BUTLER Field Representative (■ltntftiiitiiiiimiiiiiiniiiiiiimiiiiiiMtHlitNiiNiiiiiiiiHiHiiMiHniiiiiiiiHiOMMdimimttmiimiiimimtH 0 Q. How old does a person have to be to get a social se curity card? A. There is no minimum, or maximum, age limit for getting a social security card. One should secure it if pos sible before applying for a job, as the employer will need the name and account number as they appear on the card. (Some very young chil dren have worked, for ex ample, in motion picture and television productions!, and the taxes have been withheld for their social security cred it.) Q. I’m doing research on so cial and economic problems for background information that will help me as a teacher. Right now I’m studying the problem of Disability in ithe United States. If you have any cur rent, or recent, facts and fig ures showing some of the di mensions of this problem, I’d like to have them. A. In the May 1968 issue of the Social Security Bulletin (official publication of the Social Security Adminilstra tion) are presented the find ings from the nationwide 1966 Social Security Survey of Disabled Adults — includ ing all non-institutionalized disabled persons aged 18-64. The field work was done for us by the Bureau of the Cen sus. The Survey showed that disability affected about one sixth of the nation’s working age population in 1966. Dis ability was found to limit DIFFERENCE Hayes & Hopson OF BREVARD INC. Mreedy Behind Lyda-McCrary Ford Company Dial 883-4101 i some 112 million adults In their ability to work, and of these 17.8 million had been disabled longer than 6 months. Hie survey report classi fies the disabled into three categories: (1) those “unable to work altogether or unable to work regularly,” (2) the occupationally disabled — those “able to work regular ly, but unable to do the same work as before the onset of disability, or unable to work full - time,” and (3) those “able to work full - time reg ularly, and at the same occu pations but with limitations in the kind or amount of work they could do” In their jobs. The report documents sub stantial losses of earnings and family income because of disability. It points out that public programs designed to offset the wage losses from disability paid out more than $8 billion in cash benefits and assistance to the disabled and their dependents in 1966. But it explains that these pro grams are intended primarily to provide for the severely disabled rather than for dis abled persons with residual work capacities. However, more than half of the severely disabled receiv ed no income from public in come - maintenance programs, and close to three - fourths of these were women. “Severe ly disabled men benefited from disability income - sup port programs to a greater extent than women. Three fifths of the severely disabl ed men received income from one or more of the public programs, compared with less than one - fifths of the wo men.” More than 1.3 million se verely disabled men received no wage - replacement bene fits, or had reduced benefits, or received public assistance only. Less than one - third of these, were currently do ing any gainful work; and only 1 in 20 was employed “full time.” For your information the Social Security Bulletin may be obtained from the Su perintendent of Documents, li.

When you think of prescrip Science for You bob brown PROBLEM: The lig! t pipe. NEEDED: A glass jar with metal lid, a nail to punch holes, cardboard, a flashlight, small tube and rubber hose, water. DO THIS: Run water into the jar through one hole in the lid; let a stream run out the other hole. Hold the flashlight at the bottom of the jar, and the light will be seen to follow the curv ing stream issuing from the hole. Gird may be wrapped around the jar • - ■ . and light, but this is not necessary. A darkened room is required. HERE’S WHY: When light strikes a smooth transparent surface of a different medium it divides—a portion of it entering the new medium and a portion reflected back. If the angle is steep, more of the light goes through. But in the water stream, when the curve is less than 49 degrees, enough is reflected back and forth between the surfaces to reach the end of the stream where it touches the sink. A little of the light comes out at ripples along the stream, making the stream glow. (The critical angle of 49 degrees applies to water; it is different for different media.) .» Copr.
