Millions of Americans will be seriously considering kicking the cigarette habit the week of January 7-13 as voluntary and official health agencies and re lated groups combine to observe the third annual National Edu cation Week on Smoking spon sored by the National Inter agency Council on Smoking and Health assisted by the National Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association. W. Harold Koon, Program Di- the Central Midlands area. Some more thoughts on se lecting clothing for the elderly increase as they grow more el derly. They do not move about easily. The action range of their joints become limited, and their figure changes are not in keep ing with available readymade garments. In many ways their problems are similiar to the handicapped. All clothing must be put on and taken off. It must allow for freedom of movement. It must stand up under everyday wear and tear. It must be cleaned. Elderly people need easy on and off clothing so that they can dress themselves. Limited use of hands, arms and should ers make dressing difficult. Clothing which is difficult to put on or take off discourages their desire to fix up. Indepen dence builds courage; depen dency builds discouragement. As the tendency “not to dress” grows, so does their withdrawal from society. The personal needs of the elderly for dignity and accep tance by family and friends does not diminish with age. They need clothes that are attrac tive and at the same time pro vide comfort, mobility and ease of body movement. Because their body contours often dif fer from the standard figure for which ready made gar ments were developed they need clothes with style lines that are attractive and comfortable. Attractive and function al clothing can help them to maintain their dignity and at the same time can help to keep morale high. Clothing that is easy to care for helps to keep the elderly looking their best. If the cloth ing is a type they can take care * of themselves it increases their feeling of independence. If others must care for clothing, it lessens the burden of respon sibility if the garments can be cleaned with ease. In selecting an elderly per son’s garments, consider the individual; then look for attrac tive comfortable clothing that will be easy to put on and take off. Look for clothing that will clean easily and wear well. What makes a garment easy to. put on and take off? Gar ment should have openings large enough to be put on and take off without a struggle. They will contain sufficient room at the armhole and waistline. The fasteners must be both easy to use and easy to reach. Some new activities will be started at the Senior Citizens Center next week In addition to crafts and covered dish luncheon on Tuesday, Mr. Ar- hur Eargle will begin a class in caning and furniture refinish ing at 1:30 on Tuesday after noons. Also, on Thursday morn ings at 10:00 we will have quilt ing. The men’s coffee hour on Monday as usual and ceramics on Friday. The center is open daily from 9 to 5 for you to drop-in anytime. Happy New Year! rector with the SC TB and Re spiratory Disease Association- Area Six Branch Office, said the January 7-13 observance will be aimed at both smokers and non-smokers. Although people have different reasons for want ing to stop smoking, and find different methods successful, all share one common experience: making the decision to quit. “Ready . . . set . . . Quit!”, the theme of the nationwide ef fort, is designed to focus atten tion on that decision making process. The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Clinton is cooperating in National Education Week on Smoking by co-sponsoring a re turn of the 5 Day Plan to quit 1 Smoking which was held suc cessfully in Greenwood in Sep tember and in Edgefield in No vember, of this year. Persons interested in attending the area wide Smoking Withdrawal Cli nic may call your TB & Re spiratory Disease Association at 223-7303 for reservations or further information. The idea is • to start people thinking serious ly about quitting, help them make the decision to stop, and then help them to decide upon the method that will be most effective for them commented Rev. Bill Waters with the Se venth Day Adventist Church of Clinton. “We know it can be done,” Program Director Koon aid. “Twenty-nine million Americans have given up cigarettes since the U.S. Surgeon General issued “Smoking and Health,” the first official report of the connec tion between cigarette smoking and disease, in 1964. National Education Week on Smoking commemorates the eighth anni versary of the publication of that report.” During Smoking Education Week the TB-RD Assocaiton will be busy with Smoking Educa tion Programs aimed at area Intermediate Schools where stu dents ususally begin to experi ment with cigarettes in an ef fort to convince them smoking is no longer the “In-Thing-To- Do”. Along these same lines, the SC TB and Respiratory Di sease Association will join with the SC Interagency Council on Smoking and Health to sponsor South Carolina’s first conference on Smoking and Youth, Friday, January 12, 1973 at the Hiers House, Columbia. Area stu dents are being sponsored by the Area Six TB-RD Association along with civic organizations and area high school student councils. This conference plan ned by young people is oriented to young people, and will focus on just what youth can do in the fight against smoking. YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY Recent social security legis lation includes a number of pro visions for the disabled. The waiting period for disability has been reduced from six to five months, and is effective for be nefits payable for months be ginning January 1973, based on applications filed on or after October 30, 1972, or for claims filed before October 30, 1972 if a final determination was not rendered before that date. An individual disabled by rea son of statutory blindness may qualify for disability if he is only fully insured. This means if he has one quarter of cover age for each year elapsing af ter 1950 and up to the year of disability. The statutory blind person does not have to have worked at least 5 years out of tto 10 years before onset of disability. Benefits are first pay able for January 1973. A disability application may now be effective if filed within three months after the month of the wage earner’s death. En titlement may be established under this amendment for an individual who died in 1970 or later. For those who died in 1970 or later but prior to October 30, 1972, an application filed within three months after Oc tober 30, 1972 (before February 1, 1973) will be deemed to have been filed in the month of death. Formerly to qualify as a dis abled adult child a disability must have occurred prior to age 18; now it is possible for a disability which began before age 22. A disabled adult child may now become re-entitled fol lowing termination because of cessation of disability if disabl ed again within 7 years follow ing termination month. Perhaps no provision was so widely awaited as the Medicare coverage for those disabled be neficiaries who have been re ceiving disability insurance for at least 24 consecutive motnhs. This provision is to become ef fective July 1973. A subsequent article will give more details on Medicare and other provi sions, according to J. C. Bag- well, Manager of the Green wood District Office of Social Security. Soybean Assn, sets January annual meet Research and its role in crop production will be the main theme of the annual South Car olina Soybean Assn, meeting, Jan. 20, at the Hiers House starting at 1 p.m., according to Dave Wiggins, Eutawville, association president.
