Venezuela Topic Of
Round Table
Mrs. Arturo Trevino Jr. presented an
interesting and informative resume of
Venezuela during the last meeting of the
Pan American Round Table Mar. 24 at the
Brass Bull. She stated that the first
European who set foot in Venezuela was
Columbus in 1498, and named it Venezuela
or "Little Venice" because the natives' huts
were on stilts.
Mrs. Trevino brought out many in-
teresting facts about this country from the
time of Spanish domination, during their
attempt to break away from Spanish rule,
through a succession or colonial oligarchy to
the present system which has been run on a
centralized basis, with power increasingly
concentrated in Caracas, the capitol.
Currently, Venezuela is the fifth largest
producer of oil in the world. The govern-
ment receives better than 3 million dollars
every day of the year from oil revenues.
The need for more and better schooling is
ever in the minds of government leaders,
according to Mrs. Trevino.
What lies ahead for Venezuela0 Mrs.
Trevino stated that with its oil riches,
Venezuela still remains a primary target for
violent take-over by Fidel Castro and his
communist allies. She summed up by
saying that Venezuela has an impressive
rc?ord of social progress under the Alliance
for Progress, especially in the fields of
housing and education.
"Venezuela's agrarian reform program is
the best in the hemisphere. TTie land is
blessed with tremendous resources—the
people with diverse cultures will rise to
meet their problems," she concluded.
Mrs. R.R. Guerra Sr., Director, presided
during the business meeting. Mrs. Wm.T.
Guerra, secretary, read the minutes and
called roll. Mrs. Roger Williams,
corresponding secretary, reported.
Two seniors from the Rio Grande City
High School were student guests. They were
Ricardo Saenz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ruben
Saenz, and Brenda Alaniz, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Roberto Alaniz. They were in-
troduced by Mrs. Alfredo Laurel.
Other guests included Mrs. Ruben Saenz
and Mrs. Roberto Alaniz.
Secondhand Smoke Hurts
Research with both healthy adults and
children shows that the lung function of
nonsmokers is affected by others' tobacco
smoke.
Two carefully controlled, major studies -
one on children whose parents smoked at
home, the other on nonsmokers exposed to
smokers at work - have demonstrated that
the small airways in the lungs of non-
smokers are affected adversely by tobacco
smoke in the environment.
According to the American Lung
Association of Texas it is possible, though
not proven, that the changes which occur in
nonsmokers exposed to a smoky en-
vironment for long periods may improve
when the smoke is removed. However, it is
also possible that the changes may lead to
further lung disease. More research is
required. What is clear is that lungs do not
function normally when forced to breathe
smoky air.
During the last few years, says the Lung
Association, ways have been pinpointed to
determine changes in the small airways.
What is significant is the rate at which the
person forcibly exhales. Inhaling air is not
usually a problem, not even for those with
advanced lung disease. But to exhale ef-
ficiently, the lungs must be healthy and
elastic.
After the person forcibly inhales a deep
breath, an instrument called a spirometer
measures exactly how fast and how much
air is forcibly expelled. Disturbances in the
smallest airways are measured at precise
points during the exhalation - during the
middle half, for example, and at one later
point in the exhalation.

It's a matter of life and breath.
Research says women who have com-
panionship during childbirth often ex-
perience faster, easier deliveries, reports
Dorthy Taylor, a family life education
specialist on the home economics staff of the
Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The
Texas A&M University System.
In addition these women tend to show
more affection toward their newborns.
Mothers or sisters make better childbirth
companions than nerv ous husbands, studies
show.

MCALLEN—People getting social
security checks will be able to earn more in
1981 than in 1980 before any of their social
security benefits are withheld, Jose J.
Trevino social security distrct manager in
McAllen, said recently.
In 1981, a person under 65 for all of the
year can earn $4,080 before any checks are
held back. This annual exempt amount was
$3,720 for 1980. The annual exempt amount
for people 65 or older in 1981 is $5,500, up
from $5,000 for 1980.
If a person's earnings exceed the annual
exempt amount, $1 in benefits is withheld
for each $2 of earnings above the exempt
amount.
Trevino said people should notify Social
Security as soon as they think their annual

earnings might exceed the exempt amount.
This way they can avoid receiving any in-
correct payments that might have to be
repaid.
The 1981 monthly limit is $458 for people 65
or over and $340 for people under 65.
There is a special rule that applies to the
year in which a person retires. In the year
of retirement, people can receive checks for
any month their earnings do not exceed the
monthly limit even though total annual
earnings are well above the annual exempt
amount.
People who want more information about
the annual earnings test can ask at the
McAllen Social Security office, located at
320 N. Main.
