Celeste Ruzak, President Rahway Council of P.T.A.'s/O's Police Depts. join RID campaign Police departments in New Jersey have joined in the public awareness campaign of REMOVE INTOXICATED DRIVERS (RID) to educate the public of the responsibility of social hosts to prevent guests from leaving parties and driving home drunk. "Over 100 police departments throughout the state have requested and received bumper stickers for the municipal and police vehicles and have received brochures for distribution to the public with the campaign slogan "Hosts don't let guests drive drunk", according to Lorraine Roy, state coordinator of RID, "We are pleased that the police, who have been responsible for the enforcement of drunk driving laws, are also so actively engaged TAKE MY BY in this aspect of education of the public. RID thanks these officers for this additional effort on their part", said the RID official. The RID host education campaign was initiated last year following the New Jersey Supreme Court decision which stated thai "a host who serves liquor to an adult social guest knowing both that the guest is intox icatcd and will thereafter be operating a motor vehicle, is liable for injuries inflicted on a third party as a result of the negligent operation of a motor vehicle* by~the adult guest." Persons desiring a.copy of the host brochure should contact their local police department or may write directly to RID at P.O. Box 1614, Wayne, NJ 07470. rd FOR IT .lO&.IOHN.IACOBSO.N BETWEEN VS. AMONG Frequently Abused Words Someone has got to lake a firm stand against "word abuse." lake, for example, the word between. It is derived from the Anglo Saxon word, betweonum, combining the preposition be : "by" + iween or twain « originally, "a distribution of the numeral two." Oramatically, therefore, between is the proper choice of words when only two entities are involved: "The rivalry between England and France." When more than two objects are concerned, the correct word to connect them is among: "Among the four chairs, 1 like the red one best." However, between can also be used to distinguish between several points: "We have narrowed the search between Newark, F.li/abelh and Hohoken." Betwixt is merely an earlier form of between and is still used in the expression "betwixt and between." meaning an intermediate position. Between has some interesting related words: twig, "a small tree branch;" twist, describing "tsvo threads twined together;" twill, "a two thread fabric" (tweed is a three thread fabric associated with the Tweed River in Scotland, where it was manufactured); twine, "a double twisicd cord." Other derivatives include: teen, which probably conies from "between twelve and twenty;" teeny, which is an ulieruiion of tiny, and teenyoopper, "a teenager following the latest fashion in clothing or music." The confusion in the use of between and among is easily avoided when we understand the numeral two component incorporated in the word between, Conversely, among stems from an old English (450 to 1150) word, ongemang (on » "in" + gemang -• "a crowd"), original' ly meaning a "mingling," Now thul the word origins have been cleared up, you should never again find yourself betwixt and between concerning between and among; nor shall you abuse them! ^' 1985 Leather Impressions, Inc. Reports/ About Supplemental Income Social Security officials believe that many aged, blind or disabled people arc not aware that they may be eligible to receive monthly cash payments from the Federal Government. The Supplemental Security Income program, commonly known as SSI, provides monthly assistance to people who are 65 or older, blind, or disabled and in need of financial help. A single adult or child may be entitled to up to $336 a month and a couple can receive up to $504 a month, if both persons arc eligible. To be eligible, one must be a resident of the United States and meet certain income and ussct requirements. If disabled, a person must be willing to accept any vocational rehabilitation services which arc offered. People who have some income from cither Social Security benefits or a part-time job may still be eligible for reduced levels of SSI payments, Limits on individual assets arc $1,700 for an individual and $2,250 for a couple. Included in this figure would be assets from savings accounts, stocks or bonds and cash. A person's primary dwelling would not be considered in the determination of assets, njbr — in most cases — would the value of a car and/or-pcrsonal and household goods.. Finally, a person may have up to $1,500 in burial funds and life Insurance and still qualify for SSI assistance, Should an individual be interested in filing for these extra benefits, he or she can speed up the application process by having certain information readily available when they visit their local Social Security office. When applying, a person should have with them their Social Security card or a record of their Social Security number; n birth certificate; information pertaining to any income andassets, such as payroll slips, copies of tux returns, bank book, insurance policies and automobile registrations. Further information required, which would expedite the application process, would include the amount of mortgage on one's home and the amount of property tuxes paid. In the case of leased housing, the applicant should be able to provide a copy of the lease and the name of the landlord, Monthly expenses, such as food and utilities, should also be available. If the applicant is filing because of blindness or disability, the Social Security Administration will require copies of the medical records and the names and addresses of doctors, hospitals and clinics which have treated the applicant. The SSI program is available to help people in need of extra assistance, which in many cases may make a significant difference in the quality of their lives. In New Jersey, over 89,000 people were collecting some SSI benefits in December, 1984, the last ycur for which figures are available. Local Social Security offices in New Brunswick and Perth Amboy have complete information on this program and, if you think you may be entitled to these supplemental benefits, please contact them.

