Supreme Court reappor tionment decision Is now a year old and has already shown signs Of aiding the Republican Party. This was demonstrated re cently In Florida where a speci al election was held to fill 40 vacant legislative seats created by reapportionment which was brought about by a federal court mandate. The Sunshine State's heavily outnumbered Republicans swept to their greatest legislative strength In modern times win ning 12 of the empty seats. They made clean sweeps In a number of Florida countles where for merly they held no seats at all and built their total strength to 18 members. The victories gave the GOP two state senators out of a total membership of 45 and 16 of the 125 House seats. Florida Republicans termed the election "the dawn of a political renaissance" In the state and said the outcome shows the people want a two party system and that the pOP can be expected to provide It both on.the basis of Issues and candidates. The GOP National Committee hailed the results as a "major breakthrough for the two-party system and an accomplishment that will fire the forces of good government with optimism for 1064." Similar elections have been held In Georgia and Tennessee where again the Republicans made noticeable gains In the state legislatures. Virginia University Professor Paul T. David, an expert on legislative representation, said in a recent seminar In Detroit, Mich., that the Republican Party ' far from being crippled by the Supreme Court decision, will likely see Its progressive ele ments strengthened.

Locally $2 Million Spent For Medical Care What price medical care in Franklin County? Because of the new medical aid program proposed by the Administration, there is special Interest locally and In other communities across the country In how much people are spend ing per year for their various health services. One thing that Is clearly es tablished, through surveys made by the Social Security Admin istration. -by the Department of Labor and otliers, is that the cost Is mounting sharply. According to Government fig ures, hospital care has been rising lately at the rate t>f 9.8 percent a year, nursing-home care by 8.9 percent, payments to physicians, 6.5 percent, and Outlays for eyeglasses and ap pliances, 2.3 percent. In addition, the cost of health insurance, over and above the amount returned by the com panies in benefits, has jumped 15.7 percent. What It all adds up to, as far as Franklin County residents are concerned, is that they are spending some $72 a year per capita, or 7.3 percent of' their disposable Income, for health services. , Ten years ago, before such costs skyrocketed, they could have bought the equivalent for $54 per capita. The figures ^efer to private outlays only and do not Include expenditures by governments or by charities. Approximately 32 percent of the amount that is spent per year represents health Insur ance payments, it Is noted. Just how the consumer's me dical dollar Is being spent in the United States Is Indicated by a Government breakdown. It shows that hospital care ac counts for 27.6 -cents, drugs, 19.0 cents, Rental care, 9.8 cents, eyeglasses and appli ances, 6.0 cents, nursing and other professional care, 4.0 cents, and nursing-home care, 1.4 cents. . t The remaining 4.6 cents is the net cost of health Insurance, that Is, gfemiums paid minus benefits received. The cost of all-around medical care is now over $21 billion a year, the official figures show. The share of that bill borne by Franklin County residents comes to nearly $2,030,000 a year.

Only an emergency-?rew remained. The walkout was ordered by the Doctors' Association to em phasize the claim that state me dical Insurance agencies pay too little and require too much paper work. Rome's 6,000 doc tor struck, for three days In February for the same reason. Horg, Norway - Leave It to the firemen - they'll save your property If humanly possible. Water lines were frozen, but firemen used snowballs to fight a fire that broke out In a home.
