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 people believe that Medicare pays up to a hundred days of nursing home services under - all clr cunfttancea. This Is not true. Congitess made it very clear that only a- certain kind of nursing home care would be paid for under Medicare. This is the type case in which the patient's condition, upon discharge from a hospital, requires him to be in an institution fortthe primary purpose of receiving continuous skilled nursing sendees. - ' A nursing home that provides this service is caltakan "Ex tended Care Facility". Services in such facility are really an extension of the kind of service he was receiving in the hospital tor nia injury or illness. The (Social Security Administration Is now working with the Insurance companies that handle Medicare claims to examine more closely clahna for after-hospital mining noma care. v Man? of these claims may be denied.

"Including Maverick in both the two-door and the four-door version, our one-two small car punch gives us the strongest entry in the industry in this in creasingly important market," he said. Pinto sports the flair and style of its stablemates - Mustang and Maverick - while targeting in directly on the size and economy characteristics of the leading imported cars. Smallest of the domestic subcompacts, Pinto is four in ches longer, eight inches wider and seven inches lower than the leading import. Ford Division's spacious "mini" car. also offers more interior room, including five inches more rear seat knee room and six inches more front seat shoulder room.

Standard features include a floor-mounted, four-speed, fully synchronized transmission; sports-car-type rack and pinion altering; bucket seats, and 15 colors ranging from Pinto Gold to Model T black. The 1971 Mustang - most changed since the original model six years ago - features a sports car feel and a European design flavor. The uniaue "flat roof" of the Sports' Roof models and the distinctive "tunnel backlite" of the high-fashion hardtop highlight Mustang design changes. Mustang's power comes from nine engines beginning with the 145- horsepower, 250-c.i.d. Six to the 375-h.p. version of the 429 4V powerhouse.