Dental care available to senior citizens The Senior Citizens Council of Union County and the Union County Dental Society have, for many years, provided the senior citizens of most of Union County with the opportunity to have complete dental care. This service is rendered in the private offices of those members of the Dental Society who have indicated their desire to participate in this now county-wide program. The Council screens the senior citizen for eligibility to enter the program. This screening usually consists of meeting the State of New Jersey guidelines used for the pharmaceutical assistance program. The Council will then refer the eligible senior to their own dentist, if he or she is a participant in the program, or to a practitioner close to their home. In all, there arc about ninety members of the Union County Dental Society who arc involved in this program. For those eligible seniors, the fees arc much lower than normal, and therefore make the availability of proper and caring dental treatment much easier to obtain. Included in the full range of dental services arc oral surgery, periodontia, endodontia, orthodontia, and prosthodontia. All types of restorations (fillings), cleanings, crowns, bridges, and dentures arc available. Appropriate specialists are available when needed. Dr. Howard Ross, Chair man, and Dr. Harvey Brooks, Vice Chairman of the Union County Dental Society Senior Citizens program said, "In our opinion, the service being offered to the eligible senior citizens of Union County makes fine dental care available and af- fordable without sacrificing cither quality, or the warm, caring, and friendly environment of the private office. The relationship built is based on good care and understanding." This program is one of the first of its kind in the country and is a model for many others in the state and nationwide. For those who wish to avail themselves of the program, full details are available from Mrs. Beverly Riz/o, at the Senior Citizens Council at 964-7555.

One of these programs is offered in conjunction with the Union County Vocational-Technical Schools (UCV-TS). Each year approximately 30 students from Rahway High School attend the special needs training programs at UCV-TS. Most of these students have ability which is impaired by a learning disability. Students receive instruction in English, History, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education for one half of the day at Rahway High School and special instruction in one of the 11 different technical fields at UCVT-TS for the other half of the day. Some students participate in a prcvocational skills development workshop to prepare for the technical training or placement in a sheltered workshop, the spokesman reported. As our society becomes increasingly complex, technical skills arc becoming more important for successful employment. Compared to unskilled high school dropouts and high school graduates, technical school graduates have a competitive advantage in the job market, UCV-TS offers training and job placement assistance in trades such as welding, auto service, food service, printing, secretarial, hospital care, and landscaping, Admission to UCV-TS begins with a tour and assessment program. ThroiigluJntcrcsU-invcntories, aptitude tests, and work samples from the different training programs students' skills and interests arc identified during a two week assessment. Groups for assessment and instructional purposes arc small in order to meet the needs of each student. Career awareness and job-related activities are included to guide students in their vocational choices. Students arc also given the opportunity to spend time in the programs in which they display interest. Hotline for Hornsby named to dean's list SATURDAY MARCH 15, 1986 FROM 1 TO 4 P.M.
