(or a combination of the two)
may be as much as $1,000 in
year. This replaces a provision in
the old law whereby an employed
person had to forego one or more
months payment if his earnings
were more than SIS month, and
a self-employed person getting
insurance benefit payments was
restricted to 5000 earnings in a
year. Benefciaries who could not
accept social security checks for
certain months under the old law,
but who can meet the conditions
of the new provisions, are advised
to get in touch with their social
security Office. The Social Security
Administration also calls atten-
ton to the lowering of the age
restriction on earnings by bene-
ficiaries from rs to 72. On reach
ing age 72, an insured person is
now permitted to have earnings
of any amount and still get bene-
fit checks each month in the year.
This provision goes into effect al
so at the beginning of 1855, and
any person between 72 and rs
who has not claimed his benefits
because he has continued to work
should file his claim now, even if
he plans to keep on working.
Effective on January 1. further
more, was a provision to protect
the social security insurance
rights of the totally disabled. This
is not cash disability insurance,
but a means whereby a person
who has been totally disabled for
a period of six months or more
may apply to have his social Sc
curity earnings record frozen" as
of the time of the onset of the
disability. Beneficiaries now on the
rolls who were totally disabled be-
fore they became eligible for old
age benefit payments and who are
still disabled may apply under the
provision to have their benefit
amount refgured to disregard the
; period of disability. However, nc
benefit can be increased under this
provision before July, 1855. To be
eligible for the disability freeze
person must have been in work
covered by social security for five
: out of the last ten years before
the disability began. Also, he must
have been in covered work al
: least one-half the time during The
; three years just before he became
disabled. Applications for tht
freeze" from people who have
become disabled after establishing
social security account, will nov
be accepted by the local social Sc.
curity office.

OvercrOwding of hispitals in
recent years had been the grad
ual awarenesS by the public
that a surgical operation is
prelude not to death but to life.
People have come to realize
that a modern, well-equipped hos
pital is friendly, helpful haven
where patients recover from their
maladies more quickly and more
satisfactorily than at home. They
also know that today hospitals
possess equipment and instru-
ments not found in the average
doctors office, because they are
too heavy to transport to a pa
tents bedside and too expensive
for purchase by one individual
doctor.
The new wing planned for
Suburban Hospital will have a
completely modern surgical de-
partment with equipment of
the most advanced design. In
addition to four major and one
minor operating rooms the
suite will also contain rooms
where doctors and nurses will

Editor, .
The Montgomery County Sentinel
Dear Sir:
The subject of this letter is
"How to get to Washington from
the bedrooms of Washington on
the Maryland SIDE"
First, let us state the situa-
ton as it exists. There are
thousands of homes being built
each month, being sold each
month, being occupied each
month by Marland citizens who
commute daily to Washington.
There are two main roads that
carry the brunt of this traffic
daily. These two roads are
glorified cow paths. One of these
two roads has two concrete
strips added to the old, old
original horse trail and this addi-
ton makes it a 1850 mile an
hour modern Maryland road.
This road is easily recognized,
VierS Mill Road. The other
road has the doubtful honor of
having the highest accident rate
in Montgomery County. This
road is a real death trap, three
lane road, with passing zones
marked in faded white. This
road is also easily recognized as
Route 240, Rockville Pike OF the
Wisconsin Pike.
Then there is that dreamed of
new road that we'd love to see
in actual form the new Route
24O.
Travelling on Viers Mill Road
and Rockville Pike to Washing
ton daily has caused more acct
dents of the non-countable sort
ulcers, fractured nerves, har-
raised husbands and unhappy
homes.
This is the picture. Now what
is to be done about it? 1t seems
to me that three years ago
money was allotted from some
place for the undermining of
Viers Mill Road and making it
into a modern divided four lane
highway for through traffic.
(There are needs for two types
of roads, according to my hus-
band. The fast through high
ways for long distance travel
and the service roads for neigh
borhood travel and the short
hauls.) We are three years later
still waiting to see some action
on Viers Mill Road. Can't we
PIN DOWN SOME RESPON-
SIBLE INDIVIDUAL AND GET
SOME ACTION?
Now as to the new dream
road of new Route 240. / love
parks, too. But can't we go over
the park, under the park, through
or around the park? Why can't
Maryland get a man like Moses
of New York-a man who will
help our road situation? It's all
very we'll to have commissions
but let's have action.
A Reader.
Editors Note: AS the SEN.
TINEL reported on Oct. 20 and
Dec. 8 respectively, the Viers
Mill and Route 240 road work
will start on Jan. 10 and In
February. Our issues of
those dates contained complete
details on the character of the
new road. Cheer up - the
roads will never catch up with
county growth, but at least
they are due for Improve.
