A Sober Thought Today many people will leave Decatur on trips, will arrive here to visit friends or relatives, or will be driving on the highways during the three-day Labor Day holiday. Chances are very good that when our next issue comes out on Tuesday, some of our friends will be dead. In fact, approximately 441 persons are expected to die this weekend. This year, 38,850 people will die in traffic accidents. If the earth that it will take to bury them, was piled evenly on a football field, it would tower 50 feet in the air. Don’t be a statistic Tuesday—drive carefully, ride only with those you know well and trust to drive sensibly. Drive defensively—it's your own life you will be protecting. More than half of the traffic deaths in this country occur at night—in fact, if you will remember back this summer, most of them here in this area have occurred at night. Be especially careful this weekend, and don’t drive unless it is necessary.

I Social Security Quiz Answers Many Queries

1. Q— My husband and I draw social security benefits and these payments are not large enough to pay for our daily living expenses plus our doctor bills. Is there any way we can get free medicine? A—We cannot increase your social security benefits because you have additional medical expenses. If you are in financial need, it is suggested you contact the county welfare department. 2. Q—Are social security payments to dependents of disabled workers automatic? A—No. You must apply by filing a claim at your local social security office. If you are physically not able to get to the office, write to them and ask that someone from the office come to your home. 3. Q—l understand that a woman worker who takes her social security at age 62 has her payment reduced 20%. Is her payment increased automatically to the full amount when she reaches 65? A—No. She would receive the reduced amount for life. 4. Q—My husband is receiving Disability Insurance Benefits. Since I have our young son in my care, my son and I are also receiving benefits. My husband is not expected to live. What happens to our benefits if he dies? A—At present as dependents of a disabled worker, you and your son each receive an amount equal to % your husband’s benefit. If he dies, his check stops. You and your son will then receive an amount equal to Vi of your husband’s amount instead of As widow you will receive a lump sum death payment. 5. Q —l am a woman teacher and will be 65 in January 1960. I had to stop work in January 1959 duqj, to illness. Now I’m considering retirement. My wages have been over $4200 every year. Is it true I lose 20% if I apply for social security benefits now? How much would I get now and at age 65? A—You would not lose 20% but only 6%% since you are 64 and the reduction is prorated on a monthly basis. You would receive $108.30 if you apply as of age 64 and sll6 per month if you wait until age 65. 6. Q —l am 59 and have had 2 attacks of phlebitis so bad I can hardly walk. Am I eligible for disability payments? A—This is a medical question which can only be decided on the basis of medical evidence. The only way you can get an answer is to visit your nearest social security office and file a claim. 7. Q—l was age 65 in October 1958. My Self-employment income from watch repairs in 1959 will amount to approximately $1,500. Is it possible to give S3OO to my church and charities in order to keep my earnings within the $1,200 annual earnings test? A—Contributions to church and charities are not deductible business expenses in your trade. Thus for the sociay security retirement test your earnings for 1959 would amount to $1,500. 8. Q —ls a wife age 62 eligible for benefits on her husband’s account even though he is past age 72 and working? ■ A—She would be eligible ’ for reduced wife’s benefits if he applied.

Soil Conservationist Change Here Tuesday The change of work unit conservationists at the Decatur soil conservation office will take place Tuesday when Milton Spence replaces Cletus Gillman who, is being transferred to Rensselaer in Jasper county. Spence will assume his new duties after spending one year at the Fort Wayne office of the Allen district. Also involved in the switch is Elmer Phelps, who will replace Spence at Fort Wayne. Gillman, who was the first work unit conservationist to work with the Adams district supervisors five years ago, will take charge of a similar revamping project at the Jasper district, which is one of the largest in the state. Enameled Woodwork Enameled woodwork can be very nicely cleaned with a mixture of one cup kerosene, one cup of vinegar, and a half-cup of water in a bottle. Shake this mixture thoroughly, apply to the woodwork with a soft cloth, and follow with a dry cloth.

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER WHAT SAT? A local businessman, who will remain anonymous, was worried about losing his hearing in one ear. At first, the condition wasn’t given too much thought, but as weeks went by and things didn’t get any better, he thought he’d better consult a doctor. He was sent to a specialist in the field. The doctor gave him a thorough examination, and recommended an operation. It wasn’t too serious though. The specialist did a little probing and came out with the cause of the deafness—a pencil eraser. Which all goes to prove you better be careful what you clean your ears with; use toothpicks myself. SOUNDS GOOD We listen to the radio quite a bit at home, and a current popular song is quite a change. After years of dreary ballads about someone losing their love, and countless raucous rock and roll blurbs on the same subject, someone came along with a song entitled “High Hopes.” While it is probably nothing from a musical standpoint, it is nonetheless refreshing from point of view. It looks up, instead of down or backwards. Most of life, it seems, is a matter of outlook, and why should anyone be negative when they can be positive .just as easily? CAN’T SEE A THING... Another unidentified local young person was getting used to contact lenses. They were getting along very well, too. There wasn’t the sometimes present inflammation, and within a few days, they were well adjusted to the tiny lenses. Then one evening, they asked someone to look at their eyes and see if they noticed anything odd. Sure enough, one eye was considerably crossed. A hurried check was made, and then the situation was resolved. Seems the first contact lens had stuck to the finger instead of the eye ball. On putting the second one in, the first had stuck to the top of it, so both lenses were in one eye, and the double strength was causing undue pull. Anyone who have ever seen the tiny glasses can understand how it can happen. CIVILIZATION IS WONDERFUL Roy Kalver passed along some interesting information last week. Mr. Kalver was reading a publication about the near east, and came across some improvements in the social conditions in Saudi Arabia. In years past, the punishment for stealing was for the culprit to lay his hand on a block and have it chopped off with an axe. No longer. in this day and age of modern science. The thief is given an ane-> sthetic, and a surgeon removes the pilfering limb with a scalpel. A wandering wife was stoned to death in days gone by, but the Arabs have cleaned that up too. Now she is shot. These modern days have made everybody soft. BURP Clete Miller, out at the Fairway, is a businessman who likes to see his customers happy, even when it hurts. The restaurant features some meals that the customer can eat all he wants for a set price. Usually, this means two helpings, at the most, but one hungry person seemed to ignore precedent. The waitresses, management and customers looked on in amazement while the person devoured six servings of fish recently. They say the army travels on its stomach—this guy must be a one-man regiment. Forecast For Fair Weather On Holiday United Press International A warm and sunny Labor Day weekend was promised for Indiana today. Because most Hoosiers had three days off from their labors to relax in the last vacation fling of the summer season, nobody seemed to mind that temperatures probably will shoot into the 90s. Forecasters expected cloudless skies and temperatures well above seasonal normals through Monday. Highs today will range from the upper 80s to the low 90s, highs Sunday will range from the mid 80s to the mid 90s, and Monday will be “continued fair and warm.” The mercury started its climb Friday, hitting 85 at Fort Wayne, 86 at Indianapolis. 87 at Lafayette and Chicago, 88 at South Bend, 89 at Evansville and 91 at Louisville and Cincinnati.
