SENATE OFFICE BUILDING
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510
(This week Senator Gambrell answers your questions about
Social Security, a new secretarial internship program and mili
tary deferments.)
Dear Senator Gambrell: My husband was employed as a
stonecutter until rheumatoid arthritis caused him to quit work
on the advice of his doctor. He is confined to bed most of the
time and so is unable to participate in the Vocational Rehabili
tation. He applied for Social Security benefits and was turned
down. My husband would work if he could, but he can’t even
help around the house without having a crippling attack. I
would deeply appreciate anything you could do to help.
1 certainly regretted to learn of your situation and I hope that
we will be of some assistance to your husband. It will be neces
sary for him to file for reconsideration of his claim by the Social
Security Administration. When he has done this, I will be glad
to get in touch with the appropriate officials to see that the mat
ter is thoroughly investigated, and that your husband receives
every consideration provided by law. and by common courtesy.
As you know, Senators and Congressmen have no direct control
over federal administrative officials such as those who admin
ister Social Security. I hope that my efforts, and those of my
staff, will prove to be helpful. I will forward to you a report
on this matter when it is received from the agency.
Dear Senator Gambrell: / am currently finishing a secretarial
course at a Vocational-Technical School. Are there any pro
grams whereby I could work in a secretarial intern program for
a limited period of time in Washington, D.C.?
1 have visited several Vocational Technical Schools during
the last year and at every one I have been impressed with the
dedication and enthusiasm of the students. For this reason, 1 am
starting a secretarial internship program here in my office. Any
Georgia Vo-Tech graduate may compete for these internships.
The internships will be for a period of six months and could
lead to permanent employment in my office or elsewhere in
the Nation's Capitol. I think this would be an excellent oppor
tunity for anyone interested in their Government. Write me if
you are interested.
Dear Senator Gambrell: Our community, in fact our whole
county, is in desperate need of a doctor. We have one young
man who is currently finishing his medical residency on the
'‘Berry Plan,” however, he is scheduled to go into the Army, in
view of these circumstances, and in view of current military
cutbacks in the medical fields, would you please inquire if it
would be possible to release this young man from his military
service if he agrees to practice in our community?
The young doctor in question has already contacted me re
garding his desire to serve your community. The Department of
Army has agreed to place him in “Ready Reserve" status and
has released him from Active Duty so that he can be of service
to your community in his professional capacity. I am delighted
that we were able to be of assistance in this case.
This column is based entirely on actual correspondence with
your United States Senator’s office. Should you require informa
tion or assistance in dealing with federal agencies or programs,
why not contdctHU.S. Senator David Gambrell in the New Sen
ate Office Building, Washington, D.C. or the Federal Building
in Atlanta or Tifton. Perhaps the answer to your question will
help a fellow Georgian.

POISON PREVENTATIVE
The season of poison ivy,
and sumac is here. It’s often
difficult to tell when a child
has been exposed to these
discomfort causing plants. So
after hikes, picnics, and general
warm weather play, a good
soaking down in a hot water
bath is a preventative measure
that can stop plant poison
before it causes irritation.
