tKnow Your Social Security John CufUu, Field ItymoUttn of the Social TB3I SOCIAL SECBMTY i, ' Social Security District • Manager in Greenville, Thomas F. Wyatt, remind ed local medicare bene ficiaries today that doctor bills sent to the medicare carrier for repayment must be itemized and must be marked paid. Pilot Life Insurance Company, the carrier that handles medicare doctor bills in this area, cannot make payment for bills that are not receipted or that show only “services rendered,” he said. When a beneficiary sends his re- quest for payment form with an unitemized or un paid bill to the medicare carrier, payment of his ► claim may be delayed while Pilot Life writes back for a new bill. Wyatt explained that there are two methods of payment under medicare doctor bill insurance. When the doctor agrees, the “as- If You Are In The Market For A Home... CONTACT THE WEST W.

The doctor sends the request for payment form to the carrier and bills the beneficiary- only for the part of the bill that medicare doesn’t cover. With the second method the same request for pay ment form is used, but the patient himself sends the claim to the carrier after paying the doctor’s bill. When the beneficiary is going to send the claim to the medicare carrier him self, he fills out the first part of the request for payment form and then has the doctor complete the second part of the form showing the services and the charges to the patient. If the doctor does not fill out the second part of the form, however, the benefi ciary must enclose tin item ized receipted bill. “When a bill is enclosed,” he said, “it is very im- I THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, INI. portant that it show, not only the charges, but what specific services were giv en to the patient and on what date. The bill must also be marked paid.” Wyatt emphasized that a beneficiary who sends in an itemized receipted bill shot’d also be very care ful zo complete all blanks on the top part of the request for payment form including the “description of illness.” Here, he said, the beneficiary should simply put down why he went to the doctor or in his own words what was wrong with him. “Because some benefici aries seem to be confused or have questions about making a claim for pay ment c 2 their doctor bill benefits,” he said, “we are inviting beneficiaries to come in and see us when they make their first claim. We will be happy to check their form and make sure that all of the necessary information has been included, and at the same time v/e can answer any questions they might have.” Changes Noted In Clerk Office i Mrs. Lena M.

Stats University Welcome the galaxy of exciting color for America the Beautiful in 1968. Ev ery gardener should have the best and here they are, new All-America se lections for 1968. Better place your order eayly with your favorite seed firm be cause the seed supply is usually limited the first year of introduction. Three of the flowers are hybrid geraniums, two are hybrid American marigolds, one is a giant cactus-flow ered hybrid zinnia of unique cherry-rose color, cne is a dazzling red ver bena and the other is a golden plume celosia pyra mid plant flowering form. The 1968 award-winning vegetable is a long, slen der, dark green hybrid cu cumber which is highly re sistant to the cucumber worries of mosaic and scab. The crisp flesh and attractive shape hold. It does not develop a bulge or Jumbo. A cool salad delicacy. The vigorous hybrid ge raniums from disease - free seeds are true to color in this new Carefree group. Silver medals go to the “Carefree Scarlet,” a rich orange-red, and “Carefree Deep Salmon.” A bronze medal to “Carefree Bright Pink,” an intense rose pink. Zinnia “Wild Cherry” is the other silver medal winning flower for 1968. Os unique cherry-rose col oring, this giant caotus fiowered hybrid shows its good breeding. To six in ches across, with good depth and petals beauti fully quilled, “Wild Cher ry” is an especially pro lific bloomer of vigorous bushy habit. Plants grow about IVz feet tall with Unnecessary Tourist—This is a very dangerous cliff—why don’t you put up a danger sign? Native Well, stranger, we did have a sign once, but nobody fell over, so we took it down. strong stems to hold the many large flowers above the foliage. It is the only zinnia of this attractive color and the quilled form keeps the large blooms airy and graceful for ar rangements as well as in the garden. Celosia plumosa “Gold en Triumph” is the strik ing golden yellow counter part to the most popular of all celosias in the scar let “Forest Fire.” About two feet or taller, bloom ing in a pyramid of golden plumes, the big central plume is surrounded by as many as 10 smaller side plumes on sturdy, compact plants. Widely adapted, so easily grown and prac tically disease - free, these colorful free-blooming fav orites are being much more widely grown. These ce losias are excellent for mass color outside, long lasting cut-flowers and al so for dried flowers in doors. Two outstanding hybrid American marigolds are awarded for new superior ity. Both are what are termed the new hedge type, being of uniform compact bushy habit and height of about 18-24 inches. The large double carnation type flowers are borne profuse ly on top of the foliage, considerably earlier than the taller giant marigolds and still bloom on through the growing season. Marigold “First Lady” is the hybrid bright yellow with three-inch flowers. Dwarfer, earlier, some what smaller than “Yellow Climax,” it makes a bril liant display even in northern short - season lo cations. Its uniformity and color profusion atop rich green foliage are not ably striking. Marigold “Orange Jub ilee” is the rich orange companion to the popular 1967 winning hybrid “Golden Jubilee.” These, with the gay “First Lady,” provide us with the three marigold colors in double carnation - flowered, earlier blooming hedge type mari golds. Orange Jubilee, with its uniform bushy growth, much larger flow ers and hybrid vigor is of deepest and richest color, for cutting as for color dis play. They make this truly American flower more desirable than ever before. Verbena “Blaze” is the winning finalist of these popular flowers, it is the most brilliant dwarf com pact verbena and more dazzling than “Dazzle” and larger flowered. Some florets show a speck of a white eye but we call it a solid self-colored bright scarlet with reflecting light. It is one of the same dwarf growth as the 1966 winning blue “Ame thyst,” about six inches tall by 12 to 15 inch ( GOING I [ m STEADY MEDICAL RESEARCH has produced amazing new drugs that have all but eliminated death from childhood diseases of scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and smallpox.

"Blaze” is exciting for ground cov er or edging. A real dazzler. The hybrid cucumber “Spartan Valor” is an at tractive dark green slicing type that retains its slen der cylinder shape. All- America trial reports show its length to be eight to .eter of two to two and cne-half inches. This crisp fleshed white spine type is highly resistant to mosaic and scab and very free from color mottling or specking. A vigorous pro ducer with short vines and concentrated fruiting, tak ing less space in the gar den or field. It is highly recommended as a new slicing type. t—B
