Medicare
| Claim
I Reviews
People who are covered by
Medicare have the right to a
review of their claims, ac
cording to Tom Johnson, field
representative of the Ashe
l ville Social Security office.
I -“Every time a decision is
E made on a Medicare claim,
I the insured person receives
I an explanation of the amount ■,
Medicare will pay and why,” ,
. Johnson said. “If the person
■ covered by Medicare dis
* agrees with the decision, he
can request a reconsideration
by contacting his Social
f Security office.”
Johnson said that the right >,
to review is nothing new. But,
Johnson said, "our studies
show a high rate of decision
reversal on reconsiderations
of Medicare decisions and, at
the same time, a low.,
percentage of requests for®
reconsiderations by benefi- Jr
i ciaries.”
The request must be made
within six months of the date
the person receives the j
original notice, Johnson said.
She is offering classes now
for the spring term in modem

IRS Earned
Income
Tax Credit
More than 230,000 North
Carolinians are expected to
qualify for the Earned Income
Credit this year on their
Federal income tax returns, '
the Internal Revenue Service
says.
Last year North Carolina
ranked fourth among the
states in claims, with 229,106
filers claiming $47.6 million,
an average of S2OB per return.
The increase in claims is
expected due to the easing of
qualifications a person meets
to claim the credit.
Robert A. Leßaube, IRS
District Director in North
Carolina, said, “Anyone who
made less than SBkooo in 1976
and meets certain qualifica
tions can claim up to S4OO,
even if he paid no tax.”
Many of the people
eligible for the payment, the
director said, may not ordin
arily be required to file a tax
return because their earnings
are too low. However, to
receive the Earned Income
Credit, they must file a
return.
To qualify for the credit,
an individual:
1. must have less than
SBOOO in total income, includ
ing wages, salaries tips or
otljer employee compensation
and self-employment income;
2. must have maintained a
home in the U.S. for the entire
year for themselves and at
least one of their children who
was under 19 years of age or a
full-time student, or a dis
abled dependent child over
19. The credit is 10 percent of
of S4OOO or less. The
credit is reduced by $1 for
every $lO in income over
S4OOO and phases out at
SBOOO.

LOVEY
By Mary MacCrmcken. 1976.
Pp. 189. J.B. Upplncott Co.,
N.Y., Publisher.
Children, even those emo
tionally disturbed, are appar
ently endowed by the Creator
with a sixth sense to know
when they are really loved, or
unloved. Deception never
fools their innocent minds.
They know what is for real
and respond accordingly as is
revealed in the tender, t
compassionate, true story of
Lovey, a very special child, by
Mary MacCracken, a very
special teacher.
Miss MacCracken was
very special in that she went
all the way to help eight-year
old Hannah Rosmic, who had
been kicked around by family
and society ever since her

World Prayer Day
To Be Observed
The theme for the 1977
World Day of Prayer, to be
observed March 4, is "Love in
Action.” The service was
written by women of the
German Democratic Republic.
Each year women of one of
the 170 countries and islands
participating are asked to
prepare a service of worship.
This celebration will mark the
90th year in which church
women united throughout the
world have come together for
prayer.
Women of many deno
minations and communions,
many races and languages,
seek to make visible their
unity in Christ. They share
through an offering that will
bring hope to thousands
around the world.
Church women of Burns
ville are cooperating in
presenting this year’s cele
bration and wish to invite all
residents an opportunity to
come together as a group and
delve into heritage topics of
their own choosing, with Dr.
Harley E. Jolley, professor of
history at Mars Hill College,
serving as instructor.
The class will meet in
Room 264, new campus,
Mayiand Technical Institute,
once a week, three hours per
session, beginning March 3
'and ending Mays. 1977. And,
in addition to serving the
interested general public, the
course is sp structured as to
provide certification renewal
for public school teachers.

more like an animal than a
little girl, with all her clawing
apd scratching, howling and
screaming. But underneath
her wild and uncouth ways
Miss MacCracken discovered
a child of intelligence-of even
grace and charm-who yearn
ed for love and acceptance in
a cruel world. But it took
endless love, patience, and
perserverance to overcome
the wtkll of fear and hate that
lay between.
s Miss MacCracken weaves
just enough of a plot into the
story of Lovey to keep the
reader guessing. But we will
never have to guess any more
regarding Hannah's future,
thanks to a teacher who went
the extra mile to make her
future real.

Period Now
In Effect
The one-week waiting
period before a jobless worker
can receive unemployment
insurance payments again
become effective in North
Carolina February 16. Sus
pended from January 29,
1975, through February 15,
' 1977, by the 1975 General
Assembly because of the
sudden and rapid increase of
joblessness at the beginning
of the recession, the waiting
period will apply only to
workers establishing new
claims on or after the 16th.
Workers filing continued
claims for benefits, those who
already have established their
benefit years, will not be
affected by the provision.
Restoration of the waiting
period means jobless workers
will not receive unemploy,
ment checks for their first
week of unemployment.
The waiting week does not
reduce their entitlement to
benefits, however, A worker
qualifying for 20 weeks of
benefits still receives the full
provided he remains
unemployed.-
“The payment period is
shifted back one week,”
explains James Acuff, mana
ger of the local Employment
Security Commission.
Statewide, the number of
workers filing their first
claims for benefits currently
averages between 10 and
12,000 each week. In Spruce
Pine initial claims average
about 100 each week, reports
Acuff.
