GOD BLESS "Operation Outreach" Communication Effort S Senior Hot Line { Federal Agriculture Budget Illinois Agriculture Director John R. Block last week criticized President Carter's budget cuts for agricultural research. Research in Illinois on alcohol alternative fuels, soil fertilization, and small grain disease eradication are worth continuing, Block said. He added he would notify the I l l i n o i s C o n g r e s s i o n a l Delegation to do everything possible to restore the funds. MERCHANTS Illinois farm couples will conduct an unique com­ munications program in Chicago, Feb. 24-25 to explore how farmers and consumers can work together to improve the food system. C a l l e d " O p e r a t i o n Outreach," the project was announced by its sponsors, the Associated Milk Producers, Inc. and the Agriculture Council of America, as part of a continuing effort to improve communications linking far­ mers and their customers. The program features a livestock display at a shopping center in Mount Prospect, where teams of participating farm couples will be on hand to talk with shoppers about food produc­ tion. Shoppers there will be urged to visit the exhibit and par­ ticipate in the "Consumer Pulse" survey-a brief questionnaire designed to define specific ways farmers and consumers can work together for mutual benefit. It's hoped that people from all different walks of life will take part in the survey; results will be announced Feb. 26. Another program highlight will be the "Farmer-Consumer Roundtable" scheduled for Feb. 24 at 1:30 p.m. Farmers will meet with representatives of other major interests in the food chain-includins business.

"While we can't promise the program will come up with all the answers, it'll provide the opportunity for those con­ cerned with the future of our food system to explore problems in an atmosphere of mutual respect," commented Operation Outreach Committee chairman, Dale and Linda Drendel, a dairy farm couple from Hampshire. "We feel it's very significant that this effort is going to lay the foundation for establishing these on-going lines of communication." Besides Mr. and Mrs. Drendel, another 30 northern Illinois dairy farm couples will represent AMPI as Operation Outreach spokespersons. Associated Milk Producers, Inc. is a milk marketing dairy cooperative with 30,000 farm families from Minnesota to Texas. Its purpose is to provide dairy farmers a fair income and at the same time provide every customer-wherever located-with the highest quality milk possible on schedules needed by the buyer. The Agriculture Council of America, formed in 1973, is made up of individual farmers and ranchers nationwide, general farm and commodity groups, and companies and organizations in business to serve the farmer. Its purpose is to communicate in behalf of agriculture with the American people; Operation Outreach is one of its several programs to achieve this goal.

Can you offer some helpful hints for a person who will be 65 next year and is planning to apply for Social Security benefits at that time? A. At 66, a person is eligible for Medicare as well as for monthly retirement checks. To make sure of full Medicare protection at age 65, an ap­ plication should be made about two or three months before reaching 65. An application can be made either in person or by phone, but it is often easier and more convenient to apply by phone. Some of the documents you'll need are Social Security card, proof of age, and the latest W-2 or self-employment tax return. For more detailed information, ask your 'social security office for a copy of the leaflet, "Thinking About Retiring?" Q. How will remarriage affect a widow's Social Security beneifts? A. Starting in Janaury, 1979, remarriage after age 60 will no longer affect a widow's or widower's checks. Q. What is the difference between a skilled nursing facility and a nursing home? A. A skilled nursing facility is a specially qualified facility which has the staff and equipment to provide skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services as well as other related health services. Medicare can help pay for care in a skilled nursing facility when it is necessary for further medical care after a hospital stay. Sometimes, however, the skilled nursing facility is just one part of a larger institution, and care elsewhere in the in­ stitution may not be covered by Medicare. Often a nursing home may provide nursing and custodial care but not the skilled nursing care that is covered by Medicare. Q. Are Social Security benefits payable for the month of death? A. If a person who gets Social Security benefits dies, a check isn't payable for the month of death. For example, if the beneficiary died in October, the check dated November 3 (which is payment for October) should be returned, unless the check is made out jointly to a husband and wife. In that case, the survivor should ask at the Social Security office whether to cash the check. Q. Can a child receive Social Security benefits on the record of a grandparent? A. A grandchild may be eligible for Social Security benefits on a grandparent's work record if the natural parents are dead or disabled and the grandchild is living with and is supported by the grandparent. For more in­ formation, contact your Social Security office. Please write or call Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal's Senior Action Centers at 160 North LaSalle, Chicago, 111. 60601, or 3 West Old Town Mall, Springfield, 111. 62701 with questions or concerns about any government agency or programs. This column will be covering the many questions senior citizens may have on various subjects. Call statewide: toll free 800-252- 6565; Metropolitan Chicago: 312-793-3333 Heating Oil In Emergency An emergency assistance program has been established to help minimize any shortages of heating oils or diesel fuels that might occur in Illinois, it was announced this past week. The Illinois Institute of Natural Resources, an agency of state government, has been granted authority by the federal government to control distribution of a portion of all such fuels sold in the state, according to Frank Beal, ac­ ting director of the institute. "This program will assure that the citizens of Illinois will have access to adequate quantities of heating oil and diesel fuels if emergency or hardship situations arise," Beal said. Here is how the program works: Suppliers of heating oil and diesel fuel are required to set aside each month a certain portion of all such fuels brought into Illinois for sale; these reserves must be maintained for distribution at the discretion of the institute. If no need for the fuels develops, the reserves are returned to the suppliers, and new reserves are set aside the following month. Any residential, business or industrial consumer who has made unsuccessful attempts to obtain an adequate supply of such fuels for an emergency or h a r d s h i p s i t u a t i o n , o r a n y wholesaler or retailer who is unable to get enough of these fuels to meet emergency needs of consumers, is eligible to request assistance from the institute in obtaining supplies. Wholesale or retail fuel dealers may request assistance only in meeting the needs of consumers with whom the reseller had an agreement to supply as of Dec. 1, 1978.' An emergency telephone number has been established for the use of persons who need assistance, Beal said. The telephone is answered during business hours under normal conditions but will be answered 24 hours per day during times of critical supply shortages. The number is (217) 782-1986. The heating oil supply assistance program announced does not include financial assistance to pay for heating oils. Persons experiencing hardship problems due to their inability to pay for fuels are advised to contact their local area economic opportunity c o m m i s s i o n s t o a p p l y f o r financial aid provided by the emergency Energy Con­ servation program funded through the Community Ser­ vices administration. The special supply assistance p r o g r a m i s e f f e c t i v e i m ­ mediately and will continue this year through March 21, 1979, said Beal. Consumer Intervention Alvin Gandys, manager of Office of Consumer Services of the Governor's Office of Manpower and Human Development announced last week applications are being accepted for financial and technical assistance grants to Illinois consumer groups who wish to intervene in two Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) utility proceedings. The grants are available to eligible groups wishing to testify in the Illinois Power Company rate increase case and the ICC investigation of the plant construction program of Commonwealth Edison company. Applications are available from Office of Consumer Services, Gover­ nor's Office of Manpower and Human Development,- 320 W. Washington, 5th Floor, Springfield 62706 ( 217-785-31%).
