On this date, Jaycees and Jaycee-ettes from throughout the state will make house to house canvass of all Carolina cities to sell bottles of honey for healthful benefits to the buy-, ers and to raise funds to help finance mentally retarded child ren for a more meaningful life. The proceeds from this sale will be channeled into Camp Hope, a statewide .residential camp, operated at Camp For est, Cheraw State Park in Cher- aw. The camp, operated by the South Carolina Association for Retarded Children, Inc., pro vides a meaningful out-door camping experience for mental ly retarded children of the state from ages 10 on up who would otherwise be unable to enjoy some of the summer pleasures of more fortunate young people. Each child spends five weeks at Camp, which costs $100 for the session. Last year, the Jay cees provided about $17,000 to help underwrite the cost of the camp. During “Honey Sunday”, Jay cees will be selling Indian shap ed plastic bottles of mountain honey for $1.00 donation. After the honey is used, the container can then be used as a toy for children. Mental retardation is one of the nation’s most expensive pro blems. Cost to agencies and to families caring for the men tally retarded amount to an ex- timated $1 billion yearly, and loss to the national economy re sulting from unemployable re tarded adults climbs close to $5 billion. Through the efforts of the Jay cees, a goodly number of child ren in this state can be helped and made more secure in the knowledge that they are cared for. This year, the Jaycees are planning to sell 74,000 honey containers to help open train ing care and programs for the retarded. Some of the money will also be used in mental health nroerams. YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY Elderly patients should know that their stay in a nursing home may not be covered by Medicare. Even though these senior citizens have entered an extended care facility directly from a hospital, Medicare pays only wjien the care they need calls Yot the services of skilled, professional personnel. The nursing homes in the Greenwood area as elsewhere, often provide post-hospital care for people who must be helped to walk, feed or bathe them selves, or assisted in taking care of their personal needs. This kind of care is not covered by Medicare. Further, a stay in an extend ed care facility is covered by Medicare if the patient is re ceiving treatment for the same condition for which he was re cently hospitalized. After a stay of three or more days in the hospital, the Medicare patient may qualify for nursing home care, provided (1) his doctor recommends it; and (2) he is admitted to the home within two weeks after he leaves the hospital; and (3) the level of care he needs can be given only by qualified professional person nel; and (4) this skilled pro fessional nursing care must be required and given on a con tinuous basis.
