By this he means that 8 sun(ewbat
huger aluuuut will be withheld from
a worker's pay check each week and
that the eMplOyep will be asked to
match the amount says The New
Yorker, \lark. Sullivan, in the 'Tri-
bune, point- out that with -the value
"sof money dropping the way it is, an
increase in social security ie only 811
apparent illrre851, 1101 a realin-
s:tease. Nil.. Sullivan argue,, that
elm fifty rens that was withheld
I1om your liay check in, say 1937,
would hare bought you a square
srteal at that time, but that when
you are sixty-five years old and get
Rhe fifty cents back, it may buy you
only a small box of dried raisins.
,Ile says the way to increase social
ne8nrity is to see that the dollar
doesn't shrink, The argument is
Hound enough, Perhaps the way to
manage social security is to forget
about dollars and withhold meat in-
stead. Every employer could be
s'equired to maintain a deep freeze
emit and withhold one square meal
each week for each employee. 'Then
when an employee reaches sixty-
five and starts digging around like
et squirrel 011 a winter morning, he
will dig up some frozen meat instead
of a shrivelled dollar.. . •
If security itself were ever to be-
come the highest national goal, the
citizen would shed his self-reliance
Ail a buck sheds his horns, and the
citizens of the republic would be
like privates in the army—each with.
a dog tag, and a dull sense of having
abandoned something irreplaceable.
Although the above refers to
United States conditions, thoughtful
Canadians might very well read,
ponder, and digest!
