April 1 Deadline Set on Medicare's Doctor Bill Plan FlHnrW mrsnns will pet let ters this month reminding them that thev have only until April 1 to sign up for the voluntary doctor bill insurance under Med icare. In the letter, Robert M. Ball, Commissioner of Social Security, points out that for many of those who missed out on pre vious opportunities to sign up, the period from now to the end of March will be the last chance to get the protection. This in ninHo nprsnn"! who were born October 1, 1901, or earlier, and those who were enrolled, in tne program earlier, but dropped out January 1, 1967, or before, with thp doctor bill insurance part of Medicare, elderly people can supplement ineir oasic Hos pital insurance protection with ni-ritnntinn that helns Dav doc tors' and surgeons' bills and a wide variety - ot otner meaicai expenses. In 1937, Commission er Ball points out. It helped pay some 26 million medical bills and in 1968, another 33 million bills, mainly for phys icians' services. Almost 19 million of the el derly are signed up for the pro tection, but about another mil lion do not yet have the pro tection. The Social Security Ad ministration is able to send the Commissioner's letter to 800,000 of them those who have been issued Medicare cards showing that they are covered only by the basic hospital insurance part of Medicare. There are perhaps another 200,000 or so for whom the So cial Security Administration does not have current address es, because they have not yet applied for the hospital insur ance under Medicare. Since the Social Security Administration has no way to get directly in touch with these older people, Ball appealed to sons and dau ghters and friends to call the open enrollment period to their attention, and suggest that thev get in touch with the nearest social security office. The medical insurance part of Medicare is financed half from the monthly premiums paid by the older persons enrolled and half out of general federal rev enues. So the protection is worth twice the amount of the pre mium the older person pavs. The basic premium rate is $4 a month, but older people who are late in signing up pay a premium that is 10 percent higher for each full year that they could have been enrolled, but were not.

They believe rural people are superior to their city counterparts - in health, friendliness, community involvement and freedom from pressure and tension. The American public also expresses great support for the rural electrification program and the government resource development program. These are among the findings of a recently completed independent nationwide survey of attitudes toward these subjects. The survey, the most extensive of its kind ever made, was conducted for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) by International Research Associates, Inc., New York. 1 NRECA, an organization representing almost 1,000 rural electric systems throughout the United States, commissioned INRA to measure public knowledge and understanding of rural America ... its problems and its people ... in light of a rapidly changing rural economy and vast rural-to-urban population shifts. The survey was conducted among 1,400 people, two-thrids of them urban and one-third rural to reflect the nation's population balance. luinbia Basin Electric Co-op "Serving Morrow, Wheeler and Gilliam Counties'
