The County Agents Column ———— THE HOME YOU KNOW We generally think of our homes as havens of safety and happiness, so it is very dis appointing and saddening to read the annual accident re cord; yet figures show that ac cidents are real enemies of the home and most of them are caused by carelessness. A home is not a bulwark of democracy until it is a safe home. Make your home a safe home by taking care of the dan ger spots which cause most of the accidents. Check your home to find weak points such as: screen for fireplace, floors clear of toys and other tripping haz ards, electric cords in good re pair, handrails for stairways, steps in good repair, sharp knives kept in racks, wipe up water and grease immediately after spilled. Medicines clearly labeled and stored out of reach of children, windows opened for ventilation securely screened, step ladder in good repair and some member of the family qualified to give first aid. Strengthen these so the enemy “accident” can’t break through. A few other questions we can ask ourselves. How careful a driver am I? Do I walk and play safely? Is electricity the best friend a farm has? Do I prac tice fly prevention? Do I have safety signs for safety placed on my farm? - HEALTH SAFETY RULES Go less, sleep more; ride less, walk more; talk less, think more; scold less, praise more; waste less, give more; eat less, chew more; clothes less, bathe more; idle less, play more; worry less, laugh more; preach less, practice more. YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY Lock your car keys in the car and you have problems—espec ially in a strange town. Many things run through your mind, such as breaking a window, etc. H. M. Spiller, field represen- tativ of the Greenwood Social Security Office, said today that your social security card is the key to your social security ac count. This little card may be needed sooner than you think in opening the door to retire ment, disability, survivor or Medicare benefits for your fam ily- Lose your card, and it creates problems. The number must be found before your social secur ity account is opened. Your em ployer must know your correct number to properly report your earnings. Proper reporting of earnings is most important be cause the amount of money you receive from social security in the future depends on how much money you earn today. In addi tion, the social security people must know your number in ord er to start your checks, pay your Medicare bills, or change the address on your monthly checks. Spiller said everyone who tele phones or visits the social se curity office should have his card available. Failure to have the card available could mean another telephone call or visit. You were given two social se curity cards—one was to carry in your billfold, the other was to place in a safe place at home. Lose one and we can replace the other. Lose both and you may have to wait a week or ten days until the records in Baltimore, Maryland are check ed and a new card is prepared. You may miss out on a job opportunity while you are wait ing for your duplicate card. Spiller said in closing, “Pro tect your social security card because some day you will want the protection it offers.” Medicare covers vaccinations or innoculations only if directly related to the treatment of an injury. This definition comes from Social Security Field Re presentative H. M. Spiller in response to many questions on this subject. Vaccinations or innoculations are not covered unless they are directly related to the treatment of an injury or direct exposure —such as anti-rabies, antitoxin, booster vaccination, botulin an titoxin, tetanus or immune glou- bulin. “Immunization against such diseases as polio, diph theria, and smallpox are not covered by Medicare,” Spiller emphasized. Drugs are covered by Medi care only if they are the type which could not be self-adminis tered, the field representative pointed out. Such drugs are us ually administered through in jections by the physician or his nurse under the physician’s supervision. These injections are covered even if required on a continued basis. “If the inject ion is usually self-administered, such as insulin, Medicare does not cover it,” Spiller warned. Neither prescription nor regular drugs are covered by Medicare except those routinely admin istered by the hospital to pat ients,. according to Spiller. Iron lungs, oxygen tents, hos pital chairs and wheel chairs may be covered by Medicare. Such durable medical equip ment must be prescribed by the physician as needed in the convalescence or treatment of the patient. The coverage is usually on a purchase-rental basis, with the patient being allowed to retain the equipment after the full purchase-rental price is reached.
