After four years, the current Illinois 2nd district Congressman ends term and Ralph Metcalfe takes over January 1. The note lists his district offices at 454 E 79th St and Dirksen Building in Chicago with contact numbers and urges constituents to contact him for social security, military, or government red tape issues.
In a reflective message the former congressman notes continued belief in government reform, cites public input via letters and calls as key to better representation, and says he will resume private law practice in Chicago with possible teaching while pursuing goals like ending the Vietnam era war, honest government, prison reform, handgun control, and a cleaner environment. He extends gratitude for the support and experiences over 14 years in office.
The article reviews the 1970 constitution judicial merit plan, noting 43 Cook County judges retained with over 60 percent yes votes. It discusses the mixed support, past proposals, and the roles of bar associations, public groups, and the Judicial Inquiry Board in Illinois' evolving system.
Robert G. Hall of the Social Security Office explains that disability benefits can be paid to workers and certain family members based on work credits. Eligibility generally requires five years of credits in the ten years before disability, with younger workers sometimes needing fewer. Apply promptly when disability is expected to last a year or more, as delays affect benefits. Applications can be made by phone at 239-7000 or in person, and medical evidence from doctors or hospitals is required. The representative will help request reports, and the claimant bears any report fees.
