Senior Aides Project
Celebrate First Anniversary
The month of November
1973 is most significant to the
Senior Community Service
Aides Project, sponsored by
the National Retired Teachers’
Association and the American
Association of Retired Persons,
having started in the Augusta
area November 1972. This
Project places persons 55 years
of age and older, with limited
income ($2200.00 per year as a
single person, or $2900.00 in a
family of two) into jobs with
non-profit organizations in
community or public service.
These positions are on-the-job
training, where the person
works 20 hours per week with
a starting pay of $1.60 per
hour, paid by the sponsors.
This is a Federally Funded
Project for Senior Citizens who
are willing and able to work.
The first Enrollee began on
November 30, 1973. The
Statistical breakdown is as
Georgia Citizens Warned
Os Night Fire Dangers
Primitive men sat huddled in
dark caves until they found
that fire brought heat and light
to brighten their environment.
They also found that unless
fire was controlled it would
very likely kill them as they
dept -- so they were on their
guard.
Os the approximately
12,000 people who died in
fires in the U.S. last year and
the more than 200 that died in
Georgia, 9 out of 10 died at
home, at night, and they died
not from the fire itself, but
from the smoke and toxic gases
which are fire’s by-product -
they were not on their guard.
In many of these instances,
tragedy could have been
averted if simple precautions
had been taken and if the
homes had been installed with
an early warning smoke and
heat detection device.
Because fatal fires in houses
and apartments occur most
often between midnight and 6
a.m. when occupants are
sleeping, it is most important
to have a fire escape plan with
which every member of the
Noonday Film
Program
On Tuesday, November 27,
the films “Blue Men of
Morocco” and “Secrets of the
Bee World” will be shown at
the Augusta Library’s weekly
series of film programs “The
World in Films” in the
Auditorium at 12:10 p.m.
A strange and nomadic
people who will roam the
wastes of the Sahara with their
camels is presented in “Blue
Men of Morocco”. This film
shows how they get their name
from the dye which they use to
color their clothing. Cut off
from civilization by the Atlas
Mountains, they make their
living from raising and selling
camels which also provide milk
and butter for the tribe.
“Secrets of the Bee World”
is another presentation of the
“Secrets of Life” series by the
Walt Disney organization. It
shows how the hive is built and
explains the complicated social
system which bee colonies
observe with the queen, the
drones, the workers living and
working together.

Project Director Joseph T.

“The reflections over the last

from the cooperation that this

Norman Simowitz, Chairman
of County Commission; Mr.
Louis F. Heckman, Manager of

many local City and

family is familiar. The
Insurance Information
Institute in co-operation with
he Georgia Fire Marshal’s
Office suggests that escape
plans include at least the
following rules as outlined by
the National Fire Protection
Association:
1. Carefully figure out at
least two routes to the outside
from every room in the house
- especially bedrooms. For
upper floor escape, allow for
fire blocking stairway or hall
and instead plan to use
porches, rooftops or approved
escape ladders.
2. Be sure exit windows
work easily, are low and large
enough to climb through, and
are not blocked by
hard-to-move furniture.
3. Get everyone in the habit
of sleeping with bedroom
doors closed. This will hold
back flame and smoke for
those few extra moments vitAi
for escape.
4. Pre-arrange an alarm
signal to rouse others if fire is
suspected -- bang on wall, blow
bedside whistle.
5. Pick an outside assembly
point where the family will
meet and always observe the
rule “Once out...stay out”.
Once everyone is out safely,
call the fire department from a
neighbor’s phone or street
alarm box. Never stay inside a
burning house to make the call.
There are many other
safeguards which can be taken

