Social Security
Gains for Aged
Are Explained
"If you are self-employed, age
62 or over and still engaged in
your trade or business you may
be qualified to receive all or some
social security monthly retirement
checks," said Sam Test, manager
of the Social Security Office.
"The number of social security
checks payable in a year," con-
tinued Test, "depends upon the
individual's net earnings for the
year. For example, if your net
earnings for 1970 amounted to
$1,680 or less you could get social
security checks beginning with the
month you were 62. Even if you
made more than that amount you
might get some checks so we sug-
gest you contact the Social Secur-
ity Office to see if any payments
are due you."
"Those who have a seasonal bus-
iness may receive checks for the
months in which their business is
inactive," he added.
The Social Security phone num-
ber is 537-9310, and the office is
located at 17500 Lahser, 48219.

NYC Jewish Hospitals
Fight Lead Poisoning
Among Ghetto Children
NEW YORK (JTA) — Several
Jewish hospitals in the New York
metropolitan area are jointly par-
ticipating in a concerted effort to
eliminate lead poisoning in children
and to provide treatment for vic-
tims of such poisoning, according
to the Federation of Jewish Philan-
thropies of which they are affiliates.
The Long-Island Jewish Medical
Center reported recently that some
8,000 children in ghetto areas are
suspected of having suffered such
poisoning. Medical officials said
that a disease associated with iron
deficiency anemia, called "pica,"
induces the children to eat such
inedibles as soil, chalk, clay, paint
and plaster to satisfy a need for
iron. Many ghetto homes still have
residue of surfaces painted with
paint containing lead before such
paints were banned and many chil-
dren absorb lead from eating such
