Rogers School and the Patients' Welfare Benefit
Fund at Western State Hospital• Mrs. Lancaster
started making the dolls,in June with some help
from Mrs. Clara Stuck. By October the orders had
grown so large she could not handle them alone so
people who saw the dolls in someone's home. Now
that Christmas is over they have decided to extend
the project through May. The dolls sell for $3, as
do the clowns, which are made of the same mate-
rial. Orders may be placed with Mrs. Marler at
426-3656. Lint catchers are also available for 50
cents and $1, as well as spiders for 50 cents. The

(Editor's Note: This is the ninth

manager In Olympia, telling what
the social security amendments of
1965 mean to you and your fam-

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.

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.

Agate Boy Scout Troop 16 held

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

Day, 1956. Be glad you don't live
there, either.
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. People who like snow in-
clude small children, skiers, and
the people who make galoshes and
snow shovels.