Jobs For Disabled
Vietnam Vets Sought
A nationwide effort to find
suitable and rewarding jobs for
Vietnam Era disabled veterans
has been launched by the
Veterans Administration, the
National Alliance of
Businessmen and the
Department of Labor.
Acting on a letter from
President Nixon in which he
expressed great concern for
suitable careers for disabled
veterans, VA Administrator
Donald E. Johnson this week
mailed employment
questionnaires to 41,000 of the
368,000 Vietnam Era veterans
who have service connected
disabilities. The questionnaire
is designed to identify veterans
who want further training to
qualify them for jobs or who
want help in finding suitable
jobs, and will be sent to all
disabled Veitnam Era veterans
during the coming months.
“Special help - over and
above GI Bill education - is
available to veterans with
service connected disabilities,”
Johnson explained. “This is a
follow up to insure that the
full spectrum of VA benefits
has been used to the maximum
toward helping the individual
veteran overcome disabilities.”
The Veterans
Administration is permitted by
cunent legislation to pay
disabled veterans who are
drawing compensation an
additional $l7O per month
Medicare Hospitalization
Increases
HEW Secretary Caspar W.
Weinberger announced
today that a Medicare
beneficiary will be responsible
in 1974 for the first SB4 of his
hospital bill, an increase of sl2
over the present amount.
The law does not give the
Secretary any discretion in
setting the Medicare hospital
deductible but requires him to
determine it for each year on
the basis of the average daily
cost of hospital care under the
program. The base year is a
calendar year preceding the
prescribed time for the
to prevent firbs before they
start. Periodic inspections of
the premises by electricians,
heating equipment servicemen,
and local firemen can catch
potential firetraps before they
cause damage. The cleaning out
of trash from basements, attic
and storage rooms, as these
areas often become the starting
point of home fires. However,
the most important precaution
is a fire consciousness on the
part of each member of he
family to look for and be
prepared for the dangers of
fire.
important idea which they
learned through some personal
experience. Important
elements include thesis,
organization, phrasing, use of
detail, word choice, and
originality. Length should be
between 1,000 - 2,000 words.
Entries in the poetry
competitions may contain one
to five poems. Important
qualities include orginality,
insight, and technical ability.
There are no requirements as
to form or content.
Contest rules may be
obtained through the AC
English Department or from
school principals.

while they are in school. The
monthly stipend, which is
increased when there are
dependents, is in addition to
VA payments for tuition,
books and other expenses, and
it does not affect
compensation payments that
range from S2B (for a 10
percent disability) to as high as
$1,232 (for 100 percent when
loss of limbs is involved).
The 66,000-member
National Alliance of
Businessmen is developing job
openings for disabled veterans
to be identified by the VA
survey. The Department of
Labor is cooperating through
its state employment offices.
Veterans who respond in the
survey that they want a job or
job training will be contacted
immediately by VA counselors.
Those who want jobs will be
referred to a NAB job opening.
Suitable job training programs
will be found for others. Va
counselors will carefully assess
each veteran’s physical
capacity, job skills and
qualifications before making
referrals.
Unemployment among
disabled veterans is estimated
at 14 percent. Administrator
Johnson expressed confidence
that the rate could be lowed
considerably and kept down
through the cooperation being
extended by the nation’s
business enterprises.
Secretary’s annoucement.
Thus, the current increase is
based on 1972 data and
reflects increased hospital costs
in that year.
When the hospital
deductible amount changes,
the law requires the Secretary
to make comparable changes in
the dollar amounts a Medicare
beneficiary pays toward a
hospital stay of more than 60
days, or a posthospital
extended care stay of more
than 20 days.
In 1974, when a Medicare
beneficiary has a hospital stay
of more than 60 days, he will
pay s2l , day for the 61st
through the 90th day, up from
the present $lB per day. If he
has a posthospital stay of over
20 days in an extended care
facility, he will pay $10.50 per
day toward the cost of the 21st
day through the 100th day, up
from the present $9 per day.
If a Medicare beneficiary
ever needs more than 90 days
of hospital care in the same
benefit period, he can draw on
his “lifetime reserve” of 60
days, and will pay $42 for each
day used instead of the present
$36 per day. Secretary
Weinberger also explained that
the increase is consistent with
the Cost of Living Council’s
policy governing price
adjustments in the health
industry.

“American’s brightest
Collegians”.
He told the students, guests
of the Graduate School
Visitation Day Program, “Out
of thousands of hard working
students you made it”.
But, he said, with
achievement comes the
responsibility of putting your
education to work for your
fellow man.
“What do you plan to do for
the person who is not as smart
as you are, or who has been
beaten down by the system?”
he asked.
The Black gifted graduate of
today faces the most
challenging era facing Black
people in the history of our
nation, he said.
“A Nation which can put
men on the moon can no
longer explain to the world
why some children do not have
shoes,” he said. “Our going to
the moon merely points up the
inadequacies here on earth.
Our chance for happiness is
here.”
The young generation must
take what some have called the
“technological Frankenstein”
of our society, strip it down to
basic humanness and shape it
to serve man.
