ents. Another 1920 are receiv
ing benefits as the survivors of
workers who have died, and
1,000 are getting benefits as dis
abled workers or the depend
ents of disabled workers.
Bagwell pointed out that al
though the majority of social se
curity beneficiaries are older
people, about one out of every
four is under age 60.
In the Stateof South Carolina,
106,348 people under age CO are
collecting social security pay
ments each month. The 59,950
who are under 18 are receiving
payments because a working fa
ther or mother has died or is
getting social security disabili
ty or retirement benefits.
Of the 8378 who are 18 through
21 years of age, most are get
ting students benefits under a
provision which permits the
continuation of a child's bene
fits past his or her 18th birth
day, and up to age 2? if he or
she is attending schoi J full time.
But in this 18 to 23 age group,
Bagwell said, are some other
types of beneficiaries, illu
strating the broad familypro-
tection that is provided working
po pie >! all ages under the so
cial security program.
A number are the children of
retired, disabled, or deceased
workers who liecame disabled

Dear Sally
BY SALLY SHAW
DEAR SALLY: My husband is
in the advertising business, and
we are frequently called on to
entertain some of his clients
and associates at cocktail part
ies in our home. Since our home
isn’t very large, we always try
to limit our guest list -- but
despite this quite often some
of our guests bring friends a-
long with them, and this makes
things even more crowded and
uncomfortable. Is there any so
lution to this vexing little prob
lem? OVER-GUESTED.
DEAR OVER-GUESTED:
There is, of course, nothing
you can do about the uninvited
extra guests after they’ve ar
rived. But you and your hus
band can certainly help to avoid
this situation when extending
your invitations by making clear
the fact that you must keep
your guest list down to a com
fortable number due to your
limited space.
DEAR SALLY: I’m a girl of 16
with a “parental problem.” My
parents insist on looking over
every boy first before I am per
mitted to go out with him. It’s
dreadfully embarrassing when I
have to tell a boy of this rule
before I can accept a date. Don’t
you think I'm being much too
over-protected? MIDGE.
DEAR MIDGE: No. Your par
ents do this because they love
you and are concerned for your
well-being, and no really worth
while boy will resent it. . . in
fact, he’ll appreciate you more.
You don’t have to make a big
thing out of it when a boy asks
you for a date. Just tell him
casually and smilingly that your
parents always like to meet the
fellows with whom you go out.
DEAR SALLY: I’m a man of
27 and have been dating regu
larly for over eight months with
a lovely girl of 24. Today I
almost passed out when some
one informed me that this girl
was previously married and was
divorced a year ago. It isn’t
so much the fact that she was
married before that bothers me
-- it’s her failure to tell me
about it. She has been giving
me every indication that she’s
as much attracted to me as I
am to her. So, what do you think
I should do now -- ask her out
right about this, or say nothing
and hope that in time she will
confide in me? BEAT.
DEAR BEAT: Bring it out into
the open. There is the possi
bility that your informant was
wrong. If, however, the girl
confirms it, then it’s up to you
to decide whether her reason
for concealing this important bit
of information from you for over
eight months is worthwhile e-
nough for you to continue the re
lationship.
Your buddy is your best
friend, especially when you need
assistance in the water. When
the subject is swimming safety,
always think in terms of two’s,

TIM PRATER
with Senators Strom Thurmond
and Ernest F. Rollings of South
Carolina, and had lunch with
Congressman Mann and Carl
Albert of Oklahoma, the Ma
jority Leader of the House and
a proable replacement for John
McCormack as Speaker of the
House.
Also on the schedule was
a special tour of the Capitol,
including House andSenate ses
sions, a special tour of the
White House, a tour of the Nat
ional Gallery of Art, andabase-
ball game between the Washing
ton Senators and the Detroit
Tigers at Robert F. Kennedy
Memorial Stadium.
Mann and various civic clubs
and businesses in the Fourth
District sponsor these trips in
the hope that they will be ac
cording to Mann, “a worthwhile
effort to close the so-called
generation gap, and to show our
younger people that our system
is flexible and responsive to
peaceful and constructive
change.”
