Medicare & Nursing Home Care Medicare dues not pay for rou tine nursing home care. Only limited coverage for full time skilled nursing care and other health services provided in the nursing home can be paid for under Medicare. Many peo ple believe that Medicare pays up to a hundred days of nursing home servlcesunder any circum stances. This Is not true. Congress made it very clear that only a ceraln kind of nurs ing home care would be paid for under Medicare. This is the type In which the patient's condition, upon discharge from a hospital, requires him to be In an insti tution for the primary purpose of receiving continuous skilled nursing services. Actually, a nursing home that qualifies to give this service is called an "Extended Care Facility." Services in such a facility are really an extension of the kind of service he was re ceiving in the hospital for his Injury or illness. The Social Security Adminis tration is now working with its Insurance intermediaries to ex amine more closely Medicare claims for after-hospital nursing home care. Many of these claims may be denied. It Is important that eld erly people and their families understood how this part of the law works. The Social Security Office at 401 S. Dyer Street will be glad to answer questions. , County-Wide Soil Survey Necessary by J, P. Covington, Soil Scientist Soil Conservation Service, Edenton, North Carolina In recent months there has been a continual Interest indicated on the part of local governments in many : counties throughout the state regarding the procedure for acquiring an over-all detail soil survey of their respective county. The uses of a detailed soil sur vey are many fold. Engineers -civil, construction, chemical, etc, necessarily have a wide var iety of uses for the soil survey. Many counties are already using the soil survey as a base for tax assessment for the entire county. Wildlife conservationists find soil surveys helpful in planning and developing measures for pro tecting - and improving wildlife habitats. Planners, in coopera tion with local and state health officers, for large metropolitan areas have found soils informa tion to be vital In selecting sites for roads, septic tanks, shopping centers, Schools, foundations for large buildings, underground fa cilities, etc Oil and gas compan ies use soil surveys to plan the routes of pipe lines where cor rosion will be least and erosion control after Installation can be minimized; food processors want to locate their plants where they can be assured of a reliable sourse of raw materials. Inves tors, banks, Insurance compan ies and buildings and loan com panies find soils surveys helpful in determining the soundness of proposed investments, in land. Manufacturers of earth-moving equipment need soils informa tion in the design of special equip ment. Paper and pulp Industries consider the soil survey a "must" and good collateral in their long time investments. Re search workers in experiment stations and colleges use sou information to set up crop and fertilizer studies, utility and power cooperatives, in many in stances, staff a full-time soils scientist to provide them with Information necessary for the moat practical and feasible routes for their services. These art but a few of the many uua of the soil survey. In our specific area, we, as an agricultural community, have a mandatory need for accurate oils Information. The need for Increased production and the coat of farm labor have necessitated the integration of the very latest technological advances in seed, fertilizers etc, with advanced (Sao County page 8) . i M The summer school E. S, E. A. children were given an Invita tion to have dinner at Elizabeth City State University July 16, 1969. Prior to their going to the University , Mrs. Taylor, who is the County Home Agent, was asked by the E. S. E. A. sum mer workers to give a demonstration on table setting. Simple every day meals is the time for all members of your family to learn and practice good table manners and table service. It will help you to be self-confident and at ease wherever you go - in the homes of friends, in a hotel, or at a social gathering. Good manners, especially at the table, will help you to develop an attractive personality. At the end of the demonstration a question and answer period was extended to all. Seasons, Limits Set On Doves and Marsh Hens The Wildlife Resources Com mission has announced the sea sons and bag limits on doves, marsh hens, woodcock, and Wil son's snlpa. The datns and bag limits were selected from a frame work authorized by the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Washington, D. C. First to open will be shooting for doves and marsh hens on Labor Day, September 1. Dove hunting will begin at 12:00 noon and end at sundown dully through out the season. Shooting hours for marsh hens will be from one -half hour before sunrise to sun set. Biggest surprise to game bird hunters is the bag limit on doves: 18 birds dilly, 36 in possession after opening day. The Commis sion