PAGE TWELVE j223KiAi sism lU || Questions and Answers George Dietrich, field Representative of the Social Security Administration, is in Edenton every Thursday and is located in the Court House. If you are about to send in your first medicare claim for repayment of doctor bills you have paid, a visit to the social secur itl office may help to prevent a delay in pay ment, according to Thomas P. Wyatt, district manager in Greenville. Wyatt says that in the past some medicare pay ments for doctor bills have been delayed because some simple but important bit of information -did not go to the medicare carrier with the request for pay ment. “To make sure payment will not have to be de layed while the carrier writes back for missing information,” he said, “we invite beneficiaries to bring their first claim to the social security office before they send it to the carrier.” He stressed that the Greenville ofifice will be glad to answer questions about any claim, but that the first claim an indivi dual beneficiary makes is the one on which he is likely to need some help. There are two methods of claiming payments for doctor bills under medi care. Under one, the doc tor bills the patient for whatever part cf the SSO dedeuctible has not been paid, plus the 20 per cent of the rest of the bill. He then claims the remaining 80 per cent fr'-'m the medicare carrier. This method can be d only if the doctor ap ■> to it and also at his total charge w’> ! >e no more than the c; onable charge determine ' iy the medicare carrie ■Under the st .o> j meth od, the pa tier.* ; ays the doctor and reo- e ;ts re payment from ■'!«■ medi care carrier. To aow the carrier that tix- ' ill has been paid, the bt eficiary either includes an itemized receipted hill fr m the doctor, or has thj doctor ■how the necessary infor mation on the * quest for payment form. ‘The first time' a bene ficiary has a claim under this second me ,od, Wyatt said, ‘“we sugg st that he let us review i; and make « — ~ rH PURINAH«SiiWM BA^YPICj %L t \ § ■ :..‘ - Hi Last Year Hogmen Started i Over 9 Million Pigs on Purina...

Ely, producer and founder of the theater which over the past 12 years has stag ed performances of Shakes pearean drama for school students. This year’s tour in North Carolina is being support ed by funds provided by several North Carolina banks. To be presented are scenes from “Merchant of Venice”, “The Tempest”, and Henry IV, Part II.” i The production is directed by Ernestine Perrie and i the various scenes are ] bridges by a narrative i written by Shakespearean i authority Marchette Chute. 1 “To educate you often ] fish sticks and portions, halibut and lobster tails were relatively abundant. In canned products, sal mon was plentifuL Scal lops and crabs (including crab meat) were among the few popular frozen items with lower stocks than at the beginning of J 966. All in all, total sup plies should be ample to meet the usual upsurge in demand during 4V >e Lenten season. The per capita consump tion of fishery products dipped to 10.6 pounds (edible weight) in 1966, down 0.4 pounds from the 11.0 in 1965, but about the same as in 1962-64. Con sumption of fresh and frozen fishery products gained in 1966 and, at an must entertain,” Miss Ely said in discussing the new production. "Though if we just wanted to entertain we would do three comed ies in a row. Our aim is to give a real sense of the language and of the great ness of these characters, and to break down the at titude that Shakespeare is difficult We want to show that there are peo ple behind the dialogue and the poetry.” The professional acting company features a high ly-experienced quartet of actors: William Country man, his wife, Anne Coun tryman, Peter Haig, John Bentley, and Carol Mennie. estimated 6.2 pounds per person, was the highest since the early 1950’5. All of the decline was in can ned fishery products which dropped from 4.4 pounds in 1965 to 3.9 pounds in 1966. Consump tion of cured products held at 0.5 pounds per person. There was no single factor responsible for the decline in per capita con sumption during 1966. The higher prices accompany ing lower availability of canned tuna and pink sal mon early in 1966 prob ably contributed to the -decline. The effect of the change in the fasting re quirements of the Roman Catholic Church is under study and will be known later. Reference from Bu reau of Commercial Fish eries.

Each year a 4-H electric workshop for county boys and girls is conducted fay the local power companies and extension agents, ex plains Mrs. Joyce Spoon, assistant home economics extension agent Already the 4-ITers have learned the fundamentals of elec tricity and have made Christmas decorations, lamp cords, miniature motors and flashlight fuse test ers, she says. One Saturday morning the workshop was divided into two groups. While the boys took a tour of the local radio station, the > girls learned about the use i and care of electric appli ances. When the boys re turned, they found the girls had prepared refresh ments: perked punch, pre pared in an electric per colator; pop corn, popped in an electric saucepan; and pound cake with pea nut butter filling, toasted in an electric toaster-oven. Worthwhile "Gossip” They’re playing a new game in Nash County that’s similar to “gossip”, in that you hear something and pass it on to another. Ac cording to Extension Home Economics Agent, Mrs. Ag nes Safy, the idea is the (same. Homemakers are learning in small workshop groups how to fit basic jtauslin dresses, she states. They, in turn, work with similar groups in their communities, passing on the information and skills they’ve learned. Bine Ribbon Tradition While visiting the home of Mrs. Eva Reid, Rt. 5, Fayetteville, Mrs. Jane H. Ross, home economics ex tension agent, Bladen County, spotted a quart of peaches with a rosette blue ribbon on it. Mrs. Reid explained that the peach es were canned and ex-; hibited by her daughter, Janice, as part of her 4-H project. She won the rib bon in area competition. Mrs. Reid said she remem bered when her grand mother exhibited her coun ty fair ribbon winners on the middle front row shelf of the pantry. “We’re continuing the tradition,” she added Displace Fallacies With Facts Burke County homemak ers are making every ef fort to displace fallacy with fact when it comes to food costs. The ladies are discover- J ing how many different forms of the same food are available and the dif ferences in price. .They are considering how much they pay for convenience foods. They are compar ing costs of identical food items as advertising in newspapers from their own and neighboring towns, and they are learning how to figure the cost per ser ving. One woman commented to Mrs. Jane C. Arndt, ex tension home economics agent, “We sure do need to know about some of these ‘hidden costs’ and to think about them before and while we buy.” Tips On Installment Baying “Although install ment buying enable- peo ple to enjoy the use of higher-cost items while M y grui ON SAVINGS MU / fy/ COMPOUNDED ■jp XO yr/J JUNE 30 AND i mA I DECEMBER SO Insured Up to $15,000 By Federal Insurance Corp.
