Exercise Can Help On Varicose Veins

MOORESTOWN - Almost any kind of exercise involving the feet and legs will benefit persons suffering from varicose veins, according to the president of the New Jersey Podiatry Society. Dr Nicholas LaMaina said that walking, jogging, or running will help improve circulation, a key to relieving varicose conditions. He explained that a main cause of the problem is blockage or malfunction of the valves through which blood passes on its way back to the heart When this occurs, blood flows backwards and pools in the veins, expanding and stretching them EXERCISE, according to Dr. LaMaina. stimules

the pumping system of the body and starts stagnant bloofl moving back to the heart. Sitting or standing for long periods, on the other hand, aggravates the condition. "Many people with varicose veins may find it difficult or impossible to jog or run," noted Dr. La•Maina. "But these same people can usually walk, and a regular walking program will accomplish the same purposes. Support hose are also recommended. "At the very least, legs should be elevated from time to time while sitting," he said, "and any preexisting foot conditions should be taken care of to make walking as copifor table as possible."

Most SS Dollars Go For Benefits

By DEL BROOKS Social Security Manager in Wildwood How much of each Social Security tax dollar earmarked for paying monthly retirement, disability, and survivors' benefits is actually used for this purpose? And how much is used to run the program? In an opinion poll a few years ago, a majority of people 'guessed that less than half of each tax dollar went for benefits. And only about one person in 20 said at least 80 percent of the i tax money was paid in benefits. In truth, about 98.6 cents from each tax dollar paid i in 1983 went directly to make payments to some 36 i million people getting : benefits. And only 1.4 cents i went for administrative i expenses. i IT'S TRUE that the ' Social Security Administration's ad- ] ministrative- costs — in < dollars and cents — have i gone up over the years as : its .programs have grown. 1

But the ratio of those costs in relation to tax income has steadily decreased For example, it took 1.6 cents from each tax dollar to run the program five years ago; and about 2 cents a decade ago. Administrative expenses include such items as salaries, rental of property and equipment, building operating expenses, and supplies. They also include payments--' to the U.S. TreaXur^Department for ^ collecting Social Secupt>\ taxes and issuing checks, as well as-faBtsmcmred by Vstates in rag£tog"tiisat>ility j SociaM^ modernization which service to; the pat)llc^-aN>^
