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 ?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.
