the last half of the month. The
typical Social Security office is
very busy at the beginning of each
week, particularly early in the
month.
To avoid the risk of loss of
benefits, people should get in touch
with Social Security on at least 5
occasions: when a wage earner
dies, when somebody becomes
disabled, a few months before
retiring or reaching age 62, to
obtain a Social Security card, or to
ask questions concerning Social
Security, Supplemental Security
Income or Medicare. While some
individuals may prefer to conduct
their business in person, we sug-
gest they at least phone ahead of
time to find out what proofs,
documents or information may be
needed, said Trevino.
People who are already entitled
to or receiving Social Securiy or
Supplemental Security Income
benefits have an obligation to
report certain events which could
affect hem
Some of these events are: an
increase or decrease in the
estimate of earnings given to us, to
report a change of address, to
report a loss, stolen, or non-receipt
of check, report a death or
marriage of a beneficiary, etc. All
of these events can and should be
reported by phoning the Social
Security, office instead of going in
person. Any document that re-
quires a signature can be mailed to
the individual.
The number to call in McAllen is
686-3757. All of the telephone
interviewers are bilingual so we'll
be glad to discuss your questions in
whichever language you prefer,
said Trevino.

New Rosita Church
A Beautiful Reality
by LYDIA G. SAENZ
La Rosita, Texas residents were
very proud Sunday July 6th, 1986,
as they opened the doors of their
beautiful new Catholic church
"Santa Rosa de Lima".
It took a whole lot of community
involvement and effort to get this
worthy project going; it took about
1/2 year of construction to com-
plete it.
The celebration started at 5:30
p.m. with Bishop of Brownsville
John J. Fritzpatrick giving the
special blessing for the event The
Roma Knights of Columbus in their
grand regalia, the authentic Mex-
ican Mariachi band. Father Fran-
cisco Castillo, priests and deacons
of the surrounding communities
together with the congregation
welcomed Bishop Fritzpatrick. A
local Radio Station transmitted the
masss which reached many homes
of the vicinity.
After the mass celebration, a
warm reception was given to the
guests and people. It consisted of
champagne, delicious carne asada
& guisada, salads, and de-
ssert.Mariachi music entertained
throughout the evening and all the
people rejoyced and danced to their
fullest content as this reality came
to be.

Butterflies In
Beautiful And
The butterfly has a brilliant Hash
of yellow, orange or blue as it flutters
about the garden, For the outdoor gar-
dener. this spectacle is a fascinating
amusement. The butterfly leaves be
hind eggs that develop into hungry lar-
vae which become pests in the vege-
table garden and sometimes in the
flower garden
Adult butterflies generally provide
benefits by transmitting pollen as they
travel from flower to flower, sucking
nectar But the larvae of some types
of butterflies can do damage
Often what appears to be a butterfly
actually is a moth Most moths are
relatively dull colored and prefer to
fly at night, but some are as colorful
as any butterfly and visit flowers by
day. Butterflies differ from moths in
that they fold their wings straight up
over their bodies, while moths rest
with their wings spread flat
Most of what you will see in the
garden arc the bright moths. What can
he di "e to deter these moths Iron,
hariiimj; your garden? They are so
highly mobile, there is not much you
can do to stop them from lay ing eggs
on the plants All you can do is keep
a close watch on your garden.
Some registered insecticides to use
are earbaryl. commonly known .is
Se\!i, or malathion. an organic ; !
phui ■ .secticide with low toxicity
plants and animals. Baccilu s
f/tur/i.;c7ic's/s is also a good conlro' ,oi
butterflies and is cleared for more
crops than Sevin
The Garden,
Burdensome
The type of insecticide used should
take into account the type of crop
being sprayed and the timing of the
harvest. If there are not too many cater
pillars in the garden you can try and
pick them off by hand Some garden-
ers then dispose of them by dousing
them with gasoline, drowning or
squashing
II you do not have time to handpick
the insects yourself, find a young
bounty hunter" to do the work for
you at a small fee per insect.
Some gardeners believe that herbs
planted sparingly in a garden can deter
some pests, although this has not been
proven Sage, rosemary, hyssop,
thyme, mint, wormwood and south
e' ' wood are believed hy some to deter
■ he cabbage worm.

AVOIDING
HOSPITALS
NEW YORK —There is a new
movement in medical treatment that
could keep you out of the hospital and
save you money if you become ill.
Alternative health-care facilities
diagnostic centers, ambulatory
surg(/ A Pointers and walk-in emergen-
cy centers — are taking over many of
the medical tasks that once required a
hospital stay.
Is the care any good? Sometimes, it's
even better, says Family Circle
magazine. A well run diagnostic center
provides an efficient, low-stress en-
vironment in which to have tests done.
It's less costly than hospitalization and
is usually covered by medical
insurance.
Some are equipped to run
sophisticated CAT scans, ultra-sound
and other comp ex tests.
