Medicare
Benefits
Hospital insurance is one
of two parts of Medicare sit’d is
automatic for anyone age 65
that has signed up for or is re-
ceiving monthly retirement
benefits under the social secur-
ity program.
fri each "spell of illness,"
your hospital insurance pays
for all covered services for up
to 90 benefit days except the
first $40 in each spell of i 11 -
ness and all but $10 a day from
the 61st through the 90th day.
Covered services in a hospital
usually paid for include a semi-
private room, regular nursing
services, operating room, medi-
cal equipment and supplies,
drugs and biologicals, and oth-
er ordinary hospital expenses*
A "spell of illness" is the
period of time by which Medi-
care counts your use of benefit
days, [t does not mean a parti-
cular illness, nor cjoes it mean
a single stay in a hospital. The
important thing to remember is
that any time you are not in a
hospital or a skilled nursing
home receiving post-hospital
skilled nursing treatment for
60 consecutive days, a new
"spell of illness" can start, and
you are again eligible for an-
other 90 days of benefits after
you pay the $40 charges again.
Be sure to take your red,
white and blue Medicare card
when you enter a hospital and
any papers from Medicare that
show how many days you have
previously been in a hosDital.

LOCAL BUSINESS
Pubiic Confidence Major Coal
Among the benefits of ad-
vertising some of the more im-
portant are intangible.
Not the least of these is
creation of confidence. It is
impossible to measure the long
range effects of consistent ad-
vertising in a trusted medium.'"'
The manager of one of the
oldest department stores in the
United States has listed public
confidence as the major goal
of his advertising. He said:
"We do not attempt to as-
sess the immediate results of
specific advertisements. W e
know that decades of advertis-
ing in our local newspaper have
created public confidence in
our company to such an extent
that price is a secondary con-
sideration for most of our cus-
tomers.
"Each advertisement con-
tributes to accumulated pres-
tige. It may be designed to
sell shirts on a particular day
but it may help to sell skirts
a year later."
The sales manager of anoth-
er large department store ex-
pressed the idea differently:
"We have experimented with
advertising enough to know
what happens. When we cut
down on our newspaper adver-
tising, out general sales fall.
The cost of recuperating losses
is much greater than maintain-
ing consistent advertising at a
level in keeping with the size
of our store.”
Even people who do not fol-
low advertising closely are con-
sciously affected by consistent
advertising. Consistent adver-
tising is indicative of stability
and a company's faith in its
own future.
The consumer realizes that
I he does not have the insight to
-judge the quality of many prod-
ucts. At first glance two piec-
es of fabric, or two refrigera-
tors, may seem of equal quali-
ty. But hidden differences may
be great. The consumer then
turns to the store which h a s
gained public confidence
through honest advertising.

YouYe ahead...with the strongest Ford ever built
On the Olympic ski jump at Lake Placid,
Ford passes a rugged test of strength and
durability. A regular-production 1967 Ford
plunges down a 40-meter slope . . .
soars 53 feet through the air. .. lands hard
. . . and rides away still quiet, still strong.
Strong enough, in fact, to take the same
jump again and again. What’s the differ-
ence between this car and the Ford you
buy? Only a skid plate was added for driver
protection. And you don’t need that . .
unless you're planning to take some ski
jumps ot your own.
