Exhibition of Commerce and
Industry Io Stress Trade
ATLANTA — Plans for
Georgia’s largest and most
| comprehensive Exhibition of
Commerce and Industry were
I announced today. It will be
1 held from November 22
through December 1 in the At
lanta Merchandise Mart under
the sponsirship of the Georgia
State Chamber of Commerce
with ex-Governor S. Ernest
Vandiver serving as president
and chairman. Governor Carl:
Sanders has pledged his full i
support to the undertaking.
The purpose of the exposition
is “to acquaint the public with
the value and impact of com- '
merce and industry as the most;
constructive force in the for- I
ward progress of the state and ■
its communities.” According to i
the announcement it will port- '
ray “Georgia at Work”, dis
playing products of business i
and industry and providing a
forum for new ideas and plans
of participating firms.
The state's leading manufac
turing and business concerns
are being invited to participate.
The space available in the Mer
chandise Mart will accommo
date approximately 250 ex
hibits.
According to the officers, the
exhibits will be of an educa
tional and public relations
character. No products or mer
chandise will be sold at the dis
play booths and no orders will
be taken for future delivery.
It was pointed out that the
Merchandise Mart is the best
facility in the Southeast for
such an exhibit. Among ad
vantages cited are: a central
location in the heart of Atlanta
convenient to accommodations
for out-of-town visitors; a
huge, modern structure housing
the permanent displays of 1,550
manufacturers with the second
floor and terrace levels, where
the exposition will be held, de
dicated to trade shows and
similar events; a highly trained
staff experienced in handling
exhibits; ultramodern building
appointments and equipment.
The usual attendance at
trade shows held in the Mer
chandise Mart averages 50,000
persons per event. Because of
19-Million How
Receive Social
Security Checks
Each month close to nineteen
million people receive social
security checks in the mail,
according to E. L. Rawls, dis
trict manager of social security
in Atlanta. Among these are
retired or disabled men and
women, their spouses, children
and also widows, widowers,
and dependent parents. “If you
are one of these people, you
probably depend on the check
and expect it to be delivered
on time each month.
It is a real tragedy to most
folks if their checks are de
layed,” said Rawls. “Here are
some suggestions that may
help you eliminate the risk of
having a check delivered late,
or possibly having it return
ed to the Treasury Depart
ment.” he added.
“If you are moving and are
changing your address, try to
give the Social Security Ad
ministration advance notice,”
Rawls advised. “Social Securi
ty checks are prepared by the
Treasury Department about the
middle of each month. This al
lows for delivery early in the
next month. If a change of ad
dress is received in the social
security payment center too
late to process, it may not be
possible to make the change in
time. The only way that such
a check could be forwarded
properly is if the change of
address had been reported to
the Post Office. Therefore, it
is very important that the Post
Office also be notified of any
changes of address,” Rawls
stated.
The report of a change of
address must be made in writ
ing and should include the
beneficiary’s claim numbers,
his full name, and the new ad
dress. All social security bene
ficiaries have been given a post
card form as a convenience in
making these requests. The
same post card can be used to
notify the social security office
of any important change in
status which could stop or hold
up a person's check. Examples
of these are the remarriage of
a widow, the death of a bene
ficiary, or excessive earnings
during the year. Additional
post cards may be obtained
from any social security office.

School Lunch Week
Slated for October
President John F. Kennedy
has issued a proclamation de
signating October 13 through
19 as National School Lunch
Week.
The proclamation was issued
by the President “to increase
public understanding and
awareness of the significance
of the school lunch program to
the child, to the home, to the
farm, to industry, and to the
Nation.”
The national school lunch
program, approved by Congress
in 1946, has become the largest
single food service in the na
tion, according to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The
program now serves one out of
every three children in U. S.
schools. It is a billion dollar
business.
The program, although ad
ministered by USDAs’ Agri
cultural Marketing Service in
cooperation with state depart
ments of education, continues
essentially as a community
effort. Evidence of this is that
local citizens operate school
lunch programs in some 68,000
public and private non-profit
schools in the 50 states and U.
S. territories.
The Agricultural Marketing
Service contributes some cash
and food to schools participat
ing in the national school lunch
program. This contribution ac
counts for only about 20 per
cent of the total program cost.
More than 75 percent of the
food used in the program is
purchased locally by the parti
cipating schools, thereby pro
viding an expanding market for
U. S. farm products.
Schools taking part in the
national program follow a
menu pattern designed by the
Agricultural Marketing Service,
based on nutritional research.
Using this pattern as a guide,
local school lunchroom man
agers plan their menus to in
clude the proper quantities of
protein-rich foods, fruits and
vegetables, bread, butter or
margarine, and milk. These are
: known as Type A lunches
i which provide from one-third
, to one-half of a child's daily
| food needs. In comparison,
I studies have shown that a la
carte lunches usually fall far
I below the Type A lunch in
' supplying the child's nutritional
needs.
Three basic requirements for
; school participation in the na
, tional school lunch program
| are that the lunchroom be
operated on a non-profit basis,
that fre» or reduced-price
i lunches be provided for child
ren determined by local school
officials to be unable to pay
I the full price, and the iunche:

