Security Office.)
All of us look forward to
vacation time. For students
this will be for about three
months. During this time
some of them will get sum
mer jobs and others will go
to school for the summer
term. For those who get
jobs, remember that your
employer will have to have
a social security number for
his records and if you have
it when you apply, you will
be that much ahead of any
one else who is applying. For
the teachers who are out for
the summer and are age 62
and over, they might wish
to contact the social security
office and find out about
applying for their summer
checks. If you are not work
ing during the summer, you
could receive your social
security checks for those
months and still work in the
regular school term. Ask the
social security office or your
local representative about
this.
Also, for the teachers who
are or are nearing 65, you
should file for Medicare
within the three months be
fore your 65 birthday. This
will insure you full coverage
under Medicare. If you wait
until the month you become
65 or any of the three
months after you are 65, you
will not have full Medicare
coverage until after your
65th birthday and in some
cases it will be as much as
five months after. You do
not have to stop work to get
Medicare.
Q. I am 66 and have
signed up for Medicare. I
have a doctors bill and sent
in the form to get the 80%
paid. I had not paid the bill
and requested that it be
paid directly to the doctor.
This has been done about
two months and I have not
heard anything. Can you
tell me what the delay is all
about?—R. A., Bremen, Ga.
A. Unless the doctor ac
cepts assignment for the
bill, there is no way that it
can be paid until you pay
the doctor. From your letter
I can’t tell if the doctor ac
cepts assignments .or not.
When you pay the bill, then
Medicare will pay you back
the 80%.
You can’t buy love, but it
can run into a lot of install
ment payments on the ac
cessories before you find it.

SWIMMING HOLE FEVER
Our normal enthusiasm
for that favorite cooling off
place on a hot summer day
can occasionally turn out to
be a coming out party for
disease.
One of the most notable
examples involved a small
community in the state of
Washington. Public health
officials were called in at
the request of a local phy
sician to investigate what
seemed to be an epidemic of
fever. Ih a 54-bed hospital
ten cases of a similar un
diagnosed condition is sig
nificant.
It was in August. All the
sick were teenage boys with
symptoms of fever, muscular
aches, chills, headaches, stiff
neck, nausea — symptoms
you might expect with men
ingitis, polio, influenza and
several others. Blood sam-

pies taken from the ten re
vealed the cause: it was lep
tospirosis and in this case
leptospira pomona, the cat
tle organism, was the dis
ease-producing agent.
Further questioning re
vealed that all ten boys had
been swimming at a place in
the irrigation system called
the whirlpool. Several canals
came together at that par
ticular point and made the
water quite turbulent and
this added excitement to its
cooling effect.
Close to the whirlpool, a
herd of 600 cows were found
and 30 cows were blood
sampled. Twenty-one sam
ples reacted positive to the
test. The leptospira organ
ism is passed in the urine of
infected animals and can at
times contaminate food and
water sources. Os course,
this irrigation water was not
intended for human con
sumption, nor was it passed
for use as a swimming pool.
In total figures, the public
health officials located 594
people who swam at the
whirlpool. Os these, 53 con
tacted the disease. Some
were ill for an extended
time, but in no case was the
disease fatal Similar out
breaks have occurred right
here in Georgia. Swimming
is fine, but don’t swim in
water you suspect might be
contaminated.
