If You Become Disabled

Day after day people come into
our Office and say, Pm disabled for
work and ! want to Apply for bene-
fit payments" Quite often they are
irked when the Interviewer hands
them medical report form together
with a letter from them to their
doctor. This letter describes the
form and explains Why the appli-
cant is asking his doctor 10 furnish
the medical information we must
have to make a sound determin-
alton
You see, the disabled person is
responsible for getting the medical
evidence needed to show the extent
of his disability. We must ask him
to take or mail this letter and form
to his doctor. 1t may be that the
applicant was, at some time, treated
for disabling condition in a clinic
hospital, institution, or agency. If
so, we may also give him a medical
report form and a letter to be sent
to that institution asking for medi-
cal evidence about his case from
their records.
On the medical report form the
doctor, hospital, institution, or a.
gency gives the medical history of
the applicants case-what they
have found to be wrong with him,
how severe the disability is, what
medical tests have shown, and what
treatments and medicines he has
received. In no case are they asked
to decide whether the applicant is
or is not totally disabled. We
shall explain in a moment how the
decision is made.
Our social security office will
advise the applicant how to get
whatever medical evidence, proofs,
and documents he may need to sup
port his application.
When all the necessary medical
evidence in his case has been CHI
tanned and put in his file along with
other available information on en-
ployability, work experience edu-
cation and training, the complete
file is sent to the agency of his
State under an agreement between
the State and the Federal govern
ment
A team" of highly trained peo-
pie in this Agencr-doctors who
have had experience in seeing the
effects of disabling conditions upon
peoples ability to werk-will con-
slider all the facts in the file and
make a decision as to whether the
applicant is totally disabled" un-
der the social security law. In
reaching this decision, they will
use certain guides which were de-
velOped with the advice of a Ma
tional Medical Advisory Committee,
composed or representatives of the
medical profession. This decision
and all the evidence upon which it
is based will be reviewed by the
Social Security Administration. The
applicant will be notified by letter
from the Social Security Admini-
stration as soon as a decision has
been reached in his case.

High on the list of good buys
in the meat department is smoked
shoulder butt. This rich-iisyored
meat ranges in weight from one to
four pounds and for the most part
has lots of lean meat.
Though this ham-fiavored meat
may be roasted, a popular way of
cooking 1t is by simmering. To
simmer simply cover it with wa
ter and add some whole cloves, a
bay leaf, sliced onion, and about
half a cup of vinegar. Cover and
simmer until tender, allowing
about 45 minutes per pound. Serve
the meat on warm platter for
slicing at the dinner table, or cool
anu chill the meat for use in sand
wiches or cold meat platters later.
With the rising of spring tides
and the decrease in demand for
fresh fish (Lent being over), there
is a big supply on hand with a
wide variety available to choose
from. You will find croaker, flcun-
der. mackerel, pOrgy, sea bass and
shad, all will make excellent din
ners. Try shrimp, crabmeat, or lob
ster as special dishes for festive
occasions, or to dress up an ether
wise routine meal.
Eggs are real bargain now with
the large size egg being your best
buy. Remember though, to get a
truly good buy, regardless OF
price, buy eggs that are refrigera-
ted. Those stored at room tempera-
ture grow old" rapidly, this is
true regardless of where eggs are
stOred-home or in the store.
Fresh vegetables are more plen-
tiful this weekend with the quail
ty being much better. New green
peas, garden-fresh carrots, new
potatoes, long tender green aspara-
gus, all good buys" this week.
Fresh sweet corn is on this list of
buys too, selling as low as 6 for
25c, and of course some very good
heads of lettuce, at reasonable
prices, are on the vegetable stall.
This week there are a number
of canned and frozen foods to
look for such as canned peaches,
purple plums and of course sweet
corr, frozen strawberries, green
peas and green beans. Now would
be an excellent time to buy a few
extra packages of these frozen
foods for the freezer and of course
canned food keeps indefinitely, so
buy number of cans to put on
the pantry shelf for later use. So
stock up on these items now fer
it will mean real saving in cold,
hard cashl

