PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1966 i 'jiifiiitpi Next Monday is circus date Corky i»nd Norma Martini, pretty, famous equestriennes with the Kelly-Miller Bros Circus, like nearly all on the list of performers have inheri ted their strength, skill and daring. The life of sawdust and spangles is the only life they have ever known as they were born while their parents were with a circus in Copenhagen, Denmark. They represent the third generation of a famous circus family. They are among the 100 per formers with the Kelly-Miller Bros. Circus coming to New berry Monday, September 12th under sponsorship of the New berry Jaycees. Performances will be at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. While the equestrienne act lasts but eight minutes, months and years of constant practice w r as required by the sisters to perfect their act. There is no act with a circus more daring than that of a bareback rider. It requires extreme skill to turn a somersault from a gal loping horse to the ground without experiencing a sprain ed ankle. Equally important is the training of the ring stock. A circus ring is 40 feet in diame ter and to keep from throwing a performer off balance a horse must take just so many meas ured steps. The gait must be mathematically uniform. A serious injury to a performer might result if a horse stum bled. Many other outstanding per formances will be in store for those attending the circus next Monday.

Pearman announced today. The opening, scheduled to be the highlight of National High way Week observance in South Carolina, will be the first seg ment of the fourth multi-mil lion dollar Interstate System freeway being built across the state and will mean that all or a portion of each of fhe four Interstate routes that cross the state will be in actual use. The section of the freeway to be opened, under construc tion since March, 1963, ex tends from S. C. Route 6 in Lexington county to U. S. Rt. 176 (Broad River Road) in Richland county. It is a part of a 30-mile stretch extending eastward to the Richland-Ker- shaw county line, all of which is in advanced stages of con struction. Another section, from the Richland-Kershaw county line to U. S. Route 601 near Camden is under con struction but only in the grad ing stage. Opening of the first 11 mile segment of Route 1-20 will pro vide much relief for through traffic, and also help relieve traffic congestion in the Col umbia urban area. When 1-20 is completed in Richland and Lexington coun ties it will serve as a circum ferential route, providing fast er, safer and more convenient road from one side of Colum bia to the other. Interstate 20, a major east- west route on the National System, connects with Inter state 95 at Florence and ex tends westward by Darlington, Hartsville, Bishopville, Cam den, Columbia, Lexington, Batesburg, Leesville, North Augusta past the Augusta, Atlanta and Birmingham areas towards its terminus at El Paso, Texas, where it connects with Interstate 10 leading to the Pacific coast. In addition to the opening of the 1-20 section near Col umbia, construction on the route from the Savannah river to U. S. 25 in Aiken county is moving into the advanced stages. Twin bridges over the Savannah have been completed and paving of the main road way from the river to U. S. 25 is expected to begin early next week. It is anticipated that this portion of Interstate 20 will be completed in the springn of next year. Arrangements have been made for a program marking the opening of the first Route 1-20 section and observance of National Highway Week. The program will feature a formal opening ceremony for the free way section as a tour of the section of Route 1-20 now under construction in Richland and j Lexington counties. The public j is invited to attend the cere monies. i PATRONS AND FRIENDS of Newberry Academy are shown at the punch table during Open House Tuesday. They are, from left, Mrs. James C.

Article by Rinehart is published An article paralleling the post-Civil War South and the depression of the 1930’s, co authored by a Newberry Col- ege professor, appeared in the July issue, of “Mid-America.” The article was written by Dr. James R. Rinehart, assoc iate professor of economics at Newberry College, and Prof. Wiliam E. Laird, of Florida State University. “ Scholars have tended to neglect the influence of mone tary instability upon the eco nomic fortunes of the South,” the article said. “This neglect has been unfortunate because the monetary experience of the South has been unique, and it may have played a causative role in the long decades of semi-stagnation suffered by the South after the War Be tween the States.” State parks to close swimming for ’66 season COLUMBIA — Swimming areas at South Carolina’s state parks will close for the sum mer season after Labor day, said State Park Director E.

Shealy, Building Official Medicare tips for elderly “Even though a hospital in your community may not be participating in medicare, there are still certain services which it provides that may be cover ed,” Miss Martha Pressly, dis trict manager of the Green wood Social Security office, stated today. These services are outpatient or clinical and are covered un der the medical insurance part of medicare. “A 65 year old person who signed up for the $3 part,” Miss Pressly ’’contin- ued, “in addition to getting help on his doctor bills, would also get help on hospital pro vided diagnostic tests and cer tain therapy. This might in clude such services as blood tests, EKG’s and X-ray treat ments, provided to the out pat ients by a hospital.” Bills would be paid by the medical insurance at the rate of 80 per cent after the patient paid the first $50 each calendar year. “ Emergency in-patient ser vice is also covered even in non-participating hospitals. If you have an accident—break a bone, have a stroke—hospital service in non-participating hospitals would be covered.” The factors that must exist for an emergency are: (1) no participating hospital is read ily available; (2) the service is required for preservation of life or prevention of serious impairment to patient’s health; (3) the physician certifies the service cevered an emergency situation. Payment woujd be made to the hospital only for the period of the emergency. Hospitals, whether non-par ticipating or not, will need the patient’s medicare claim num ber. This number is on the red, white and blue Health Insur ance Card. If you are nearing 65 and don’t know yet what to do a- bout medicare, there may be features of this program y ou have overlooked, according to Miss Pressly. . People 65 or nearing 65 who have not investigated what medicare has to offer or the limitations on enrollment for certain coverage should take note of the following informa tion. Anyone becoming 65 has 7 months in which to make up his mind about the medical in surance, sometimes called doc tor bill insurance: 3 months before he is 65, plus 3 months after he is 65, plus the 65th birthday month—a total of 71 months. However, Miss Pressly | emphasized that you must sign up in one of the months be fore you are 65 if you want coverage to be effective with the month you become 65. If you wait until the month you are 65 or a later month, the medical insurance protection will be delayed. You do not have to retire to receive any of the medicare protection, but you must ap ply. Monthly benefits can be paid if you have partially re tired. Miss Pressly suggested that a 65 year old person remember two things about medicare: <1) there is a limitation on enroll ment, and (2) you do nox; have to retire to receive medicare insurance protection.
