Cleanup Campaign Planned By
Washington St. Comm. Club
The Washington Street Com
munity Club, at its regular meet
ing on Thursday, March 20th,
began its plans for a Community
wide clean-up campaign which
will extend over several weeks.
The Club hopes to involve all
residents from Clark Street
north through Pratts Quarters
and Texas Alley and from Wash
ington Street west through
Hendrix Circle. Since this is a
large area the plan is to do one
section at a time, beginning with
the area bounded by Washington,
Carroll and West Streets the first
week and continuing each week
until the whole community is in
cluded. It is hoped that the clean
up will be followed by a beauti
fication effort for the whole
neighborhood. This has not yet
been planned in detail.
The clean-up Sub-committee
are Mrs. Cleo Mullins, Chair
man, Mrs. Geneva Foster and
Mrs. Betty Avery who are work
ing with the entire club on the
project.

is sponsored by the Upper Oc-

Paying Two Taxes
With One Check
Causes Errors
Griffin, Ga.-Anyone paying two
Federal taxes at the same time
should be sure to pay them with
separate checks.
E. T. Woodruff, Local Repre
sentative of Internal Revenue Ser
vice, asks all taxpayers who make
such payments to use separate
checks or money orders to avoid
possible billing errors.
Under the IRS processing
system, taxpayers who send one
payment for two returns some
times discover their account is
not properly credited. The en-

War Widows May Get GI Bill Benefits
A reminder that war widows
are eligible for G. I. Bill-type
education and home loan bene
fits was issued today by the Vet
erans Administration.
The education benefits are also
available to wives of veterans
who are permanently and totally
disabled as the result of mili
tary service.
Under a new law which went
into effect Dec. 1,1968, the widow
of a man who died and the wife
of a veteran who was permanently
and totally disabled as the result
of military service is entitled to
36 months of educational assist
ance from the VA.
An allowance of $l3O a month
is paid for full-time training
with lesser sums paid for part
time training.
Unremarried widows of vet
erans who served in World War
11, the Korean Conflict, or in
the Post-Korean period (since
Jan. 31, 1955) and who died In
service or as the result of serv
ice are ellbible for VA-guaran
teed, G. I. home loans.
This eligibility expires July
25, 1970, for World War II wid
ows, with widows of Korean Con
flict veterans having until Jan.
31, 1975 to use their entitlement.
Generally, widows of Post-
Korean service veterans have
20 years from the date of their
husband’s death or discharge
from service to obtain loans.
The VA will guarantee 60 per
cent — up to a maximum of
$12,500 —of the loan obtained
by the widow. Long-term mort
gages (up to 30 years) and little
or no downpayments remain the
principal advantages of G. I.
loans.
The VA also listed some other
benefits of particular Interest
to women:
Dependency and Indemnity
Compensation: Monthly pay-
tire payment could be credited
to one tax and a bill issued for
the other.
Mr. Woodruff said, “If one
check or money order is sent
for two types of taxes, for ex
ample, a 1969 estimated tax pay
ment and a 1968 tax balance due
and the two returns are separated
for processing, the payment might
be credited to only one tax, leav
ing the other tax unpaid.” He
explained that in such a situation
one tax would be overpaid and a
refund Issued, while on the other
tax a bill would be sent the tax
payer.
Mr. Woodruff suggested that
taxpayers put their Social Sec
urity number on all checks or
money orders sent to IRS, to
make sure the payment is cred
ited to their account. Business
taxpayers should put their Em
' ployer Identification number on
5 the checks.

March 31 Deadline For
"Doctor Bill" SS Signup
From now through March 31
will be the last chance some
people will have to sign up for
the supplemental medical insur
ance (“doctor bill”) part of
Medicare, Nell W. Quarles, so
cial security field representative
serving Newton County, reminded
the over age 65 group today.
Persons who did not elect the
medical insurance during an ear
lier period when they were eli
gible to enroll may now do so and
their protection will become ef
fective July 1, 1969. Persons
who enrolled for the doctor bill
insurance but let the protection
expire when they failed to pay
the premium may also re-enroll
now and get protection beginning
July 1, 1969.
Those who miss out on this
chance to take the doctor bill
protection will not have a chance
for another year. Those who
wait three years past their first
chance to sign up for this in
surance will not be able to get
it at all. For some people this
three years will be up before
the open enrollment period in
1970 and this means they must

be able to enroll at all.
There are a number of points
that a person should consider
about enrolling in Medicare. The
premium they pay is matched by
a payment from the government
so that the government is sharing
in the cost of the program. Also
most commercial insurance
companies have policies which
take care of expenses not cov
ered by Medicake so that an
enrollee can get almost complete
coverage from his medical costs
through Medicare and the supple
mental commercial policies. Ad
ditional and important protection
has been provided under medical
insurance by the 1967 changes in
the law. And finally, it is no
longer necessary that medical
bills be paid before a claim can
be filed by a patient.
Quarles strongly urges anyone
who has not yet enrolled to con
tact the social security office if
they have any questions about the
coverage or how to enroll. The
office is located in the Decatur
North Professional Building in
downtown Decatur. The telephone
number is 373-7254.
