;1' ''.'': V, the new fl . n - c O It D Vage Six MAICTALL, N., C, MAT M. S8 By WILLIAM DEANS Mars Hill The Executive Committee of the Mars Hill Col lege Board of Trustees has ap proved a far reaching report de signed to enchance and improve the program of intercollegiate athletics for the college. In approving the five-point pro gram the trustees paved the way for the re-entry by the school in to intercollegiate football; ad ditional help for and expansion of the minor sports; an extensive up grading of the basketball program through scholarships anld ad ditional coaching staff; an en larged budget under a new financial program, and additional athletic and physical education personnel. In an effort to maintain a well rounded athletic program at Mars Hill College, the chairman of the Board of Trustees appointed a permanent committee of three members of the Board of Trustees and three members of the Board of Advisors to study the present and future program possibilities. Dr. Ernest Stines of Canton serves as Chairman of the com mittee. John Corbett of Marshall and The Rev. Henry Crouch of Winston-iSalem are the two re maining trustees on the commit tee. Those from the Board of Advisors include John Wallace from Morristown, Tenn., Howell Fox of Hickory and John Walker of Marion. rne committee urst met lniof the program. February arid has been working1 steadily to bring about a speedy but realistic recommendation to present this spring. The proposal was presented to the student body which approved ft overwhelmingly, 946-15. A like response was received from the faculty and staff. The approval by the Executive Committee was the final step in bringing about the new athletic program for the college. "I believe this will usher in a new and more productive dlay for the college in its athletic pro gram," stated a delighted Dr. Fred B. Bentley, college President. "Now that we have the proper means for supporting our athletic o EYES EXAMINED GLASSES FITTED by DR. LOCKARD 8 A. M. to 12 Noon FRIDAYS IN LOY P. ROBERTS BUILDING MARSHALL, N. C SPRING IS HERE . . . We Have Just What You Need! Self-Propelled and Regular Power Lawn Mowers Drosrram congruous with our academic responsibility we are expecting exciting and productive results for both our students anldl the public." Dr. Benltey stressed the fact that the proposal, as approved by the Board, is consistent with the academic program and will not infringe upon the development of the "Emphasis on Excellence" program already under way. Under the new program, ath letics will operate on a budget outside the academic budget. Fi nancial support will come from the student athletic fees and the further development of the "M" Clulb Scholarship Program. A freshman coach will be add ed immediately in basketball. A full recruitment program is al ready under way and seven ath letes have signed for the coming season. Football will not be possible for the coming year. Athletic Director Don Henderson is pre sently searching for a new head coach and plans to field a fresh man squad in 1969. The sub sequent addition of a full senior college schedule will follow with the development of the program. In the area of the minor sports the committee further recommend ed that swimming be added as soon as possible. The necessary additions to the coaching staff and the physical education department will come with the growth and expansion These recommendations, as . ap proved, represent a realistic ap prasial of the future of intercol legiate athletics for Mars Hill College and serve to bring its IdSrectdon in line with the ten year program of development for the1 college, according to Dr. Bentley.

