A. Ia the May 1968 feue of
the Social Security Bulletin
(official publication of the Soc
ial Security Administration)
are preaentad the findings from
the nationwide 1986 Social Sec
urity Survey of Diaabled Adults
Including all Don-institutional
iwd disabled persons 18-64. The
field work was done for us by
the Bureau of the Census.
The Survey showed that disa
bility affected about oneoixtk
of the nation’s working—age
population in 1186. Disability
was found to limit some 16.1
million adults in their ability to
work, and of those 17.8 mfllka
had been disabled longer than 6
months.
The survey report classifies
the disabled into three categor
ies: (1) those “unable to work
altogether or unable to work re
gularly," (g) the occupationally
disabled those “able to work
regularly, but unable to do the
sane work as before the onset
of disability, or unable to work
full-time,’’ and (*> those "able
to work full-time, regularly, and
at the tame occupations 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 disa
bility. It points out that public
programs designed to offset the
wage fame from disability paid
cut more than 98 billion in cMh
f *>nefits and assistance to Ota
disabled and their dependents
in 1681 But it explains that
these programs are intended pri
marily to provide for the sever
ely disabled rather than for dis
abled persons - with residual
work capacities.
However, more than half of
the severely disabled received
no income from public income
maintenance programs. and
close to three-fourths of these

a greater extant than women.

OF CABMGES^mUMS
A royal treat thht reigns su
preme in many parts of tho
world is the king of cabbage—
sauerkraut!
As a rule, "saner cabbage"—
as it translates literally—is
thought to lie a native of Ger
many, but similar dishes may
have l>een enthroned even ear
lier elsewhere. Some say that
the Chinese invented sauerkraut
by fermenting cabbage in wine.
One idea that can make sauer
kraut oven more regal is a
recipe for “Champagne Sauer
kraut,” offered by famous cheb
James Beard in a cookbook pre
pared hv him. By sending 25<*
to James Beard Kraut Book.
Box 215. Pheips, N. Y„ you can
get recipes for using sauerkraut
in more dishes fit for a king
than you can shake a scepter at.
