plants and seeds, you sally
forth again. You wax eloquent
in your thoughts of man’s role
in relation to the soil; and you
don’t see just a plant being
set, with four green leaves, but
a galaxy of full grown blos
soms, and you become a part
ner with the earth.
Then about half-past plant
ing season, a few of the plants
and a few of the seeds just
have to wait until tomorrow;
and finally it dawns upon you
that as impossible as it seems,
you also have readied that
half-past, and a bit beyond
age. The first few days you
laugh it off as "sore muscles”
which resent being put Into
unaccustomed use. About the
third week, you decide to face
the fact that, you may have a
touch of rheumatism (by any
other name as unwelcome).
But, most frustrating of all is
the time you spend hunting the
trowel, shover, gloves or seed,
that you are positive you left
exactly where they are not. So,
you find a spot in the shade
with a glass of cold lemonade,
and survey the fruits of your
half-finished labors, while you
convincingly repeat to your
self, “My bifocals are wonder
ful; My dentures are divine;
My arch supports give me up
lift — But, now I miss my
mind!”
May is Mental Health month,
and the Fund Raising project,
under direction of Newton
County Chairman, Lanier
Hardman, is in full swing.
With one out of four persons
either having, or needing to
havbe some form of psychiatric
treatment at some time during
their lives, it behooves us to
give sober thought to the sup
port of this vitally important
program of Mental Health.. If
we haven’t sent in our con
tribution, "now is the time”.
It is learned with regret that
Sam Gainer is a patient at
Newton County Hospital. Mist
Peggy Jaynes, Nursing Staff
Chief, is also on the receiving
end Os all the TLC, which she
and the Hospital's corps of
nurses, usually dispense with
such skill. Many (.lends are
wishing both Mr. Gainer and
Miss Jaynes, as well as Newton
Hospital’s other patients, an
early recovery.
A dual treat la in store for
music lovers, Friday evening,
when the Cadet and Blue Ram
bler Bands will present a
joint concert at Newton High
School Auditorium, under the
direction of Basil Rigney. Pro
ceeds of the concert will go
toward defraying expenses of
the Blue Ramblers to Mason
City, lowa, where they will
represent the state of Georgia
in the Music Man Festival, on
June 19lh. It will be a de
lightful evening of entertain
ment, in addition to a privilege
of helping the Blue Ramblers
and Director Rigney, who have
distinguished Lhemselves in
bringing this honor to New
ton County.
So, at 8:^0 o’clock, Friday
evening, we'll see you there,
after we finish the - -

AMA Says
Continued From 3rd Front
‘Please do everything you can
to push the President’s health
plan. My mother’s hospital bills
take every penny I have.’ ”
The young wage earner
might be rudely awakened if
the King-Anderson Bill were
enacted—his mother might be
among the 2,500,000 people over
85 who would not be eligible be
cause they are not covered by
Social Security, or she might
be too young to qualify if oth
erwise eligible.
This young wage earner
might be better disposed to
plead with Mr. Ribicoff to lead
a nationwide campaign for pro
per implementation of the
Kerr-Mills Medical Aid for the
Aged Law, which Mr. Ribi
coff diacredits although he i«
charged with its administration.
The Kerr-Mills Law, enacted
in 1960, is designed to help
everyone over 65 who needs
assistance from government in
meeting medical care cost.*.
Kerr-Mills assistance is not
limited to those eligible for
Social Security retirement ben
efits. Furthermore, it autho
rizes payment of physicians*
services, which King-Anderson
does not, except for physician#
employed by hospitals.
The aged in general have
fewer financial obligations and
requirements than younger
people, have more liquid assets
than any other age group, have
fewer debts, own more homes
debt free, pay their medical
bills faster and enjoy tax ad
vantages denied younger peo
ple. Since more and more of
the aged are buying health in
surance, it hardly seems plaus
ible to contend that they can
not afford it. Nevertheless,
thty are being encouraged to
support a program to increase
taxes ©n their already over
burdened children and grand
children to they can drop their
health Insurance.
Thi# kind of campaign to
sell the King-Andexson pro
gr#m is indeed an inetdious as
sault upon the moral fiber of
the nation. —
Sponsors of the King-Ander
son Bill are exceedingly care
leal with figures. They claim
this program would cost the
wage earners and their em
ployers only $1 a month each.
The fact is It would cost a
minimum of twice that. Actu
aries who are not employed by
government insist it would
cost 2 1/2 to 3 times that
right at the #tart and 5 to 7
time# that within a few years.
Government actuaries seem to
have missed the point that this
program would require an im
mediate double tax increase—
an increase in the tax rate and
■ n Increase In the wage base
on which the tax rate is ap
plied.
Social Security is next in
surance. All the taxes collect
ed are immediately paid out
in benefit# to those eligible to
receive them. If government
official#’ claims were correct,
there would have to be about
300 billion dollars piled up in
the U. S. Treasury. That’s how
much it would take to pay oft
everyone who has paid enough
Social Security taxes to be
entitled to benefits on reach
ing age 65 (including those al
ready 65). There is no more
than about 20 billion dollars in
the trust fund to apply against
the 300 billion dollars of ob
ligations. There actually isn’t
even any cash in the fund. It's
made up of government lOU’s.
The King-Anderson Bill must
be totally lacking in merit if
it must be «old by continued
misrepresentation.
