Buying American The v car 1971 was a record one for American car manufacturers. \ tentative estimate is that over 10.3 million U.S.automobiles were sold, breaking the 1%8 record Of more interest is the current prospect for another record in 1972. as the economy recovers from a generally stagnant year. Helping I S makers' prospects are recent increases in the price of toreign cars Because of changes in exchange rates (devaluation of the dollar and upward valuations of Japanese and German currencies), forign cars are now . in most cases, a few dollars higher than their American counterparts. While this difference is usually small, perhaps twenty or thirty dollars only, in recent years the foreign car has been as much as a hundred or more dollars cheaper Buyers motivated primarily by price are therefore likely to return to American-built small cars.

Business Partner What causes a national advertiser to switch millions of dollars in advertising from television and other media to newspapers? This change has been taking place so frequently during the past few years it is no longer news. But there is always a reason based on cold, impersonal business considerations. The actions of national advertisers are governed largely by extensive research. Companies which make the change often give the same reasons in their choice of newspapers: immediacy, believability, memorability, and local impact. An appliance company official recently said that the decision of his firm to put the major part of its national advertising budget into newspapers was based on the "demand of retail distributors." The official said that the retailers repeatedly pointed out that advertising in national and regional media did not lead to direct sales in the local community. Advertising in the local newspaper, on the other hand, was quickly associated with the local dealer and brought tangible results. "Advertising which is beamed from New York, or some other large city, may make a local consumer curious about the product. But it doesn't make him buy very often. And even when he buys he may travel 100 miles to make the purchase even though the item is in stock locally," one community dealer said. Thus, the great industries are governed by the local customer and the local dealer in placing their advertising. Most dealers know that the local newspaper is their best business partner.

Watkins, I-TE I .1) R E PR F.SFNTA TIV E Today's questions are ones frequently being ask­ ed of our representatives by the people of McHenry county. The Social Secur­ ity office at 2500 Grand avenue, VV'aukegan, re­ minds Mc Henry county residents that it has repre­ sentatives meeting people at two locations in Mc Hen­ ry county on a regular ba­ sis. The representatives are at the Woodstock Pub­ lic Library, 414 VV. Judd, Woodstock every Wednes­ day from 9 a.m. to noon and at the Harvard city hall from 9:30 a.m. to noon on the first and third Tues­ day every month. If you have a question you would like answered on Social Se­ curity in this column, then please forward it to Social Security Administration Question and Answer Col­ umn, 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan, Illinois, 60085. Give your full name, ad­ dress, and Social Security number. If you do not want your name to appear, please indicate this and we will use only intitials. QUESTION: My wife and I receive a combined monthly Social Security check. She plans to visit our daughter for several months and will be away from home. Can my wife get her benefit in a separate Check? E.W.-McHenry ANSWER: Yes, she can. Your wife should call or visit her Social Security office to arrange to receive her check separately at your daughter's address. However, she should be sure to notify the Social Security office when she returns home. QUESTION: My wife and I were married shortly after graduation from high school. In October she came down with leukemia. She has never ap­ plied for disability benefits from Social Security because she presumes she didn't work long enough as a car-hop and sales girl to get anything. Is she right9 ANSWER: Not necessarily. A woman of your wife's age needs only 1'2 years of work credit under Social Security to meet the work requirement for disability benefits. Our office will be happy to discuss this matter with her and assist her in filing a disability application if she wishes to do so. QUESTION: My wife has been out of work for 14 months due to arthritis but has dif­ ficulty deciding whether or not to file a disability application. How long does she have to decide on this feminine perogative? ANSWER: Eighteen months from the time she had td^top work. After that, she may losth some back benefits if an ap-J plication has not been filed. ' QUESTION: How old do you have to be to be eligible to receive disability benefits under Social Security? ANSWER: There is no minimum age. There have been cases of teen-agers qualifying based on their part time work while going to school. WHV PIP VOL) SALUTE THAT TRUCK: DRIVER ? DON'T puMg>.
