Smiles Are Cheap
By MART LIZZIE LANE
If you want to gain a friend,
This is the way you must begin.
Now you must always Know
To let your sm||es peep through and show.
Your personality must be grga|
And not always be too late.
You must be dignified, you know,
And also let your culture show.
Rou must meet them at the door,
And smile as you never smiled before.
And welcome them in your home,
Just as they were your very own.
A conversation you must keep,
And often times kind words repeat.
And when their visit's to an end,
Ask them to return again.
If you have a special friend
And can’t visit them now and then,
Give them a call or send them a card,
Try to stay In touch, it’s not hard.
If your friends can make it there,
Sit beside them in a chair.
A conversation you must learn to carry on,
Don’t just sit there and sleep and yawn.
Smiles are very cheap, you know,
Why not always let them show?
That would help along the way
On a long and gloomy day.
This life is very short, you know,
And the majority of the people are on the go.
Our population is very great,
They are all afraid they’ll be too late.
We have a purpose here, you know,
God put us in His world below.
Give your best while you are young,
Don’t wait until you're old and done.
So. Security Questions-Answers
Q. I will be 85 years old
next June. I earn $3,800 a
year but 1 cannot afford to
retire since I still have child
ren in school. Should 1 even
bother to check on my social
security?
A. Yes, you should. First,
you should file your claim
for Medicare even if monthly
checks are not payable. It is
also possible that some of
your social security checks
might be payable even
though you are still work
ing. You should discuss your
situation in more detail with
the people in your social se
curity office.
Q. I read that a 19-year
old boy qualified for disab
ility benefits. How can this
be? I understood you had
to have five years work cre
dits to qualify for disability
payments.
A. The requirements were
changed last year so that
those who become disabled
before reaching age 31 need
; less work credits. For ex
ample, the boy who became
disabled at 19 needed only
one and one-half years work
out of the three years before
he became disabled. A per

son who becomes disabled
after age 31 still must have
five years work credits out of
