New Year's Wish In 1969
LET'S LEARN
By HENRY L. SELLARS, Pembroke, Ga.
Let’s LEARN TO LAUGH. A good daugh is better than a dose
of medicine.
Let’s LEARN TO ATTEND TO OUR OWN BUSINESS, FEW
PEOPLE CAN, handle their own well.
Let’s LEARN TO TELL A STORY. A well told story is like
a Sunbeam in a sick room.
Let s LEARN TO SAY KIND THINGS — nobody ever resents
them.
Let’s LEARN TO TVOID NASTY REMARKS, they give the
hearer neither the speaker any lasting satisfaction.
Let’s STOP GRUMBLING, if we can’t see any good in this
world, let’s keep the bad to ourselves.
Let’s LEARN TO KEEP TROUBLES TO OURSELVES, NO
ONE wants to take them from us.
And above all, LET’S LEARN TO SMILE AND BE HONEST.
It will pay off in time.
If you will try it in NINETEEN SIXTY NINE.

For a better world by and by.
Some things should never be
put off—and for those of you
who have Medicare Insurance,
the time is getting short to
meet two important deadlines.
One involves the payment of
hospital bills incurred in 1966
and 1967, As a rule, all hos
pital bills are sent in direct to
the insurance company, and the
hospital is paid without any

money being sent to the pati
ent. During the early days of
Medicare there were still a
number of hospitals who had
’not yet agreed to participate in
the Social Security Medicare
Program, and anyone who was
treated in such a hospital could
get no help from Medicare in
paying the bill. However a spe
cial provision was written into
the Social Security Law to
make it possible for those peo
ple to get some payment after
, all. Anyone who had Hospital
। Medicare Insurance at the time
. he was in a non-participating
’ hospital, between July 1, 1966
i and December 31, 1967 can now
■ file a claim direct with Social
i Security for this payment. But
■ the deadline for filing this
' claim is December 31, 1968.
Those who have Medical In
surance for Doctor Bills and re
lated medical expenses have an
other deadline to bear in mind
•—December 31, 1968 is the last
day for sending in claims for
payment of bills incurred in
1967. Anyone who has postpon
ed sending in bills for this
period must do so before the
end of 1968. The bills should
be sent in, even if they are not
all paid. Miss Kaufmann’s next
trip to Pembroke, Ga. will be
Monday, January 13, 1967.
She’ll be at the Courthouse
from 9:30 to 10:30 A.M. Since
this is too late to meet the

Gov. Lister Maddox
Reports People
ATLANTA (PRN) In the
dawn of the New Year, 1 want
to extend to all Georgians my
sincere best wishes for a happy
and prosperous 1969. I also
want to urge all Georgians to
increase their interest in state
government. I want to take
this opportunity to discuss our
method and approach to
governing this great state.
T h e

A d m i n i s- ’

prom o tes
the prin
cip I e s
which come
from the
Bible. The
p raver
service each morning in the
Governor’s Office is not only a
source of strength, but a
symbol of our trust.
The laws of God underlie
all our decisions and our
programs.
Honesty, efficiency and
morality in government are
promoted and required.
And it is with a feeling of
gratitude to God and deep
appreciation to the
considerate leadership of our
General Assembly that we
have come to the close of
almost two years of
unparalleled achievement.
In less than two years, our
State has attained its best
position for qualified teachers.
Expressways are opening
faster than ever before.
Cities and counties are
i receiving more aid from State
I government than ever before.
Programs in mental health
1 and penal reform have been
the most progressive ever
; inauguarated in Georgia in
I recent years.
■ The economic picture has
I never been so bright, and our
industrial growth has never
been better.
But we cannot say that we
are satisfied. There is much,
much more that needs to be
done. We will not settle for
average. And so, as the servant
of the people of Georgia, I
would offer this resolution.
I resolve to do more for
Georgia and Georgians in 1969
through the cooperation of
the people and the help of
God.
As the New Year appears, 1
would like to see new hope
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL. Thursday, January 9, 1969—
given to the children and
adults who occupy our state
mental institutions whose
minds are sick and confused.
I would like to offer more
efficient rehabilitation, more
decent living conditions and
more compassionate treatment
for those in our prisons and
other such institutions, and
give them a vision of a better
tomorrow.
I would like to boost the
resources of our cities and
counties and help give them
the necessary provisions which
would give new stay-at-home
job opportunities for our
citizens who live in areas
which have been neglected by
state government for so many
years.
It is my hope that in 1969
we will do more to expand our
tourist program, increase our
industrial potential, move our
segment of the interstate
highway system into the last
stages of completion, and
open the door of educational
opportunity for our young
people equal to the best in the
nation, as we proceed to new
heights of progress and
fulfillment.
I ask you to resolve to help
in these plans for a stronger,
freer, healthier and more
prosperous Georgia.
