PG. 12 - PIAINDEALER - WED. SEPT. 24, 1969 umfry'k More Wonderful Worlds? A recent discovery by astrophysicists at the Greenbank, West Virginia radio telescope indicates life probably exists on other planets in outer space. While no one can be certain, in recent years scientists have discovered several new gases, one by one, thought capable of combining into living chemical organisms--forerunners of other forms of life. Among them are hydrogen, oxygen, ammonia, water and now formaldehyde-recently detected by astrophys­ icists at Greenbank. * These discoveries greatly reinforce the theory that life originated from these gases, which made up the atmosphere of primitive earth billions of years ago. They also strongly indi­ cate the same process must have worked in other areas and on other planets in outer space-and are probably working today. More and more signs are thus pointing to the probability that life exists elsewhere in the starry space around us--and this, of course, opens up the future and the imagination to new and wondrous dimensions. Complete Advertising Meat is a food for which the demand would seem to be stable. One market operator said, "A woman wants a certain kind of meat at a certain time or she doesn't." A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates that the statement is far from accurate. Research of the De­ partment showed that newspaper advertising increased the sales of lamb 26 per cent in six cities. This dramatic increase was attained when national advertising was related to the advertising of local merchants. Through national advertising alone, the research indicated that the sales of lamb increased an average of ten per cent. For many retailers, the study only confirmed previous convictions. Grocers have long known that newspaper advertis­ ing could move a surplus of ham, turkeys, beef or chicken at any appropriate time. Department stores know the same can be accomplished on all kinds of goods. The most significant result of the Department of Agricul­ ture study was to point up the importance of local selling and co­ operation between distributors and merchants. ! It is not enough to say that "All sales are local." The na­ tional advertiser, as well as the local merchant, should also remember that all sales are made by individual retailers. • Even when demand for a product has been created by gen­ eral advertising, the consumer needs additional information be­ fore he acts. Only the advertising of the individual local retailer answers details cm where, how, and when a product may be obtained. No advertising is complete until the consumer has this infor­ mation.

CIVIC CLUBS SPONSOR MANY MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS Although it is not as widely recognized as it should be, the assistance • given to mental health programs by civic clubs and citizens' groups is an es­ sential factor in the kind of community services we must have if we are ever to promote mental health effectively and adequately. Chances are, right in your community, there is participa­ tion by one or another civic group in mental health activi­ ties conducted by the official health agency or voluntary mental health association. In many states, such volun­ tary participation is demonstrat­ ing healthy and encouraging growth. " **" M •• " Bringing this to home spe­ cifically, we find an example not far from the National In­ stitute of Mental Health, which is located just outside Washing­ ton, D.C., in the state of Mary­ land. Here, as in other states, among the many civic and vol­ unteer groups which help the mentally ill is the U.S. Jaycees. The Towson, Md. Jaycees, one of more than 60 Maryland chapters, has extended a chap­ ter into a nearby mental hos­ pital to provide patients with a tie to the community. The Towson Jaycees also compiled a manual of all fa­ cilities available to citizens in tEe area. The manual was pro­ vided to physicians, lawyers, clergymen, school counselors, and others to whom it would be useful. Another Maryland Jaycee chapter, at Glen Burnie, spon­ sors a program known as "Proj­ ect Homecoming." In this pro­ gram, Jaycee members help to orient long-term patients, about to be released from the hos­ pital, bringing them up-to-date on the ways the world has changed while they were hos­ pitalized. Other Maryland chapters of the Jaycees sponsor holiday fes­ tivities, Bingo parties, and other group activities for mental patients. To, be sure, this is merely a brief glance at a small part of what one civic group is doing in one state. But it illustrates the very real partnership that a very wide range of civic and voluntary organizations can and is developing with the mental health forces in communities throughout the land. Civic clubs are becoming an indispensable member, in truth, F R O M STATEHLOUSE LT. GOV. PAUL SIMON \ What's Your Handicap? Recently I went to Carthage, Illinois to join some local citizens in paying tribute to Phillip Hartzell on his 50th birthday. "That's hardly worth writing a column about," you may be thinking. But if you saw Phil Hartzell and knew his story, you could not help but be moved. When he was five or six years old, Phil Hartzell fell victim to muscular dystrophy. Despite that, he went to grade school, high school and college. Because of his physical handicap he could not secure employment, but he maintained an intense interest in better government. During my more than 14 years in state govern­ ment, one of those who has regularly sent suggestions, criticisms and words of encouragement has been Phil Hartzell. Phil Hartzell today does not have the use of his legs, can barely move his arms, and physically is about as badly handicapped as anyone apn be. Yet Phil Hartzell has had infinitely more impact on £4jrefMuftent4i|an has the average ^jpitizen. \ . I took my two children, ages 5 and 8, to Phil Hartzell's 50th birthday party because I wanted them to see and meet this living sermon. There are other examples around the state, of course. One is Roger Irving, executive assistant to State Auditor Michael Howlett. As a result of injuries sustained in the Air Force during World War II, he lost the use of his legs and hands. His physical handicap is not as great as Phil Hartzell's, but it is bad enough that moA of us, I'm afraid, would just withdraw from life. Yet few people in the nation contribute as much to state government as Roger Irving. Willard Ice is an attorney and a key man in the Illinois Department of Revenue. If you have had a particularly com­ plicated problem with the Department of Revenue, you probably have been referred to Willard Ice. If you talked to him over the phone, you did not realize one thing: Willard Ice is blind. Each of them--Phil Hartzell, Roger Irving and Willard Ice--has contributed to government in different, but im­ portant, ways. And each of them should be an inspiration to citizens whose only handicap is indifference. of the mental health team as there is developed more and more "community psychiatry"-- the bringing of services and therapies to people as a com­ munity and in the community, a development that is probably the most striking, meaningful advance against mental illness of this century.