was not given an alterna tive to the 18-36 bird bag limit. Biological studies have shown that 80 per cent of the summer population of doves each year are lost by natural mortality by the beginning of the next breeding season, regardless of whether or not they are hunted. The 50 per cent increase in the bag limit this year is an ex periment to determine whether heavier gunning of doves wojld nave a noticeable effect on next year's crop of birds. The In creased limit applies only to states east of the Mississippi River. The Commission, despite anti cipated complaints from hunters about the usual hot weather around September 1, selected Treasury Seeks Savings Bonds Rate Increase The National Director of the U .S. Savings Bonds Division of The Department of the Treasury, Elmer L. Rustad, commented on today's move by the Department requesting the Congress to re move the Interest rate celling on Savings Bonds and other gov ernment securities. , "This is good news for the mil lions of Payroll Savers and oth er Savings Bonds owners throughout the nation. When pass ed Into law by the Congress, this legislative request by the Secre tary of the Treasury would give an extra incentive to those who now own Bonds to hold onto them. To those who have not yet pur chased Savings Bonds it would provide a better personal in vestment for their own futures and for the security of their families, "While redemptions have ex ceeded sales for some several months, sales have nonetheless shown sizable increases for each succeeding month, . The incom patibility of Savings Bonds rates with other forms of savings has been the detriment to Bond hold ings. Thus, this request for en abling action by the Congress would put the interest rate for Savings Bonds on a more compe titive pine." .. If the legislative request is ap proved, the Interest rate on Ser ies E and H Savings Bonds would be raised from the current 4.25 per cent to 8 per cant, if held to maturity - 8 years and 10 months lor I Bonds; 10 years for H that date because research has shown that the birds begin leav ing the State late In August for their southward migration. Ttio peak of the dove population will have been passed by September 1, but this was the earliest date allowed by the Bureau. The first segment of the dove season will end October 11. The second segme.it will run from December 18 through January 15, 1970. Baj limits on marsh hens will be lFj, dully, 30 in possession afUi ' oponing rtiy. This limit may Include any single species or a combination of several spec ies of marsh hens. The Commission cho.se the latest allowable dates for wood cock aad Wilson's snips to take advantage of flight so.' bird scorn ing in from New England states. The woodcock season will open on November, 24 and run through January 31, with a dally bag of 5,10 In possession after the first day, while the season on Wilson's snipe will begin December 13 and ci.il Jiujuy 31. Bag limits for snlp9 are 8 dally and 16 in possession after the first diy. Seasons on dicks, geese, aad other waterfowl are still undar consideration by federal and state authorities and will be announced early next fall. An excellent crop of birds this year is not expected to be reflected in any important relaxation of seasons and bag limits due to an accumulated shortage of birds during the past decade. Bonds. The Increase would be retroactive to June 1, 1969. All outstanding E and H Bonds would enjoy the same benefit from the new rate, beginning with the first semiannual Interest period which starts on or after June 1. Both E and H Bonds would enjoy an automatic extension period. The present 5 per cent rate on Free dom Shares would continue un changed until they are removed from sale six months after the proposed legislation becomes law. Authority to extend Free dom Shares at maturity is in cluded in the Treasury proposal. Mr. Rustad indicated that enactment of the proposed legis lation should give new and far reaching Impetus to the Savings Bonda Program. "The public has always considered Savings Bonds a good buy, evidenced by month-by-month increases in sales, in the face of recent wide spread redemptions, and the still convincing figure of $52 billion outstanding." . ' The rate increase , would U most beneficial to the millions of Payroll Savers throughout in dustry who are putting aside their dollars regularly - saving for new homos, automobiles, college tor the youngsters, retirement, second honeymoons or dream vacations. Mr, Rustad concluded that the new watchword for U.S. Savings Bonds is "bold onto your holdings". Perquimans Chamber Endorses Financial Aid For Health Dept. W, D. Cox, president of the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce announced that the Chamber's Board of Directors has endorsed adequate financial support by Perquimans County of the district health department's p.