ANSWER: I doubt that l can
"shed light" on your problem.
Over the years have seen many
patients who have been bedeviled
by falling hair. 1t can become
quite distressing. Sometimes it
is only temporary. BY that l
mean, the condition has lasted
only a few months or perhaps a
year or two.
Then. the hair would begin
growing back in again. And
whoever was the doctor the
patient was consulting at that
time" automatically became a
hero or some kind of genius. "
1 know of no specific cure for
falling hair.
Yet, there is this to do. You
are wise in wanting to try
every avenue" Your skin spe-
cialist has found no evidence of
fungus or other infection as a
possible cause. Therefore, l
would suggest that you get on
the thyroid trail again.
Why not have your doctor
obtain a protein-bound iodine
test to check on your low meta
bolism tests? If this, too, is low,
l think you ought to start in on
very small doses of thyroid,
gradually increased under the
supervision of your doctor.
Your symptoms: fatigue, lack
of energy, sensitivity to cold.
puf1nesS under the eyes land
others certainly point suspici-
ously to the thyroid. However,
that can only be a guess on my
part. Allow your own doctor to
make the necessary diagnostic
procedures.

THE DETAILS

1lL DE AAAA0
Mrs. G. Dive recently
moved to a new neighborhood,
Ia much better one than we had
lived in before.
"Since we have been here, our
11-year-old daughter has been
bitterly unhappy. She claims the
other children do not like her
One girl, in particular, is making
things hard for her. This girl
makes fun of my daughters
clothes, her mannerisms, her way
of talking.
my daughter is pretty, well
spoken and nicely dressed. She
looks as good as any of the
other children. 1 just can't
understand it and 1 have tried
to speak to this girl to see why
she hates my daughter so much.
Il could get nothing out OF
her. But my daughter has been
so unhappy, 1 feel that the only
thing to do is to move and get
her away from this painful
situation"

can't control these situations kids
get into. We can't go around

to this other little girls parents

By RAY HENRY

For nearly two years. Mrs.
Smith had been working as Sec
rotary to her husband in his
real estate Office.
They'd worked out this ar
rangement because her husband
had trouble getting a secretary
And. now their three children
were grown, it gave Mrs. Smith
a chance to keep busy. Further
more, she was a good secretary
AS Mr.. Smith had for his
other secretaries, he was paying
Social Security tax on his wife's
wages and making deductions for
Social Security from her pay
check.
Then, one day over coffee. Mr.
Smith talked to a lawyer friend
about how his wife was his
secretary. The lawyer who
made 1t a hobby to keep posted
on Social Security told Mr.. Smith
he was wasting his money paying
Social Security tax on his wife
because the law bars her from
coverage. He advised talking
with the local Social Security
office.
wife Wasn't Covered
Sure enough, Mr.. Smith found
out from the local ONCE man
ager. his wife wasn't covered.
The law makes certain excep-
tions IN coverage where a family
relationship Is involved in the
employment. One OF these ex-
ceptions is when a wife works
for a husband or a husband
works for a wife
The manager also advised Mr..
Smith 70 apply TO the Internal
Revenue Service for a refund o.
the tax he had paid on his wife.
And he told Mr. Smith. il was
lucky he had come IN because
refunds weren't possible unless
they we're applied for within two
years
OF course. Mr.. Smith wanted
70 know why the exceptions 70
coyerage existed.
The manager explained that

SECURITY FOR YOU
Coveroge Is Barred
In Family Employment

it was a decision made by Con-
gress back in 1889 because it
felt that coverage of family en-
ployment might result in at
tempts to build up false Social
Security credits.
"Are there any other. excep-
tons involving family employ
ment," Mr.. Smith asked.
Yes. he was told. There are
two other exceptions:
/. Services performed by a
father or mother in the employ
of his or her son or daughter.
and
2. Services performed by a son
or daughter under the age Of 81
in the employ of his or her
father or mother.
Corporations Different
However. the Office manager
pointed out. where a corporation
is involved the employment OF
sons. daughters. fathers, mothers,
etc. has no bearing on Social
Security coverage. All members
of a corporation may be covered
no matter what the family re-
lationship might be.
And. he pointed out. in some
cases. family relationship has no
bearing on coverage where a
partnership Is involved.
. For example: Suppose two per-
sons having no relationship 70
each other form a partnership
Hiring a parent or parents or
husband or wife Of one or both
of the partners doesn't prohibit
Social Security coverage.
However. if two brothers form
a partnership and they hire their
father or mother. no Social Sc
curity coverage for the mother
or father is possible.
