My ex - husband was hurt in an accident and can no longer make support pay ments for our three minor children who live with me. If he starts receiving disabil ity benefits from social se curity; will our children get anything A. If your ex - husband starts receiving benefits, the children will also be able to get benefits. Q. I receive a monthly check based on the work of my deceased husband. Will social security help on my funeral expenses when I die? A. No. A lump sum death payment is made only when a worker dies. In this case the lump sum was paid at the death of your husband. Q. I will not be old enough to file for retirement payments for another year. However, I have just been I informed there is no birth certificate on file for me. What should I do? A. It might be a good idea to check now with your nearest social security office. They’ll help you request a census search. A 1910 or 1920 census record of your age would be an excellent proof. Q. My son, who is 17, re ceives social security because his father is dead. He works part-time and earns about $1,300 a year. Someone told me that since he makes over $1,200 a year, he’s not eligible to receive any of his social security benefits. I thought he could make $1,500 and still get his benefits. Which is correct? A. Neither. Your son can earn $1,680 and still receive all his benefit checks. The amount he could earn with out losing checks was raised from $1,500 to $1,680 in 1968. All this talk about what the youngsters are doing is silly, especially to adults who recall what they did when children. a lUb\ /After alD\ UTCVEKHIj AFTER ALL, we’ve been at this loca tion for many years, and deeply appre ciate the confidence so many folks have shown in our compounding of their medical prescriptions.

America's first child born of English parents, was, of course, Vir ginia Dare, first seeing the light of day in North Carolina. Vir ginia as a name, however, has nothing to do with the state called the “Mother of Presi dents,” but is the feminine of “Virginius”—name of an old Roman clan! Babies perceive more than meets the eye! In six months a baby can be aware that parents are indoctrinated to that five o’clock feeding! Dr. Benjamin Spock’s suggestion for gradual ly changing an infant’s “uncivi lized” waking habits, is to set the alarm five minutes later each morning until blissfully, you can sleep to the working man’s seven a.m. rising! Nowadays, some 4,200,000 babies are born each year in the United States, where child bearing is presently more than 15 times as safe for the mother as it was only a generation ago! One way to make sure the new baby sleeps soundly, and as long as is good for him and parents, too, is having on hand a collection of night and day diapers. Babies know the dif ference when you’ve stocked up on Curity Night Diapers with extra absorbent qualities. Many years ago, when an in fant had the colic, the nurse was treated! It was assumed she would pass on the cure to the baby! This Is The Law By BOBKBT K UUC <F*r the N. C. Bar «M»cl»tUa) Wrongful Acte Os Drunks Is a drunken person liable for damages done to the per son or property of another? Yes. Drunkenness is not a defense to those legal actions which lawyers call “torts”— wrongful or negligent acts, other than breach of contract. A court will afford a remedy in such cases in the form of an action for damages. If a drunken person should be so negligently operating an automobile as to damage your property or to inflict bodily injuries to your per son, you may recover a judg ment from him to compen sate you in money damages. A drunken person is liable for the wrongful destruction of another’s property to the same extent as if he were sober. It is immaterial that he was so drunk that he did not know what he was do ing. May a drunken person be convicted of a crime? Although there are some few exceptions, the general rule is that voluntary drunk enness furnishes no ground of exemption from responsibility for crime. A person may be so drunk when he commits an act that he is incapable, at the time of knowing what he is doing, yet if the intoxication be vol untary, he is legally respon sible for his criminal acts nevertheless under the gen eral rule. The most important excep tion to the general rule is found in those few cases where the law requires a specific intent to render an act a particular crime or de gree of crime. Among the crimes requiring a specific intent are “willfull, deliberate and premeditated’” murder in the first degree, burglary, as sault with intent to kill, and larceny. Where a person is too drunk when he commits an act to entertain the specific intent, essential in order that the act may constitute a par ticular crime, and did not first form such intent and then became intoxicated, he is not responsible for that particular crime. If, how ever, one makes up his mind to do an act while sober, en tertaining the necessary in ent, and then becomes intoxi cated and commits it, he Is responsible. For example, if one makes up his mind to kill another, and then be comes drunk, and kills him, he is guilty of murder in the first degree. Where a man is too drunk to entertain the specific in tent necessary -to constitute the act a particular crime, he frequently may be convicted of some lesser offense for which no specific intent is required. *1875 is a pretty good deal for a *25 gift Take stock in America Buy U 5.

One notable similar ity Is in the problem of Inter preting the patient’s com plaints. Often, it Is not easy for a person to describe his body’s ailments, or the ail ments of his car. In neither case is the pa tient expected to do his own diagnosing, but In both cases it helps when the doctor or mechanic has some descrip tive information with which to begin his symptomatic an alysis.

Most mechanical problems follow set behaviorial patterns, they say, and often it Is easier for the owner to observe and rec ognize these characteristics ofi (j/ioutfit By MARVIN BARHAM There is no denying that we live in a hectic world. Most all of us at times travel at a pace of maddening tempo, and with such frequency that we wonder where we’re going. The story of the ticket agent in the railway station who was telling the little old lady her train was leav ing on track 25. ‘Track twenty-five?” she asked. “Yes, twenty->?ive.” After repeating the track number to the lady, the next man in line commented: “You must really know your business to deal with the public the way you do.” “The public,” answered the ticket agent. “1 deal with people—one at a time.” That is the secret to overcoming many of our mad dening frustrations. Deal with them one at a time. When things start coming at you from all directions— remind yourself: “One thing at a time.” You’ll find your problems much easier to solve. OUiR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: The smartest person can really only do one thing at a time.

Some problems, for example, occur only in wet weather; others disappear in dampness. An elusive engine miss may come and go under certain specific conditions and a real tipoff to your mechanic may be the circumstances under which that miss occurs. Is It always on a heavy pull? Or when the car is first started in the morning? Or when it gets hot? The most critical clues to car troubles are: ROAD SURFACES ... is the symptom more noticeable on asphalt or concrete? Wash board? High crowned road or flat? SPEED . . . this has a bear ing on most diagnoses. LOAD ... is the trouble more pronounced with full passenger load? On a long grade? Downhill?
