SECURITY FOR you
Mother
May Get
Benefits
BY RAY HENRY

From T. w. of New York: I'm
70. I've never worked under
Social Security and my husband
before he died, owned a grocery
but wasn't ever covered by
Social Security. My son died
recently and his wife and chill
drer have been getting Social
Security payments. Is it possible
that I'm eligible for Social
Security because of my sons
record?"
No. But, mothers can qualify
if they're 81 or over and are the
mothers of workers who died
with Social Security coverage to
qualify for survivors payments
and no spouse or child is eligible
Also, the deceased worker must
have been providing at least SO
per cent of the mothers sup
port at the time of his death.
From Mrs. r. p. A. of Min0t,
N. d.: II believe I'm eligible for
survivors payments under the
Railroad Retirement plan. How
long after my husband died do
1 have to apply for payments
and still not lose any of the
payments?"
If you apply within one year
after you become eligible. your
payments will be retroactive to
the date you became eligible.
From J. L. Of Allentown, Pa. :
Not long ago you listed the
requirements for a World War
veteran to be eligible for a
veterans pension. I'm Sc and

do I apply?"

the truth is I've kept house for
her and I'm a little tired of it.
We love our mother. but feel we
are all better off doing different
things.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Mrs. L. M. evidently feels it
lis her personal responsibility to
uphold the order Of the universe
She has not yet discovered that
the order of the universe does not
determine set patterns for human
behavior.
From all accounts nobody in
this adult family is complaining
The mother does not feel de-
serted by her children, and the
grown children do not feel de-
serted by their mother. This
mother says she would enjoy
freedom from responsibility. She
is not morally bound to keep
house for her children" when
they are grown and neither she
nor they desire such setup
Neither are the children morally
bound to stay with their mother
as long as she is as well able to
take care of herself as she ap-
pears to be.
Only Mrs. L. MS rigid idea
of what ought to be is upsetting
this family. This mother EVIL
IDENTIFY has no reason to feel
either guilty or rejected. She
should recognize that she has
evolved a happy, if somewhat UNI
conventional. relationship with
her children and should reject

THE DETAILS

Mrs. L. M am very much
upset about my sister, who is a
widow in her COS. Mathilda has
three very ungrateful grown
lchildren-two girls and a boy
They are unmarried. yet they
have left her all alone.
The youngest, my nephew, was
in the service when his father
died. He came home. stayed a
few weeks, and then went
to another city to college
although he could have gone to
Ia college near home. Then one
of his sisters took a job over
seas and plans to stay two
years. Now the other girl,
Loretta. says she wants to have
her own apartment with a
friend.
My sister talks blithely about
going to live in a hotel. She
says she wants to take courses
and be free woman" She
also has full time job. tell
her all this is nonsense. Her
business is to stay home and
keep house for her children. and
as long as they are unmarried,
their place is with her.
Mrs. NJ. d. am really very
confused. / want to do what is
right. but my children are adults
and I feel they have a right to
do as they please. / don't want
to hold them back.
The fact Is that I like the feel
ing of having no responsibility
about a home. I would enjoy
living in hotel or boarding out.
My children write to me regu-
larly and I feel / can count on
them If ! need them.
Loretta D.-My mother has
listened to my aunt all her life
and hardly knows her own mind
any more. My aunt has made my
mother feel both guilty about
leaving us and rejected by us.

An Adequate Heart Examination

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Just
what is a good heart examina-

dilemma. We read about the
wisdom of going to doctor fol-
a heart checkup before we get
sick, So we 90 to a doctor. What
Id like to know is this: what is

For your benefit. and that Of
other readers of this column, let
me give you a sketchy picture
OF what most cardiologists con-
slider as being the necessary pro-
cedures.
I believe that a routine cardic
checkup should take at least an
hour. Often l have spent an
hour and a half during the first
examination Of a patient. When
a patient comes for a heart ex-
animation that is not all he gets.
The doctor is also interested in
the patients kidneys, liver, eyes.
arteries and other organs. He is
also concerned with your fears
and phobias. And he must ferret
out any symptoms that you may
have. Often a patient has what
he considers unimportant indi-
gestion: yet this may be an i'm
portant clue in diagnosis.
For these reasons the doctor
must give you time to voice all
d your innermost thoughts and
feelings. Following that, the
doctor then proceeds to examine
and croSS-examine" you. He asks
you questions about your an
cestors and your immediate
