Your Social Security
Today a true story of the part social security played in the life of the Merriam family—Mr. and Mrs., Michael age 14, and Susan age 10. The names used are not the actual names but the' facts are true. The first scene of the story is in the Merriam home; the second, the field office of the Social Security Administration.
The Merriams were a proud and happy family the day my story begins. They had just arrived home from the graduation of Michael at , the Grammar School. They discussed the fine speech he made and the commencement exercises in general. They expressed high hopes for Michael and Mr. M\rriam seemed very thankful that he was in a good position to help him through High School and later College. This graduation picture is no different from thousands of similar situations all over the United States for schools are closing. But in the curious mingling of events which we call “Fate”, trouble lies in store for the Merriams.
