A. No Social Security benefits that are not supplementary or disability income are paid to those who have not yet reached the earliest retirement age. Mary would do best to ask directly of the local SS office. All she has to do is telephone. Q.

The inscription on the painting was "My strength is as the strength of 10 because my heart is The school has since burned down. No one I have talked to who is in education today knows of the picture.

"Many times in the past years since I turned 60, I have felt cheated by business firms who will sell you anything for as much as they can get and to with quality. I feel that we older people are just sitting on a pole ready to be shot at by people who sell inferior products.

Is there anything we can do about it?" Maxie B. A. There are many ways to try to stop the cheaters. Always comparison shop. Watch the newspaper advertisements.

Buy generic brands of medicine. Use coupons and rebates to purchase items like towels and sheets. And holler like the devil at the seller when you are convinced you have been cheated.

But if I work after 72, will I still have to pay Social Security taxes on my earnings?" -Peter F. A.