-ogram. He said that "The future of the program for our county hangs on the slim thread of about $1,300 of our local tax money.'' Cox said that "Because the Chamber's role Is to make this community a better and more attractive place to live, it views the continued services of the health department as a must." Among the reasons cited for the endorsement of financial sup port for the health department. Cox said: "With no doctar resident In this county, health care provided by the health department becomes even more vital. "The department serves all the people of the county and Its pro grams are available to every cit izen, "The activity of its personnel protects all. For instance, one case of TB uncovered, lessens the chance of many other persons getting the disease. "The mam thrust of public health is prevention of illness for the community. If this commun ity ever hopes to lure industry or people in retirement, public health service must be avail able. 'Some of our citizens would have no access to health care, If the department were closed." The district health department, according to its former director, the late W, D. Na;h, will have to close Its doors in Perquimans, Pasquotank, Chowan and Camden Counties, if financial support to meet its needs is not forthcoming for local public tax money. It operates on state a.id local funds and North Carolina has announced the limit of its contributions. Cox said that "Because of the increase in all prices, services and operating expenses, the dis trict health department asked for an increase of 20 percent In ap propriating from the counties it serves. "Commissioners of the coun ties have granted a five percent increase. The state has agreed to reduction in some programs and suggested small fees for lm- PCHS FFA Boys Attend Camp Members of the PCHS FFA Chapter are enjoying themselves this week at the R. J.

He pointed out thatthis enabled the health department to lower their requested increase from 20 to 14 percent. He said, "The dif ference for Perquimans County would be a matter of $1,300." Cox gave this brief review of health department activities in Perquimans County in 1968: Immunizations and Booster Shots: Whooping cough 332, Diph theria 555, Tetanus 6C4, Small pox 519, Measles 215, Polio 548.

Many members of Congress accepted the invitation of NASA to fly to Cape Kennedy and witness this historic event. Congressional duties prevented me from accepting this invita. tlon. Of interest to our First Con gressional District was a House authorization for the Appalachian and Regional Action planning Commission directly affecting every county in our district. This authorization provides for $225 million for projects, with the provision that not less than 10 per cent nor more than 30 per cent can be allocated to any one Commission. The Senate has a similar authorization which provides a larger amount Included would be $20 million for the Coastal Plains Regional Development for the purpose of constructing high ways. This is a authorization for the fiscal year 1970.71 and not an appropriation. Later, the Appro priations Committees and the Congress itself must approve the funding of this authorization. Within a few days, I intend to join with other members of the House of Representatives in introducing a bill to provide ex. tended benefits to law enforce ment officersandfiremennotem. ployed by the United States who are killed or totally disabled in the line of duty. In a period of five years, be. tween 19G2 and 19C7, there were 59 policemen who died in the line of duty in the United States, and in a similar period of time 230 firemen died in the line of duty. Since crime cannot be contained within state boundaries. I think it appropriate that the Federal Government provide all protection possible to the faml. lies of these men who from time to time are-subject to dangers. Certainly, to a family of an offi cer who is killed or dlabled, it makes little difference whether the criminal is a native North Carolinian or a citizen of Chicago or San Francisco. So, responsibility, to some de gree, is a federal matter. This bill will provide that a widow without dependents receive 45 per cent of the monthly wage rate un til she remarries. It further provides that a widow with de pendents will receive 40per cent, and each child under 18 will get 18 per cent, up to a maxlum of 78 per cent of the monthly salary, Chappell Receives Safety Plaque Airman First Class Jerry R.

If there are dependents, thebene fits will equal three.fourths of the monthly salary. I hope, if this legislation Is enacted, that it will encourage young men to enter the all-lm. portant field of la v enforcement. To say the least, the job of law enforcement is becoming more complicated and carries a great er responsibility each day; and this is one way in which the Fed. eral Government can say to the career policemen and firemen, "Thank you for the job you are doing." 1 intend to support this legisla. tion vigorously, just as 1 did in supporting the North Carolina Fireman's Pension Fund and hav ing the personal honor of creat. ing the North Carolina Police men's Volunteer Pension Associ ation while I was a member of the State Legislature.
