Medicare is a Misnomer
A recent Gallup roll Indicated that a majority of American
favor medicare. But, of great significance, the aame poll found
that a very large percentage Juit dont know what the scheme
would and would not da They believe that It U far mow
liberal and Inclusive than U actually the case. To take one Im
portant example, 40 percent think It would cover the feet of
doctors, surgeons and dentists which it wouldn't-
The fact is, aa many observers have pointed out that me
wry term medicare is a misnomer. It suggests a broad program
for meeting all the health needs of those comtn under it In
stead, it Is essentially a hospital and nursing home program,
and even in those areas the benefits are strictly limited.
So. if medicare should become law. millions of people will
be due for a gr-ave disappointment Along with that the heavy
cost which In all probabilities would be larger than the est!
mates would have to be paid by substantial boosts In the
social security tax rates. M .
We might have to accept these dangers and disadvantages
if medicare was the only way to deal with the medical prob
lems of the aged. But there are other and better ways. N hat
seems to be the best of these is a plan proposed by the
American Medical Association. It would expand the existing
Kerr-MlHs federal-state program and authorize people over
65 to buy private health Insurance providing liberal hospital
and medical benefits. Government would pay part or all of the
premium of policy holders who could not afford the cost if a
policyholder's Income was below a certain level, established by
the state, he would pay nothing at alL A simple statement
of Income, filed with a state agency, would be all that was
needed to qualify. ,
This plan is based on actual need, as any sound plan must
be It would provide much more than medicare and do that
without setting up another Washington bureaucracy- It would
not open the door to socialized or politically dominated medicine,
as many fear medicare would. It meets the problem without
creating new and serious problems in the process.

Happy Easter to You and THEM
Easter means many things to many people. For the little
ones, it's cotton-tailed bunnies, colored eggs, pretty baskets of
-yummy" candies. For the grown-ups, it's flowerd bonnets, the
thrilling story of the Resurrection and the realization that
spring is really here.
And then there Is another group of persons, young and
old. for whom Easter has another significance. These are the
children who cannot run through the house or yard in search
of the coveted eggs that have been hidden, or the adults who
cannot walk in the Easter parade to church. These are Oregon's
physically handicapped, victims of congenital defects, disease
or accidents, who wear heavy braces, need crutches or are limited
to the places they can reach by wheelchair.
To these and they number in the thousands Easter Is the
time when the annual Easter Seal sale of the Oregon Society
for Crippled Children and Adults comes to a close. It Is the
time when the books are closed and the determinations made
for the coming year. How many crutches can be purchased this
year for those who cannot buy their own, or wheelchairs, or
can the mobile therapy clinics that take physical therapists to
many areas of the state be expanded?
Can the Children's Hospital School In Eugene continue to
expand to meet the tremendous need, or will hundreds of phys
ically handicapped children and young adults continue to en
joy a session at Camp Easter Seal this summer?
These are the questions, and we the more fortunate can
provide the answers. ,
Between now and April 18 don't forget those Easter Seals
you received.

A rather humorous Incident

occur more often on such a trip.
One of the busses on the re

of the students. Russ didn't
realize that the bus was going
to depart as quickly as it did.
and when it came time to roll,
the kids loaded and the bus de
parted. None realized for a time
that Kilkenny was not among
them.
When the lone student realiz

FINAL TIDBITS on the tourna
ment: Heppner set another
record at the tournament the
fewest rebounds in a single
game, 20, against Phoenix. This
is quite understandable in view
of the towering height of the
Pirates. The thing amazing
about it is that the Mustangs
came so close to tipping Phoenix
despite the height disadvantage
and the rebound control of their
opponents.
The Coos Bay World gave ex
cellent coverage to the tourna
ment The paper has sent us a
few copies of the editions print
ed during the tournament. Any
players or their families who
would like clippings from them
are welcome to come and get
them while they last.

DICK AND SUZY RL'HL dropped
tn Hnrinff thlr mnrinff vaca
tion for a nice visit and It was
good to ee them. Surv has com
tl..to4 hor wnrk at (1SU and Dick
will finish this year. He Is point
ing towards a coaching career
tnMcad of heading for pro foot
ball and is -now consldcrtnn
some posMbllltle.
Seems Incredible that the Rose
Bowl game was Just three
months ago it eems like years.
It Is still fresh In Dicks mind,
though. He isn't mourning the
defeat OSU suffered, saying
merely that he didn't feel the
team played as hard a it shotld
have or could have. Dick ftni
to think that the long Michigan
punt return for a TD early tn
the game tended to break the
Beavers' morale after OSU had
Jumped to such a good start and
had been leading. 7 0. at the
time. , . .
While at Pasadena. Dick had
a long talk with Terry Baker.
OSU's all time great griddcr who
Is now submerged bv Inaction
with the Los Angeles Rams.
Ruhl savs that Terry has re
signed himself to the fact that
he will never play much foot
ball for the Rams at least while
Svare Is coach. Naturally he is
hurt about it but apparently
never loses face about It. At
least that can t happen to Dick
when he enters coaching Instead
of the pros. '
The Heppner man. who will go
Into OSU' record book as one
of its greatest linebackers, is
very appreciative of the support
that Heppner, Lexington and
Morrow county folks have shown
during his college career and
Suzy is, too.
"There's more thrill in having
your name In the hometown
paper than any other." Dick said.
Football apparently has done
Dick a lot of good. He isn't a
big man as grid players go,
being only around 200 pounds.
But he Is lithe, solid and tanned
even before the advent of sum
mer. ,
We surely hope they get a real
good spot. Some school will get
a real fine coach In Dick Ruhl.

A little shanty of dubious pur
pose has been erected on the
big fill in front of the city hall.
Wags have covered It with In
scriptions: "90-Dav Construction
Schedule Met." "Watch for Ded
icatlon Ceremonies by City Of
ficials," "Peaceful Co-existence,
and "Moonlight Construction
Co."
The report Is that there is no
half-moon in the door of the
shanty.
But despite these differences
and the ribbing that comes out
of the Irony of such a situation,
some day a fine new business
community will blossom on the
site, and the troubles over re
location will disappear with the
passage of time.
