THEY salted away a greater proportion of their income than normal, puting much of it into savings banks, savings and loan accounts, U.S. savings bonds and the like. A considerable part of their unspent cash went, also, toward reducing their outs- tanding consumer debt, thus improving their financial stability still more. of new THE AMOUNT money that the Davis County population stowed away during the year in the various types of savings came to an estimated $40,912,000. The finding is based upon national data gathered by the Federal Reserve Board, the Conference Board and others and upon income and spending figures for each area of the country. THE REPORTS show that, for the United States as a whole, personal savings during the past year amounted to nearly $91 billion, or about 8.3 percent of disposable income $74 billion the year before, when the rate of saving was 7.5 percent. The large nest egg of savings in the hands of local families represents a treasure trove of additional spending power. When their confidence in the stability of the present economic recovery returns and they decide the time is right, this pent-u- p money could spark a big buying surge. JUST HOW much a family saves or can save depends upon its income, its needs and the amount it has left after taking care of the essentials. Those with very small incomes find it difficult to save anything. Families with $7,500 left after taxes have FUN DAY 1 Because of rapidly rising costs and uncertainties regarding the solvency of the system, many governmental units across the nation are dropping out of the Federal Social Security program. This was reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization in a study of social security and public employees. THE FOUNDATION analysis shows that 138 cities, counties, and other jurisdictions have.given up their membership in social security during the past two years. In addition, another 207 governmental units, including New York City, have filed notice of their intent to follow suit. Ir. Utah, the question of dropping out of Social Security will be carefully reviewed by public employees and public officials in the months ahead. ACCORDING to the Foundation study, the option of canceling social security coverage is unique to state and local governments. For most employed and Americans working in the private sector, payment of Federal social security taxes is mandatory. Under Federal Law, however, state and local units may withdraw from the program by declaring their intent to do so at least two years in advance. CURRENTLY, every employee pays up to $895 per year in social security taxes. This sum is matched by the employing unit. These amounts are scheduled to rise in the years ahead. Thus, over the next five years, up to $10,900 in employee and employer social security taxes could be saved for each public employee or teacher who is withdrawn from the system. The report points out that all or part of these funds could be used to set up a supplemental system to replace social security coverage. A been putting away about 3.5 percent, on average, those with $12,000 net, 7.4 percent, and those with $15,000, close to 8.6 percent. MAJOR attraction for withdrawal. ' according to the Foundation study, is that the Federal social security has accumulated an actuarial deficit of between $2.5 and $3.0 trillion over the past forty years. This is the difference between the present value of benefits social security has promised to current workers, and the present value of all scheduled future taxes that, it expects to collect from current workers and their employees. ' Withdrawal from the system would allow a governmental unit and their employees to excape this long-terobligation. Thus, many of the governmental units which pulled out of Social Security have found that by starting from scratch they have been able to establish by the The Sunset Family Bicentennial Fun Days were on Saturday at Central Park.

For example, benefits under any new system may not be tax exempt; retirees may not receive free medicare hospital insurance; and work credits may not be as readily transferable as are Social Security credits. As a result, the Foundation report suggests that the pros and cons of withdrawal should be carefully examined before any final decision is made. At the present time there are 344 state and local governmental units in Utah that are covered by the Federal social security law. These units currently employ about 80,000 individuals, and social security taxes paid by these units and their employees amount to about $71 million a ; year. contest was held.
