... about your
Social Security
By
Kate McLaurin
Griffin Social Security Office
John Dewey, a pioneer of
modern education, told a
story how to weigh a pig.
First, you get a plank and tie
the pig to one end. Next get a
sawhorse and put the center
of the plank on the sawhorse.
Then you get a rock that,
when placed on the other
end of the plank, will just
balance the pig. Now guess
how much the rock weighs.
A lot a people weigh social
security into their financial
planning by methods just
aDOut as accurate. Most folks
think of Social Security as
just something to retire on.
Actually, the Survivors In
surance Program provides a
broader protection for your
family. Ask your Social
Security Office for a free
copy of the booklet, Social Se
curity Information for Young
Families.
Q. I receive monthly social
security payments for my
two children who are 9 and
12.1 did not apply for myself
because I was working and
planned to continue working.
Now I find that the children
need more care than I can
give them and hold down a
job. If I quit my job, can I
apply for social security
payments for myself or is it
too late? S.C., Jackson
A. No, it’s not too late for
you to apply for monthly
social security benefits for
yourself. For this year, you
can earn as much as $2,760
without any reduction in your
payments. Even if you earn
more than $2,760 for the year,
you’ll get your full benefit for
any month you earn $230 or
less.
Q. I was told that I could
apply for widow’s payments
when I reach 60. However, I
recently had a severe heart
attack and the doctor doesn’t
think I’ll ever be able to work
again. Isn’t there some
special provision in social
security for disabled
widows? E.P., Jackson
A. Disabled widows can
apply for monthly social
security payment at age 50.
You should apply at the
Social Security Office as soon
as possible. There is a
5-month waiting period, with
payments starting for the 6th
month of disability if you’re
eligible.
Q. My daughter is past
thirty but she is retarded and
must be cared for like a
small child. She will never be
able to work. Could she get
any help from social security
on her deceased father’s
social security? A.8., Jack
son
A. Yes, she can receive
benefits as your child who
was disabled before age 22.
She can receive payments as
she lives and remains
disabled and unmarried.
Q. My husband is de
ceased. My daughter, age 17,
gets social security benefits
on his record. She will be 18
before she finishes school.
When will her checks stop?
A.H., Jackson
A. She can continue to
receive benefits on up to age
22 if she is a fulltime student,
unmarried and attends an
approved school.

Moving can be very
troublesome. Especially
when vou're off to settle
the wilderness.
The roads were terrible.
No restaurants along the way,
Whv, the trip itseif took

3ut. if vou were willing,
the government wouid give
you land. Land that was
bought and paid for with
monev raised from
Americans taking stock in
their country.
So thousands had a little
hand in every homestead.
Today, millions of
Americans are still taking
stock in their country by
buying U.S. Savings Bonds.
Because whether you
furchase Bonds through the
ayroll Savings Plan at
work, or through the Bond-
A-Month Plan where you
save, you’re putting your
money where it counts the
most. For you and for
your country.
So buy U.S. Savings
Bonds.
They'll put your savings
on the right road.
Now E Bonds pay 6% interest when held
to maturity of > years (4 4% the first
year) Interest is not subject to state or
local income taxes, and federal tax may be
deferred until redemption

We’re eating a lot of turkey
these days and we always
share dinner with our pets.
But they’ve been having in
digestion. Is turkey bad for
dogs?
W.C.M.
No. dogs love turkey and it's
good for them. But the roast tur
key and stuffing from your table
may be too highly spiced and the
gravy too rich for vour pet s di
gestive system. Also, turkey skin
is harsh, abrasive and indigesti
ble to a dog. But your dog can still
have turkey. There is a roast
turkey balanced dinner put out
under the Recipe brand that we
feed Lassie and our other dogs al 1
year round.
Dear Mr. Weatherwax:
Brandy is a beautiful pure
bred pup. He cost me a bun
dle and I worry about losing
him. How can I be sure he’ll
be returned to me if he ever
gets away?
D.S.T.
Nothing really guarantees a
pet sreturnifheisallowedtorun
free. He is threatened by traffic,
by irate neighbors and bv other
animals. He is endangered by ro
dent poisons, insecticides and
herbicides Be sure your dog
wears his current license, rabies
tag and an identification tag im
printed with vour dog s name and
your phone number. Many
humane societies also recom
mend having your pet protected
painlessly and permanently with
a tattoo through a dog tattooing
service and national registry.
I his will always he your proof of
ownership and Brandy's lifetime
identification anywhere in the
United States.

WIN FRIENDS 3 WAYS
The real secret of an attractive
personality is to offer other peo
ple the food they're hungry for
Here are three basic hungers
AUGUST 10th
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
that all normal humans have.
You might cal! this the
f riple-A technique for winning
friends. For when you use these
three A s." with an understand
ing of what i- behind them, you'll
find more and more people au
tomatically warming up to vou
! Aiveptaiuv. Accept people as
they are Allow them to be them
selves Don't insist on anyone
being perfect before you can like
him Don't fashion a moral strait
jacket and expect others to wear
it in order to gain your accep
tance. Above all. don t bargain
for acceptance. Don't say. in sub
stance. "I'll accept you if you do
this or that, or change your wavs
to -uit me. "
- Approval. Look for some
thing to approve in the other per
~on it may be something small or
insignificant. But let the other
person know you approve that.
and the number of things you can
sincerely approve of will begin to
grow When theotlter person gets
a taste of your genuine approval,
he will begin to change his be
havior so that he will be ap
proved for other things.
3. Appreciation. To appreciate
means to raise in value, as op
posed to depreciate, which means
to lower in value. Let other peos
pie know that you value them.
Treat other people as if they were
valuable to you. Don't keep them
waiting. Thank them. Give them
“special." individual treatment.
Pueblo a word we use for
Indian houses, comes from
the Spanish word for
“people."
