The first step is to honestly admit your dissatisfaction or frustrations, without feeling guil ty, they suggest. Talk to your husband, a friend or a neighbor, but don’t become a nag or a bore on the subject. Alfter all, everyone has “trapped” feelings some of the time. How can you keep from be coming a victim of “trapped” feelings and boredom? iBy keep ing busy, by sharing yourself with others, by coming out of emotional hiding. Try to rediscover and develop the natural ability to relax that you had as a child. Develop the courage to show your natural feelings. Use your inner resources such as Imagination, contempla tion, perception. Use externa! resources only to supplement the inner resources— don’t demand to be entertained.

THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C Thursday, August 31, 1972 .■.WU'IIV'.I Questions ^ and Answers ^!2,339AOOCaR I On N. C. Boads During 1971 tiiieen years ago this month, the first social security disaail- ily payments were made to 96,- .oOO disabled workers. Today, near ly 3 million disabled workers and members of their families get monthly cash payments, accord ing to social security officials. When social security disability bcneftis were first paid in July 1937, only disabled workers be tween 50 and 63 were eligible for payments, a spokesman said. "Today, disabled workers of any age under 63 ran receive dis- ai:ility payments. And certain memliers off heir families can get monthily checks, too,’ he said. To be eligible for social secur ity disaioility payments, which start in the 7th month of dis ability, a worker must be so sev erely disabled that it looks like he’ll be unable to work for a year Or more. But he should file for benefits as soon as he becomes disabled. Generally, he must have worked in employment covered by social security for at least 3 l-,4 years—and 5 years of th*" work must have been during the 10 years before his disability be gan.

Before age 24, the worker needs credit for 1 1-2 years of work in tile 3-year period before his dis ability began.’ When e worker applies for dis ability payments, he suumits medical evidence to establish,his disability. Then, physicians and other disability experts n a state agency-usually the state’s vo cational ichibilitation agency — decide whether the worker is dis abled under the social security law, the spokesman said. "In most cases,” he '■--.IJ, "the state agency can m-' ,.,e deter mination or f': ,„,s of medical evidenc" . the applicanf’s ov • ,„.Ltan. If additional evi- -iice is needed, more tests may be requested at government ex pense.” In addition to monthly cash payments, vocational rehabilita tion is avai'able to certain dis abled workers, the spokesman said. Disabled workers with a good potential for rehabilftation are referred to state agencies by social security. .Rehabilitation can include jclb training, physical therapy, and similar services. Since 1965, when rehabilitation became a part oj the disability program, social security’s invest ment in rehabilitating disabled workers has saved $1.65 in bene fits for every $1 invested in re habilitation, the spokesman said. * * * QUE.STIONS AND ANSWERS Q.—After working for nearly 30 years, I can feel myself slow- r WEAT/iER the exciting new OIL HOME HEATER AUTOMATIC CONTROLS!

Q.—il’m a homemaker. I’ve nev er worked outside my home ex cept last summer when 1 work ed in a friend’s store. Could I get a refund of my social secur ity contributions from that job?

IN MEMORIAM TO MY HUSBAND The home we shared together, is just a house now, With mem ories. Your loving voice, I cannot hear your tace I cannot see. I know our Lord, knew what was best. When He called you home. But until now, 1 never knew, A night could be, so long. Together we laced, many storms of life, and our love, for each other grew. Until the day, you, were called away. Now, nothing seems right, witli- out you. Yet, I must face another day. For 1 know, my life, must go on. But, oh! my dear, I never knew, A night could be so long. I’ve heard it said; that time would ease, the aching in my heart. But time goes by, so slowly dear. Since we had to part. So until, I hear your voice a- gain, and feel the touch of your hand, My prayer will be. Dear Lord help me. Your will to understand. I know we will, be together, In Heaven, so bright and fair. I’ll never, ever, be lonely again. For death, can not enter there. Soon I will follow you, my dear. When my race, on earth, is run. We will be so happy, in that land Where, night will never come.

Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. The officers also found 336 min or children were employed in vio lation of the child labor provi sions of the Fair Labor Stand ards Act (.FLSA). This information was released today cy James E. Patching Jr., regional administrator of the 'Department’s Employment Stand ards Administration in Atlanta. Of the underpayments, $1,- 018,001 were due employees be cause of the employers’ failure to pay the applica ..s minimum wage. Underpayments of $1,755,- ilOO were due to the failure of em ployers to pay time and one-half for overtime work. 'Patching also reported that 819 employees were found underpaid in .accordance with the Equal Pay Act (an amendsnent to FLSA) in the amount of $344,976 in North Carolina. ‘1Most employers usually make good the underpayments on a voluntary basis when then are made known to them iby the Lab or Department compliance offi cers,” Patching pointed out. “However, in cases where back wages are not paid voluntarily the employee can seek them through private counsel or by asking the Secretary of Labor to sue on his behalf.” Patching said further that un derpayments in the southeastern region during the same period totaled $22,236,1^, involving 106,- 410 employees. The region is com posed of North Carolina, Ala bama, Mississippi, Georgia, Ten nessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and Florida. Employees covered under FLSA are entitled to $1.60 an hour and time and one-half after forty hours worked over 40 in a work week, unless specifically exempt. 'Employees covered under the ag ricultural section of the Act are currently entitled to a minimum of not less than $1.30 an hour.