MEDICAL RELIEF PROGRAM NOT WORKING
by Ivan A. Nestingen JfeSPt
Under Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Three years ago Congress ap
proved a Medical Assistance for
Aged (MAA) program to try to
help the medically needy among
our nearly 18 million people 65
and over.
It was hailed by some, includ
ing the American Medical Asso
ciation, as the bridge for the
serious gap between the low in
comes of most older people and
their increasing need for costly
medical care.
Under the Kerr-Mills law
which set up the MAA program,
it was left to each State to de
cide whether it wanted to put a
program into effect for its citi
zens. Then, if it did, the Federal
Government would provide part
of the money — ranging from
50 to 80 percent — to pay the
cost of providing the care.
Also, it was left to each State
.— within its own financial abil
ity — to decide how much and
what kind of medical care it
would provide its older people.
The Kerr-Mills law set only
one major limitation on how a
State operated its MAA pro
gram. It could not pay for care
for anyone who wasn’t consid
ered “medically needy.” The
law said a “medically needy”
person was one whose income
and resources were too high to
qualify for regular Old-Age As
sistance payments, but still too
low to cover the costs of any
needed medical care.
Unfortunately, after three
years of trying to make MAA
work on a Nationwide basis, the
program has been, at best, only
mildly successful. And, there is
no reason to believe the situa
tion will ever improve much.
This can easily be seen from
two facts. In the two and a half
years since the program got
under way, half of the States
had not set up MAA programs
for their older citizens. And, in
most of the States where MAA
has been established, the pro
grams are very limited.
For example: In a number of
the States, the care available is
limited to a very short period of
hospitalization. Tennessee and
Kentucky, for instance, provide
only up to 10 days’ care and
then only in case of an acute ill
ness and not for a chronic
condition.
served meet the basic Type A
pattern.
The rapid development of the
national school lunch program
since 1946 is in itself testimony
for the success of this coopera
tive movement administered by
Federal, State, and local autho
rities. It is producing strong,
well-fed youth, more income
for the farmer, a huge market
for food trades, jobs for lunch
room personnel, employment
for related industries, a good
outlet for abundant commodi
ties, and a healthier, wealthier
nation.
The Agricultural Marketing
Service says widespread comm
unity support and local interest
are the key factors for contin
ued growth and maximum suc
cess of the national school
lunch program.

KILLING TREES
Trees on the home lot are
often killed because of plow
ing and digging around them.
Forester Dorsey Dyer of the
Extension Service says this in
jures or kills many feeder
roots. The damaged feeder
roots weaken the tree by lim
iting the amount of water and
nutrients absorbed through the
roots.
TREE FARMS SURGE
During 1961. forest products
industries, farmers and other
landholders in the Southern
Pine producing states develop
ed nearly 2000 additional "Tree
Farms.” embracing about 21-2
million acres. States involved
are Alabama. Arkansas, Flor
ida. Georgia. Louisiana. Miss
issippi, North and South Caro
lina. Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Toxas and Virginia. Together,
they have more than two
thirds of the nation’s total “tree
farm” acreage.
Here are some of the other
limitations in the 25 MAA
States:
— Half of these States do
not provide care to any of
their older citizens if their
yearly income is more than
$1,200. About half do not
provide MAA where the
yearly income of a couple
exceeds $2,000.
— About two-thirds of the
States do not provide MAA
if a single person's liquid
assets exceed SI,OOO or if
a couple's assets exceed
$1,500.
— All but one of the States
limit the cash value of life
insurance a person may
hold and still receive medi
cal assistance. Four dis-
Ivan A. Nestingen
qualify persons if the cash
value exceeds more than a
specified amount ■— as low
as SSOO for a couple in New
York State.
— Thirteen States make
MAA payments only after
it has been found that close
relatives are unable to pay
for medical-care expenses
which the older person can
not pay himself.
Furthermore the MAA pro
grams in the States are proving
to be — in the words of the New
York Times — “an administra
tive monstrosity.” This is no
wonder. Each State has a sep
arate administrative problem.
And, there is need for annual or
biannual appropriation of funds
by each State and the Federal
Government.
THE CHESTNUT HARVEST
There aren't many chestnuts
in Georgia anymore, but the

them will be harvested this

And, of course, there is the
need to check up on each person
applying for care to see if he
meets the income limits and is
truly “medically indigent.” As
a result of this administrative
work, we find that six States
are spending at least 25 cents of
every dollar spent under MAA
for administration rather than
to pay benefits.
Tennessee spent 60 cents to
administer its program in
1962 for every dollar it
paid out in benefits. Loui- '
siana, Kentucky, and Ore
gon all spent nearly 30
cents on administration for
every dollar it paid in bene
fits in 1963.
Thus, there can be little doubt
some better way must be found
to assure today’s and tomor
row’s older citizens with a
means of getting needed medi
cal care.
To deal with the urgent need
for a program, President Ken
nedy has urged Congress to ex
tend the social security system
to provide health insurance to
people 65 and over.
Under the President’s plan,
you would pay a small amount
into social security while you’re
working and you would be en
titled to hospital, nursing home,
home health care and diagnostic
services after you reach 65.
This is not “socialized medi
cine.” It is the American way.
The government itself will not
provide any services whatso
ever and would not interfere
with the practice of medicine or
the relationship between doctor
and patient. Like Blue Cross,
the proposed program would
merely provide the means
through which the contributions
of worker and employer —
about 25 cents a week for an
average worker — would pay
for hospital costs in retirement.
Your Congressman
wants to know how you
stand on the bill to provide
hospital insurance for
older Americans through
Social Security. Write to
him. Also, for further in
formation, write the Na
tional Council of Senior
Citizens, 1627 K St., N.W.,
