Patrolman's Radar Is Unbeatable
As Catcher Of Heavy-Foot Drivers
NEW YORK — “Road Radar
Patrolled.”
These words, which now ap
pear on traffic signs in commu
nities all over the nation, bring
a smile to the lips of many of
the nation’s motorists who think
they are in on a secret method to
“beat” the scientific speed detec
tion devices.
Method or no method, they’ve
got a surprise in store if they
speed through a radar speed de
tection station, says William J.
Toth of New York City. Mr. Toth,
a mfember of the staff of New
York University’s Center for
Safety Education, is currently on
leave from the University and
traveling through the nation with
a radar-equipped car as an educa
tional activity in connection with
the nationwide “Slow Down and
Live” campaign that began last
Memorial Day and will end on La
bor Day.
This is the fourth summer that
Mr. Toth has been on tfye road
with the car, and in that time
he has probably heard more theo
ries advanced for beating the ra
dar (equipment than any other
man in the nation. “But I’ve yet
to hear one that will work,” he

declares.
"The most widely held beliefs,”
he says, "are that strips of tin
foil attached to the car, or steel
bearings thrown loose in the
hubcaps or chewing gum wrap
pers tossed from the window
when passing a radar unit, will
upset its readings.
"Other people think that if
they blow their horns, or blink
their lights, or throw their car
in neutral and race their en
gines, they can jam radar. Ac
tually, radar is as unaffected by
these devices as it is by moon
light, or a car radio, or the color
of a driver’s clothing.”
Some drivers are more inven
tive, and their methods for beat
ing radar range from the use of
sprack chains (to drag off sta
tic electricity) to plastic car bo
dies, to mechanical gadgets at
tached to the engine.
Still no luck, according to Mr.
Toth. The determined machine
cares nothing at all for mechani
cal gadgets or the amount of
static electricity present. And as
for the car body, it will shoot
right through plywood, plastic,
plate glass and cloth and take
its readings from the engine and
even from the driver’s body!
Near as Mr. Toth can figure
is would take an all plastic, dri
ver-less car to escape radar de
tection, and there are very few of
those around, now.
But why, he asks, should any
right-thinking driver want to
beat radar anyway? Its one pur
pose is to help law enforcement
officers remove from the high
ways those drivers whose irres
ponsible actions endanger the
lives of the 85 per cent of moto
rists who drive carefully, obey
posted speed limits and would
rather live and let live than to
endanger their own and other in
nocent lives by juvenile actions.

Social Security To Be Available
To Permanently Disabled At 50
By JOSEPH P. WALSH
Manager, Gastonia
Social Security Office
Disablity first came into the
social security insurance picture
*n 1954. Until now, it was just
a provision to protect the insur
ance rights of a worker who be
record of employment or self-em
ployment covered by the law.
There was no provision to start
paying benefits to him after he
was determined to tie disabled
for any further gainnful work.
The 1956 amendments to the
social security law changed this.
Beginning with July 1967, a dis
abled person, age 50 or over, may
be eligible to start getting
monthly social security insur
ance benefit payments. It is no
longer necessary to wait until he
reaches age 65 to have his retire
ment payments start, nor is it
necessary for an insured woman
worker to wait util she becomes
62, if she is disabled and has
reached her 50th birthday.
To meet the requirements . of
this new provision in the law,
you must be so severely disabled
that you are not able to engage
in any substantial work.. If your
disability is just a temporary
condition — one that will not
keep you out of work permanent
ly, or for a long and indefinite
period of time — you are not eli
gible for benefit payments. Or if
your disability is a kind which
just makes it neccessary for you
to slow down in work or work
part time, you cannot qualify for
monthly benefit payments. How
ever, iif your disability — either
physical or mental — is long-con
tinued, has lasted for at least six
months, and there is little chance
of recovery in the future, you
may be eligible for monthly
benefit payments. These pay
ments, which can start at the
age 50, are the same as the
amount of the old-age insurance
benefit you would be entitled to
if you were 65.
Bear this is mind: the first
month for which cash disability
payments can be made is July
1957. However, there will be no
benefit payments for your depen
dents until you become entitled
to old-age benefit payments at
age 65 (or, in the case of a wom
an getting disability payments,
at any time between agn 62 and
65). Of course, receipt of disabili
ty benefits will not effect the
payment of .benefits to any of
your eligible dependents in case
you should die.
The work requirements for dis
abiility insurance payments at
age 50, are: social security credit
for 5 years of work in the 10
"">'trs before the established be
ginning date of your disability,
and years of work in the 3
years before that date. Active
Military service at any time after
September 15, 1940, and work in
the railroad industry after 1936
can count toward the require
ments for disability insurance
payments under certain condi
tions. However, if you are receiv
ing another Federal disability
benefit for any month, the
amount of your disability insur
ance benefit will be reduced
by amonut of the other benefit
for that month.
If you apply for disability
insurance benefits, you will be
referred to a State vocational re
habilitation agency which will
consider you for services which
may help you return to gainful
work. Disability insurance pay
ments will be withheld from you
if you refuse without good cause
to accept rehabilitation services
that may be offered to you by
your State agency.
If you are now age 50 or over,
have been in employment or self
employment covered by social
security long enough to meet the
above-stated requirements, are
now disabley but never applied
The Girl Scout troop number 4
met on September 19, 1956 at the
First Presbyterian church. Of
ficers were elected for the com
ing year as follows: Prts: Gail
Morrison, Vice-Pres: and Sec:
Pukie Lewis, and Scribe Peggy
Ware.
Plans were made for this year.
The troop is working on our First
Class Rank. There are nine mem

for the “disability freeze” of your
earnings record, you should get
in touch with your social security
office. If you have already had
your earnings record “frozen”,
there is no hurry about applying
for the benefits payable at age
50. The earliest time that appli
cations for disability cash pay
ments can be accepted is after
October 1, 1956; the first month
for which payments can be made
is July 1957. You have untjl De
cember 31, 1957, to make your
application without losing any
of the payments.
