surance card. How can I get a
duplicate?
A. Get tn touch with your social
security office, furnish identifying
information, and we witi Eft a
duplicate card for you. All health
Insurance beneficiaries arc urged
to keep their card in a safe place,
and to tell a member of the family
where the card is kept so it wili
be readily available to show the
doctor or the hospital when health
carelsnceded.
Q.I have been told that a
worker can now receive benefits
at age 60. Is this correct?
A. No, a worker must be at least
62 years of age in order to re-
ceive retirement benefits. A re-
cent change in the law does per-

at age CO if the widow elects to
receive a reduced benefit on her
deceased husband's account.
Q. Will the medical insurance
program help pay for the cost of
the wheel chairs, crutches, and
similar items that a person may
need?
A. The medical insurance pro-
gram will help pay for the rental
of wheei chairs, crutches, and
other durable medical equipment
for use of the patient in his home.
White the program does not pay
fur the purchase of such equip-
ment, it will help pay for the
tost of repairs to the equipment

Q. 1 requested an accounting of
my earnings under social security.
The statement sent to me from
Baitimore apparently does not
show the social security credit
granted to me for military service.
How can I have this omission
corrected?
A. If you were in the military
service between September 15,
1MW. and January 1, 1957, the so-
cial security credits you received
for military service are not actual-
ly listed on your record. However,
you will be requested to furnish
your discharge paper or other
proof of military service when

you or your survivors apply for
benefits.
Q. I lost alt of my crop and it
appears that my total farm opera-
tion for the year will show a loss.
I have not been receiving my
benefits because I had expected a
good year. Do I have to wait until
the end of the year or is there
some way I can receive some
benefits now?
A. We have been withholding
your monthly benefits because of
your estimate of high earnings in
1966. It is possible to revise your
estimate at any time during the
year. If your new estimate is less
than $1500 for the year, we can
resume your benefits now, ef-
fective with the month of January,
1966.
Q. My husband and I both are
signed up for medicare. Can we
combine our medical expenses to
meet the $50 deductible?
A. No, eath individual must
incur $50 or medical expenses be-
fore medicare will pay the 80%
over the $50 deductible. For a full
explanation of How to figure the
$50 deductible see page 21 of your
medicare handbook.

"ALL FOR MOTHER'
Feeling death near, a man took
a sheet of paper and scrawied
three words:
"All for mother."
Nodoubt, in hisown mind, this
phrase covered everything—ctear-
iy and concisely. But there was
one catch. The "mother" he meant
was not his own mother at ail,
but his wife—the mother of his
children.
The mixup was finaiiy straight-
ened out in court proceedings after
the man's death. But the case
illustrates how mercurial is
meaning—how risky it is for a
person to dash off a "simple,"
do-it-yourself wiil in serene confi-
dence that, after he is gone, his
words will be ciear to everybody.
Of course, the law's main goal
is to carry out the intentions of
the deceased. But just what were
his intentions? With alarming fre-
quency, bickering relatives can
read the same words and come up
with different meanings.
Consider a few "simple" expres-
sions that have led to courtroom
battles:
"money"—Does this include
funds in a bank account? (One
court said yes, it is a checking
account; another court said no, if
it is a savings account.)
"furniture"—Docs this inciude
everything useful in the house?
(One court said it inciuded linens;
another court said it did not in-
clude books.)
"househoid effects"—Does this
include more than furniture?
Less? (One court said a stamp
collection was covered; another
court said jewelry and clothing
Were not.)
"contents"—does this include
everything physicaily within? (A
court held that the "contents" of
a house included the steel safe in
the basement but not the stocks
and bonds inside the safe.)
In each of these cases the court
had to examine the surrounding
circumstances, not just the bare
words of the will, to clear up the
ambiguity.
This procedure is not easy and
not quick. It may breed bitterness
in the famiiy , cause legal compli-
cations, and—to everyone's cha-
grin, delay the distribution of the
estate. AH too often, wills com-
posed in haste must be litigated
at leisure.

News From Your

Recent light frosts have nipped
some of the more tender piants.
This can servo as a warning of
more to come and aiert us to
danger, where Johnsongrass, Su-
dan, sorghums, and sorghum
crosses arc in our pastures. When
frost stops growth in these piants,
they often deveiop prussic acid
which is poisonous to livestock.
The poison acts quickly and can
kill an animal shortly after being
eaten by the animal.
Frosted Johnsongrass or sor-
ghum should not be grazed until
the damaged plants are as dry as
good quality hay or for at least
a week after the frost. If it is
ready to cut for hay before the
frost, it may be cut immediately
provided adequate curing time is
allowed.
Young plants or second growth
suckers are more likely to cause
troubie than older plants nearing
maturity. Too, the more iuxuriant
the growth, the more likely the
plants will be dangerous if thoir
growth is interrupted.

The F-l Heifer Sale at Tyler last
week turned out to be a very fine
affair. The East Texas Farm and
Ranch Club is to be commended
for the fine job they did in carry-
ing out the sale.
Cherokee County Cattlemen also
contributed to the success of the
saie through several purchases.
Morris Dixon of Rusk picked up
two Brahman X Jersey Cows. T. L.
Cary of Recce carried home a
fine bunch of about 20 head of
Angus XCharlais yearling heifers
consigned by Walker Wilson of
