I was happy to be working again after not being able to get a job even as a typist. I was out of a job for three months. "When I worked last summer, the agency paid me $4.60 an hour. The company they sent me to work for then was billed $7.35 an hour for the work I did. When the agency called me a month ago lo go to work for the same company they told me that I would not get the same . pay as I had before and the rate I would be paid would go down to $3.50 from $4.60 an hour. I was mad about such a salary cut, but I need work so I kept my mouth shut and took the assignment. . "During the next week I had coffee with a woman in the book­ keeping department. She said that I must be glad to to be working again. I said that I was glad and that the company must be glad it less for me summer -- $1.15 less. "She said, 'What do you mean less? We pay the same rate for your work that we always MS FOR LIVING.T pafid.' I called the agency and asked them why my pay was cut and the customer's rate was not. The answer was unbelievable. 'It is a sign of the times,' they said. "You see what I mean about being shafted. Why does the agency do that to a typist and what can I do about it?" -- Louisa K. A. - The temporary help agency simply wants to make a greater profit. The only thing you can do about it, Louisa, is to tell everybody you know how the agency in­ creases its profit at a cost of fair pay and fair play. Then perhaps some fine morning they will either have to raise pay rates back up again or otherwise- be unable to get people to go to work under their banner. Meantime, you can go to another agency for a job. Q. - "My husband planned to retire at age 63, on Dec. 31, 1981.

" H o w e v e r , h e changed his mind and retired in April. Since he worked four more months he expects a re- evaluation and an in­ crease in his check. The SS people told him the check will be computed and added on retroactively when he reaches 65. "Now that I am to receive SS at age 62, my check will be computed on my husband's ear­ nings as of now, making our income con­ siderably less for the next two years. "This does not seem right to us. Especially with SS having so many errors to correct. We wonder if we will get the money due us. We would appreciate your opinion on this matter." -- Mrs. Ray A. A. - If Mrs. Ray asks Social Security for a full e x p l a n a t i o n s h e w i l l probably learn that their income wili not be considerably less for the next two years. Simple arithmetic will deter­ mine that four months of income from a job is not likq|y to be enough to effect a considerable increase in SS en­ titlement. She says that £S has %o_mapy errors to correct." I have found that they make few errors that are not soon corrected. She need not wonder if she and her husband will get the money due t h e m . T h e y w i l L I - w i s h t h a t e v e r y government agency could be £5 accurate and helpful as I have found SS to be.

The body rested Monday at Ahlgrim & Son chapel, Palatine, where Center For Women May Locate In Area by Joanne Springman If all goes according to plan, Woodstock center could become the first national cento* for women. The center is to be a gift from the Sylvia and Aaron Scheinfeld Foun­ dation of Chicago to the National Forum for Women. But the NFW must raise $175,000 for a revolving main­ tenance fund by January before acquiring the property. The public is invited to the Wood­ stock center for an open house Sun­ day, Dec. 5, from 2 to 4 p.m. The center is located at 18410 Route 14 between Harvard and Woodstock. The idea for this new use for the Woodstock Center was conceived in August, 1982, when Sylvia Scheinfeld, president of the Sylvia and Aaron Scheinfeld Foundation, agreed to give the three million dollar 88-acre con­ ference facility to the NFW. She made the gift with the condition that the group raise $175,000. These monies are to ensure that any maintenance costs on the grounds and buildings will be covered for at least two years. "Although the 'ripple effect' has begun and half of the commitment has already been met, a great deal of work is yet to be done in order to reach our goal," said Sonja T. Mast, one of the six founding directors of the National Forum for Women. She pointed out that the Center is not only the largest gift ever given by a foundation in the state of Illinois, but it is also the largest contribution given specifically to a women's organization. Center Executive Director Hedy Malki said Sylvia Scheinfeld had been thinking of the future of the facility for sometime. "She (Ms. Scheinfeld) is nearing her 80th birthday," Ms. Malki said. "This is a unique facility, and she wants the concept of the center to continue." The rustic 88-acre complex was established along U.S. 14, north of town, in 1968. The center can house up to 40 people and includes a private lake, heated swimming pool, tennis courts and nature trails. Ms. Malki said the center hosts an average of 85 conferences, seminars, training sessions and similar ac­ tivities annually. "This unique ap­ proach to problem-solving has been tested successfully," she said. NFW President Susan Bernstein, of Skokie, said she first approached Ms. Scheinfeld about two years ago. After staying at a retreat center in Wisconsin, Ms. Bernstein and some colleagues began thinking about a national center for women, which they felt would save money and be more productive than conferences at hotels. En route to Rockford, Ms. Bernstein visited Woodstock center and learned the facility was to become available. At first, Ms. Scheinfeld turned down the NFW because of negotiations with an educational group from California. "But later, when thait didn't work out, she oilled us,'*' Ms. Bernstein said. "She wanted to make certain that the mission of the center would continue, that the center would continue to be a place where diverse groups could come together to work . for social change. "To our knowledge, a center specifically for women would be the first, of its kind in the"*nation," Ms. Bernstein said. it's a $3 million site and would be one of the largest gifts ever awarded by a foundation in tllG stflt6 " Negotiations took place through last summer, and Ms. Scheinfeld agreed to transfer the center to the NFW, contingent upon the group raising the $175,000. Ms. Bernstein said the NFW began soliciting donations from 100 women who could give $1,000 or more and from other personal contributions or grants. One of the first $1,000 donations came from former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, whose daughter-in- law, Judy Langford Carter, of Evanston, is a member of the NFW board of directors. So far, 50 donors have given or pledged funds. The organization also has collected between $10,000 and $15,000 in personal donations. "I feel it's going to be tight, but the momentum is growing," Ms. Bern­ stein said. "And I think we'll be able to raise the money." The NFW will host an open house at the center, which all area women are invited to attend, Sunday, Dec 5V For more information about the project, call NFW Secretary Sonja Mast at (312) 724-5244.

As their use in­ creases, so does the demand for qualified lie detector op­ erators. Calling Colleen Dear Colleen: When we started the col­ lege term last September, I asked my two roommates, the very first day, if they were interested in going to-. gether to rent a small refrig­ erator so we could keep a little food on hand for the times we didn't want to bo­ ther to go to the cafeteria. Both said they weren't inte­ rested, so I rented one for myself. Now they're both using it. T^yJ(arted out with just a cahdyoar, or an apple, now tney bring left­ overs from weekend visits home and together they are taking up more shelf space than I am using. They ask, "Can I leave this in here overnight?" and overnight turns out to be several days. I want to maintain harmony, but I think I am being had. What do you think? Sarah Dear Sarah: I think you need to have a "bored" meeting. LA them know, in a nice way, that a share of the rental costs comes with a share of shelf space/ T h e w o r l d ' s population grows by about 90 million a year.
