Many people in the
Victoria area which
includes El Campo,
undergo needless delay in
receiving reimbursement
under Medicare medical
insurance because they
do not include an
itemized bill when they
submit their “Request
for Medicare Payment”
form, Bruce Tyler, Social
Security district
manager in Victoria said
recently.
An itemized bill must
accompany the form if
Part II of the form is not
completed by the doctor
or supplies. If the bill is
not acceptable, the
Medicare carrier will
return the form to the
person and an extensive
delay in payment may
result.
To be acceptable, a bill

Americans have never
been healthier. On the
other hand, they have
been more critical of
their system of medical
care, which many people
regard as too costly,
outmoded, and in-
equitable.
These and other health
care issues will undergo a
thorough examination in
“The Nation’s Health,”
another newspaper
course offered in the
spring semester by the
University of Houston
Victoria Campus in
cooperation with The
Victoria Advocate.
James A. Puetz, Ph D.,
will conduct the three
credit hour course, in
which a series of 15
newspaper articles will
appear each Thursday,
beginning Jan. 22. The
course will explore the
ethical, political,
economic, social, and
personal points of view in
the health care system.
Among these questions
will be the rising costs of
medical care, the
responsibilities of the
individual, health care
practitioners, and the
issues surrounding
modern drugs, medical
technology, and
biomedical research.
Physicians, authors,
and educators, in various
public health specialties
from across the nation
will consider the issues
facing ihe nation’s health
care system in a thought -
provoking series of ar-
ticles.
These articles will be
used in addition to a
course reader They will
be discussed in biweekly
class sessions to he
arranged by the in-
structor and the students
To he eligible to take the
course for credit students
must have completed at
least 54 hours of college -
level work
Students will register
during regular
registration on Jan 15
and Ifi in the UHVC
Administration Building
The nation’s health
care system has im-
proved dramatically in
the past two decades,
Puetz said Most
Americans are healthier
and enjoy longer lives
than they did a
general ton ago Infer-
linos diseases which have
plagued man since the
ta*ginmng of time have
virtually been eliminated
in this country. Our
medical technology is at
an all-time high and
stands on exciting new
thresholds.
Yet more and more
Americans are ex-
pressing dissatisfaction
with the system that has
provided these benefits.
Complaints range from
runaway medical and
drug costs to over -
specialization and the
enormous influence that
a few special interest
groups exert over the
health destiny of
millions, Puetz said.
Puetz, who earned his
undergraduate degrees
and Ph D. from Purdue
University, is presently
teaching political science
at North Harris County
College in Houston.

or the insecticides,
malathion and phosalone
(Zolone).
Apply dormant oil at
the rate of four gallons of
97 percent oil emulsion
per 100 gallons of water.
Spray prior to budbreak
and when the
temperature is between
40 and 70 degrees F Be
sure to thoroughly cover
the tree’s trunk and bran-
ches.
Malathion and
phosalone may also be
applied at bud-break.
Use 25 percent WP
malathion at the rate of
three pounds per 100
gallons of water. Apply
34.4 percent EC
phosalone at one and one-
third pints per 100 gallons
of water at three-day in-
tervals until leaves are
one-third grown or until
egg-hatch ceases
Phylloxera overwinter
in the egg stage and can
be found in protected
areas on pecan trees,
such as under bark and in
crevices. Overwintered
eggs hatch in early spr-
ing and migrate to newly
developing leaves and
twigs.
The tiny pests insert
their sucking mouthparts
into young tissue and
begin to feed, causing
galls to form. These galls
continue to grow and
envelop feeding phyllox-
era.
Inside the galls female
phylloxera lay many
eggs which hatch in just
a few days. Adults and
nymphs continue to feed
inside galls for one to
three weeks Galls then
split, releasing phyllox-
era to migrate and lay
eggs for a second genera-
tion. Second generation
females produce eggs
which lie dormant on the
tree until the following
spring.
