BY a Staff Reporter

The pitter patter of seven
pairs of feet in the tiny home
has a syncopated beat: two
of the children have to hop
around on twisted feet.
The boy, two, is not so bad of
as his three-year-old sister. AL
though his feet are turned in
more, his disability is such that
he qualities for orthopedic aid
through the county's Health De,
partment. His feet are showing
improvement.
But his sister, with slightly
less of disability, does not quite
qualify for this aid, so she's grow
ing up with acutely 'pigeon-toed'
feet.
This is only one of the
problems faced this Christ
mas by the family. Until last
week, they couldn't even
have dreamed of toys for the
children, much less a Christ
mas dinner.
The fathers ulcers - he's only
81 = keep him from behind the
wheel of a truck as often as not,
so there isn't any money for any
thing but barest essentials.
Their four-room frame house
has electricity but no central heat.
And the mother is still not en-
tirely well from complications
that arose during the birth of
Montgomery County sentinel., 1958-12-18

her seventh child, a girl, five
months ago.
This is only one of hundreds
of families this Christmas who
will benefit from the efforts OF
the Christmas Bureau, a group of
volunteers who put into practice
the truism, Its better to give
than to receive"
They work under the auspices
of the Health and Welfare Coun-
ciPs Montgomery Regional Office.
They are headed this year by
DR.. Lee H. Carter, a chiropractor
of us West Montgomery ave-,
Rockville.
The purpose of the Christ
mas Bureau is to collect and
distribute food, clothing and
toys to needy county fami-
lies. They helped 625 needy
families last year.
A Public Health Department
Nurse this year certified the fam
lily to the Christmas Bureau. In
addition to qualifying them for
food and toys, she added a note
to her report: TRY to find $40
for a pair of orthopedic shoes for
the little girl"
Needy families will call at the
Health and Welfare Council of

If the parent is not living. the child
must have been receiving oue-half
of his support from the deceased
wage Garner during the year prior
to the parents death.
Question
Is there any fixed amount OF con-
tributions that must be established
in order to meet the one-half sup
port requirement.
Answer
No. there isn't. If there were reg
ular contributions made to the
child at any time during the year.
contact our representative SO that
we can advise you about the poss-
Utility of establishing the support
requirement.
Question
Then as / understand it, l should
contact the nearest social security
office as soon as / possibly can, or
I'm liable to lose some benefits?
Answer
That's right If you think that
your child will meet the require
ments l explained earlier, then by
all means contact your social Sc
curity office Immediately To post
pone your visit may cost you one
or more months payments.
Milford chronicle., 1958-12-19

Question
What do the letters +. /. c. A.
that appear on my Wa Statement
OF Earnings each year stand for?
Answer
They stand tor Federal Insur-
ance Contributions act, which is
the authority under which the In
ternaI Revenue Service collects the
required social security contribu-
tions from covered employers and
employees.
I have a 20-year -old son who has
been disabled since childhood.
Would it be all right for me to wait
few months before contracting
our social security representative
about possible payments for him? ?
Answer
Don't watt IL you don't contact
your social security representative
during this month, il is almost GER
tain that you will lose some bene-
fit payments.
Question
Why would | lose benefits?
Answer
Because January of 1857 was the
first month for which payments
could be made for a disabled child.
Since an application for benefits
cannot be retroactive for more than
one year, a claim filed after Janu-
airy of 1858 would permit payment
no earlier than the same month for
the year before. So you see, If you
wait until August of 1858 to file,
you couldn't be paid for any month
before August of 1857.
Question
Can you give me a short sum-
mary Of the requirements which
must be met before can get these
payments?
Answer
Yes. Briefly. to receive monthly
benefits as disabled child, the son
or daughter must: ~ have been
disabled before reaching IS, (2)
meet the definition of a disabled
person as outlined in the social
security law and, (3) be unmarried
and dependent on a parent, step
parent, or adopting parent who is
receiving social security old age
benefits or have been dependent
on parent who died after 1889 and
who worked long enough under So
cial security to allow payment to
the survivors.
Question
What do you mean by depend
ent" on parent?
Answer
There are two tests that we use
in determining dependency of the
child. First, Ii the child was re-
ceiving chi1d's benefit for month
before he reached IS (or if he
could have been receiving benefits
by filing an application) the child
is considered dependent upon the
parent. If the child was not, nor
could not have received benefit
for month before he was Is, then
you must show that he was receiv-
ing at least one-half of his sup
port from the parent.
Question
Well, during what period must
he have been receiving at least one
half support?
Answer
Generally, the child must have
received one-half support during
the IL months before the app1ica-
ton is filed if the parent is alive.

State Spends Million
Above Nov. Income
New Note To Meet Deficit Carries
1.75 Per Cent Interest

Delaware sank a little deeper
into the red last month, spending
about $4,000 more than it col
lected in revenue.
Figures made public this week
at Dover set November's spending
total at $685., 1863, revenue total
of s4.2ee,S24.
The revenue represented a big
increase over the $2,60O,O0O for
November, 1957-but not enough
to ward off the need for additional
short-term borrowing.
The state took out a new note
for $1,000,O0O to meet the months
deficit. Due June 80, 1859, it carries
an interest rate of Its per cent.
Short-term borrowings so far this
fiscal year have totaled $500, 900.
Meanwhile, Gov. j. Caleb Boggs
said he hasn't made up his mind
whether to send a balanced or un-
balanced budget to the General As
sembly when it convenes next
month.
The State Budget Commission
announced some time ago that state
spending agencies have asked for
about $40,000,000 more in the next
two years than they received for
the current biennium.
Anticipated revenues during the
1960-61 biennium remain under
wraps, but aren't expected to come
close to providing the cash needed
for such an increase. Thus a bal
anced budget, should the Governor
elect to present one, would entail
either sharp cuts. in the spending
requests or sharp increases in
revenue-raising devices.
A good indication of what the
Governor will recommend was
recently by State Senator
elect James H. Snowden (R-Wil-
who will be minority
leader in the new State Senate.
He said he hopes the Governor
will settle on a balanced budget
and one that stays within revenues
from, existing sources.
