Don't Forget Medicare, Citizens! Don’t forget the March 31. 1966, dead line for enrollment in the voluntary part of Medicare insurance. Approximately 75 per cent of the country’s elder citi zens have already singed for the pro gram. You can benefit tremendously by be ing a member of the plan. This type of insurance will cover 80 per cent of doc tor bills and a varety of other health services over and above the first SSO of expense in a year, supplementing the basic hospital insurance provided per sons 65 years old and above. The enrollment period for persons who reached 65 before the beginning of Jhis year closes on March 31. The people who have not enrolled by the deadline must wait two more years before they Children Know When They Need Punishment We contend that children are well a ware of when they need punishment, whether at school or at home. Not long ago, City Judge K. Wayne Kent in an Indiana town acquitted a grade-school teacher of assault and bat tery charges in the paddling of a pupil. The charges, brought by the parents of a seventh-grade pupil, were dismissed after the boy’s testimony. “I deserved it,” the boy said. Too often parents are responsible for a breakdown in school discipline, for they are too eager to condone misbe havior of their children at school. Many parents have brought teachers and ed ucators into court for whipping bad pu pils for their misconduct. Guest Editorial WALTHAM, Mass.. News-Tribune: . . think about the little chap who delivers your newspaper . . . Doing the routine is a personal sacrifice for a lad who has to meet an obligation while his pals go to the . . . neighborhood playground for a spell of fun . . . Those dollars he earns give him oppor tunity to pay part of his own way, to es tablish a measure of independent status that builds confidence. More than this, the newsboy becomes a ‘little merchant.’ He isn’t an employee of the newspaper, but an independent contractor purchasing a pro duct and turning it over to a customer for a profit.” PORT GIBSON, Miss,. Revelle: “ Os the freedoms left—as we meekly bow before the onslaught of almost complete govern ment domination—the right for a person to earn a living without paying dues to a labor union is certainly one of the funda mental rights.” ODESSA, Texas.

It does not necessitate that one must have been covered by Social Security to enroll in the Medicare program. Persons over 65 who have never held Social Se curity cards should get them at once from their district office. The post office officials will be glad to give you the ad dress of the district office. You must be alert for your own bene fit. Get busy and see that you have Medicare coverage before the deadline on March 31. This matter must not be put off, because the person you benefit will be yourself. Years ago, when parents enrolled their children in school, they told the principal to punish their children when ever they did wrong. When the instruc tors paddled the students, they got a second whipping when they got home. In the large cities, pupils have gotten out of hand. They are carrying around concealed weapons and use them upon the least provocation. It is getting so that few teachers want to take positions in schools located in Harlem, New York. Unless we catch the student culprits in “the seat of their pants” and pour it on, we can expect the teaching situation to become less and less attractive to many good teachers. conceived on the idea that people can’t and won't take care of their own well-being.” ROCHESTER, N.

When it comes to the point of having to guarantee every family an annual incorr then something has happened to this g. at nation.” TOLEDO. lowa, Chronicle: “Times change. We can look back along the years to a time when we paid no income tax, and neither did our friends. Now the Tax Foun dation says Americans work 2 hours and 20 minutes of every eight-hour day just to meet their federal, state, and local tax bills.” PORTLAND, Ore., Daily Journal of Commerce: “For all practical purposes, we have reached a point of full employment. . . This does not mean that we will have no unemployment in the future, but at the present time there are unfilled openings for persons with many skills and know-how in many fields. It may be that as long as pres ent conditions continue there should be some adjustment to make better use of those persons who have retired . . . The skilled workers and executives who have become work-oriented make many plans for the time of retirement, but experience has shown that when that time arrives it brings with it a sense of dislocation and boredom which cannot replace that of use fulness and achievement.” office in northern states came from the South.
