I remember everything I wish to remember and I am 65. I'll give you my statistics: ; Widow with reddish-brown hair, not bent, decrepit, or senile; 5'5" tall, not over­ weight, no wrinkles and people think I'm 20 years younger. I climb mountains, bicycle, swim, run, dance, ski, golf, drive a car, read, write stories, paint pictures, sew, do crafts, go to the theater and become involved in everything from politics to sociology. If you don't r believe my statistics, I'll \ send a picture". - Mrs. D.G. * A. - WOW! No need for the 'lady to send a picture! I * believe her. Q. - "Read our tale of woe. •We signed an agreement X with a contractor to do a J roofing job on our house. No * work was done until four > months later. Finally, the < contractor did most of the roof, but my husband had to finish it. Then, the lumber company filed a lien for $750 on our house because the contractor had not paid for the shingles. We are on retirement. What can we do?" - Mr. and Mrs. Walter O. A. - The lien probably will remain until the shingles bill is paid, either by Mr. and Mrs. Walter or when the ~ house is sold. Lumber V companies and other sup­ pliers do just that when a ^ contractor doesn't pay them < - they place a lien on the * property, regardless of who owns it. It is not fair. I don't > think it's honest. But it is the law. I have paid to have * three houses built. I learned the hard way to never pay a r- contractor's bill until he signed a waiver of lien. On a number of occasions, when I knew he had not yet paid the supplier, I issued a check made out jointly to both the * contractor and the supplier; like this - "John Doe,, Contractor, and the ABC i Lumber Yard." You can bet • that the lumber company got ? its share of the money and didn't even think of a lien * when the check jvas en­ dorsed and cashed. ~ located at the nearest can look in under "Aging." Thfey can also report the contractor to 5 the town!* Registrar of Contractors. That won't get their mgiiey back but it may keep others from losing money to that crook. * at 651 take daily injections of insulin. I heard there is a necklace or bracelet you can wear that will tell what's - wrong with me if I go into a coma and there is no one around who knows what's the matter. Where can I get one?" - Basil G. A. - I'm surprised Basil What Rufus them - K xuals who call Q. - "My brother is nearly hadn't heard about it before 70. He has been a now I should think every homosexual all his life, diabetic would learn of " Ver married. He used to "Medic Alert" from his a 'homo'. Now doctor. It is an emblem that himself a 'gay.' appears on either a bracelet ' gay about it?" - or neck chain. It is best used by those with hidden medical problems such as allergies to penicillin and other medication, heart problems, diabetes and epilepsy, among some 200 other dangerous conditions. Here is how it helps the momentarily helpless: An ambulance driver, for example, will spot the emblem on an accident victim. On the reverse side he will see the identification number of the wearer and the phone number of the Medic Alert central registry. He will radio the hospital to phone the registry for the life-saving information which is on permanent file in the victim's name - within seconds. Basil can write to Medic Alert at Turlock, Calif., 95380. gay" are have robbed language of a ibes feelings and bubbling j and turned it into a weird they can use to shelter their own problem- plagued, sometimes u n h t ^ p t y , s e x u a l preferences.; -i-m What homosexuals do with each otto is their business. But i resent their use of the word,"gay? as a label for their Jdod. I have been acquainted with many homosexuals through the many, years,, but I never knew or heard of one who felt happy, about it - or gay. It's getting so a wife may be afraid to tell her husbnad he "was gay at the party last night," because he might Walter and his wife may ;• think she meant something Q. - "My older sister is in a hospital with terrible bedsores that, in one case on ive gone through to She was taken om the nursing home supposed to take ] her. I think it is a sad thing to pay for bed sores at a nursing home." - Madge w s . : f . ̂ , A. f The aged in some nursing homes are plagued with bed sores. Bedridden boarders in other nursing homes never get a bed sore. The reason, my doctor says, is the ttindof care they get. If a bedridden senior is turned from time to time, he or she will gfct no-bed sores. In my town there is a modest- priced nursing home that never has a bedsore case. Across town there is a nursing home built like a palace that almost always has boarders with bed sores. Relatives of those confined to nursing homes should have a serious talk with the management when bed sores develop. If improvement isn't immediate, they should contact the city or county department that licenses nursing home. Q. - "How much Social Security will I be entitled to next year at age 62 and how much if I wait until I'm 65? A couple of years ago I inquired, and SS sent a card that merely stated, 'Qualified.' " - Ernest K. A. - The amount received if SS is taken at 62 is generally about 20 percent less than payments com­ mencing at age 65. Ernest wiU have to inquire again at SS as nobody else can give him the answer. If SS does not, then he should write to his congressman. That should get the information. hold a pen so I am writing this for her. My father (her husband) died last year. There was supposed to be a death benefit paid from Social Security but she has never received it. Don't tell me to go to SS as I have been at their office dozens of times to no avail. They said my mother was not eligible because father died at a nursing home ai)d didn't live withi»er>8ut 8he was in the same nursing home and they were man and wife. I wrote to the U.S. senator and finally the lunk heads at SS agreed mother should get the benefit. That's a year ago and she hasn't received it." - Rex K. A. - Rex may get help and action from his area's Council on Aging.
