Skinner, social security district manager In Olympia, telling what the social security amendments of 1965 mean to you and your fam- ily. ) $ * $ In my last column, I discussed hospital insurance benefits for the aged under social security, which provides basic protection for peo- ple 65 or over against hospital and certain related expenses. Today we'll consider the med- ical insurance plan, which supple- ments the hospital insurance pro- gram. Nearly all people 65 or over, whether or not they get social se- curity or railroad retirement ben- efits, can enroll in the medical in- surance plan. Enrollment will be on a volun- tary basis, that is, everyone will be able to decide whether or not he wishes to take part in the pro- gram. Those people 65 or over now receiving social security or railroad retirement benefits will receive information in the mail concerning enrollment. People not getting benefits can go to a social security district office to enroll in the medical insurance program. THE MEDICAL INSURANCE benefits will not be effective unttl July 1, 1966, Costs of the medical benefits plan will be shared by the Federal Government and those people enrolled. Initially, the pre- mium paid by each person enroll* ed will be $3 a month. Persons re- ceiving social security, railroad retirement, or Federal civil serv- ice monthly benefits who enroll will have their premiums deducted from their benefits. The enrollment period for those people who will be 65 by Jan. 1, 1966, is from Sept. 1, 1965, through March 31, 1966. These people can or not they wish to take part in this program. The medical insurance plan will pay 80 per cent of the expenses for covered services, after an an- nual deductible of $50. Services covered under the plan include: ---Physicians' a n d surgeons' services, in or out of the hospital. ---Home health services for up to 100 visits each year, with no prior hospitalization requirement. ---Additional services including diagnostic tests; radiation thor-. apy; ambulance service; surgical dressings, casts; rental of durable medical equipment; prosthetic de- vices as replacement of an intern- al body organ, braces, and arti- ficial legs, arms, and eyes. If you have any quesuons about health insurance or about any part of social security, write, phone, or visit the district office, 1007 South decide during this period whether Washington, Olympia.

After the basic training, he will be sent to some base for additional school. ing. Mr. and Mrs. Jack C. Yeck have been taking some good-natured ribbing recently. Seems their mail box has been full of cards con- gratulating them for the birth of a fine boy Dec. 6. Actually, the proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Jack W. Yeck, this being the son of the Jack C. Yecks. The new parents live in Shelton. Mrs, Ray Walker round a woun- ded sea gull on the golf course recently. The bird was banded. which resulted in a call to A1 Rasmussen, State Game Warden. The band was one of the federal go'~ernment. Some interesting facts emerged as inquiry was made as to the propose of such a pro- gram. MANY STATISTICS are ob- tained as to migratory habits, pop.. ulation, or whether a bird is be- coming extinct. The banding cov- ers 250 different types of birds. Many birds, such as ducks, mig- rate across three countries, Can- ad~, the U.S., and Mexico. By mutual agreement, each has its season for hunting. Much of this information is determined by the continuous banding of the different species. This is done largely in Canada where the nesting grounds are lo- cated, while the birds are young. The federal government has band- ed half a million birds. Resrnussen stated Washington has its ownv' banding program on all types of game, as do many other states. He reported the number on the band on the above mentioned sea gull to the Federal Game Depart- nlent. The bird had to have its wing amputated. After perform- ins such surgery, Rasmussen re- tinned'it to the shores of Oakland Ba.y, still banded. Recovery was expected to be complete, but flight orders are permanently cancelled for this pilot of the air and water. Maggie Ogg received a call a few days before Christmas to give a helping hand at the Vetmans' : Hospital near Tacoma. Members of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the V.F.W. were asked to aid in sort-! ins and rewrapping the ChrisUnas packages received by the patients. MR. AND 51RS.

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Costa went to Port Rochard Sunday to visit Mr. and Mrs. Emery Austin. From there they boarded the Austins' tugboat and travelled to Rich Co~e to see Namu, the whale. Needless to say the Costa children, Pare and Michele, were delighted, as well as the entire group. ecords Show Gets Worse in Many Places As you gaze glumly at the fall- ing snow and brood about gal- oshes, snow shovels, and aching backs, remember that it could be W( WSC. Much worse. For instance, back in 1921, 76 inches of snow fell at Silver Lake, Colo., in just 24 hours. At Tahoe, Calif., 108 inches of snow came down between Jan. ]2 and 15, 1952. The record snowr_t77 -3r a cal- endar month occurred at Tamar- ack, Calif., which got 390 inches during' January, 1911, a(',cording to World Book Encyclopedia. In the same year u record depth of Sl!O\V aecula]ulalod at. '].'~.tll]&rao~l{, where 454 inches covered the ground. The all-time U. S. record for snowfall in one season was set from July, 1955, to June, 1956, When 1,000.3 inches of snow fell st tile 5,500-foot level of Mount Rainier, Wash. Be glad you don't live there. ALL THESE FIGURES are rec- ords, and therefore unusual. But individual srmwfalls of 30 inches are not unusual st all. In the hills southeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, the average winter snow- fall is more than 150 inches. Erie, Pa., on the southeast shore of Lake Erie, was buried by a 27- inch snowfall on Thanksgiving m SET SUMMER WEDDING DATE Today, Thursday, Dec. 30 Rotary Club luncheon, noon, Ming Tree Cafe.

But no matter where you live, there are few spots in the United States which never get snow. For instance, snow fell as far south as Lakeland, Fla., near St. Peters- burg, in January, 1958. So, like it or not, snow is going to be with us for awhile, and in quantity.
