PAGE 8-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1971 EDITORIALS Trick Or Treat Young peoplf 'odav are looking for constructive answers to the problems of the world This is the time of year when, throughout this country , their thoughts turn to the United Nations Children's fund. (UNICEF) whose efforts are focused on a positive .approach to the problems of children and youth in the developing countries the young people in the United States are growing up in a period of great uncertainty, manifested by various kinds of social upheaval They are faced with st-ous decisions they must make for themselves about what is right and what is wrong And they are more than ever concerned with what is happening in the rest of the world The majority are well-fed. well housed, and educated through high school, and most have never known material deprivation By contract, most of the developing countries have known nothing but deprivation They are ill fed and poorly housed, and the lucky ones have finished the primary grades < in many cases to find that they are not properly prepared for the few jobs that are available). These adolescents become a bitter and unhappy segment of the population of the developing world An ever-increasing number of countries are turning to the Children's fund for assistance in educating their children Once again UNICEF has accepted the responsibility and is working on several new approaches to the problem These plans include reorientation of education in the classroom so that students are more realistically prepared for existing job opportunities; the creation of prevocational training centers for the many youngsters who are not in school, and most important -- for the largest group of adolescents who now live in rural areas-- the organization of young farmers clubs to train farmers and rural artisans Many yxoung Americans are looking for new ways to help their peers through UNICEF If they are too old to trick-or :treat for UNICEF on Halloween, they organize other fund raising activities that can make a real contribution to the solution of the problems of their counterparts in the developing countries. It is our respon­ sibility as adults to help young people develop this social concern, and join them in supporting the United Nations Children's fund. A Helping Partner The hometown dealer, who represents a giant national manufacturer, has the help of a partner that makes it possible for him to stay in business in spite of centralization of many retail out lets. The partner of the small dealer is the community newspaper For. more than any other institution, the newspaper has a part in the continued survival of small city dealers. As the major force which works to build and maintain a trade area, the local newspaper giyes the small dealership its basis for existence. Through the newspaper the people of a community are constantly reminded that they can obtain all brands of goods in their hometown. Of course it would be less trouble and more efficient for the big manufacturers to maintain a few dealerships in major cities. Apparently, some manufacturers have attempted to encourage such a trend by concentrating national advertising in metropolitan newspapers, magazines, and other general media. Fortunately for small dealers, the policy has been a failure. Sales volume has significantly dropped when manufacturers have attempted to centralize all national advertising. Regional advertising does not finalize sales in the local com­ munity. The public simply reduces its buying when advertising is reduced on the local level. Thus, both manufacturer and the small dealer suffer when community newspapers do not carry a share of national advertising And that is why the small dealer is justified in insisting that his national advertising allocation be spent in his own community newspaper Bumpers In '72 One of the best things about the new cars - 1972 models -- is that many bumpers have finally been strengthened to absorb the im pact of a collision up to five miles per hour. Recent tests have shown that U.S.-built cars suffer hundreds of dollars in damage at the slightest impact, even in parking bum- pings Many 1972 cars, therefore, have removed lights from bumpers and have given the bumper enough flexibility to absorb minor impacts. Though the 1972 car crop offers fewer new features than in most years, the true bumper is a long awaited improvement. It is cer­ tain to save motorists millions of dollars in repairs in years to come PUBLIC Pl'FSE (The riaindealer invites the public to use this col­ umn as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community.

Question: My doctor doesn't accept Medicare assignments for direct payments to him. He has sent me a bill that I can't pay right now. What can I do about it? A.R. - McHenry Answer: You can send the itemized bill to Medicare before you pay it. You are responsible for the first $50 in doctor bills each year. After that amount is deducted, Medicare will pay you 80 per cent of the reasonable charge for the services shown on the bill. Then you can turn this money over to the doctor and you will only owe him the balance. Question: I had doctors' bills while I was visiting a friend in another state last spring. I filed a claim with the Medicare office in that state and they took out the $50 deductible. I now have bills from my own doctor. How do I notify the Medicare office in my home state so they won't take out another $50 deductible? P.M. - Woodstock Answer: You don't have to worry about paying the deductible twice. All Medicare claims are coordinated through Medicare's central office in Baltimore. For Your Information Dear friends, The old-fashioned funeral arose from a deep emotional needs and aids in the healthy grieving process, says Rev. Edgar Jackson, author of "You and Your Grief". The grieving process enables the bereaved to adjust to loss and to accept an altered reality. Feelings of guilt like those of anger, are normal accompaniments of grief and the bereaved must be helped to overcome them for his mental health.
