H Medicare Doctor Bill Payments Are Explained Julius E. Gunter, Social Se curity Field Representative in Clinton, said there are two ways payment on your doctor bill can be made under medicare. The two ways are by assign ment or direct payment to the patient. The method of payment is decided by the patient and his doctor. The amount of medical insurance will be the same under either method. If the medicare patient and his doctor agree, payment can le made directly to the doctor. This is called assignment of the pay ment. In other words a medicare patient may assign his medical insurance claim to the doctor. If the doctor does not wish to take an assignment, the patient can pay the bill or if he cannot pay the bill, he may present an item ized bill given him bv his doc tor, and the medical insurance payment will be made directly to him. Medicare patients are respon sible for the first $50.00 of ex penses in the year. Medicare will then pay 80 r i ($4 out of $5) of the remaining reasonable char ges. When a doctor accepts assignment, he agrees that the amount that the patient is re sponsible for is $50.00 deducti ble plus 20 f ; of the remaining expenses. There can also be assignment of a part of a bill. If a patient has already paid part of his bill, his doctor can still agree to assignment for the rest of the bill. Gunter urges all people who need help in filling out a medi care insurance claim to contact him any Thursday morning at the Clinton Employment Office. How Can I? By ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can 1 most easily re move talcum powder that has spilled on a carpet? A. Don’t try to sweep it, since that only spreads it. Instead, hold the vacuum cleaner over the pow der to draw all the loose parti cles. Then what’s left can be re moved by rubbing the spot gently with a damp cloth. Rinse fre quently, so the powder that sticks to the cloth will not go back into the carpet. Q. How can I extricate a cork that has dropped inside an enpty bottle? A. Pour in enough ammonia to float the cork, and leave it there for a few days. Enough of the cork will then have l>een eaten away to permit its removal. Q. How can 1 add new life to my costume jewelry? A. Try soaking it for an hour or so in hot water and ammonia-- half and half. Dry well, and chances are you’ll be delighted with the new sparkle in your jewelry. Q. How can I make a good soap- less furniture wash? A. By adding three tablespoons of raw or boiled linseed oil and two tablespoons of turpentine • r mineral spirits toonequartofhot water, mixing well, and allowing to cool. Apply this wash with a soft cloth well wrung out, covering a small area at a time, wipmgeach part dry as you proceed, and polishing afterward. Q. How can 1 remove burnt bacon drippings from my oven? A. Turn off the pilot light, place a bowl of ammonia inside the oven, close the door, and the ammonia fumes will loosen those charred drippings and make the oven easier to clean out. Q. How can I prevent yellow ing in white nylon shirts, blouses, underthings, and such? A. By use of bluing when laun dering them. Q. How can I preserve the hard covers of books? A. Many libraries do this with shellac. You can do the same by spraying the shellac on with one of the ready-to-use sprays on the market. Q.

County Ponds Stocked With 6,300 Bass 1- ’urty Laurens County pond owners received 0,300 large- m >uth bass on Tuesday May 7, to complete the stocking of their ponds. The fish were delivered by the Fish and Wildlife-Service from Orangeburg through thee - 'peratinn of the Laurens Soil Conservation District. Bream for the same ponds were received from the Orangeburg hatchery- last Deceml>er. The largest numlier J bass from this delivery, 1,000 went into one of the Dune: n Creek Watershed lakes on the Whitten Village Farm. This lake is appro- approximately 10 acres in size and is l>eing used in connection with the nearby recreational area recently developed for the use of more than 2,500 children living at Whitten Village. “This recreation area gets dai ly use in favorable weather”, says Tony Henson, Recreational Director at Whitten Village. Over 5G0 farm ponds have been built in LaurensCounty with tech nical help from the Soil Con servation Service. These ponds have t>een stocked according to specifications of the f ish and Wildlife Service and the State Wildlife Resources Department. The ponds add t»eauty to the land and provide recreation for the farm family, their friends, and in some cases, for paying guests. However, to produce the most recreation and pleasure, they must afford good fishing. rids requires the carrying out f pond management practices. Two of the most important prac tices to carry out during the sum mer months are fertilization and and weed control. Keep weeds and brush cut around the ekges of the pond and in shallow water. Pull out cattails and canes by the roots as soom^s they are detected. Many pond 1 'wners have already- started fertilizing their ponds. This should lie done regularly, according to the needs of the pond, until cool weather in()ct- iber. The average pond will re quire from 800 to 1000 pounds of fertilizer per acre each year. 1/ie Old 7<ym£si CC Swine Production Can Be Profitable 7 ' OA. "Time is a jrreat healer, hut a poor beautician." BY M. L. OUT/ COUNTY AGENT Is swine production a profit able enterprise?? Truman Leo pard of Clinton says “yes”. Tru man has had hogs for a number of years. At present, he has a feeding operation and sells 30 to 40 hogs a month to local buyers. In addition, he has 20 sows that farrow twice a year. This gives him a supply of hogs for the pig parlor. The hogs go from weining to the parlor. There they receive a pig starter ration and are fed from a self feeder and watered from an automatic waterer. It was obvious that Mr. Leo pard’s pigs had good breeding. That is--the proper type. (Very little fat on hogs is the go for today.) Breeders are faced with the task of culling out hogs with too much fat. Most of Mr. Leo pards’ hogs would go number me on the market. Compare hogs with other type if livestock. Most studies show that hogs give a higher return than other livestock. The pig parlor did a lot for swine production. Todays’ hog is fed and watered automatically. Large groups of animals are kept together so labor will not be a major problem. The waste is washed into a large septic pool where it creates no problem of polution. Mr. Leopard says his long- range plan is to expand Ik 4 h his parlor and his farrowing facil ities. It seems that good meat type hogs will be in demand f or a long time to come. It’s the fat ones that have no future. With high yielding mile var ieties and the automation that is available, it seems that Laurens County could very well expand in pork production. A feeder pig sale has tieen scheduled for June 3rd, at the Saluda Livestock Farm. This sale should give producers a place to market their pigs. I do want to caution everyone however, that this sale is no place for low qual ity pigs. For further information, please call the County Agents’ Office--984-3021.
