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. How can I deal with in
dentations in a rug caused by-
heavy furniture?
A. By setting your steam iron
in steaming position and holding
this over the dents.

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.

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.
SWEET CORN
Dr. Charles Thomas, Exten
sion Entomologist, was visiting
|M. L. <HT7,
County
A sent

disease has attacked some of the
sweet corn in the county. We’re
trying to run it down.
Also David Johnson of the Wild
life Service visited Laurens. Mr.
J hnson has been trying to run
down sutne < f thepp'blemswe're
having on black birds and
sparr ws.
Marvin Putman and Irby Poole
are having problems f mice
stealing their watermelons and
cantaloupes. Anyone having a
sure remedy, please call the
County Agents’ <iffice.
