old lantern version, the aluminum light can be equipped
with color filters. For convenience, it can be placed on
a floor stand or hung overhead.
Children Allowed S. S. Benefits
There is a great deal of
misunderstanding regarding
social security benefits
payable to children over
age 18. Children on the
social security rolls must
be dropped when they
reach 18 unless they are
severely disabled or a full
time student in an accred
ited school.
If the child qualifies on
the basis of disability, the
benefits will continue at
the same rate until there
is medical recovery. Many
who had birth injuries,
polio victims, retarded
children, etc., draw this
so-called “child’s benefit” j
for life —it continues as I
long as the i nability to j
work continues.
Student’s benefits are
paid to full-time students
between the ages of 18 and
22. The training can be
high school, college or vo
cational. These benefits’al
low the “child” to continue
(or start) receiving a reg
ular social security check.
To be eligible he must be
unmarried and attending
an accredited school on a
regular basis. His checks
also continue during the
summer vacation months.
Student’s benefits were
first added to the law in
1965 and already $486,000,-
000 annually is being paid
to students—more: than all
the college scholarships in
