BILLS NOT ITEMIZED CAN DELAY MEDICARE PAYMENT
Submit t ing medical hills that are not i temized can delay payment o f claims under the medical insurance part of Medicare, according to Raymond C. Backus, social security district manager in Grand Rapids.
" I f the patient uses the 'payment-to-you' method o f medical insurance payment . " Mr. Backus said, "h i s claim cannot be paid unless he submits an i temized b i l l o f services f rom his doctor -or other medical pro-vider."
The medical insurance part o f Medicare helps pay for doctor bi l ls and many other medical expenses o f people covered by the program. Claims are handled two w a y s - b y the "payment- to-you" method or the "assignment" method.
"The patient is required to send in an i temized bil l o f services only i f he uses the payment-to-you method." Mr. Backus said. " I f the patient and his doctor agree to use the assignment method, the doctor sends in the claim and Medicare payment is made direct ly to the doc tor . "

Bi-Centennial Meet W. D. F rank fo r te r o f the Grand Rapids Public Mu-
seum was host at a meeting, there, Monday evening,
January 21 . for the purpose o f cal l ing together repre-
sentatives f r o m throughout the coun ty to in i t iate a
means o f coord ina t ing observances o f the Uni ted Slates Bi-Centennial . 1976.
Carlen Anderson. Mayor o f Lowe l l , asked Mrs.
Bruce T o w e r to at tend as a representative o f the c i t y
and requested the West Central Michigan Histor ica l
Society to act as a steering organizat ion fo r the local observances.
A nat ional Bi-Centennial Commiss ion was created
in 1966 - N o w we have on ly two years in w h i c h to im-
plement plans and see them lu l f i l l ed ! This being a
unique o p p o r t u n i t y for al l . t ime is o f the essence t o be-gin our par t ic ipat ion now.
Three themes are to be used. "He r i t age . " "Fest ivals
•76." and " H o r i z o n s . " An area wide local observance
wi l l necessarily involve our c i t i zenry o ther than the
Histor ical Society. The first theme " H e r i t a g e " o f
course is a natural for them. "Fest ivals ' 7 6 " w i l l have
the pageantry and parades angle associated w i t h the
l ime and " H o r i z o n s " is considered the very best oppor-
tun i t y to consider goal sett ing as to c o m m u n i t y needs for tangible fu ture use.

OPEN LETTER from
DAVID GERST
Drar Friends,
In lime of bereavemcnt. relatives and friends truly want to helfi and it's a kindness to them and to the family to accept their help. Friends may say, "Let me do this" or "Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it." Such thought fulness tends to lift some of the burden, which is oppres-sive enough at time of bereavement.
Respectfully,

Br ie f ly in reply to t w o recent letters i n y o u r paper
regarding school pol icies and discipl ine. 1 believe a ma-
j o r i t y o f parents are in favor o f giving our teachers
and school admin is t ra tors credit for having the good
judgment to use discipl ine as needed to c o n t r o l behav-
ior in our schools, on buses, etc. For many years there
seemed to be a lack o f discipl ine and w i t h o u t i t a few
hood lums can disrupt and make problems fo r the en-
t i re school.

Dear Caro l ,
A f t e r reading the January 24. 1 { )74 let ter to the edi-
to r . 1 can no longer remain quiet .
T o Mrs. Nancy Kehoe, 1 feci 1 must o f fe r m y sin-
cere apologies.
T rue , I have not at tended the school board meet-
ings as I sl iQuld have. The results o f this are the guil t and shame I feel whenever 1 th ink about our new mid-
dle school . 1 wou ld guess that very nearly one m i l l i on
dollars was spent for that super fancy edi f ice o f learn-
ing that cou ld have been applied to the imp lements o f
learning and teachers wages.
Instead wc have musical parking lo ts , cassette re-
corders fo r private l istening, electric typewr i te rs for
6 th . 7 th or 8 th grade t y p i n g classes that can ' t be fo l low-
ed up w i t h cont inued t ra in ing un t i l the eleventh grade,
wal l to wa l l carpeting, even in the cook ing class rooms,
open beam ceil ing, t h row pi l lows to lay on the f loor w i t h , etc. . etc. , etc.
It seems very apparent to me that someone was
much more concerned w i t h an ex t remely impressive dis-
play o f lavish inter ior appo in tments thnn they were
w i t h fu rn ish ing students w i t h a higher standard o f edu-
cat ion b y sett l ing for a more spartan bui ld ing.
T o y o u Mrs. Kehoe, and the rest o f the Lowe l l area
taxpayers, 1 say I am sorry for not being a good watch
dog.
As for going through channels 1 had my fill o f that
when Mr . Kel ly and Mr . Sinke i n f o r m e d m y w i fe , my-
self, and Rev. Carpenter that they had a "soc ia l d u l y "
to adminis ter punishment and that they were not
really concerned w i t h what ef fect their act ions were
having o n m y son and his fami ly .
When I placed this before the school board , no th ing
was accompl ished to alleviate the s i tua t ion .
On the positive side o f the ledger. I feel that the dis-
respect and distrust m y chi ldren and 1 have for the
Lowe l l school admin is t ra t ion has generated a rather
fine degree o f respect and understanding between my
chi ldren and myself.
Whi le 1 am not naive enough to believe that c i ther
my ch i ld ren or mysel f are paragons o f v i r tue. I do feel
that we are making progress towards being bet ter ci t i -
zens in spite o f the examples set b y our school admin-
is t ra t ion.
I am , however, reasonably cer ta in that i f this le t ter
is publ ished, my chi ldren wi l l be i n constant d i f f i c u l t y
in school because 1 spoke out .
The teaching s ta f f o f our system is another mat te r .
1 have had the privi lege o f becoming rather we l l ac-
qua in ted w i t h several members.
M y impression is that in the ma jo r i t y o f cases they
arc sensitive, concerned, well i n f o r m e d people w h o
have sett led in the Lowe l l area t o take advantage o f be-

A u d i t o r i u m . I've jus t returned f r o m a F i l i p i n o home

is k n o w n here about the Phi l l ip incs. The purpose is l o
p romo te better cond i t ions o f understanding.
Demonstrat ions and riots are seen all over, young
as wel l as old w i t h shouts and cries for peace. Yet how
can we have wor ld peace and understanding when a lack
o f basic knowledge o f people, cu l ture and behavior pat-
tern are present. I w o u l d l ike to thank the c o m m u n i t y
once again for selecting me to be their Ambassador. I
hope that my travelogue, as wel l as the o the r four t o

to k n o w so that the present lack o f understanding
might change so that better bridges o f peace might be
bu i l t , not only to m y c o u n t r y the Phi l ippines but to
all.
Here is a poem as they say. that really put my head ^ together. I know in m y le t te i to you before I w ro te i t , 1 (I

Don ' t walk
Y o u might stumble
D o n ' t run
Y o u migh t fal l Don ' t t ry
Y o u might fai l
Don ' t live
Y o u might die.
I just hope and pray that my travelogue to you
might help i ron ou t some o f the misconcept ions and
false understanding o f the Phi l ippines and br ing a bet-
ter peace and understanding. So once more I 'd l ike t o
we lcome you to m y travelogue this coming Monday to
