achievement
“Behind every 4-H’er you will
find a father and mother’s love
and helping hands,” said a
Texas 4-H’er who won 1966 state
honors.
Both Michael Wheeler, 18, of
Donna and Linda Lilley, 18, of
Lampascs attributed their 4-H
success largely to family sup-
port.
Wheeler, who received a $150
scholarship from the Ford Mo-
tor Company Fund as one of
two state winners in the achieve-
ment program, says that 4-H
brought him and his father
closer together.
“Before I joined 4-H my
father and I were merely two
relatives,” Wheeler said, but
by working together on 4-H ac-
tivities, “we now have a ‘father
and son’ relationship.”
Wheeler’s first project was a
hog. He knew nothing about
raising his hog, but his father
was experienced and they
learned to work together.
In eight years of 4-H work,
Linda Lillay
food*
Wheeler has raised outstanding
4-H poultry, vegetables and
horses. In 1966 he gave the first
place civil defense demonstra-
tion at state round-up.
In addition to holding offices
in his local 4-H Club, Wheeler
has been president of the Hid-
algo County 4-H Drill team and
treasurer of the county 4-H
council.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Wheeler, he now attends Pan
American College.
“A family that loves to eat
and a farm named ‘Hungry
Acres’ are two reasons why 4-H
Food Preservation has been an
excellent project for me,” Miss
Lilley explained.
An exciting week in Chicago,
as a guest of the Kerr Glass
Manufacturing Corporation, has
provided another reason. As
state champion in the food pres-
ervation program, Miss Lilley
was one of the Lone Star dele-
gates at the National 4-H Club
Congress.

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS
Older people in the Big
Lake area who have paid
doctor bills but have not yet
claimed their medicare doctor
bill insurance payments are

benefit payments were delay-
ed because the applicant did
not Include all the necessary
information with their
claims,” he said, “and the
form is relatively simple, but
most people can use some
advice the first time they ap-
ply. We’re glad to offer assist-
ance. and we believe we can
help many people to avoid
some delay in their payment.”
Moellering noted that the
medicare claim may be made
either by the patient or by
the doctor, if he accepts as-
signment of the insurance. If
the doctor applies for the
medicare payment, he bills
the patient only for any part
of the $50 deductible that
still remains to be paid and
for 20 percent of the bill over
the $50 deductible.
Under the other method of
payment the doctor bills the
patient, the patient pays the
bill, and then the patient
sends the completed request
for payment form to the
medicare carrier. A statement
from the doctor showing the
treatment given and the
charges already paid by the
patient must be furnished
either on the request for pay-
ment form or in a seperate
receipted bill.
In the Big Lake area, medi-
care doctor bill insurance is
handled by Blue Cross-Blue
Shield In Dallas.
The same simple one-page
request for payment form is
mailed to the carrier no mat-
ter whether the payment Is to
go to the patient or to the
doctor. Doctor’s offices, ac-
customed to filling out insur-
ance forms, should have no
difficulty providing the few
items of information request-
ed, Moellering noted. But
handling of forms received
directly from medicare bene-
ficiaries is sometimes delayed
because some essential item
of information has been omit-
ted.
If the beneficiary leaves out
his medicare identification
number, for example, it is
impossible to verify that he is
signed up for the doctor bill
insurance, or how much of
his deductible amount has
been paid. Some elderly peo-
ple with failing eyesight are
unable to make legible entries.
And some do not get adequat-
ely itemized receipts from
their physicians, or forget to
enclose the receipts with their
claims. If the request for pay-
ment form is incomplete or

improperly filled out, the
medicare carrier has to write
back to the beneficiary, thus
delaying the payment.
“The social security office
does not make the decision or
pay the claim,” Moellering
said. “The law requires that
the payments be handled
through the selected medicare
carriers. But we can answer
general questions about medi-
care and help people in the
Big Lake area get their ap-
plications ready for review
by the carrier.”
"If an older person cannot
visit the social security office
in person, he can send the
forms by mail or by someone
else,” he said, “but in this
case, he should be sure to give
his telephone number.”
