dation is no respecter of ststus. Retarded
to families in every strata of society ? rich and
and well educated ? and all warrant our concern
How many mentally retarded are there in North Carolina?
About 150,000.
Exactly what is meant by the term "mentally retarded?"
The QtanUlly retarded are children and adults who are limited
in thtfr ability .to learn. They are generally socially immature and
inadequate, and a great many are further handicapped by
?motional and physical disabilities.
What causes mental retardation?
Defects in the developing embryo, deprivation in early
childhood, disease of the nervous system, toxins and poisons,
and by brain injury early in life. It is also thought to be
associated with prematurity.
Are there many retarded persons in the United States?
Yes! About 6 million ? or roughly 3 percent of the population
- are mentally retarded.
My baby is four months old and is slow in using his hands and
feet and in "pulling up." How can we determine if he is
retarded?
Take him to the Screening Clinic at your local Health
Department. They will determine whether he should be taken to
a Developmental Evaluation Clinic for tests.

Officer, N.C. Council on Mental Retardation, P.O. Box 12054,
Raleigh, N.C. 27605)

Social Security News
By C. V. Shelton, Field Representative
Fayetteville Social Security Office
Women workers under
Social Security often wonder,
'"Of what advantage is Social
Security to me, since my
husband works and I could
qualify on his record?"
There are many advantages
to the women who has worked
under Social Security, in
addition to those to be derived
from her husband's work
record. The three basic
considerations are these:
1. In the event of the death
of a woman worker, Social
Security will make monthly
Social Security payments to
her minor children, a disabled
child or any of her children
who are between the ages of 18
and 22 and who are full ? time
students. These payments are
made despite the fact that
prior to her death her husband
was supporting the children.
2. if the woman worker
becomes disabled, she may
qualify for monthly disability
benefits and there would be
supplemenial payments for any
qualified children as explained
in 1 above. These payments are
also made despite the fact that
the husband is in the
household and able to support
his wife and their children.
3. Both men and women
may elect to receive retirement
benefits from Social Security
at age 62. However, in the case
of the woman worker who has
worked fairly regularly up to
age 62, she would be entitled
to a larger payment on her own
work record than she could get
as a wife on her husband's
account.
Also, in the case of the
deceased woman worker, there
is always a lump sum death
payment which is payable to
her surviving "living with"
widower or to whoever has
paid or is responsible for her
burial expenses.
For further information on
this subject, call the
Fayetteville Social Security
office at 483-2661.
