My doctor charges $3, which I feel is very reasonable, whenever he prescribes medication for me over the telephone. Medicare refuses to reimburse me for these charges.

Our doctor told us that Medicare would pay for the rental of a wheelchair for my mother but that it would have to be a plain one without a motor. I know that Medicare is paying for a battery-operated A series wheelchair for an old gentleman down the street. Is our doctor mixed up? A. Perhaps not.

Two New Attacks . On an Old Disease WASHINGTON, _ D.C.—For most Americans, tuberculosis is something that periodic chest X-rays tell them they don’t have. Like smallpox and yellow fever, it appears to be a disease of the the past, conquered by modern medicine. But modern medicine requires wealth and technology that few developing nations have. Tuberculosis, far from being a conquered disease, is probably the world’s leading infectious cause of death. Two teams of Peace Corps Volunteers working at opposite corners of the globe are finding out first-hand about tuberculosis in the developing world—and doing something about it. In Malaysia and Bolivia, Volunteers are taking part in tuberculosis control projects sponsored by those governments. In both countries TB remains the No. . communicable disease, killing thousands each year. Volunteer teams in each country consist of about two dozen liberal arts graduates. For most of them this is the first public health work they, havé ever done. The Bolivian Volunteers workin the Yungas, a region of steep. vans ie heavily forested river valleys clinging to the eastern slope of the Andes at elevations ranging from 1,800 to 6,000 feet. Many settlements are accessible only by mule train. ; In late 1966 Peace Corps Volunteers, with the support of two U.S. Public Health Service physicians and the cooperation of the Bolivian Ministry of Health, came to the Yungas. The Volunteers had a demanding assignment: they were to find out who was infected with tuberculosis and who was not; they were to vaccinate those who were free of infection and help treat those who were not. Nine months after the Volunteers arrived, Dr. Thomas M: Daniel, Assistant. Professor of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, evaluated the program. He found the Volunteers enthusiastic—and medically effective. The Volunteers, he said, were helping change the attitude of the people from passive acceptance of tuberculosis as an accepted condition of life to desire to fight and control a_ killing disease. The Malaysian program is similar, but it covers a. larger area— all of West Malaysia, the part of the Federation that used to be called Malaya. Volunteers there joined a government-run program in 1967, being assigned singly to TB centers and district clinics. These centers are staffed by a physician, one or more nurses and several attendants. The Volunteer acts as a kind of team captain, coordinating activities inside the clinic and TB-detection drives outside. When the Volunteers arrived, they found records systems incomplete. No one knew for sure which schools had been visited for vaccinations, which villages had been covered by chest X-ray teams, which active cases were undergoing treatment and which had defaulted. Within one year, the Malaysia Volunteers helped tighten up the program's administration and systematically began to survey areas which have populations of from 70,000 to 150,000 citizens. They have begun working on the second phase of the program—public TB education in communities and schools. One Volunteer created a Malaysian National Tuberculosis Month, a country-wide anti-TB promotional campaign. Malaysian officials say the program, which had been in existence since 1961, needed Peace Corps Volunteers to really get it going. “Seven years ago we thought if we had enough money, clinics and technical tools it would be a simple matter to wipe tuberculosis off the face of Malaysia,” says Dr. Jaswant Singh Sodhy, head of the program. “But we found that these things weren't enough. What was missing was the human factor, because after all we're dealing with people . . people who must be educated about TB. and of course people in our own department who have had no experience in this kind of effort. “The Peace Corps Volunteers have provided the element that had been missing in our program — the human link that makes all the technical things work,” the Malasian doctor said. eeeneneeane nee Teh Royal) benny To my Nevada County Supporters «<>. 1 am deeply gratified and honore expressed in the recent election. — To warrant your continued support, . pledge my full-time efforts to serve you and the interests of this great district.
