by Joan.ie Cross Dover Grammar School was

the scene of the Grammar Band's annual Christmas par­ty on December 19. The Fox­croft Academy Dance Band provided music and everyone of the young bandsmen enjoyed himself.

December 22, members of the St. Thomas Catholic Church joined members of the Congr e­gationalChurch to go caroling . They made stops at several homes for the elderly and a t

. the homes of the Foxc roft Acad­emy faculty. They were served refreshments at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Thorne. T he group was enter­t.'lined at the hom? of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Derhak after­wards.

The F . H. A. of Foxcroft Academy showed its Chris tmas spirit by preparing boxes of fruit and cookies for shut-ins . This is an annual project of the group.

SOCL<\L SECURITY NEWS Older people who enter the hospital under Medicare on Jan­

uary l or after will be responsible for an additional $4 of their hospital bills. ~P till n~w, Mr. J. L. Guice, social security district manager

sa1d, Med1care has paid a ll but the first $40 of a Medicare bene­ficiary's_ho~pi~lbill ineach spell of illness. E ffective January 1, he sa1d, 1 t w1ll cover all but the fi rst $44. He noted that the hospital bill for an average stay by a Medicare beneficiary now r uns about $600. ·

The hospi t:'ll deductible amount--the amount for which the Medicare, b eneficiary is responsible - -he explained, is similar U: the deductible amounts provided in many auto insurance poll­c~es where the car owner pays the firs.t $50 or $100 of a repair b1ll and the insurance company pays the rest. · .

'l" . . _rle mcrease of $4 m the portion of t11e hospital bill for which ~ Medicare be~e~iciary is responsible r.esults from a provision 1n t.i.e law reqmnng an annual review of the deductible; The first such review, the law provided, was to be made in 1968. The law states that if this annual review shows tha t hospital costs ~ve changed significantly,. the hospital deductible must be ad­JUsted. for the following year~ with any necessary adfustments mad~ H'., $~steps--to avoid small annual changes.

Gmce sa1d ~ha~ when the hospital deductible amount changes, the law requues comparable changes in the dollar amounts a Medicar e beneficiary pays toward a hospital stay of more than 60 days, or a posthospital extended care stav of more than 20 days . These amounts, also, \¥ill go up 1 o p~rcent bei?;inning January 1, 1969. - '

When a Medi_care "Qeneficiary has a hospital stay of more than 60 d_ays, he \1\fl.llpay$11 a day for the 61st through the 90th day, up from_ the pre~ent $10 per day. If he has a posthospital stay of over ~0 days 111 an extended care fac ility , he will pay $5. 50 per day toward the costs of the 21st through the lOOth day. If he needs to draw on his "life time reserve'', the reserve

acco~nt a beneficiary can draw upon -u he ever needs more than !)O days ofhosP.italcare in the same benefit period, he will now pay $22ad_ay foreac?reserveday used, instead of $20 per day.

For .MedlCare beneficia ries who entered a hospital before the end ot 1968, the hos pital deductible amount will be $40 rather than $44, Guice pointed out. Also, th0 dollar amounts fuey pay toward t~e cost of a hospital stay of more than 60 days o r for pos thosp1 tal extended care of more than 2 0 days will be payable at the old rate -'-·even though the services may be provided in 1969, rather than in 1968.

Dear Mrs. King, treasurer: December 10, 1968

To inform you and other members of this club, I am no longer a member of the US Army. On Aug. 31 this year I was, after 23 years of service, retired from the Army at Ft. Devens, Mass. in the grade of Lt. Colonel. I now reside with my good wife and four children in New Hampshire.

There are no adequate words which could express IlfY feelings for the consistent and loyal support of the Mothers ' Service Club thru the many years of my military service. Your efforts have been more than appreciated over the years a s I served this great nation, in Europe, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and at many installations throughout the countr y. In these trying times, it has always been a source of comfor t to me to know that the "folks back home", care, and actively support the young men, and older ones like me, who by chance , or choice, assist i n the defense of this great nation of ours . I t wasn't too many months back that Lt. Col. Allan Jose and I sat on a cot in Vie tnam , and we discussed the tremendous amount of good your letters, cards, newspapers, and gifts were doing--unnoticed.

