Medical Aid Program Brings 137 Applications; 61 Get Certification A report released late last week by Mrs. Eva Tice, administrator of the Columbia county public welfare program, stated that since mid-October when the program for medical assistance for the aged got under way in Oregon, 137 persons aged 65 and over have applied for certification in this county. Of these 137 persons, 61 have been issued certificates; five were denied certificates due to excess resources; 60 voluntarily termi nated their application before CWF Christinas Party Festive Monday evening, December 11, a Christmas party was enjoyed by the ladies of the CWF at the Christian church. The social room had been beau tifully decorated by Mrs. Olivia Wood and Mrs. Pat Roberts. A pink net tree and pink can dles decorated the serving table. Under the attractive noble fir tree gifts were placed for ex change. As a background for the serving table green boughs, with lights and cones added to the fes tive appearance. An interesting devotional was given by Mrs. Maude Wells. The group then joined in singing Christmas carols. Christmas cookies, tea and cof fee were served. At the last regular meeting held December 14, several pro jects were mentioned to be start ed in the New Year. The bazaar held recently was reported a suc cess. Thursday, December 28, will be the next regular meeting to be held at 1:30 p.m. in the church social room. All women of the church are invited. eligibility was determined; and two others voluntarily terminated after being found eligible and nine applications are being pro cessed. Of the 62 persons who with drew of their own accord, the reason for so doing which was most often given was the fact that a claim against the estate of the recipient of the medical as sistance is required. Such claims are not filed until both appli cant and spouse are deceased. Others withdrew their appli cations when they found the pro gram did not include payment for prescriptions. For many of the aged with chronic illness, the drug bill is large but they see the doctor only intermittently. Mrs. Tice stated that the fact there is no coverage for medicine is disappointing. Mrs. Tice stated that one man came to the office who said he had plenty of money to care for his needs but just wished to keep posted. She said that welfare workers are always glad to have inquiries about any of the pro grams they administer. Contacts between welfare workers and the people can be mutually bene ficial. Piersons seeking to establish eligibility for the medical assist ance program can expedite the process if they will bring to the office with them insurance poli cies and age veification, says Mrs. Tice. When you put your Christmas tree up, place it in the coolest part of the room. It should be as far as possible from radiators, heaters, and as far away as possi ble from the fireplace. This will reduce the chances of fire, and keep the tree from drying. For Results Use Eagle Classifieds LODGE AND CLUB NOTICES V. F. W. Regular meetings: Fourth Wednesdays. 8 P M . V.F.W. Hall.