C. NICHOLS Field Representative Q. I understand that practical ly all hoapitals in Western North Carolina (all but two or three) have qualified and' are participat ing in the Medicare hospital in surance program. But isn't there a provision for some benefits to be paid for services furnished by a hospital that does not take part in this program? . Yes, there is. Even under the original medicare law benefits for emergency hospital services could be paid provided' certain strict requirements were met. Some beneficiaries expected Med icare to cover their hospital care ibut later found that nio benefits were payable because the hospi tal did not meet the conditions for participation or was unwilling to apply for payment, or because it was determined that an emergen cy did not exist. The amended law provides ret roactive coverage for the period July 1, 1966 through December 31, 1967 for both emergency and non-emergency services if these services were not covered under the original medicare law and if the hospitalization occurred in a non-participating hospital tht?. provided full-time nursing care, was licensed or approved' by ap plicable state and local laws, and was primarily engaged in provid ing medical or rehabilitative care toy or under the supervision of a doctor of medicine or osteopathy. Moreover, the recent amend ment retroactively revised the definition of "emergency hospi tals" by eliminating the require ments of keeping clinical records, requiring each patient to be un der a physician's care, etc. As a result, some hospitals previously ineligible will meet the new defi nition and can now apply for pay- rment under the provision regard ing admissions prior to January 1, 1968. Assuming you are now covered by this hospital insurance if you are admitted to a non-participating hospital after 1967 for emergency care, Medicare can help pay for that emergency care if the hospital meets certain con ditions in the law and if it is the nearest or quickest hospital to get to that has a bed available and is equipped to handle the emergency. In such a situation the benefit j payment will usually be made to' the hospital. However, the hos pital may decide to bill you rath er than Medicare; and in that Howard S. Carver Dies In Culpeper, Va.; Rites Today Howard S. Carver, 62, of Cul peper, Va., formerly of Buncombe County, died Monday night, May 13, 1968 at his home in Culpeper following a lengthy illness. Survivors include the widow, Mrs. Mary Carver; four sisters, One of the highlights of the 4-H year in Western North Carolina is the Western North Carolina 4-H and FFA Fat Stock Show and Sale which was held at the W.N.C. Livestock Center, May 7. This project has as its goal to create interest in the youth of this area in beef cattle and to help develop responsi bility and livestock skills. Madison County had only one entry, a Hereford calf named Starlight, owned and shown by Cammie Boss of Mars Hill. Starlight was a Madison County-ite, born and bred. He was bred and raised by Mr. R. C. Reeves and his son, Burder, in the Sandy Mush community. He was fed out and trained by Miss Cammie Boss of Mars Hill. At show time he weighed 958 pounds of graded choice. He stood third in his class and received a blue ribbon. The two calves which stood above him in the class wound up grand champion and reserve champion Herefords. Starlight was purchased by the Asheville Production Credit Association of Marshall, Mr. Cloice Plemmons, manager; and Citizens Bank of Marshall, at a price of thirty cents per pound. The Extension Service would like to see more calves entered in the show next year. Madison County is the second largest beef cattle county in Western North Carolina. If it is to hold this position we need to have more young people interested in beef cattle. SAVE MONEY BY READING THE ADS case the payment may be made to you. For help in making your claim you may call, write or visit the Social Security office. If for any reason you were ad mitted to a hospital before Jan uary 1, 1968 but could not get any benefits because the hospital Idid not take part in Medicare, you should get in touch with our office -inorhprj-- arttf in arty e- vent before January 1, 1969 and give us the facts. Benefits may now be payable. An emergency hospita (not participating in Medicare) now has the option of billing the Medi care program for the covered e- mergency services it furnishes during a calendar year (rather than electing with respect to the individual case, as under the orig inal medicare law). If the hospital formally partic ipates in Medicare before 1969, and if to the services in question it applies a utilization review plan for reviewing the admis sions of hospital insurance bene ficiaries, their length of stays, and the medical necessity for services provided then payment can be made for up to 90 days of coverage in a "spell of illness" (as technically defined). Other wise, payment will be limited to 20 days of coverage. These pro visions are effective for admis sions aftr December 31, 1967.

This ap plies to the one doing the for giving but not for the forgiven. When God forgives us, He transforms us, changing us into Mew Persons yet not destroying our i.'emory. As forgiven sinners, it is to our advantage not to for get the sort of persons we were before we were forgiven our opposition to God, our lack of love for Him, or rejection of His church, our loose living and bad habits. When God recreates us, we still remember the ugliness in our old selves. As persons made new by Christ's transforming spirit, we can look back on the past with a (deep thankfulness for what He has done for us and in us. The marvel of God"s forgive ness is that He saves us from living on a low level. He gives new vision and hope, new inspira tion and power to live on a high er, more satisfying plane. Prayer: I thank Thee, O God, that Thy forgiveness has so changed me that I am a new per son. Though I remember when I was. Thou has forgiven my guilt and made me Thy child. Teach me obedience to Thee, through daily disciples'hip with Christ Thy Son, in whose name I pray. Amen. Roy Reeves, Agent : Phoi 649-2021 . Marshall, N. C ' ; Office Open Eirerr.
