Show FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1966 THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH PAGE SEVEN A SONG III THE AIR By Mary G. Brandt . A11f ARTHA hurried along the Icy streets to the urocery store for the raisins she had forgotten. The wind whipped the blue silk babusks about her face as she bnt to watch her footstepi on the Icy walks. Her mind was busy with planning the many chores of the day before Christmas. If ah could only have gotten to the telephone, she thought, but with Mary and the two children arrlv-- I lug home yesterday, for the first Ume in two years, and everyone calling up, that had seemed im-- I possible. She hoped the excite-nen- t wouldn't be too much for Father! She would make the raisin sauce, and mince pies today, and bake the ham. Tonight she would stuff the two big turkeys, ready to start them roasting early In the morning. Maybo she would need tome more stale bread, too? . . . She did wish she could go to the jhi ty fur Mary this afternoon! jut with everything else, that was mpossible. Thank goodness all the decorations were hung, but she must still put a wreath In the pan-try window, for old Mrs. Gilly when she came to wash the dishes. Martha sighed, as she shifted "Well." Jake remarked, "U they're like their mother, they are surely good looking! "Yes. and I must hurry on," Martha said. "You bet. That's what my wife says with Ave children to do for. Well, Merry Christmas to you!" "Merry Christmas," Martha echoed. Merry Christmas? For whomT She hoped she could hold out unto it was over . . the hurry, the confusion ... the tired-ness, and when she could put her feet up somewhere and rest, Chimes In the red brick church around the corner rang out a hymn; It disturbed Martha's line of thought as she plodded along. O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL . . , rang out the chimes. Martha stopped and pushed back the ba buska the better to hear the clear voices. O COME-LE- T US- - ADORE HIM . . . CHRIST . . . THE KING. Martha stood for the moment with her face lifted to the blue sky. She hadn't noticed before how the sunlight sparkled on the iej tree tops. They looked like gigan tic Christmas cards, (like the onei she must still write and send.) O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL . . the heavy carrying bag. Of course she loved Christmas, but, It would seem good too, when It was all over with her aching feet, and her habit of forgetting things. Where waa this "Marry Christ-mas Peace on Earth" . . .today? Was it only for the ones who did not have to get it ready? Before Mother went .... it had been 'JifTeren,t, and Christmas was al-ways a happy, merry time. Tears clouded Martha's eyes fjr a moment. She wiped them way hastily as she saw Jake Brown, the town's one policeman coming around the corner. "Hi there Miss Martha," he jaid heartily. "I hear Mary got iri town yesterday," "Yes," Martha replied, "with t ie two children . . , They're darl-- i igs, but boys are strenuous!" Who were the "faithful?" Mar tha wondered. As she stood listen-ing to the words of the ancient hymn that hymn that Mother used to play for them to sing, in memory she was again In the back parlor with the group around the old upright piano . . . and Len's voice cracking on the high motes! She smiled In remem-brance; and for the moment, she wasn't even tired. (Maybe . . . maybe she was jealous of Mary? she thought ruefully). Then, may-be, oh maybe, they could all have a "sing" together once more, this year! And suddenly , . .suddenly . . , the magic and mystery, end the peace of Christmas returned to Martha with the chimes, and it was really, truly . , , "MERRY CHRISTMAS" . . . aa-ata- .

MEDICARE SERVICE NOWJWA1LABLE Wives and children of uniform-ed servicemen living in Utah may now use civilian hospitals and physicians at government expense. The program in Utah was made possible by the cooperation of the Utah State Medical Assn. and the Utah State Hospital Assn. The Dependents Medical Care Pian, Public Law 509, will be administered in Utah and a ma-Mon- ty of states by Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Lewis G. Hersey, executive director of the Utah Plans, announced. In the past, the federal govern-ment has pruvided medical care !for dependents in military facili-ties when available. The "Medi-care" program passed by the 84th Congress provides civilian hos-;pit- ai and medical benefits to wives and children of service-men on active duty with the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard. Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Ser-vice and the Coast and Geodetic Survey. Mr. Hersey said the new law provides up to 3(J5 days of hos-pital care in semi-prima- te ac-commodations and full hospital services when hospitalization is required for acute medical con-ditions, surgery, contagious dis-eases, emergency treatment, ma-ternity and infant care. To receive this care, depend-ents will pay a total of $25, or $1.75 per hospital day, which ev-er is the larger amount, to the civilian hospital. The govern-ment will pay the balance of the bill. The government will also pay the attending physician in accor-dance with local fee schedules for treatment of the conditions previously named. A limited in-demnity will be paid for diag-nostic laboratory, pathology and radiology outside the hospital. Blue Cross-Blu- e Shield will pay the hospital and attending physician directly for the care rendered dependents. The .Plan will in turn be reimbursed by the government for payments made plus an allowance for ac-tual costs of administration. The dependents will not re-ceive Blue Cross-Blu- e Shield identification cards, Mr. Hersey said, but will shortly have iden-tification forms supplied by the Department of Defense. The De-partment of Defense and the De-partment of Health, Education and Welfare are the government agencies in charge of the pro-gram. The Medicare program was in-troduced during the last session of Congress in order to save the cost of expanding military hos-pitals to care for these depend-ents and to prevent a shortage of military doctors that might develop when the doctor draft ends in July, 1957. The program may also make military service more inviting to young men by assuring them that their wives and children will have proper medical care if required.
