Toll charges had to be paid directly to the telephone office on West Main Street. Nevada City had an office also and its own problems, I guess all rural services grew this way.

Social Security _Qand A series Q. My. medical expenses for 1967 were over $300 and at least $50 of the amount was for services in the last 3 months of the year. I understand that my deductible for 1968 will be met by carrying over the expenses from the last quarter of 1967. Is this correct? A, The "carry-over" applies only in the following situations: 1, If your expenses for covered services are $50 or less for a year, then any expenses for covered services than you have in October, November or December count toward the $50 deductible for the next year; or 2, If your expenses for covered services do not gc over $50 until the last 3 months of a year, then any expenses in those last 3 months which counted for the $50 deductible for that year can be counted again for the next year, In your case, you apparently met the deductible before the last quarter’ of the year. The carry-over deductible therefore does not apply. Q, I have had. almost $50 in medical expenses.so far this year, When should I send in my claim to Medicare? A, Generally, you should not send in your small bills until they have gone over $50 since those would all go toward meeting your deductible. However, if you already have $40 in prior _ bills and then have a doctor bill of $55 and the doctor agrees to bill. Medicare direct. In that case, your should send in your $40 in prior bills so that when the doctor's claim is processed the record will show that $40 of the deductible has been met.

Versatile Hairstyles, Brushes Are.‘In'’ The beauty of hairdos of yesterday was that they offered something for everyone, It’s happily just as true of today’s upbeat versions.

Whateverstyle youchoose, you must back it up with regular hair care and that means a good brush.