HOmemaking Field Trip
On Thursday a group of home
making students toured two COM
mercial plants in Baltimore. They
visited the William ScAinderberg-
T. ]. Hurdle Company, who packs
ESSKAY meat products, where they
saw all steps in the meat packing
industry. They followed the pigs
and cows through all processes
from the pen to where they were
packaged as we buy them in the
stores. The factory was very clean
and all meats were government
inspected. All parts of the animal
are used; there is no waste except
the viscra. All of the group were
guests of the company for lunch in
their cafeteria.
The other factory visited was
The Stieff Company, silversmithes.
The group was divided into three
smaller groups and shown how
spoons are stamped and shaped,
how the design is placed on them
and how they are polished for re-
tail. Most of the girls were espec-
tally interested in seeing how hol-
loware was shaped.
Two methods of putting on de-
signs were demonstrated chas-
ing and the engraving methods.
Each girl was given a lucky
piece made of Stieff Sterling Silver
/ as a SOuVenier.

Veterans Administration
IMPORTATION SERVICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Il am a World War II veteran
and l own a house bought with
CT loan. Suppose / have to
dispose of it for some COM
pelling reason after July IS,
1858, the deadline for World
War II veterans applying for
CT loans. If VA restored my
entitlement, would | be eligi-
BILE for another CT loan even
though the deadline had pass
ed?
Yes. If after the World War II
CT loan deadline the VA re-
stored your entitlement, you
would be eligible for another
CT loan. Your new deadline
would be January 81, 1865. OF
course, VA would have to be
relieved of its guaranty liabili-
ty under the original loan.
Il hold CT insurance policy
and my list of beneficiaries is
on file with the VA. Would it
be possible to change my bene-
f1ciaries through my last will
and testament, or would I have
to notify VA of the change?
You could not change your
beneficiaries through your last
will and testament, even though
you do have The right to make
your original beneficiary desig-
nation in that way. You would
have to notify VA of the
change.
VA has just given me "provis-
ional approval" for War Orph-
ans schooling. Would l be per-
mitted to start school now un-
der the program, before re-
ceiving vocational cOunseling
and final approval?
Yes, you could begin school
now under the program. But
if vocational cOunseling indi-
Gates you would be better off
in a course other than the one
you select, and should you then
decide to change, you would be
charged with one of the two
changes of course allowed by
law. However, if you arranged
for your allowances to begin
after counseling and after fl
nal approval, you would not
be charged with a program
change.
What is the deadline for finish
ing vocational rehabilitation
training under Public Law 894
for disabled Korean conflict
veterans?
If you were discharged before
August 20, 1854, you have un-
til August 20, 1868, to complete
your training. If you were dis
charged after August 20, 1854,
your deadline is January 81,
1854, or nine years from dis
charge, whichever is earlier.
Under some circumstances the
deadline can be extended for
four years.

GENTLEMEN:
FEEL FREE
TO CRY

The next time wife or
sweetheart turns on the
tears. Just let them 60.
There's more truth than
cliche about the old saying,
have a good cry" accord
ing to the latest findings Of
researchers on the subject.
Crying is not harmful. In
fact. according to most psy-
biologists and physiolo-
gists. 1t may be helpful
on occasion, since 1t oc-
ours in a state Of emotional
transition and is almost al
ways accompanied by a
feeling Of relief.
Thus. when women cry,
unless they're turning on
phony tears to sway a hap
less male to their point of
view, they're simply bring
ing their nervous system
back into balance and re-
turning to mental and
physical well-beine.
Then why don't men cry?
They could. but from
childhood the stronger
sex" is conditioned to be-
lieve that tears are taboo to
all that's masculine.
Achilles shed tears over
the death of Ajax. Alex
ander wept on beholding
the land he had conquered.
Napoleon, watching his
French army disintegrate
in the Russian winter,
sobbed in Illustration and
grief.
But Joe Smith? He turns
purple, pops q vein. gets an
ulcer-and remains dry
eyed through the whole
sorry mess.

With 1874 fewer persons on the