Mrs. King, for yourself, and all the other members of the D. M. S. Club I can only say thank you for your many years of effort in my behalf. I will never forget any of you, or the pleas­ureand_comfort that I have received over the years in knowing that someone, back home, cares.

My best to all, if there is anything I can do now or in the fu­ture. to be of service to you or to aid the DMS Club , please, please, feel free to call upon me.

Sincerely, Ronald Dugas Lt. Colonel, USA (RE T.)

This man has been on our club file since 1944--23 years. we started our club in 1943. We feel it a very worthy letter to us. These letters help us to want to keep up our work for years to come.

A REAL GOOD NEW YEAR IF-

It would sure be a great new year If our boys could all come home And let them fight their own war In that land across the foam. If all our ships and airplanes Could return to this shore And Santa Claus could spread the news As he goes from door to door. If Russia would mind their business And leave other lands at peace If North Korea .would only The Pueblo and crew release . If Israel and the Arab world Would only come to terms If Hong Kong would stop spreading Those influenza germs. If the hippies and the yippies Would visit barber shops And stop throwing stones and bottles At all our city cops. If the government would only Our-income tax forget Then I guess, we could call this The best darn new year yet.

by Matt Troy All is not honey in wine this

television season. There still is one program on which tends to make this viewer sick, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. This hour of pure 'blah 1

i s led by Tom andDick Smoth­ers, a pair of brothers who have been trying for years to get a television program that will stay on more than six months . You might remember them from the series, My Brother, the Angel. It las ted four months. It's a pity their second try didn't fail in four months. Most of the brothers guest stars are people you have to take a second look at. Most guests look like they graduated from the same kin­dergarten as Tiny Tim, and they have about as much tale~t. P. S. It's too bad a good com­

ic like Pat Paulsen doesnvt join a new show.

Mrs . Marilyn Ronco, Nor-th Street, Dover- Foxcroft has been named Women' s Volunteer Services Chairman for the annual March of Dimes fund-rai sing campaign against bir th defects , according to 0. T. Rozelle , 1969 campaign chairman.

March of Dimes coin collector s are being distributed through ­out lhe county lhis week by Sheriff1s Department to he lp in the annual drive .

I n announcing the o.ppointmenl ofMrs . Ronco, who is in charge of the dental program, County 0. E. 0., Mr. Rozelle said that she is among the eminent leaders in various walks of life in Piscataquis county who have joined forces to insure success of the annual drive.

Anappealforvolunteers to enlist in the March of Dimes drive in Januaryagainstbirthdefectsin the county and the nation was issuedbyMr. Rozelle. He said that men , women ~nd teen-agers were immediately needed to perform ''interesting and highly worthwhile !.asks in the com munity".

"It is difficult to ignore such an appeal for volunteers on be­half of the March of Dimes whenyoulearnjusta few of the grim facts", Mr. Rozelle said . "Each year throughout the nation more than 250,000 babies come into the world wit.l} birth de­fects - - one every 120 seconds. In our State alone , the yearly total of these infants is over 1200. Since March of Dimes med­ical care and research can help many of these innocent children, how can any of us here, even though we have very little spar e time , fail to respond? "

The March of Dimes official added that prospective volunteers were invited to phone CounLy Chairman for additional informa -· tion at 943-2565 or call Paul H. Day, 8 Alton Street, Milo.

"We are indebted to P iscat:tquis County Sheriff's Department for their generous volunteer efforts'' , said Mr . Ro~elle . "When you sec the coin collectors , we urge you to follow this example and contribute to our cause . " The Maine Medical Center, Port­land is one of over 100 centers supported to help fight birlh defects.
