Questions
Answers
NEWS FROM Jl
nnona
«By Mo. Robert Sbimpock
Q. My former husband and I
were divorced in 1968, two
years prior to his death. Now
that I am 60 years old and have
not remarried, is it possible to
get any social security benefits
on his record?
A. If you were married for at
least 20 years, you would now
be eligible for a widow's
monthly benefit. Recent chang
es in the law provide for wife’s
benefits at age 62, or widow’s
benefits at age 60, if marriage
ended in divorce after lasting at
least 20 years.
Q. My daughter has a six-year
old child by a previous
marriage. Two months ago she
remarried, and her husband
was killed in an automobile
accident only last week. Is she
eligible for any benefits for
herself or child after such a
short marriage?
A. Both she and the child are
eligible for survivors benefits if
her late husband had enough
work under social security.
Prior to 4 recent change in the
law, the marriage would have
had to last longer, but this
requirement has been repealed
in cases of accidental death.

SHOPPING WISELY
Plan shopping purchases the list to maintain their qualtiy
before going to the store—so as much as possible,
nutritious yet economical selec All these things play
tions can be made which important roles in shopping.,
consider the likes and dislikes wisely and economically—
of family members. without endangering the fam-
First, know how much ily’s nutrition,
money can be spent on food.
Then make food choices within
that budget.
The human body requires
certain nutrients to meet its
health needs. Some foods
provide protein at low cost. Dry
beans, cheese, peanut butter
and eggs are examples.
Utilizing low-cost nutritious
foods can help cut expenses.
Certain foods are import-
ant sources of the various
nutrients. For example, milk is
an economis source of calcium
and riboflavin (a B vitamin).
Other foods such as citrus
fruits, tomatoes, cabbage and
potatoes offer vitamin C
economically, and vitamin A is
contained in dark green and
deep yellow vegetables.
Whole grain and enriched
breads and cereals, macoroni
products and rice provide some
of the B vitamins and iron at
Iqw cost.
Knowing how much food to
buy is important. Each family
member may require a
different amount of food for
good health—depending on his
age, sex and physical activity.
Wastes can be avoided by
simply buying the needed
amount.
Consider the time required
in preparing the different
foods. The best balance may be
a combination convenience
foods and home-prepared ones.
It usually kelps to spread
the cost of staple goods over
several shopping trips—buying
some each trip. Also it’s wise to
use up the foods on hand, expec
allly perishables, before buying
new ones. . ,
Keep a pad handy to jot
down items that need to be
purchased. These reminders
aid in making shopping lists.
When preparing lists,
shoppers should arrange foods
into groups, keeping the store's
layout in mind. Put perishables
and frozen goods at the.end of
