After 18,
no more
SS checks
Children who reach their 18th
birthday are no longer entitled to
Social Security checks unless they
are unmarried and are disabled for
or secondary school, said Thomas
P. Lavelle, Social Security manager
in Wilkes-Barre.
A child can continue to get
monthly payments if he or she has a
physical or mental condition that
prevents him or her from doing
substantial gainful work and that is
expected to last at least one year,
Lavelle said.
If a child’s monthly payments are
discontinued at 18, they cn start
again if he or she becomes disabled
before reaching age 22, or becomes
a full-time elementary or secondary
school student before reaching 19.
Under the law, a person is consid-
ered to reach a certain age on the
day before his or her date of birth.

Security benefits for children can be

Locals graduate
College Misericordia recently graduated 208 men and women who received associate's,
bachelor’s and master's degrees at the college’s 60th commencement convocation. Monsignor
Andrew J. McGowan, chairman of Misericordia’s Board of Trustees, conferred an honorary
Doctor of Laws degree on Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, Archbishop of Chicago, in recognition of
his leadership in the contemporary Church and his service to humanity. In his address to the-
graduates, Cardinal Bernardin challenged his fellow ‘‘classmates'’ to prepare for the next
century, the beginning of a new millenium. It's time for you to take your rightful place in the
mainstream of society and the Church, he said. Following the Cardinal's remarks, Dr. James
Pallante, academic dean, presented the 208 degree candidates to Misericordia President Dr.
Joseph Fink who conferred the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Dr. Fink noted that for the
first time College Misericordia was awarding college honors to 11 students. ‘‘Four years ago we
established an Honors Program as part of the college’s commitment to academic excellence
and the liberal arts.”” The college's 60th commencement convocation marks the graduation of

hot weather tips: :
- Deflect daytime sun with verti-
cal louvers or awnings on windows,
or draw draperies a
sunny windows. Keep
outside doors closed di
test hours of the day.
-Keep the lights low or off. Elec-
tric lights generate heat and add to
the load on the air conditioning
equipment.
-Use vents and exhaust fans to
pull heat and moisture from attics,
kitchens and laundries directly to
the outside.
-Do as much cooking as possible
and use heat-generating equipment
in the early morning and late eve-
ning hours. On cooler days and
during cooler hours, open the win-
dows instead of using air-condition-
ers or electgric fans.
-Turn off the furnace pilot light.
