WHITE 155 Highway Stockbridge, Ga. 6/26 ts Disability Benefits For Women Disability benefits for women, and other disability subjects, are discussed in today’s column. These ques tions and answers are furnished by Walter Hendrix, District Manager of the East Point Social Security Office. Q. Can a woman draw her disability social security for herself and her children even though her husband has a full time job? A. Yes. A disabled woman worker can draw disability pay ments on her own social securi ty record and her children can also be paid on her record. Her husband may be fully em ployed at a high income. Your need is not a consideration in social security payments. Q. Why doesn’t social secur ity pay a person for the first six months after he becomes disabled? A. After the month your disability begins, there is a waiting period of 6 full calen dar months before benefit pay ments may start. Benefits may not be payable for any month during the six-month waiting period. The social security pro gram is not designed to pay people with temporary disabili ties. Q. What medical evidence is necessary to establish my claim for disability payments? A. Ordinarily the evidence from your attending physician and clinical reports from your hospital are all that’s necessary. Sometimes, we may need more information. Then social secur ity arranges for a qualified specialist to examine you. Local Students At GHP Local students are well-rep resented in Macon, at the sixth annual Governor's Honors Pro gram.

The an swer is, of course, that he or she is just what he wants the public to believe .. . usually. They “put on a face” for all to see. and many begin to live behind the facade so constant ly that they lose true identity. For some that is probably bet ter than being natural, for everyone, whether famous or not, can usually be improved in some form. However, occasionally a per son meets a celebrity under circumstances which bring out the “real" character of the “star", and then one can learn a lot about the individual. Such was the case with this reporter recently on a trip to Indianapolis, where we acci dentally ran into Alan Sher man . . . the little rotund boy ish-faced man who made the song parody “Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda, Here I am at Camp Granada", a few years back. He's made many more since, of course, but that is possibly his fame-making one. Alan was appearing at a sup per club in Indy and the friends whom we were visiting decided to take us along to see ■ him. We were somewhat sur prised al his appearance, since he has allowed his speckled gray hair to grow rather long, and has sprouted a moustache and goalee. That makes quite a change in his looks, and he certainly has lost the boyish look, but then perhaps that was his intent, since he is in his mid-forties! We sat through his show, which was rather hilarious, and he does perform longer than the usual one-man act. He had written and produced a show for Broadway entitled “The Fig Leaves Are Falling,” which lasted only three nights. That set him back slightly in spirit, but he uses some of the songs from the show, including one which is the most appropriate we have heard in a long dutn which is scheduled Io be voted on July Bth.

Not shown are Grady Cox, first vice president; Toby Fountain, third vice president; and Ben Lee, Lion tamer. while all about a man who will tight a cause for any rea son. Some of the words say “(•ive me a picket sign, give me a slogan, tell me to march and 1 11 march , . . Give me a cause and then tell me . . . am I for something or not?” It goes on in the same vein of thought, and the precision of rhyme and music is something to behold. Mr. Sherman is truly talented in this field! Following his performance he joined us at our table, .dong with his accompanist. I ee Nor ris, who is an excellent pianist Alan was reminiscing about how he broke into the crazy business of show. “After the War I was work ing as an extra writer at CBS radio. Garry Moore had a radio show then, and the network was just starling into TV. The head writer quit suddenly, just as Garry was going into his own show on the tube, so I tried out as writer for awhile and somebody up there liked me. I wrote material for “I've Got a Secret" for many years, then on the Garry Moore vari ety show he brought me out before the cameras one night, and there I was!” Garry encouraged Alan to record his little ditties, such as "Camp Granada” and he was an instant success. Alan pushed his boyishness even more by constant referrals to his mother, with albums like, “My Son, the Folk Singer", and in his act he says that he was brought up to believe that he had to clean up his plate so the children of Europe wouldn’t starve! That’s how he got so fat, he declares, and has found himself telling his own children the same thing. “Why, do you realize,” he asks, “if we hadn’t been trying to save all that food for the European children who were starving, there wouldn't be so many over weight Americans?” Alan suffers a great deal with Asthma and assorted aller gies, for which he had to see a doctor while in Indianapolis. “He took away my little squeeze thing,” Alan lamented, referring to a nasal spray bottle he'd been carrying like Linus' security blanket. “He gave me some silly little pills, but 1 told him I had to have my little squeeze thing, or I can’t breathe!” he remarked with the same dead-pan expression that has acclaimed him as one of the driest wits of our time. Career-wise Mr. Sherman is pretty stable at present, doing a couple of appearances a year in Las Vegas, plus some one week and even a few one-night engagements around the coun try. He is going to Germany to do a show for two weeks as a sort of Goodwill tour (many American performers have been doing this for the past few years relatively unnoticed by the American public.), and has some Fair dates booked in the Fall. (Nothing in Atlanta, however.) After talking with Mr. Sher man for several hours, do we think we met the “real” Alan' 1 Yes, we do, or at least as close as anyone aside from his family might get to him. He is a down-to-earth, realistic guy, seeing things for what they are and not putting on any airs about himself or other situa tions. He had also been appear ing on a local morning TV show in Indy and had ex pounded on artificial people who act like they are trying to help the underdog when they are actually in it for personal glory . . . and specifically made reference to some “ghetto workers” he’d seen. The next day he received a three page typed letter from an old lady ex-school teacher which literal ly “chewed him out” for stat ing his views. That episode up set our little man very much, and he allowed us to read the letter. We felt that the fact he was, upset showed how humane he ”is.
