people-second."

Deaver said, "An example of thisv is the fact that k DeVico failed to support a candidate in the primary because he was not 100 percent convinced as to who would be the winner, and now he jumps on the band wagon, claiming his support is generated by the ‘wiH of the people.’ What happened to the will of the people who voted down the

a couple of years ago, he was its biggest proponent," Deaver said. ‘‘In fact, he went before the Board of Freeholders and. publicly asked for their help in obtaining an overpass. This action caused Ihc board to file a formal miuest with the DeparAient of TYansportatiori; which untimately led to the overpass. Being the true politican, he made sure he was on the grandstand, by inviting then Gov. Byrne to the site. "In his attempt to push for the overpass, DeVico removed the crossing guards," Deaver went on "Now that was a good move; that really showed his concern for the chifdren. He must have had second thoughts about this action, because he later replaced the guards with township police, but this lasted for only a short period, and they were removed, leaving the children totally unprotected.

boys, are hyperactive. The current term being used is attention deficit disorder. In most cases it is treatable, though diagnosing hyperactivity is not simple. Symptoms are inappropriate inattention, impulsiveness , and excessive physical activity. , IN THE JULY 16. 1982 Journal of the American Medical Association, a report notes that in recent years doctors have reached a‘consensus on the shortterm use of certain stimulants to treat hyperactivity. No one fully understands why a drug that stimulates the brain can settle a hyperactive child but studies show that the child's attention process is helped. Antidepressant drugs are _ found to bring relief to panic sufferers, according to Dr. David Sheehan, of Massachusetts General Hospital, tranquillizers do not seem to help the panic sufferer but!the antidepressant and drugs used to treat chemical imbalances are effective. TWO TO 5 PERCENT of the public suffer the symptoms of anxiety attacks — rubbery legs, pounding heart, lump in throat, a feeling of detachment or disorientation. Until recently, these symptoms of "panic disorder" were considered psychological but the July 15 issue of The New England Jouranl of Medicine indicates there may be a physical cause, .possibly a chemical imbalance. The proof is still there that sweets or heavily sugared foods are an important factor in the cause

of tooth decay. In Science magazine of July 1982, Dr. Ernest Newbrun of the Uiversity of California — San Francisco School of Denistry states that his studies show that the amount of sucrose-type sugar in food is an important factor in causing DR. NEWBRUN'S widely accepted theory of tooth decay is that sucrose allows cavity-causing bacteria to flourish. His latest findings link the amount of sucrose to the amount of a sticky substance in dental plaque. Studies further show that people who must avoid sugar for medical reasons have little or no tooth decay. Note also that the hay fover season arrived about two weeks earlier this year. Not only that, but allergist Dr. Paul Ehrlich of N.Y University Medical Centers say there is a bumper crop of ragweed. Hay fever affects an estimated 15 million Americans and although, according to Dr. Jordan Fink of The Medical College of Wisconsin, ragweed is the most common cause of hayfever, there are other weeds, grasses, trees, and certain molds that can cause allergies similar to hayfever. If the allergy is mild, it may run its course no mat; ter what you do, though some medication can relieve discomfqrt. But Dr. Fink says if the allergy is severe, prolong or recurrent, your doctor may be ^aWe to help ease the sneezin’ season.

Many Students Still Get Benefits

by Del Brooks As a new school year begins, many students 18 to 22 are still eligible for monthly Social Security checks. Although legislation in 1981 will gradually phase out _ _benefits for those in colIdge, about 620,000 students currently can count on thesli payments, compared with/759,000 a year ago. About 80 percent of these student beneficiaries attend college or other postsecondary schools. Their continued eligibility is based on the fact that they were receiving checks when the law changed in August fofljjipd they were in coUdgeoifore May 1982. Payments will continue until they finish school, reach age 22, or April 1985 - whichever is first. MOST OF THE remain Tng-GOjpercent attend high schoop*Their checks will be paid for all months they attefld school full time up to age 19. Under certain circumstances, payments may continue a few additional months. The only newly eligible students over 18 are those in high school. If you are a college student, your checks were stopped for the summer months even though you may have attended summer school. Payments will resume with the September check (due in early October) provided you plan to return to the classroom. However, the amount you receive generally will be 25 percent less than it was last spring. AS A STUDENT beneficiary, you will receive a "Beginning-of-

School-Year-Report" during the early weeks of the fall term. This form asks about school attendance, work activity, etc. Complete the top two-thirds of the form and ask your school registrar or other official to certify your attendance at the twttom and return it to Social Security. If it is not returned promptly, your benefits may be stopped. Did you have a summer job or will you have parttime earnings for 1982? If so, remember your benefits may be affected if you earn over $4,440 for the year. In general, $1 in benefits will be withheld for each $2 you earn over $4,440. Even earnings for months you are not entitled to benefits count toward the limit. Q. MY FATHER will retire at 62 next month. I'm 20 and in college and my brother is an 18-year-old high school senior. Can we receive any Social Security checks on his record? A. You are not eligible under the new law hilt your brother can receive benefits for any months he attends high school up to age 19. Q. I EARNED $3,500 during the summer and expect to- earn another $2,000 working part time the rest the year. Since I didn’t receive any Social Security checks for the summer, will my pay for those months affect my benefits? A. Yes. Earnings for all months must be counted. If your 1982 earnings will exceed $4,440, you should be stopped before the end of

the year to avoid an overpayment. Q. I‘M 20 years old and my student benefits were cut off a few months ago because I was not attending college fuU time. Since then, I became severely disabled in an auto accident and was wondering if I might be able to get some type of payments again? A. If medical evidence establishes that you arc unable to do any substantial gainful work for the last a year, you may be eligible for disability checks. These benefits may be payable on yolir own work record if you have as little as 1 '** years of Social Security Credits. Or you may become entitled to disability payments on the Social Security record of a parent. Q. WHEN MY first child was born, I quit my job as a dental hygienist. Now that all the children are in school, I’ve decided to return to work. Were the Social Security credits I earned in my former job taken off my record when I stopped working? A. No. Any Social Security credits you earn, regardles of when you earn them, remain on your Social Security record. Of course, if you stop working before you have enough credits, no benefits will be paybale on your Social * Security record. But, if you return to work, you can earn any additional credits you need to get benefits. Del Brooks is Social Security Manager in Wildwood.
