own retirement.
AS to veterans, the new law
credits everybody on active duty
between September is, 1910 and
January l, 1857 with Social Sc
curity credits for each month of
service equal to what he would
have earned on $3.50 a month of
civilian wages. If already dis
charged, you can't claim these
credits for any period of service
you're drawing military retife-
ment pay on. If discharged after
January 1, 1857, time in uniform
since 1850 can be counted toward
Social Security and military re-
tirement.

also start drawing at 62, but they
get only 80 per cent of the full
benefit. All these early payments
to women start with November,
1856. The nearer you are to 65
when you start drawing, the
smaller the penalty. For example:
Your husband earned $500 a
month and is retired. If 81, you
can start drawing $37 month.
If you wait a year you come in
at S41.10; two years, $45.20;
three years, $49.30 age 65). Or
you have been earning $500 a
month. At 81 you can retire at
$3.50 a month; SO, $85.40; "a,
S92; and IS, $98.50.

QUES HONS
AND ANSW ERS

@. Is It financially more advan-
tageous for women to draw So
cial Security benefits at 62 under
the new law, or wait until IS?
And will my Social Security cred
its earned while 1 was working
be held for me until then?
Mrs. A. w.
A. They will. AS for your first
question, it all depends. 1. Widows
will get full benefits based on
their husbands credits at g., in
stead of 65. 2. Wives of retired
workers can start drawing at 81
but get 25 per cent less each
month than if they had waited
until 50. How long you live de-
termines which choice is better.
Take twin sisters, 60, both, elig-
ible to draw $3.50 year now, or
$1,000 year if they wait until
65. Amy goes ahead. Bess decides
to wait for her benefits. Three
years from now, Amy has receiv-
ed $2,250, Bess nothing. 1t will
take another nine years-if she
lives that long-for Bess' total
benefits to catch up with Amy's.
Another reason wives will be
tempted to draw early is this: the
average wife outlives her husband
four years. If he dies and she's
over 81, she gets full widows
benefits. 8. Women with their
own Social Security credits can

Why Schlemm's canal becomes
blocked in some persons-usually

One theory is that the blood YES

A more recent theory is that
the coating of the little fibers
found in the canal might change
chemically. This may be the
result of metabolic change in
the body associated with the
aging process.
Oral Drugs Introduced
Treatment for this insidious
open-angle glaucoma is often not
difficult. The patient must take
drops, known as myotics, period

the pressure in the eye. They

There are other types of glau-

because of the nature of these

of glaucoma that gets started
