How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Saving Effects of Safety Belts
BY DR.. PETER J. STElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Last
month my one and only boy OF
IS was sitting next 20 me in
the front seat. To make it short,
an accident involving q sudden
stop shot him through the wind
shield. Our car wasn't badly
damaged, and neither was / be-
cause ! was able to brace against
the steering wheel. But you
should have seen my sons face
after it was all over. Two doc
tors worked over him for about
five hours and had to take about
$50 stitches.
81 blame myself because I
should have know nbetter than to
drive q car without safety belts.
Ny wife had mentioned reading
about them, and ! had poo
poohed the idea as infantile.
Since my boys accident ! have
become convinced that 1t
wouldn't have happened to him
If he had been protected by a
seat belt.
80 you can guess what I have
been doing every day while try
ing to sell cars. I have been
trying to get people to install
these belts. If they say they're
expensive / tell them to figure
the price as II it was a payment
for an insurance premium. Which
1t really is: a health and life
premium.
"And here Is what illustrates
me. Not one person in the dozens
I've talked to has had the belts
installed. Sincerely M. M. c."
Manufacturers must always be
alive to the potential dangers
inherent in the machines they
sell to the public. This is as true
for television sets as 1t is for
autos. It is now well known that
the auto is a powerful vehicle
Of potential destruction Of limb
and life. What do the manu-
facturers do about 10000 killed
yearly and the / million plus in
jured?
I grant that they have i'm
proved their tires, doors. brakes
and dashboards. And many
manufacturers have safety belts
for sale II you wish to have
them installed.
I think M. M. c. has proved
what most OF us know: that
human beings are so constituted
that they must be saved from
themselvesl This being so, the
manufacturers should not leave
the choice to US. Every car
should leave the factory with
built-in safety belts.
And II they won't do 1t. there
ought to be q lawl The Govern
ment gets all excited during hot
wars; 1t should do something
about the cold war Of the auto
mobile (which has killed more
Americans than all the hot wars
put together).
You don't have the choice
where your child's vaccination Is
concerned. Vaccination or no
school! How about mo seat belt
no driving!"
Statistics show that most Of
the injuries and deaths in car
accidents result from sudden
election from the car. People
have been killed even when the
front Of the car hasn't been
damaged too much. Safety bens
will prevent this. II has ben
estimated that the universal use

As sponsor for her sons Boy
Scout troop. a young North Car
DINA mother frequently had the
job Of making up large amounts
Of candy; but the stun WOULDN'T
come out right when made in
volume. So she wrote to q large
commercial candymaker, ex-
planning her problem and asking
for q recipe. She said she would
be glad to pay for the recipe.
The recipe arrived. followed by
10 bill which. instead Of being for
an expected IS or $40. was for
5000. The astonished housewife
took the matter UP with her law
lyer who advised her to pay it.
Bridge Players Finessed
A similar situation, recently
reported from Florida, involved
two men who got into an argu-
Iment over a matter Of game-tech-
nique during q bridge session.
They wrote to q nationally known
bridge expert, outlining the situa-
ton and asking his advice. Sub
sequently the answer came, also
followed by q bill for $50. The
bridge players were as surprised
as the North Carolina woman,
but when they consulted a law
yer they got the same answer.
That liability for payment does
exist In such cases is pretty well
established. The situation is
about the same as when a client
calls on his doctor. dentist, law
yer. architect. ETC.. for service.
Normal business usage authorizes
the rendering Of q bill for serv-
ices and the law imposes q re-
quirement that 1t be paid.

tain length Of time and that is
ample evidence it can be done.
Eunice's statement indicates
that she believes in acting as
she does. Her family has evi-
IDENTITY also given her the green
light to indulge in her red
headed temper. This family just
belongs to that school Of thought
which holds it is better to blow
of steam at any cost than to
suffer inside.
Unfortunately, Ronald does
not belong to this same school
of thought. Most men would
feel as Ronald does-despite the
word Of appreciation from
Eunice's old boy friend.

FAMOUS FABLES
By z. z. EDGAR

INVESTMENT: Coincidence
Fanny Brice had a mead for
business even as Q girl growing
lup in New York. On summer
nights Fanny and her friends
would gather on her tenement
stoop and she would entertain
with songs and comedy routines.
It wasn't long before passersby
began to stop to listen-and ap-
plaud.
After a few weeks 1t occurred
to Fanny that she was wasting
her talents. II people found 1t
that easy to listen to her. why
should she sing for nothing?
Why not 90 to the rear Of the
building. where her songs might
be rewarded with coins tossed
from the windows?
One night. taking along two
friends. with a promise Of q
three-way split. she went to the
rear Of one Of the tenements and
belted out her repertoire at the
top Of her voice. The response
was more enthusiastic then she
had anticipated. They we're
deluged with q shower Of pen
mics.
The three got down on their
hands and knees and dug into
every crevice and corner for the
coins. They counted UP the
loot. which totaled so cents.
Fanny took IS for herself, gave
each Of her partners IS cents.
and put the remaining is cents
into a separate pile.
Hey. what's that pile for?"
demanded one. Il thought this
was gonna be an equal split"
That's for q flashlight, stu
pid." said Fanny. Il heard a lot
more pennies than we picked
up."

