QEI have suffered from arthritis
about a year / have able to
work only three or four days a
week. l am only so years
years old. Am I eligible for dis
ability benefits?
A-Probably not. To be eligible for
disability benefits you must be
unable to engage in any sub
stantial gainful work. Regu-
lar part-time work would gen.
orally be considered substan-
tial gainful work.
Q-My husband is 4S years old
About one year ago hewas in
jured in a hunting accident.
The dostor said he will never
be able to return to work. I'm
til the accident he was employ
ed for ten years as a cOnstruc-
tiOn worker. We have three
children, age 6, 8, and 10. Are
we eligible for social security
benefits?
A-No. However, your husband may
qualify for the disability fee
ze, which will protect his bene-
fit rights. If he is still under a
disability at age so, then he
will be eligible to draw dis
ability benefits; also you and
the children.
Q-I worked under social security
from 1886 until April, 1850, at
which time I became unable to
work L was so years old last
week. My friends tell me can
not receive social security
payments, as I did not file a
claim before July, 1868. Is this
correct?
A-No. Under the recent amend
ments to the social security
law, a person may establish a
disability as far back as Oc-
tober, 1941. You should contact
your social security office as
soon as possible.

Designer ShOlUs Three
Faces Of Fashion
By DOROTHY ROE
sSOciated Press WOmen's Editor


Fashion has three faces this
fall. says designer Adele Simpson.
Previewing her new collection,
the petite but supercharged Mrs.
Simpson says women should have
many moods, with clothes to
match.
This fall women will want to
be tailored by day." she says.
Simplicity and neatness are the
watchwOrds. Suits are stripped OF
non-essentials, with small lapels
and trim shoulders, with easy fit
and simple lines.
women also will like the
'swagger' look for evening. This is
vastly different from the long
abused casual look. It's new
rakish, daring air that expresses
itself by wearing the most lux
urious fabrics cut on the simplest
lines-like a gold brocade trench
coat and shirtwaist dress.
Women also want to look
precious at all times-nOk' darling
or pretty" but valuable and cher
ished. This is new refinement in
the art of wearing graceful, beau
tiful clothes with dignity and the
pride of possession.
"These are the three faces of
fashion for the coming season."
Mrs Simpson shows simply cut
suits with longer jackets and a
great deal of fur trimming. I'm
trimmed suits and dresses are
worn with fur hats.

dressed for any occasion, when she
leaves nothing to chance"

disabled since birth, is 29.
Does the disability program
under the Social Security Act
provide any help for people in
our circumstances?
Yes, when a fully insured work
er dies survived by a child
who is too disabled to work
and who has been disabled
since before he was Is years
old, that child can draw disa-
bility benefits on his fathers
social security account. His
mother may also draw monthly
benefits if she has the child in
her care. even though she has
not reached the retirement age.
You should make inquiry at
social security office on be-
half of yourself and your son
at the earliest convenience.
4 am 55 years old and had
severe heart attack in Novem-
ber, 1858. / inquired at the So
cial security office then and
was told no payment could be
made because of disability. l
recently heard the law has
been changed to provide disa-
bility payments. Is this correct?
Yes. If your disability is severe
enough to render you unable
to do any substantial gainful
work and you have worked as
much as five years out of the
ten. years period ending No
vember 1853, you may be eligi-
BILE for disability benefits. AL
so, if you are eligible for pay
ments and have children under
age 18, the children and your
wife may also receive benefits.
I was recently injured in an
accident, My doctor tells me l
will be unable to work for a
year. Am I eligible for disabi-
ity benefits?
No. The disability must be of
permanent or indefinite dura-
tion. If your doctor is reason
ably sure you will recover suf-
ficiently to return to work
within year, you will not be
eligible. However, if you fail
to respond to treatment and the
doctor is unable to predict re-
covery, you should contact the
social security office.

Fire Marshal Favinger
Cites Fire Hazards

State Fire Marshal William r.
Favinger this week called attention
TO the numerous occupied and nom
occupied buildings throughout the
state that by their condition con-
stitute serious fire hazards and ad-
vised that steps be taken to cor
rect or eliminate these hazards.
Mr.. Favinger, in a statement is
sued at Dover, pointed out that
"even though municipalities have
the authority to create ordinances
to eliminate fire and health haz-
ards, only a few have such measur-
es in effect"
The state fire marhsal also point
ed out that his office, the State
Fire Prevention Commission and
the Attorney General may Sin the
interest of public safety, take the
necessary action to bring about
correction of conditions creating
fire hazards" Authority for such
action, according to Mr.. Favinger,
is included in the Delaware Code
under Chapter Sc, Title 16, Section,

Safety Council News

Darkness hides danger" Fran
els J. Jamison, assistant manager
of the Delaware Safety Council, de-
clared yesterday in a warning to
motor vehicle operators emphasize
ing the need to use extra caution in
nighttime driving and walking.
1.-THE hours of twilight and dark
bring danger on our roads and
highways, not only to motorists
but also to pedestrians" he said.
Pointing out that the Safety
Council estimates that the mileage
death rate in an average year is
three times as great at night as in
the daylight hours, Mr.. Jamison
said that more than half of the
traffic deaths in the nation occur at
night.
1.-THE hours particularly fatal are
from 5 p. m. to s p. M, when people
are rushing homeward from work
often tired, fretful, and impatient
and then out again later for some
appointment at which they always
seem to be late" he said.
Mr.. Jamison said there are sew
eral right answers to the question
of night traffic hazards, and all of
them simple but effective.
zone of the answers is good
walking habits, an alertness and
caution in crossing the street." he
said. Another one is good driving
driving carefully to offset
the poor vision brought on by twi-
light and darkness and keeping a
sharp lookout for pedestrians and
children on bikes as well as for
other cars"
Mr.. Jamison particularly stress
ed the fact that night traffic haz-
ards also claim their share of
young bike riders, who fail to equip
their bikes with good headlights,
and tail lights or reflectors, and to
make them more visible to motor
lists by trimming them with white
or reflectorized material.
II think the best way to sum up
the message of what our local pro-
gram in traffic safety is doing is
to stress the rule which should be
the creed of every motorist, BE
Your Brothers Keeper" Mr.. jam
isOn concluded.

City Council News


At a meeting of Milford City
Council this week, George Adams,
chairman of the Utility commit
tee of Council successfully sought

600 entirely for Labor, Henkel and
Mccoy figured $298.32 per day for
period Of eight to twelve weeks

have to be unlocked and hooked up
again, for three wires instead of
the two present wires. There will
be four complete circuits. Mr..

suit in better voltage, with twice
the load.

ploy of the City. All material is
