THE
SAFETY
SENTRY
BY JANE DAVIS
Director of Consumer Services
Sentry Insurance
Back-To-School Safety
Children will soon be heading
back to school. Parents should
take certain precautions to
safeguard their youngsters'
health and safety while they
are at school and during those
hours when they are traveling
to and from school.
As an aid to parents. Sentry
Insurance offers several tips:
• Make certain each child has
received a complete health
examination and booster
shots to prevent polio, small
pox, diphtheria, whooping
cough and tetanus.
• Children riding bicycles to
school should be drilled in all
the. rules of the road. In ad
dition, their bikes must be in
top mechanical condition. A
basket or carrier should be
standard equipment to carry
books and lunches.
• Your youngster should be
taught to accept the author
ity and obey those people
hired to protect him—his
teachers, the crossing guard,
the driver of the school bus.
• Warn school children never,
never to accept a ride from a
stranger. Hitchhiking should
be explicitly forbidden.
• Thoughtful parents realize
school is an abrupt change
for a beginner. Explain to
your child what he can ex
pect in school; take him for
an advance visit to meet his
teacher, if possible. If he will
be walking to school, take
him and walk over the best
route, pointing out safe ways
to cross intersections.
Always remember that the
responsibility for a child’s
safety ultimately rests with his
parents. Make certain your
youngsters’ school days are
“good old golden rule days.”
Medical Insurance
Premiums Should
Be Paid Promptly
Time is urnning out for many
who have failed to send in their
medical insurance premiums,
John H. Ingle, Manager of the
Atlanta Social Security Office,
stated today. Although the re
sponse to the initial Medicare
notices has been bery high, there
remains a significant number of
people who have not, for various
reasons, paid their • premium
If the premiums are not paid
by September 30, this valuable
medical protection will be lost
until July 1, 1968. However,
protection under the hospital in
surance plan will continue as this
part of Medicare is free.
Notices have been mailed to
all delinquent beneficiaries re
minding each of the September
30 deadline for payment of pre
mulms. The notice explains
that arrangements have been
made to accept premiums in less
than the $9.00 quarterly amount
from those unable to pay the full
premium.
Anyone who has failed to make
payment should contact the near
est Social Security office in per
son or by mall. In some cases
representatives from Social Se
curity will be in the area cal
ling upon those who cannot visit
the district office and will make
collections at the home of the
CARD OF THANKS
I would like to take this means
to express my appreciation to
everyone who was so nice to me
during my stay at Newton County
Hospital. Your cards, visits and
prayers meant so much to me.
Also to the nurses and to Dr.
Pulliam go my most sincere
thanks. May God pour out His
richest blessings on all of you.

doeth all things well and His will
shall be done.
We will say to his loved ones
that his passing was God’s plan
that death is just a step we all
have to take to be able to dwell
in that wonderful, beautiful, eter
nal life forever with our Savior.
May God be with each of the fam
