There has been very
little reaction lo-
cally to the increase
in the Social Securi-
ty tax rate and base
which became effect-
ive January 1, 1982,
according to David
Helmer, Manager of
the Corsicana Social
Security office. That
may be because one
of four Navarro Coun-
ty residents present-
ly receive Social
Security checks. Part
of the lack of compl-
aint could be that
people realize that
the additional tax is
building greater pro-
tection for themselv-
es and their families
under Social Securit-
y, Helmer said.
Actually, the incre-
ase in the rate paid
from 6.65 % to 6.7 %
does not affect the
lower income workers
as significantly as
the higher paid work-
ers as it only costs
one making $10,000 a
year about 10 cents
more a week than it
did in 1981.
The increase in the
tax base from $29,700
to $32,400 is felt
more strongly by th-
ose in the upper in-
come brackets. These
workers will pay an
additional $195.75
in Social Security
taxes in 1982.
Along with the incr-
ease in taxes paid,
there will be a cor-
responding increase
in the benefits earn-
ed in the future, but
it could very well be
needed earlier in ma-
ny cases. Since 42 %
of men and 28 % of
women either die or
become disabled be-
fore 65, survivors
and disability prote-
ction is more essent-
ial than many reali-
ze. Social Security
pays many survivor’s
insurance benefits to
the families of de-
ceased workers and
disability insurance
benefits to the dis-
abled worker, and
to their families.
Social Security tax-
es also provide Med-
icare hospital insur-
ance protection for
most pieople age 65
and older and for pe-
ople under age 65 who
have been getting
disability checks for
at least 24 months.
No such total insura-
nce protection is
available for a com-
parable price in the
private insurance fi-
eld. This is especi-
ally true when you
consider that the
benefits are tax
free and that there
is a cost-of-living
increase built into
the system to pro-
vide for added pay-
ments as the cost of
living increases.

"THE TELLING OF THE TALES" TO BE HELD
FRIDAY, MAY 22, AT GROESBECK
The fifth annual
presentation of "The
Telling of the Tales"
is scheduled for Sat-
urday night, May 22,
at Restored Fort Par-
ker, some two miles
north of Groesbeck
just off of State
Highway 14.
"The Telling of the
Tales" is sponsored
by the Groesbeck Ch-
amber of Commerce in
cooperation with the
Parker family and the

life Department. Fo-
ort Parker fell to
the Indians on May
19, 1836, and this
special program is
held each year on or
as near to that date
as possible.
The presentation, is
in the form of a nar-
rative play and is
based on letters,
records and other do-
cuments of the Parker
family. Descendants
of the Parker pio-
neers are members of
the cast.
A brief preliminary
program will begin
about 7:30 p.m. This
program will include
music by the Sunshine
Singers of the Mexia
State School. "The
Telling of the Tales"
will start about 8
p.m.
There is no admis-
sion fee. However,
everyone is asked to
bring their own lawn
chairs or quilt as no
chairs or seating
facilities will be
available.
Excellent picnic and
camping facilities
are available in
nearby Fort Parker
State Park for those
wishing to make at-
tendance at this ev-
ent a family outing.
For more informat-
ion, one may contact
the Groesbeck Chamber
of Commerce, P. 0.

Remember back to the
first Monday in Augu-
st, 1979, when the
KHS Band members
shoved up for summer
band practice and
discovered that they
had a new Band Direc-
tor?
Well, little did we
know this would be
the best thing that
had happened to the
KHS Band in a L-O-N-G
time!
This very brave per-
son that we are spea-
king of is none oth-
er than Ms. Pam Th-
ompson. Ms. Thompson
has since then given
us a big push in put-
ting the band back
together. She has br-
ought the band up at
least one level at
contest during her
three-year stay here.
We have gone to many
UIL competitions,
Texas Stadium, Sandy
Lake and the last two
years succeeded in
aiding band students
to attend state comp-
etition.
We would like to th-
ank Ms. Thompson,
very much, for help-
ing the band achieve
goals we would never
have hoped to accom-
plish.

The YMCA's summer
Day Camp season is
due to start on June
7, Mike Jezek, Phy-
sical Director of the
YMCA announced to-
day.
This can be a sum-
mer to remember for
the youngsters who
participate,"
Jezek said, "with
better and more var-
ied programs being
planned than ever
before."
For youngsters who
want the best of
both worlds - home
and camp- there is
the YMCA Day Camp.
Camp will be located
East of Corsicana
off of Highway 31.
At this year's day
camp, youngsters can
look forward to swim-
ming, hiking and a
new atmosphere as
each week will' have
a different theme.
The camp experience
builds into today's
youth a sense of be-
longing. When they
come home they will
have many stories to
tell their parents
about what they did,
the new friends they
met and all of the
details they couldn't
fit in a letter. But
moreover, they will
have a valuable sense
of comparison to the-
ir lives in the city.
The sense of knowing
there is something
more than playing
in the same street
all summer long might
be the most important
thing camp can give
a child," says John
Haynes, camp
director.
Registration for
Corsicana YMCA camp
can be made at the
"Y", 400 Oaklawn, or
for more information
call 872-2412.
SPECIAL DAY FOR R. E. LOGAN CONTINUED
PAST RECOGNITION LUNCHEON
Receiving one of the
county's top honors
was not the full ex-
tent of pleasure for
R. E. Logan last Fri-
day.
Logan was surprised
to find himself sit-
ting, at the lunche-
on, across from Boyd
Payne. He and Payne
had attended Trinity
University at Waxah-
achie together years
ago and enjoyed re-
newing acquaintances.
Probably nearly as
exciting as the award
itself, was when Lo-
gan looked up and
saw, at the back of
the room, both of his
daughters and his
brother watching the
presentation. Mrs.
Tom Brown (Jean) and
Mrs. Roger Baresh
(Judy) had made the
•trip from Richardson
and Houston just for
the event. Also on
hand was John R. Lo-
gan, coming from Pa-
lestine to help in
the excitement.
After leaving the
luncheon, Logan stop-
ped at Jones Jewelry
to thank Smiley Jon-
es for the watch and
ran into someone from
his past. The jeweler
is a man named Robert
Carroll who was born
on Logan's father's
ranch and named for
his father.