LAW IN THE NEWS
Advice Freely Given
Is Often Expensive

Just what happens in these
cases from the standpoint Of
legal theory is not entirely Gear.
Many experts explain the obliga-
ton in terms of implied" or
quasi" contracts. But whatever
the theory. some liability to pay
arises.
Means for Recourse Exists
This does not mean that the
person billed. expectedly or I'M
Iexpectedly. has no legal recourse
III the fee charged seems unreal
Isonably high. He can contest
payment. and often the courts
will refuse to enforce q bill II it
Us too far away from prevailing
rates charged by others for the
same service.
Another aspect Of the matter
involves q situation in which
somebody asks for something he
might reasonably expect to get
free. For example. II the box-top
on a certain brand Of flour sug-
gests that you write for recipes
specially designed to make use
|of that fiour-then you could
certainly argue that thessupplier
had duty to notify you Of any
charges involved should he try
TO bill you for the recipes.
For the most part. though, the
courts eye not disposed to en-
courage the free" receipt Of a
product or service that has value
unless 1t is initially offered that
way. In any case. If you have a
problem Of this kind, see your
lawyer. A slight difference In
facts might make q lot Of differ
ence in law.

SECURITY FOR YOU

Comedian Eddie Cantor ant

Social Security checks las

have asked the Social Security
Offices: How Gomez"
After ALL" they say, ISM
Cantor fairly well of? Didn't HI
get paid $4,000 for a televisior
broadcast in January? Does hi
need Social Security to live on?'
Most of the questions stem
from misunderstanding the
Social Security program.
The misunderstanding is ma
ltural. Social Security has be-
come extremely complex since
it was started in 1897. And, I'M
Iderstanding it then was no push
over.
Eddie and Ida Cantor's eligi-
bility to payments involves two
/ Of the complexities:
/. The purpose Of the social
Security program and.
2. How much a person can
earn and still claim monthly
checks.
Purpose Of Payments
The purpose Of Social Security
Is to provide cash payments to
people who meet certain eligi-
bility requirements. They're
never paid to a person just be-
cause he might need them to live
on.
In general. eligibility to the
payments involves a persons age,
the length Of time he or q close
relative has been covered by the
Social Security program and his
earnings.
Thus, even a millionaire can
collect the payments as long as
he meets the requirements. And,
so can Eddie and Ida Cantor.
The Social Security retirement
age for men is IS. For women It's
81. Eddie was IS in January. Ida
Is "a. Thus. they meet the age
requirement.
I Eddie must have worked under
Social Security for at least az
years for him and Ida to be
eligible for retirement payments.
He's been working under the pro-
eram-and paying Social Secu-
tfty taxes-since 1897. So, he
meets this requirement.
How about the earnings re-
quirement?

neighbors could hear.
Not long ago Eunice got into
a real brawl with another girl.
She said the other girl was max
ing q play for me and that !
ought to feel i1attered because
she Is ready to fight for me like
that. She said one Of her old

i Eligibility Provisions

First Of all, earnings" for
Social Security purposes have a
special meaning. Earnings" are
money received for work and not
money received from invest
ments. interest. pensions, an
nuitieS or similar payments.
Four Earnings Provisions
And. there are four separate
rules covering such earnings"
of a person who has reached
Social Security retirement age:
/. A person may earn $1,000
or less for a full year and re-
ceive IL monthly checks. How
ever, for each $50 or fraction of
$50 beyond 81 200 a person earns,
he loses one monthly check.
2. Even If a person earns more
than $1,000 in a year. he's en-
titled to a check for any month
in which he doesn't earn more
than $50. This is the rule cover
ing Cantor's situation. He earned
more than $50 in January, but
February and March he
didn't earn $50 and is eligible
for payments during those
3. Even II Q person who works
for himself makes more than
81 200 a year. he's eligible for 81
check for any month in which
he didn't perform substantial
services in his trade or business.
4. A person ~ or over has no
limit on his earnings.
These rules are separate from
each other and the social secu-
rity people decide which to ap-
ply in each persons case so that