Social Security QUESTION BOX fBY JIM JANZ FIELD REPRESENTATIVE Today's questions are ones frequently being ask­ ed of our representatives by the people of Mc Henry county. The Social Secur­ ity office at 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan, re­ minds Mt Henry county re­ sidents that it has repre­ sentatives meeting people at two locations in McHen- ry county on a regular ba­ sis. The representatives are at the Woodstock Pub­ lic Ubctury, 414 W. Judd, Woodstock every Wednes­ day fraln 9 a.m. to noon and at tjte Harvard city hall from 9:30 a.m. to noon on the first and third Tue­ sday every month. If you have a question you would like answered on Social Se­ curity In this column, then please forward it to Social Administration and Answer Col- Grand avenue, Illinois, 60085. Give «your full name, ad­ dress, and Social Security number. If you do not want your, name to appear, please indicate this and we will use only initials. Question: I signed for Med­ icare two years ago when I was age 65. I have never had to use it as I haven't been sick and I have never been in a hos­ pital. Now my doctor tells me that I will have to have a minor operation and will be in the hos­ pital for over a week. Is there anything I should do before I enterf the hospital to make sure that pay claim will be handled promptly? Answer: There is no prior ac­ tion that has to be taken with the Social Security office. You should take your Medicare Health Insurance card with you as the admissions office at the hospital will want to see it. They will need this for billing purposes. They will want your name and social security claim number to appear on their rec­ ords exactly as it is shown on your Health Insurance card. Life very of your claiifr' pital slhds it in for reimburse­ ment. |f the name and number don't agree "with the social se­ curity records, then there would be a delay in processing the claim. ? Question: What delays pay­ ments to persons who file for reimbursement from Medicare Medical insurance, and how can these iielays be prevented?

For Your Information Dear friends, Following a bereavement, all notes of con­ dolence should be answered personally. A note of gratitude should also be sent to each pallbearer, and to anyone who has been of special help. . While a personal note of gratitude for the clergyman's comfort and aid is proper, we feel it is preferable to visit the clergyman and thank him in person.

JVV£/V Three ba oNAL jrESSl TO*v igEC Answer: Studies have indi­ cated that the main cause of delays in reimbursement of medical bills-is that people put the wrong social security claim number or no claim number at all on the Request for Payment form that they send into the insurance company. Your name and your social security claim number should appear on the form exactly as it appears on your Medicare Insurance card. All items in Part 1 of the Re­ quest for Medicare Payment form have to be completed and the signature of the patient must appear on the proper line. If Part n is not completed by the physician or the supplier, then all itemized bills from the phy­ sician^ or supplier must be at­ tached to the form. Each bill should have the social secur­ ity claim number shown on it. OPTOMETRIST INSURANCE Or. John F.Kelfy ..v.l McHenry j) ; (Closed Wednesday).' Eyes Examined Glasses Fitted Contact Lenses Hrs.
