JACKSON SCOUT WITH BRAVES
Scouts Take
Part In
Project SOAR
Was there a ghost in the Boy
Scout booth at the Butts County
Fair? Or was the apparition
observed with litter bag in
hand really just a mannequin
in scout clothing?
It could be either, because
there really was a nation wide
scout clean up campaign. It
was called “Project SOAR.”
The letters SOAR stand for
Save Our American Resources.
And the uniform seen at the
fair was plenty busy the day
Boy Scout Troop 80 worked in
project SOAR, clearing trash
away from the Butts County
Courthouse, hospital, and nur
sing home.
The uniform was also seen
September 30 with Norm
Miller, Adrian Devine, and Ron
Schueler at the last game of the
season for the Atlanta Braves.
The name of the ghost who
wears his scout uniform so
proudly is Patrick Powell, son
of Mrs. Willowdean Powell of
Jackson. Scout Troop 80 is
sponsored by the Jackson
Kiwanis Club.
Talmadge Joins
In Cosponsoring
New Health Plan
ATLANTA, - (GPS) Geor
gia’s U. S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge has joined a Senate
move to establish a “catastro
phic” health insurance pro
gram to help meet the financial
needs of families hit by the
high costs of lingering dis
eases.
Sen. Talmadge, a ranking
member of the Senate Finance
Committee which has jurisdic
tion over health insurance
legislation, long has been an
advocate of a program
designed to meet the costs of
medical care for catastrophic
illnesses.
“I have been particularly
concerned about the plight of
citizens stricken by catastro
phic illnesses or accidents,” he
said. ‘They must deal not only
with the physical effects of
these illnesses or accidents,
but also the devastating
financial consequences. Crush
ing financial burdens can and
do affect people at all income
levels. Many middle-income
families have been wiped out
by one serious illness or injury
requiring an extended hospital
stay.”
Sen Talmadge referred to
“the long agony of cancer, the
devastation of a stroke” as
examples of diseases for which
the cost of hospitalization,
therapy, recuperation and care
“can indeed be staggering.”
‘The catastrophic illness
legislation would provide pro
tection against hospitalization
and medical expenses after a
person had been hospitalized
for 60 days or after a family
had incurred $2,000 in medical
expeases,” Sen. Talmadge
explained, adding that the
program would be financed
through Social Security and
administered similar to Medi
care.
“Medicine lias taken great
strides over the past few
decades in coping with the
physical effects of catastrophic
illnesses and accidents, and I
believe it is time we began to
deal effectively with the
financial consequences,” Sen.
Talmadge declared.
