Previously a mother needed 112 years of work in the three years before her de a th, dis­ ability or retirement, in order for her children to be entitled on her account. Beginning with March, children may receive payments if their mother had worked long enough at any time to be ‘fully insured’. This change could also affect the rights of some dependent wid­ owers and husbands. Benefits under this provision may be paid in March 1968, but they may be based on death or disability that occured some time in the past. 6. People now over age 65 who did not enroll in the med­ ical insurance (doctor bill pay­ ment) part of medicare during the original enrollment period or who have dropped out may now sign up. The current en­ rollment period will end March 31, 1968. After that,enrollment periods wall run January through March each year but a person must enrol! within 3 years after the first opportunity to enroll. This current period wall be the last chance to sign up for most people who were age 65 when medicare started in July 1966. Those who wish to cancel their enrollment may also make this change during the current period. 7. People reaching age 65 this year will need at least 3 quarters of covered work under social security to qualify for hospital insurance unless they can qualify as the dependent of an insured worker eligible to receive monthly benefits. 8 Medicare coverage has been extended in many areas. A lifetime reserve of 60 days of hospital coverage has be< n added to the 90 days that are available for each ’spell of illness’. Medicare pays all but $20 a day of hospital expenses when these days .ire used. An itemized statement of sei vices is ail that is needed now when submitting a claim for medical insurance (doctor bills etc). Out-patient hospital costs has been taken out of the hospital insurance and is now covered under tin medical insurance and the special dedu< table that did apply to out-patient treatment has been dropped and Is now yicludei) in the regular $50 Grazing Fees On I lu nd ¡capped.

Again this year the fee will be 33 cents per animal­ unit per month (AUM), BLM state director Archie I). Craft announced Tuesday. Grazing fees per AUM for Bl M rang< lands are one and one-half times the average price per pound received by livestock growers the previous year. Livestock prices did not fluctuate enough to result III a change of grazing fees, he said. An interagency study of graz­ ing fees on public lands is re­ ceiving careful consideration by livestock operators, BLM ad­ visory boards, and other groups, but conclusions have not been reached. Grazing fees for BUM lands in western Oregon have not yet been set for 1968. Last year they were 60 cents per AUM. «k -«k s«k «k >«k «k -*«k PERSONALS Mr. and Mr s.
