systems. *
Social secuity has become
firmly established as the basic
method in the United States
of assuring aa income to in
dividuals and families who
suffer loss of income when the
family breadwinner retires,
becomes disabled, or dies, Mr.
Thomas emphasized.
From the beginning, the so
cial security system has been
self-supporting that is, the
funds to provide the benefits
and to pay *ll the operat
ing ccsts come entirely font
the social security contributions
of workers, employers, and
self-employed people-Quit no
subsidy from general funds ol
the Treasury would ever be
needed. As the structure of
benefits was broadened end
increased, end the costs of the
program went up. Congress
has revised the contrbutio.
gyy IE
Th' mas stressed.
| Monthly casta benefits eat
be paid to retired workers as
early as ace 62; to rtiraHrtT
workers at any age; to wiwm
and children of retired, dto
a bled or deceased workers; and
to dependent husbands, wid
owers, and parents.
Mew programs of heaJfla in
surance for the aged hnwr
now become law, Mr. Thoaa
as said. These progcams, to
go into effect tor the and
part next July, will help pn»-
vide protection gainst costo
of hospitalization and infdii si
care for the nation's aged.
There are two parts in the
health insurance program. ME.
Thomas eiatioued. The fiat
provides hospital insuranm
protection including inpatient
hospital cane and related ser
vices, posthospital extended
care in a qualified rfriflad
nursing facility, pcethosfilto
home health services, and «ad
patient diagnostic sci riuas.
Nearly everyone over 05 wig
be eligible to get benefits un
der this plan.
Th second part is a rn!i—
tary medical insurance plan,
which will help pay costs at
certain health services net
