SOCIAL
SECURITY
By GILBERT G. GONZALEZ
QUESTION: I will be 65 In
August of this year and plar,
to retire the last day in July.
My earning through the month
of July will exceed the annual
limit. Will I be eligible for any
social security benefits this
year0
ANSWER: There Is a special
rule that can apply only for the
first year of retirement, the
rule is that you can get a full
benefit for any months of the
initial year of retirement In
which you do not earn more
than $375 In wages ($290 If
you are under 65) and you do
not perform substantial ser-
vices in self-employment. In
general, if you are self-em-
ployed and work more than 45
hours a month, your services
will be considered substantial.
QUESTION: I understand that
the requirements for crediting
quarters of coverage under so-
cial security have changed.
What are the new changes"
ANSWER: For years before
1978, you earned one quarter
of coverage for a 3-month cal-
ender quarter In which you were
paid covered wages at $50 or
more. Also 4 quarters were
counted for any year in which
you had $400 or more in self-
employment income. Starting
In 1978, all employees and
■elf-employed individuals get
one quarter of coverage (up to
4 for the year) for each $250
of earnings received during the
year (rather than during the
quarter). For self-employment
income to be covered by social
Mcurlty, you still need to have
• net profit of $400 or more In
a year. For 197S you can earn
one quarter o< coverage for each
$260 of your covered annual
earnings. The amount needed
to earn a credit will Increase
automatically In luture years as
average wages Increase. A per-
son who earns maximum wages
creditable for social security
for a year receives a full year
of credit (4 quarters) even if he
works only part at the year.
QUESTION': I am 39 and re-
quire regular treatment on a
dialysis machine for kidney
failure. I have never paid any
social security taxes. My hus-
band is age 45 and has years
of social security credits. Can
I get social security benefits
on his record?
ANSWER; You would notqual-
lfy for monthly benefit pay-
ments. There are no provi-
sions in the law for benefits
payments to disabled wives.
However, you could be eligible
for medicare health insurance
benefits for his social security
record. The law has special
provisions for medicare cov-
erage for workers, their spou-
ses, or their children who re-
recelve regular dialysis treat-
ments or kidney transplants.
VISUAL AIDS
Visual aids are often called
nonverbal materials, and they
are important in helping to
make a speech effective. Maps,
diagrams, charts, pictures,
small working models, and even
demonstration with full scale
equipment often can make the
speech very effective.
If the object Is too big to
bring into the room where the
speech is to be made, a small-
scale model can be substituted.
For example, a model air-
plane may be used to make
clear the principles of landing
a plane or taking off.
There are certain guidelines
that must be followed for ef-
fective use of visual aids:
1. Keep charts, graphs, and
diagrams simple and clear. Use
heavy ink and broad lines to
emphasize an Important factor
or feature. Make the display
large enough to that the en-
tire audience can see them
easily.
2. Keep visual supporting ma-
terials visible only when they
are in use. Keep the Item cov-
ered until you are ready for
it, and put out of sight when
you have finished with it.
3. Prepare all visual mater-
ials before giving the speech.
Practice using the visual aids
as you rehearse your speech.
4. Choose materials and ob-
jects that relevant. Irrele-
vant materials distract the
viewer's attentio/n from the
idea you are discussing.
5. Use visual aids at the prop-
er psychological moment in the
speech. If your nonverbal ma-
terial support is not closely
coordinated with the discussion,
the chain of thought will be bro-
ken.

Tow-equip
car when
first buying
"Buying a car, then decid-
ing months later to equip it
for trailer towing is a lot like
trying to add plumbing to a
house after it's been built,"
according to Robert C. Honke,
Ford Division recreation vehi-
cle sales manager.
"The time to decide on
your first purchase at a fam-
ily trailer is before you buy
the car that must pull it,"
Honke said. "A family's first
camping trailer is usually an
exciting event, but the wrong
match at car-and-traller could
affect the whole experience."
Wtiile it is not necessary to
select a trailer before pur-
chasing a tow vehicle, a buyer
at least should decide on the
weight.
