"You Need A Family Doctor"
By The Medical Association
Os Georgia
Despite the fact that rapid
' ly expanding medical knowl
edge has brought a rise in
specialization, to most people
the word “doctor” still means
„ the family physician or general
practitioner.
This type of doctor makes up
the majority of the medical
profession and it is he who
treats the patient for most dis
orders from birth until death.
He knows his patient as a fel
low resident in his communi
' ty, knows his family and his
•” medical background. He sees
his patient through many of
*•- the crises of life and is the
man called in an emergency.
Although most family doc
- tors are general practitioners,
-'■•some of them are internists, or
specialists in internal disorders.
In some cases, the patient is
served by the family doctor
- alone. Often however, the pa
tient needs the skills of other
members of the medical team.
When a condition developes
for which the family doctor is
not trained, he refers the pa
tient to a specialist in the in
dicated field. He may call in
specialists to determine the best
treatment for the patient. If
the patient goes to the hos
pital, the hospital staff be
comes a member of the team.
Through it all the family doc-

I treatment for follow up care.
The family doctor is a defense
against mental or emotional
illness as well as against phy
sical illness. The American
Psychiatric Assn, has repeated
ly stressed the importance of
the family doctor’s role in de
tecting early signs of mental
illness and in counseling dis
turbed patients. Being familiar
; with the patient's environment
and background, he is in a
{strategic position to spot situa
tions that might be contribut
| ing to the patient’s problems
I and do something about them.
Many families have the same
doctors their parents had be
fore them. But, if somewhere
along the way you must select
a new doctor, it’s a good idea
' to get acquainted with him be
fore a medical emergency
arises. This way he’ll get to
know the members of the
family when you’re not too
sick or worried to tell him
about them. Then, if an emer- |
gency does occur, this know- i
ledge should enable him to
serve you better.
Like his fellow physicians,
the family doctor is pledged to
serve mankind. But he is the
physician who serves closest to
the everyday lives of his pa
tients. The horse and buggy—

County Agent’s Column
By ED HUNT
Gardening time is close at
hand and I know most of you
are wondering what varieties
of vegetables are best adapted
to our area. This week I am
including a list of these in my
column.
Don’t forget that it takes not
only good seed but plenty of a
good fertilizer, such as a 4-12-
12. 6-12-, or 5-10-15,, as de
termined by a soil test. You
might consider treating for
nematodes also. This one thing
costs Georgia home gardners
and farmers millions of dollars
loss each year. Treat a spot in
your garden to convince your
self of the need.
Listed below are the various
varieties of vegetables without
any comment on them. If you
have questions please contact
me at my office.

tradition of a doctor who is
also a hometown friend is be

He can help keep you from

you once you do become ill.

Veterans New
Pension Law
Because of the wide - spread I
interest among veteran and
their dependents on the new
pension law going into effect
later this year, The Covington
News today prints the second
of five columns of pertinent in
formation on the new law. Suc
ceeding columns will appear in
the near future. Cut out and
save each column for a com
plete fact sheet. The following
questions, with appropriate an
swers, were chosen by the Ve
terans Administration from the
thousands being asked:
Q. What are the changes in
methods to be used in comput
ing income under the new sys
tem?
A. Income received by a vet
eran or by his widow from any
source, with few exceptions,
will be considered as income
under the new system. In cases
where the veteran’s spouse has
a separate income the new law
provides that all such income
over SI2OO per year shall be
counted as the veteran’s income,
unless to do so would create
a hardship.
Q. What would constitute
“hardship” in this instance?
A. If the evidence shows
that the entire income is need
ed for large and unusual fam
ily expenses — such as those
incurred by serious illness or
unusual expenses incurred for
the education of children
counting all but SI2OO of the
spouse’s income as the income
of the veteran might be re
garded as a hardship. Each case
of this nature is considered on
its own merits.
Q. What income is specifical
ly exempt by law?
A. Eight categories of in
come are exempt from consid
eration in calculating the an
nual income to determine pen
sion eligibility. They are:
1. Payments of the six months
death gratuity by the Service
Departments.
2. Donations from public re
lief or welfare organizations.
3. Payments of compensation
or pension by the VA.
4. Government life insurance
payments and payments of ser
vicemen’s indemnity.
5 Social Security lump sum
death payments.
6. Payments to an individual
TO MY FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS:
I wish to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the confidence
bestowed upon me by electing me to the office of Tax Receiver. I Shall en
deavor to carry out the duties of this office in a fair and efficient manner.
I also would like to thank my fellow Newton Countians for the many
courtesies extended me and the members of my family during my campaign
and election.
I especially wish to commend you outstanding citizens of Newton County
for braving the inclement weather on election day to exercise your privilege
to vote for the candidate of your choice.
Sincerely,
J. HUGH STEELE
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State) Thursday, March 17, 1960
under public or private retire
ment, annuity, endowment or
similar plans equal to the
amount he contributed thereto.
7. Proceeds of tire insurance
policies.
8. In the case of widows or
children of a deceased veteran
there are excluded amounts
equal to the amounts paid for
settlement of the veteran’s just
debts, the expenses of his last
illness, and the expenses of the
veteran’s burial less the amount
reimbursed by the VA.
Q. How does a veteran’s es
tate become eligibility factor
under the new law.
A. It is one of the need fac
tors used in determining eli
gibility under the new system.
It means that pension will not
be paid to veterans who have
sizable estates. (The estate of
his wife and children will not
be considered.) Those having
quite a bit of property will not
be eligible until they have us
ed up some of their estate for
living expenses.
Q. Does this mean that if a
veteran owns a farm or an
apartment house he will have
to sell his property before he
can be eligible to receive a pen
sion?
A. Not necessarily. It
would depend upon the size
and value of that property and
many other factors. The VA
has made no attempt to provide
an absolute yardstick for mea
suring the corpus of an estate.
Nor has the VA set a dollars
and cents ceiling where the
value of an estate will operate
as a bar to pension entitlement.
In each case consideration
must be given to the tvpe of
property, the age of the clai
ment, his life expectancy, his
state of health, the number of
persons dependent on him for
support, and his income from
other sources. A veteran’s
dwelling is excluded from con
sideration as part of his estate
Each case will be judged in
dividually on its own merit.
Q. Does the rule regarding
corpus of estate” also apply
to widows and children?
A. Yes, the same as it does
to veterans. (Where there is a
widow and children the cor
pus of the widow’s estate only
will be considered. Where there
is a child or children only, the
corpus of the estate of the child
or children will be considered).
Detailed information to fit
your individual case may be
obtained from a contact repre
sentative at any VA office.
