This summer, students at McHenry County college will study the bible as literature in an English department course taught by MCC instructor Charles Ham. The course will include study of several books of the Bible with selection to be made by the students in the class. For the first time slide presentations and a series of newspapers written in con­ temporary style to describe biblical events will be used as part of the course. The slides will include maps, scenic location shots, original texts, latest archaeological finds and artifacts to help the students better understand the text. The course will not only study the poetry, prose, drama, essay and biographical styles used in writing the Bible, but will also try to put the writings into their proper historical and cultural perspective.

(Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Recently, the following questions have been posed: Q. Is it possible to figure out how much my Social Security benefits will be reduced if I start receiving payments at age 62 instead of 65? A. By taking "early retirement" benefits at age 62, a worker will experience about a 20 percent reduction in monthly Social Security payments. For example, someone whose average annual taxable earnings under the Social Security system were $5,000 would currently receive payments of $304.50 a month at age 65. If he or she selected to receive Social Security at age 62, the monthly payment would be $243.60. The reduction will be greater ~ around 25 percent - for spouses of retired workers who receive benefits at 62. For widows who receive Social Security at age 60 instead of 65, the reduction averages 28.5 percent. The advantage, of course, is in receiving benefits three to five years early at a time when they may be needed. You should be aware that the reduction is permanent ~ the basic level will not rise when you turn 65. Ask your Social Security office to help you calculate your own prospective benefits. Q. What is the way to get help with huge medical bills? A. To get medical assistance one needs to make an ap­ plication to the Department of Public Aid in your county. For a single person who is over 65 or blind or disabled and who has less than $400 in assets when the medical bills exceed the difference between income and $178, they will find it useful to be in touch with the Depart­ ment. Q. Social Security has just sent me the bad news that my supplemental security income will be cut. My income is already too small to pay for my needs. What can I do? A. Your first step is to make sure your Social Security district office has a picture of your financial circumstances. The reduction of one-third is not applied if the individual can establish one of four cir­ cumstances as follows: 1. Ownership interest in the residence. 2. Rental liability for the residence. 3. That the person pays his full pro-rata share of household expenses. 4. That he does not receive support and maintenance from the household.
