I According to the best sources we have, it ap-
pears that embalming is required in this
country only when a deceased person is to be
transported by train or airplane. However,
embalming is practiced almost universally in
the United States because oT our attitude to-
wards public health and our concept of the
funeral as a religious ceremony.
Because the United States is so large and
the people of our country move about so very
much, it is unusual when a funeral is not de-
layed until the arrival of some of the rela-
tives. If there were no embalming the fu-
neral would have to be held very shortly after
death. Americans are basically religious peo-
ple and funeral services are, therefore, re-
ligious occasions when members of the fam-
ily gather together to recognize that God’s
will has been accomplished. The profes-
sional competence of our staff at Hilliard
Funeral Home, Inc., is one of the factors that
makes a funeral possible and perhaps even a
little bit easier to accept.

Because of the rising cost of
hospital services, Medicare
beneficiaries will be paying a
bit more for hospitalization in
1970.
The deductible payable by the
beneficiary will be $52 begin-
ning January 1, an increase of
$8 over the present amount.
Medicare will continue to pay
for the remaining covered
■services for the first 60 days of
hospitalization for each benefit
period.
For the 61st through the 90th
day of a hospital stay, the bene-
ficiary will have $13 a day of the
covered services to pay. At
present the beneficiary is liable
for $11 a day of such costs.
Medicare will continue to pay
the balance, which will average
over $40 a day now.
“This increase in cost to the
beneficiary is a must, ' ac-
cording to Thomas F. Guy,
social security district manager
in Tyler, "in order to keep the
Health Insurance Trust Fund on
a sound financial level."
“The nationwide average cost
of hospitalization for a
Medicare beneficiary in 1966
was $37.95 per day, including
costs to the patient and costs
paid by Medicare, "Guy pointed
out.
"This cost per day rose to
$49.34 in 1968 and with such a
substantial rise in costs still
continuing, an increase in the
deductible paid by the patient
could not be avoided."
The good tax folks are
concerned over the anxiety
expressed by some taxpayers,
that the new red, white and
blue tax form makes life harder
for the little 1040A card form
user. As most of you know, In-
ternal Revenue punched the
1040A card plum out of
existence this year and gave
taxpayers more space and a
better arrangement on an
improved form 1040, to claim all
of their deductions and credits.
A check by IRS showed that
there were just too many cases
of little taxpayers cheating
themselves by filing a little card
form instead of using one page
of the form 1040. For more years
than we like to remember we
have been advising you to read
those instructions and save
yourself some money. This year
you don't have any
choice you’ll have to read the
instructions, but you’ll still find
that it’s beneficial, just like we
told you it was about ten years
ago.

Cotton Program
Small farm benefits are in-
cluded in the 1970 upland cotton
program, according to G. C.
Lambdin, chairman of the Van
Zandt County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
(ASC) Committee.
Small farm payments will be
11.95 cents a pound times the
farm projected cotton yield
times 35 percent of the farm
allotment. These payments will
be made only to producers with
cotton allotments of ten acres or
less or those who have a
projected production of 3,600
pounds or less on their allot-
ment. To earn this payment a
farmer must sign up for the
voluntary cotton program and
comply with the program
provisions. He may plant no
cotton, some cotton or his entire
allotment and still receive the
special small farm payment.
The small farm payments
provision does not apply where
the transfer of allotments
created a small cotton farm.
That is, Mr. Lambdin ex-
plained, if a producer with a 20-
acre allotment leased 15 acres
for transfer off his farm, he is
not eligible for the small farm
payment on his remaining five-
acre allotment. Nor is a small
farm which is created by
release of allotment acres
eligible for small farm pay-
ment.
All cotton producers who sign
up in the 1970 program and
comply with program
provisions will be eligible for
regular price-support payments
of 16.80 cents a pound times the
farm’s projected yield times the
cotton acreage planted within
the farm’s domestic allotment,
i The domestic allotment is 65
percent of the regular cotton
allotment for the farm.)
All cotton producers in the
1970 program also will be
eligible for price-support loans
based ona a national average
loan rate of 20.25 cents a pound
for all cotton they produce.
