PAGE 8-The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, March 2, 1972 Jaycees adopt resolution on environment The Newberry Jaycees met Thursday, February 24, at New berry Federal Savings & Loan Association in the Community Room at which time they adopt ed the following resolution pro posed by Jaycee Harold Koon representing the South Caro lina TB and Respiratory Disease Association. Whereas.: Solid waste pollu tion is one of the major environ mental problems confronting our earth. Each day, the average American discards more than five pounds of paper, plastic, metal, garbage and other waste. Because more than 75 .percent of these materials can be reused, one solution to the problem is the conversion of solid waste into recovered re sources. .Whereas: Each year every man, woman and child in the United States generates an ave rage of 575 pounds of waste paper, 250 metal cans, 135 bot tles and jars. The total creeps up with each passing year; an expected 10 pounds per person per day by 2000. Whereas: The danger to the Earth’s water, air and vegeta tion increases as the list of pol lutants mounts. And along with the diminution of these very basic elements of life comes the logical portent of mankind’s eventual demise. Whereas: The environment is •everybody’s business and is everyone’s responsibility. So the responsibility for the current state must be assumed by all, not by just one sector. Whereas: There are many ways the average citizen and Jaycee can get involved. Includ ed are such possibilities as per sonal conservation of natural resources and co-operation with work with local and state gov ernments to provide both stan dards for pollution control and the funds to implement them. Whereas: The Newberry Jay cees know that recycling is not the ultimate answer to so lid waste pollution, but until our society has kicked the conve nience-consumption habit, one solution to solid waste pollu tion IS THE RECYCLING DAY. Whereas: The Recycling Day provides a free alternative to very expensive incineration and landfill disposal. Be it therefore resolved: In an effort to reduce solid waste pollution, conserve natural re sources and encourage indivi duals to play a role in environ mental improvement, that the Newberry Jaycees endorse the RECYCLING DAY to be held in Newberry, Saturday, March 4 from 10:00 A.M. til 3:00 P.M. at the A & P Parking Lot on College Street. Adopted: 2-24-72 Signed: W. Larry Cromer, President Newberry Jaycees See credentials of representative “If someone comes to your door and says he is from the Social Security or Medicare Of fice, ask to see his credentials’’, Social Security District Mana ger J. C. Bagwell advised se nior citizens in the area in which y.'>u live. Mr. Bagwell .said there have been scattered instances in the Southeast in which confidence men have posed as Social Security Repre sentatives as a pretense for getting money from Social Se curity and Medicare beneficia ries. There have been reports of such incidents in some areas. In issuing his reminder, Mr. Bagwell said he did not wish to alarm local elderly people but just to put them on notice so that they would not be vic timized. Any bonafide social security representative will readily show you his identification and will not mind at all if you want to double check by calling the so cial security office on the tele phone.

RUBBER STAMPS One Day Service THE NEWBERRY SUN 1101 Boyce St. - 276 5800 opportunities in the Army with out commiting themselves to enlistment. During their three to four day visit to the Selection Cent er young men will see para chute jumps, basic training ope rations, rifle range facilities; and will have the opportunity to talk with recruits about Army life. Selection Center visitors will be able to use various post facilities, such as movies, gyms service clubs, and bowling lanes. While giving young men a good idea of what Army life is all about is one of the Selec tion Center’s prime advantages the key objective of the new recruiting concept is a match up program. In order to ac complish this, each young man will be given a physical exa- examination and mental apti tude tests. Most important, each young man will have personalized in terviews with skilled, specially trained career counselors who will attempt to match the man’s skills and desires to a job op portunity in the Army. The Army now offers more than 300 job classifications. The 100 young men who visit the Selection Center each week will find themselves in a mo dern and comfortable environ ment, typical of the newest Army facilities. No World War II type barracks atmosphere is to be found at the Selection Center. Visitors will be quarter ed in eight to nine man rooms. Nearby are TV, reading and game rooms—all decorated in cheerful colors and with recrea tional equipment, such as pool and pingpong tables, in the “rec” room. When the visit is over, the young man can make one of three choices. He may enlist, then and there or return home to consider the Army. He can enlist but delay his entry for 180 days; or, if he and the Army can’t get together he may re turn home with no strings at tached. All travel expenses are paid by the Army. Sergeant Gwinn emphasizes that because availabilities in the Selection Center program are limited, interested young men should contact him imme diately at his office located at 121 Laurens St., Laurens, S. C. or by calling collect 984-7213. Nursing care available for home patients Every fifteen minutes a New berry County resident enters a hospital for treatment, but what happens after he comes home and still needs medical care. He can have home care by a registered nurse from the Health department if his doctor recommends it according to Mrs. Floy Eargle, R.N., (title) charge nurse for Newberry County. Mrs. Eargle said that after a physician recommends a pa tient, a nurse from the health department reviews the home situation. If the patient is ac cepted, the nurse visits the home to provide the services prescribed by the doctor. “A Home Health Services Nurse can tube-feed a child, dress a surgical wound, pre pare an asthma victim to ’take’ oxygen or help a stroke pa tient with range of motion exer cises.” The public health nurse said, “For a patient to be eligible for Home Health Services, he must be essentially homebound and have a family member or close friend in the home who can take care of .dm between visits by the nurse.” “Although most home care patients are over 65 years old and have at least one serious chronic disease, the program is not restricted to senior ci tizens,” she continued. “At times, as much as one-third of the persons served are under age 65 including a number of children.” She said that a vast majo rity of the patients have some form of heart disease, but can cer, stroke, diabetes and frac tures are other leading cate gories and some patients have mental illness or pneumonia. “The program also releases a number of hospital needs to people who need full time care and gives relief to our doctors who are in short supply here as well as the other counties in the state,” Mrs. Eargle said. “Of course, the most impor tant advantage of the program is that it brings longer and a more comfortable life to many residents with serious illness es.” Each of the 46 Home Health units in the state, including Newberry County, offers nurs ing care and at least one addi tional service such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social service, or home health aides. Anyone with questions about Home Health care should call Mrs. Eargle at the Newberry County Health Department. Te lephone 276-1877 or write Home Health Services, (address) 1306 Hunt St., Newberry.
