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.
