1988 is $678. The exact amount of
your benefit would depend on your
age and past earnings. Your wife or
husband and children also may
receive payments if you’re dis-
abled.
Your family could collect month-
ly survivors benefits if you should
die. The average survivors benefit
for a family of three or more in 1988
is $1,222.
At retirement, Social Security
will provide a steady monthly in-
come to you and your family. You
can start receiving retirement
benefits as early as age 62.
In the years ahead, Social
Security benefits will continue to
rise. Once you start receiving Social
Security, the amount of your
monthly benefit will increase each
year with the cost of living.
If you want more information
about benefits available from So-
cial Security, call the Port Arthur
Social Security office at 724-4308.
- If you’re like most people, you
probably think of Social Security as
something you will receive when
you retire. But, Social Security is
much more than a retirement
r. program.
It’s a package of protection-
I retirement, survivors, and disability
I insurance. It protects you and your
| family while you work and after you
[ retire. Social Security doesn’t
| replace all earnings lost because of
ft retirement, disability or death. But
F" it’s a base you can build on, now and
t in the future, with other insurance
[ and investments.
■ Your deduction also pays for
Medicare hospital insurance,
which pays some of the costs of
hospital care for people 65 or older
'-and certain disabled people.
If you become severely disabled
, and cannot work for a year or more,
■ you can receive disability benefits.

1982 (Nov. 16) — The Space
Shuttle Columbia completed its first
mission
1970 (Nov. 14) — A Southern

area near Huntington, West Virginia
killing over 70 people.

1977 (Nov. 19) — A TAP

1620 (Nov. 19) — The Plymouth

The ASSE exchange program
only lasts ten months, but host
families discover the special
relationships they build go on
forever. “I have a daughter from
Finland, a daughter from Ger-
many, and a son from Sweden. Two
daughters and a son, plus three
whole new families we get to visit
when we go overseas,” said Guinn
GROVES-Imagine being able
to absorb the culture of a foreign
country for a whole year without
ever having to leave home. That’s
exactly what the ASSE Student Ex-
change Program offers local
families who want to host an out-
standing teenager from abroad.
Having an European or
Australian youngster become part
of the family for an academic year
gives everyone in the house the op-
portunity to learn more about
themselves and the world they live
in.
ASSE teenagers are outstanding
students from Europe, Australia
and all points in-between. They’re
motivated 15-18 year olds who want
to become part of an American
household, which means they pitch
in on everything from chores to
family discussions. They’re also en-
thusiastic about sharing the culture
and customs of their own
homeland. And although most
ASSE kids are fluent in English,
they love to help teach their own
language to their American family.
And what better way to learn?
Host families also gain a new
perspective on their own way of life.
Parents and kids alike come to ap-
preciate lots of things they’ve
probably taken for granted. Like all Cape Cod. Their original destination
was supposed to be Virginia.
1777 (Nov. 15) — The Conti
nental Congress adopted The Arti-
cles of Confederation.

Sweet of Weatherford, Texas.
“From our one ASSE exchange
student we got a whole new family
overseas.” according to Kim
Kirkaby of New Orleans,
Louisiana.
And it’s reassuring to know that
the ASSE Program is affiliated with
the most esteemed government
education departments in the
world: the National Swedish and
Finnish Departments of Educa-
tion, the CVanadian Provincial
Ministries of Education and the
Australian and New Zealand
Departments of Education, have
approved the ASSE program, and
the United States Information
Agency has officially designated
ASSE as an exchange visitor
program.

Think about it. While you’re
enjoying the warm comforts of
your efficient gas furnace, you
are actually saving money for the