"If you decide on a tent trail-
er under 2,000 pounds, for ex-
ample, an economical vehicle
or compact pickup can do nice-
ly." Honke explained.
"On the other hand, if you
decide later to pull a 6,000-
pound travel trailer, a prop-
erly equipped Ford LTD, Club
Wagon or light light truck will
have the needed 'muscle.'".
Dealership personnel also
can be of help in selecting the
correct trailer-vehicle match.
Most newcomers to traller-
ing, Honke said, buy either a
folddown trailer or a small
"telescoping" trailer as their
first camper.
"The tent trailer folds Into
a compact package," he said,
"and a 'telescoping' trailer has
a low towing profile, but the
top easily can be raised once
you arrive at your campsite.
The low profiles of both ve-
hicles reduce wind resistance
for easy towing and improve •
fuel economy as well.
"They also are fairly easy
on the pocketbook. Fold-down
trailers can be purchased from
$700 to about $3,500 and a
small 'telescoping'trailer sells
for less than $5,000."
With a tent or "telescoping"
trailer weighing less than 2,000
pounds, the buyer needs a mini-
mum amount of heavy-duty
equipment on his or her car.
Travel trailers up to 6,000
pounds require a full-size car
or light truck and additional
trailer-towing equipment, ac-
cording to Honke.
Many auto makers, includ-
ing Ford, provide special trail-
er* towing packages as new-
car options.
"There are travel trailers
with all of the room and com-
fort of a summer cottage and
with price tags ranging from
$8,500 to more than $25,000,"
Honke noted.
"For these larger trailers
you will need a pickup truck
or van equipped with a heavy-
duty trailer-towing package.
Honke also advised RV buy-
ers not to base their trailer-
weight estimates on the vehi-
cle's "dry weight."
."•Dry weight' Is the weight
of a trailer without anything
added," he explained. "The
best figure to match your tow
vehicle to is the 'gross trailer
weight' calculated to the great-
est amount of weight the trail-
er can realistically carry.
"A camper is like a home,
and for some owners it's more
like a garage. An unbelievable
amount of camping equipment,
clothing, cooking utensils and
canned goods usually gets
stored away in the camper and
forgotten. And, you also must
add in the weight of stored
fluids such as water and bottled
gas.
"Anticipating your needs with
the purchase of the right car
or truck for the trailer you
will own some day Isn't diffi-
cult, and It will pay off In care-
free vacationing."
Make air
conditioner
*fit room
COLLEGE STATION—Select
an air conditioner that fits the
room—and enjoy a coolsum-
mer, says a family resource
management specialist, Bonnie
Piernot.
Mrs. Piernot is with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M Uni-
versity System
An alr-condltlonr does two
things to make a room cool
and comfortable. It cools, and
it dehumldlfies, she explains.
A unit too large for a par-
ticular room will cool the room
quickly, then the compressor
will cycle off.
Since dehumldlfication oc-
curs only while the compressor
Is operating, an oversized unit
may not dehumldify sufficiently,
Mrs. Piernot points out.
On the other hand, a slightly
undersized unit will operate the
compressor more and thereby
control humidity mare ef-
fectively.
Determine capacity
In the past, the capacity of
many room alr-condltloners
was determined by estimating
the size at the area to be cooled,
and then adding a bit more for
"good measure."
As a result, many units In
service today are larger than
necessary.
Also, slightly undersized
room alr-condltoners are In

step with today's energy-sav-
ing trends, uch as adding In-
sulation and weatherstrlpplng
to a home.
The same insulation that
helps keep a house warm in
the winter will help keep It
cool In the summer.
That reduces the load on an
air-conditioner, so it makes a
slightly undersized unit the
most efficient choice.
Compare EER
After determing the coollnc
capacity needed for a given
room, compare the Energy Ef-
ficiency Ratio (EER) of var-
ious models of cooling a room
alr-condltloner can do relative
to the amount of electricity It
uses. Air -conditioners with
higher EER ratings are more
efficient, and those with lower
EER's are less efficient, she
adds.
Eye appeal,
not label,
attracts them
COLLEGE STATION--Shop-
pers for beef don't pay as m<ich
attention to labels as govern-
ment officials, consumer
groups and the beef Industry say
they do.
