I'm taking care Of my l7-year-
old daughter. Because ! will not

I'll lose my Social Security pay
ments when my daughter
reaches 49,. Now, my daughter
has gone to work and is making
5000 month. So she's ineligible
to draw monthly payments. Does
this affect my payments?"
No.
From r. b. Of Fredericksburg,
Va: MY father. a World War I
veteran. has been drawing a
veterans pension Of $78.75 q
month for nearly two years now.
A month ago he had a stroke
which has made him bedfast. Is
there any possibility that his
pension can be raised? It's cost
ing us a lot of money to take

Mass: my husand and / have

band has retired. we're wonder
ing II this life savings will inter-

No. Earnings from work are

under ~ and who are eligible
for Social Security payments.
However, savings, annuities, PEN

From Mrs. c. p. C. Of Harri-
man, Tenn: 1--WE worked and

1887. Now, I'm drawing Social
Security payments. II I should
remarry, will this marriage have
any effect on my payments?"
No. AS long as you're drawing
the payments based on your own
Social Security record, remar-
riage will not affect your pay
ments. However, for widows who

it looks as though our marriage

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Some individuals find great
pleasure in the knowledge that
their sexual affairs are Illicit.
When this childish pleasure in
rebellion for its own sake is
taken away. they find them
selves with nothing. The emo
tional thrill was all in the Sec
recy and defiance, perhaps In
spiting another person.
This is what has happened to
Cora and Floyd. In six years of
intimacy they didn't bother to
learn much about one another.
Apparently. they never even dis
cussed the question Of raising q
family. Each was occupied with
purely egotistic satisfactions.

tional benefit Of being safe from

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Skipping Heart Won't Kill You
By Or. PETER }. sTElNcRoHN

mated that there are many mil
lions Of people in the United
States who suffer from imaginary
heart trouble as distinct from
those who have real heart dis
ease. And l have said that al
though they have normal hearts
they may actually suffer tor
tures-mental. at least-as great
as those who have organic heart
disease. I think you will agree
that today's letter underlines
that belief.
Mrs. X, I must first assume
that your. doctors are correct in
their diagnosis: all examinations
and tests indicate that you have
a normal heart. If it were alb
normal, ! am sure they would
not withhold the information.
And I know of nothing that
will throw people as easily into
a pandemonium Of apprehension
as heart skips. Mrs. X, 1 have
had them occasionally; and even
though I know what they are
they brighten me. But only for a
moment. Because ! know that
heart skips and heart flops'i
never killed anybody; never
shortened anybody's life.
Like a healthy colt that be-
comes skittish, the healthy heart
cantor days or months--be-
come hyper-irritable. When this
happens your heart beats may
originate (for a few secondsJ in
various parts of the heart
muscle.
The medical name for these
skipped beats is premature con-
fractions. They are also called
extrasystoles. The mechanism OF
the skipped beat is such that the
heart seems to lose Q beat and
then is followed by a stronger
beat than normal. This makes
you aware Of your heart beat
This causes the "flips and the
flops." This throws the fear into
you.

Has your heart ever skipped

will understand the anguish

following letter.

need any help and encourage
ment I can get. Now and then
I have terrifying sensations In
my chest. I'm not sure if they
come from my heart or lungs.
However. think they come
from the heart. l can't really
describe the feeling. There is
no pain but it feels as If my
heart flops or maybe skips a
beat. At the time it seems as if
the air ! breathe is escaping out
somewhere.
Sometimes this sensation
lasts only for one beat but more
often for many beats. When it
does happen actually think the
end has come. I'm sure TIA
going to die right then and
there.
I've been examined by two
internal medical men; I've been
examined by my obstetrician
: who delivered my two babies;
I've had an electrocardiogram
and I've even been under the
care Of a psychiatrist because OF
this awful fear when my heart
skips.
Each doctor has said my heart
is fine except for a functional
murmur which they say means
nothing. The electrocardiogram
they say. showed I have a strong
heart muscle.
But still continue to have
} these sensations. I get so terri
fed that I walk the floor and
cry. Doctor, something is hap

He was also given a memory SO
that he could store the things

SO that he could impart his

him what Is right and what Is
wrong.
Still, he doubts God. A bril-

can a man be expected to believe

starve. This is not true of any
other animal. At that age, and
far less, the lower animals will
forage. Most species will not
fight their own kind unless il
is over a female or food. Man
will fight himself and will MAIN
