Where We Stand

The United States own space
program at present calls for a
sub-orbital launching Of an as
tronaut into space within the next
month. Not until 1862, however,
does the schedule provide for an
orbital flight similar to that sue
cessfully completed by Maj. Ga
garin.
Mr.. Khrushchev, glowing with
pleasure, hailed the first Soviet
astronaut as a man whose name
will live forever" and gave him a
title: pilot Astronaut of the
USSR." He waxed eloquent in
praise Of the Soviet technology,
"the genius Of our country" that
made the space flight possible . E.

Gen. de Gaulle was especially

The new amendments to the

President Kennedy last week,
included the following changes
according to Albert p. Mason,
District Manager of the Wilm-
ington, N. c., office.

benefits before reaching age
s., they will receive a reduc-
ed amount and their benefit
will remain reduced when they
reach age IS.
The length Of time person
needs to have worked to be-
come entitled to benefits has
been reduced. Under the new
ilaw. a man reaching age IS or
| a woman 81 this year will need
social security credit for only
I2R years Of work instead OF
1.-THE present requirement OF
1914 years. Any person who has
worked for at least 21z years

again.
The benefits payable to ag-
ed widows, dependent widow
ers and the dependent parents
Will be increased by about 10
per cent. Those entitled to
these increases do not need
to get in touch with their soci-
al security office. This increase
is automatic and will be added
to the checks they will receive
early in September, 1861.
Under the old law. the low
est monthly benefit was S33.
The 1861 amendments raised
this amount to $40. There are
approximately 2,l75,OOO per-
sons who now receive benefits
below $40. These people will
have their payments increased
to $40, beginning with the
checks to be received early in
September 1861. This change
will be made automatically
and there is no need for bene-
ficiaries to apply for this in
crease.
Another change was in the
so-called retirement test"
This change will directly or
indirectly affect everybody I'M
der II receiving old age or
survivors insurance benefits.
Under the old law, a person
could earn $1,000 a year and
receive all of his monthly soci-
al security benefits. One dol
lar in benefits was withheld
for each So he earned between
$1,000 and. $500. Under the
new law, one dollar is with
held for each So between $1,000
and S1700, and one dollar for
each $l.00 earned over $780,
90.
According to Mr.. Mason
these changes will take effect
beginning with August 1861.
Persons who believe they may
be affected by these changes
should get in touch with their
nearest social security office
for further information.

And then the other worries started: How much

Should my wife stay at the hospital with Vicki?
What hospital should we ask the surgeon to use?
To answer the last question first, the decision
was Children's Hospital, an institution devoted

or less at your convenience, or you can wait 1t

surgery"
We decided to have the operation done as soon
as possible. Vick was examined by the surgeon, and
he agreed She was admitted that Friday afternoon.
Mother and daughter were taken to their third
floor room. There were checks by the intern and
the resident, and laboratory tests. Surgery was
scheduled for $50 am. the next day.
But then things began happening. virus

she began developing fever By pm, her tenn

clan were summoned. The decision was mo surgery

And so the next morning Vicki was taken home,
hot and feverish, and watched closely to see that
the hernia didn't Strangulate.
The fever vanished and the operation was re-
scheduled for 10 days later But the fever returned
two days before the date set. "A classic case OF