"A statewide survey revealed
that eye appeal, not grade la-
bels, attract beef buyers In re-
tall stores," said Dr. Robert
E. Branson, coordinator of the
Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station's Marketing Research
and Development Center at Tex-
as A&M University.
Further, respondents to the
overhaul of the government's
grading and labeling system at
beef-something more simpli-
fied by which a label can be
more easily related to the kind
of beef In the package.
Seventy-five per cent said
they would prefer that beef be
"nutritionally" labeled—such
as "moderately fat," "moder-
ately lean," "lean" and "extra-
lean."
"What do terms like USDA
Prime, Choice of Good (grades)
mean to a shopper," Branson
asked, "when In essence shop-
pers are in a 'good, better and
best syndrome' which doesn't
apply to minds of all shoppers? "
Half of the shoppers who said
they observe grade labels gave
an A, B, C or D grade an-
swer, but A, B, C and D don't
exist in official grading of beef.
A majority of the respon-
dents also Indicated they would
more nearly purchase beef
stamped "USDA Inspected"
than If it were marked "USDA
Ungraded."
Bran: on said the survey was
conducts d at the request of
agricultural and marketing
groups who said they had a prob-
lem and needed a professional—
and unbiased—answer.
The A& M Center Is equipped
to conduct survey, primarily
regarding Texas agricultural
products, with as many as
50,000 down to 300 families.

Direct deposit-
VA checks
Some problems Involving di-
rect deposit of Veterans Ad-
ministration compensation and
pension checks can be avoided
by following a few simple pro-
cedures, according to Ted W.
Myatt, Director of the VA Re-
gional Office In Houston, Tex.
The direct deposit or elec-
tronic funds transfer system
allows VA beneficiaries to have
compensation and pension
checks entered In a checking or
savings account at the financial
Institution of their choice.
"Following application,ben-
eficiaries should allow approx-
imately 90 days for direct de-
posit to take effect," Myatt said.
"During this time the checks
will continue to go to the cur-
rent address."
If a person wishes to cancel
direct deposit at any time, VA
should be notified either by mail
or phone. Toll-free numbers
are available In all 50 states.
Consult community telephone
directories or local informa-
tion operators.
A change of address card
from the post office will not
suffice to cancel direct deposit,
Myatt said.
Following the notification to
cancel, VA beneficiaries should
keep their bank account open
until the check Is received at
the new address. If a person
wishes to change banks, a stan-
dard form from the new bank
is all that Is required.
"Here again, it is important
to keep the account open at the
old bank until the first payment
is received at the new bank,"
Myatt emphasized.
Single veterans going to
school full time under the GI
Bill receive $311 per month In
Veterans Administration edu-
cational benefits. Those with
dependents get more.

Zoo story
at Carver
Cultural Center
Take lots of abrasive, vio-
lence Inciting dialogue; add the
conflict between two basically
contrasting Individuals; mix In
the resultant emotional cath-
arsis; reduce to a single, one
hour-long scene In a big city
park; and you have the basic
recipe for the Zoo Story by
Edward Albee.
Two well-known and highly
respected San Antonio actors,
Robin Shear and James Bran-
denburg, will play the two sole
characters In this one night
only performance of Zoo Story
at the Carver Cultural Center,
226 N. Hackberry at 8 p.m.
Saturday, May 26.
Albee's first of many studies
in antithesis focuses on an en-
counter between two strangers
in Central Park on a summer
day. The protagonists are Jer-
ry (Brandenburg), -'a worn,
battered, yet woefully Intense
piece of city flotsam," and
Peter (Shear), "an upstanding
Brooks Brother Type."
Their meeting produces in-
stant, Intense conflict that Ini-
tiates sudden, shocking vio-
lence in an ending which serves
as an emotional cartharsls for
both the actors and the au-
dience. Although the Impact of
Zoo Story is mostly subliminal,
"It is a strong dose of theatri-
cal medicine." The Carver
Community Cultural Center Is
a division of the Department of
Human Resources and Services
of the City of San Antonio.
