When her husband died, the couple owned a home, and she was physically able to care for herself. But within a short time, the wages for her maid and gardener tripled. Necessary living expenses steadily climbed, though her pension from the church did not. She finally entered a retire ment home to ease the financial strain. Though life there is comfortable, she has had to continue cutting expenses. “The economy decides for us,” she says. Even her car was relinquished in the face of rising gasoline prices. Mrs. Beck is one of the lucky ones, however. The situation is near critical for many. Have the aged failed to adequately prepare? Sen. Charles H. Percy, a mem ber of the Senate special committee on aging, answers the question in the November, 1972, issue of Readers’ Digest: “Since 1967 inflation has raised living costs by 25 percent. And infla tion is crudest to those whose incomes are fixed, because it has been severest in areas that mean most to the elderly. Since 1967, the costs of semi-private hospital rooms have risen 75 percent, of medical care 33 percent, of property taxes 45 percent. When this kind of financial pressure is put on a fixed budget it does not take long for the savings of a lifetime to dissolve.” Social Security benefits and retire ment programs have a long history of inadequacy and failure. Holly Rees, a district manager for the Social Security Administration in Texas, believes that Social Security alone is not sufficient and was never intended by Congress to be so. “Generally, we find the typical retiree is a homeowner, with his home paid for. About 30 percent receive some other retirement benefits.” This is considered when the base for Social Security benefits is established. The average widow receives about $1,700, well below the poverty line. One partial solution to the plight of the retireess might seem to be obvious—stop arbitrarily retiring the able before their time. Many in the work force who have reached the magic age of 65 are fully qualified to continue their employment. Dr. R. L. Skrabanek, a sociologist at TAMU, has studied the reasons why the age limit was established and has withstood attack. “If I were an administrator, I would be very comfortable with that rule. The administration does not have to make a decision on who stays and who goes. Also, the older you get the more susceptible you are to sickness and accidents.” He is convinced that voters, includ ing the elderly, would not be in favor of an age extension anyway. “If any voting takes place, they’re SOSOLIKS TV & RADIO SERVICE INC.

People are afraid they’re not going to live beyond retirement age to get anything back out of the system.” Dr. R. D. Lewis, chairman of the Brazos County chapter of the Texas Governor’s Committee on Aging, dis agrees. “Research shows that senior employees are more regular and more dependable, in the absence of health problems. The setting of an arbitrary day for retirement is discriminatory.” He feels there is strong support for extending retirement age limits. Increased benefits from Social Security would, of course, have a more widespread effect. But problems again arise. The Jan. 14, 1973, issue of the New York Times Magazine carried an article by Edwin L. Dale, Jr. reflecting on the problems of Social Security financing. Dale says that the original idea was to relate the Social Security premiums a person would receive to his earnings while he worked. “This is still theoretically the case for workers now working, but is not true for the pensioners.” Present benefits, he said, far exceed original expectations. “All pretense of an ‘actuarial’ trust fund for Social Security was aban doned, and Congress provided that Social Security taxes would exactly equal benefits each year.” It has become a strictly “pay-as-you-go” system. Ordinarily this type of funding would not have serious consequences. But Dr. Skrabanek points out that circumstances present a serious prob lem. These circumstances center on the declining birth rate. “What will happen, as we bring in fewer youngsters, and as life expec tancies increase, we are going to have more and more old people relative to the total population.” He noted that while the total popu lation of the US. in the last 10 years has increased by 16 percent, the aged (65 and over) have increased by 33 percent. The earlier eras of high birth rates will continue to increase the ranks of the aged, while the more recent THE SCHULMAN THEATRES WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WISH ALL AGGIES AND THEIR FAMILIES A “MERRY CHRISTMAS” & A VERY HAPPY “NEW YEAR” Fal'acl TONITE — DOUBLE FEATURE AM RU S1 TONITE — DOUBLE FEATURE Barbara Streisan In “WHAT’S UP, DOC” & Ernest Borgnine In “THE WILD BUNCH” Skyway Twin WEST SCREEN AT 7:00 P.

Nevertheless, last October Coni passed an escalation clause wtiidisj allow for automatic, increases rein to inflation. Increases, said I would occur only once a yeardi administrative expense. The base would be l 974. Dr. Lewis stressed the need additional legislation. “Those from 65 to 72 mayeainij more than $2,100 per year wiftn Social Security payments decliif’ he said, adding that after age life) may earn all they want withoutrti. tions. (A current Social Secniitr Administration pamphlet says limit has been raised to $2,40(1 fe 1974.) Lewis would like to set raised to at least $3,000. There is also a $3,000 homeitul allowance for the aged for lax poses, but this generally has considered insufficient, and doe aid the renter at all Though studies on problems oltli aged are plentiful, legislation hasta scarce. Those with a knowledge lems facing the aged seem to agreeth; the basic problem of the aged is not inflation, but apathy.
