Financial Crisis ..... social service . , .!.,: i The rising number of public assistance recipients and in creased medical costs ider Medicaid have caused a finan. cial crisis in some of North Carolina's 100 county depart ments of social services. The State Department ; of Social Services, based ' on estimates of expenditures from now through June 30, announced today in Raleigh that 28 county departments of social services will probably deplete their ap propriated funds before the fiscal year ends. A few counties have already notified the State Department of Social Services that they have insufficient funds to pay for their current social services ex penditures and have no other bounty funds available for this purpose for tne remainder ot tne fiscal year..-., ,-v v Clifton M. Craig, N. C. Com missioner of Social Services, announced in Raleigh today that if the counties are unable to supply their share of the non Federal funds required, the State will have insufficient funds to bay the medical costs of patients who are already receiving Federal Land Bank Has Loans To 41,000 Farmers L. Gary Taylor, branch manager of the Elizabeth City branch office of the Federal Land Bank Association of Ahoskie, has just returned from Columbia, South Carolina, where he attended an advanced management development in stitute, according to A. L. Wiggins, manager of the association. "The institute was conducted to keep Land Bank association personnel abreast of the latest developments and techniques in modern management," Wiggins said. The institute was conducted by The Federal Land Bank of Columbia, S. C. in cooperation with Gus W. Campbell associates of New York, a management consultant firm. Instructors were Gus W. Campbell; R. A. Darr, president; Frank L. Barton, vice president and secretary; and W M, Harding, vice president. "The Federal Land Bank of Columbia makes long-term agricultural loans through farmer-owned Federal Land Bank associations serving every county in the two Carolines, Georgia and Florida." The Bank has loans outstanding to over 41,000 farmers, growers and ranchers in the amount of over $647 million through the 46 Land Bank associations in the four state district." Some of the more important topics presented during the in stitute included developing leadership ability, maximizing management potential and speaking effectively. The Federal Land Bank Association of Ahoskie serves the long-term credit needs of far mers, growers and ranchers in Northampton, Bertie, Hertford, and Gates counties. The Elizabeth City Branch serves Chowan, Perquimans, Pasquotank, Camden and Currituck counties. - William Harvev was the dis coverer of the fact that blood circulates. ;; !; -.-v a rvv- RUST-BUSTER carload special!

The medical services payment to be made around June 10 will be mostly for services rendered these patients in April by nursing homes, physicians, dentists, pharmacies and other medical providers. Under the present social services system in this State, the Federal government pays the largest share of the costs. The State and counties share the remainder. State law requires that counties supply their share of the funds. A court case is still pending against Jones County which refused to appropriate its budgetary share for this fiscal year. The other 27 counties who are in financial difficulties at present appropriated their estimated share, but the rising number of public assistance recipients and medical costs could not be an ticipated. This is the second time this year that the rising number of recipients has created a finan cial crisis. Recipients in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program had to take a cut in payments in January due to insufficient funds. The State and the counties were able to secure additional funds and the cuts were restored in the February checks. It is rather ironic that while it is estimated that these 28 counties will have insufficient funds, many of the other county departments of social services will probably have a surplus at the end of the fiscal year. "Write Hanoi" The American Red Cross is launching a new "Write Hanoi" campaign as part of its con tinuing all-out effort to gain more humane treatment for U. S. prisoners of war in Vietnam. The appeal is described in a public service message elsewhere in this issue of your paper. Like the drive last winter, this one will call on Americans in all walks of life to send letters to the President of North Vietnam expressing concern over that government's failure to adhere to the 1949 Geneva Conventions which Hanoi has signed but refuses to follow in its handling of American prisoners. U. S. and South Vietnam military forces, on the other hand, continue to abide by the POW Convention in handling North Vietnam and Viet Cong prisoners. Latest figures show that 437 American servicemen are being held as prisoners of war and another 1,000 are missing and possibly captured. In recent weeks, the government of North Vietnam has appeared to be easing its stand somewhat by reporting the names of some prisoners. But this action still falls far short of the POW Con vention requirements, which include identification of all 'prisoners, adequate diet and medical care, repatriation of sick or wounded prisoners, communication with their families, protection from abuse or reprisals, and inspection of prison camps by delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross. North Vietnamese leaders are known to be conscious of public opinion in this country, so a great outpouring of letters from American citizens may help to obtain better treatment for U. S. prisoners.

(e) The Perquimans Upgrading Emergency lMedical Care Occasionally the statement is heard that U. S. servicemen in the jungles of Viet Nam receive far speedier and more efficient emergency medical care than victims of ! highway accidents in the states. One reaction to such information is a feeling of gratitude. The men in Viet Nam deserve the best; and, if a choice must be made, the people at home sho uld willingly take second plat ce. In this instance, however, (there's no need to make such a choice. The caliber of emergency medical service's available to traffic accident victims can be improved. The American Medical Association, according to a release from the headquarters of The United States Jaycees, has joined forces with this young men's business organization to stop needless deaths of drivers who have survived highway accidents. Dr. Irvin E. Hen dryson, chairman of the AMA Commission on Emergency Medical Serv ices declares, "We believe that t he Jaycees, with a manpower resource of 325,000 young men a cross the country, can become ( he effective com munity cataly sts in bringing to the attention of the public the need for standardized emergency ve hicle equipment, properly trained medical at tendants and a better com TOTAL munications system between emergency vehicles and hospitals." The AMA spokesman says that all state and local medical societies have been urged to cooperate to the fullest extent possible to provide Jaycee Chapters with the expertise to guide their efforts. . With the active assistance and support of the medical profession there's no more logical group than the nation's hundreds of thousands' of younger businessmen to provide the stimulus for improving the availability of emergency medical care facilities. The undertaking should receive the wholehearted cooperation of every community in the country. . Invest in a good piece of land. Take stock in America Buy US.
