THE DECATUR DAILT DEMOCRAT. DECATUR, INDIANA

Epoxies Are Good, Also Expensive From “The Farm Quarterly” Epoxies are a fairly new group of plastics with a wide range' of farm uses. A report from the Farm Quarterly magazine sums them up as excellent but expensive. A pure epoxy resin is very brittle and for normal use compounds are added to make ft more pliable. Sometimes a substance like limestone or mica may also be added as a cheap filler, so an epoxy should be bought from a reputable dealer and tor a specific purpose in order to insure desired results. As adhesives they are unexcelled. They will bond metals, wood, Masonite, stone, ceramics, or any combinations of these. The only things they won’t cement are some plastics. Often the repaired crack or a new joint is stronger than the original material. A word of warning — beware of epoxies sold under labels which claim they will glue ahything to anything. They may do a good job; on the other hand, they may be weaker than an epoxy designed especially for the material being glued. As protective coats, epoxies make durable coatings or paints for roofs, floors, wall and liners for containers — metal, concrete or wood. They have a high resistence to chemical attack. Epoxies can be used on dairy Walls, or perhaps farrowing pens, and other places where sanitation is important. Though there is considerable controversy as to the economy and practicality of their use in silos, it is being done. Epozy lining makes the walls of a silo practically gas-tight. Epoxies have been used to repair cracks in trees. One farmer lined corroded metal chicken drinkers with epoxy paint. A veterinarian used epoxy to mend quarter cracks in horses’ hooves. NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY — By JACK HELLER SCHOOL DAYS Lloyd Cowens stopped in this week with an article from the Indianapolis Star that tells how a television set can be adjusted to receive the “flying classroom" lessons. In this area, since all of the Fort Wayne stations are UHF» about the only requirement is an adjustment of the antenna. The article stresses the fact, that the antenna should be pointed directly at Montpelier, as a variance of a few degrees can have quite an effect. For a VHF set, a special lead-in wire has to be used, plus a UHF converter. While the classes are designed for classroom use, they would undoubtedly benefit many people at home. The classes range from elementary through college level. PLAY IT WHERE IT LIES When the talk gets around to tough lies in golf, the dilemma of John Richard- Eichhorn has to be considered. A few years ago, “Ike” and some friends traveled north to the lake country, and took their golf clubs along. One of the holes on the course had a shed along one side of the fairway. Every one teed off, and Ike’s ball rolled over toward the shed. The rest of the group went on down the fairway, hit their second shots, and waited for Ike. After waiting quite a while, and not seeing him around the shed, they decided to go over and help him hunt his ball. They looked around the shed, and no John. Finally, they looked inside the shed, and there was Ike. down on his hands and knees, with a fishing pole, trying to pull his ball out from under an old sofa that was stored in the shed. It is doubtful that Ike had to take a penalty stroke for that lie. MAN, DAT’S ALL It is hoped that the Jaycee minstrel show provided as much fun for the audience as it did for the cast during the performances. The second night of the show ran a little longer than planned, as several things took place that weren’t in the script. Chuck Stonestreet; "threw” a shoe in one of his dance numbers. Chuck had busted the same strap before, and had had it fixed, but the pressure exerted during that fancy dance must have been too much. John Eichenberger got a coughing fit, but Gene Ziner and Ted Hill came to his rescue. Jhck Petrie expressed the Jaycees appreciation to everyone who helped make the show a success and a lot of fun. The three youngsters, Mike Stonestreet, Terry Dellinger and Tom Baxter,, all performed very well. The show was the type of thing that was nice to be in, and nice to have over. I— 11 — *"**"*

Six-YearOld Boy Is In Critical Condition David Rich, six-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. Norval Rich, route 4, Decatur, is listed in critical condition at the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne, as he has contacted some form of encephalitis, commonly known as sleeping sickness. The boy had been ill for some time with a virus flu, but was believed to be recovering. Thursday, however, the boy went into convulsions, and was immediately rushed to the hospital. The virus germ apparently settled in the spine and brain of the lad, which would cause the sleeping sickness. No improvement or further details on his condition had been noted today. |Trive7n| SUN. & MON. 1 00HBLE . ■ TICIWCOLOK WP"" - *" PLUS—Delightful in Color! “TOMBOY and Adorable 13-Year Old Candy Moore & Champy, (Black Angus) -0 TONITE—"DONDI” David Janssen, Patti Page, David Kory, & “By Love Possessed” — Color Lana Turner, Efram Zimbalist Jr. •

(Editor's Note) Do you have any questions about Social Security? We all do, don’t we? Send any question you might have to Social Security Quiz, c/o Daily Democrat. You’ll find vour answer in this column, which is published regu larly.) I Q- I am receiving a reduced wife’s benefit which was effective With my 62nd birthday. If I should' lose my husband, would I receive the full unreduced wife’s benefit? A. No, the unreduced wife’s benefit is one-half the husband’s benefit. If your husband passed away, you would receive widow’s benefit which is currently percent of the husband’s benefit. 2. Q. Do you recommend that I retire at age 62, or do you think I should wait until I am 65 years of age? A. The social security administration never recommends or advises anyone when they should retire. However, the social security administration will provide you with the information you need to help you make your decision. When to retire is a decision which each person must make individually. Your health and financial condition are important factors you should consider in making this decision. 3. Q. I am over retirement age, but I am disabled and cannot . wdrk. When I applied for social security, I was one quarter short. Since I am disabled, I cannot possibly go to work to earn this one quarter of coverage to become eligible. Does this mean I’ll never be able to receive social security? A. The 1961 amendments reduc ed the quarters of coverage necessary for insurance status. The | minimum requirement needed is 16-quarters of coverage: therefore, we suggest that you contact your local social security office immediately to discuss the filing of of another application. 4. Q. Do the recent changes in' social security have anything to do with hospital care? A. No. Hospital or medical care benefits under social security are not a part of these changes. 5. Q. I’m a widow 64 and have been getting social security checks since my husband died last year. ] Will my monthly check be more ' because of the new law*? i I A. Yes. Widows over 62 will get ! about 10% more. The check you will get early in September will be in the new amount. 6. Q. I’ve been getting $33 a month. Will I get a raise? A. Yes. Two groups Will get higher benefits. You’re in one of the groups, those who get the minimum benefit. The other group ' includes women over 62 who are )ge 11 in g widow’s checks. Your ' check should have been raised to S4O a month beginning with the check you got in September. - 7. Q. The paper said that those getting the minimum benefit will get a raise. Who does this include? A. Most workers who received less than S4O a month received an increase. Most families who received less than S6O a month also got tab increase. I 8. Q. I heard they’d lowered the ’ qualifying age for men. Is this true? • A. Yes. Men can now get retirement checks at age 62. However, if you take your check beI fore 65 it is reduced. How much l it will be reduced depends on how I many months you’re under 65. For example: if you take your re- ) tirement checks starting with the j j month you're 62, they would be | reduced 20%. If you'd have got-1 I ten SIOO a month at 65, you’d get ] SBO a month at 62.
