If a patient is in the hospital at least 3
days, and is then well enough to move to a
nursing home, Medicare will pay for up to
100 days there. However, after the first 20 -
days, the patient must pay $5 a day toward
the bill.
His is the responsibility of placing those
students who wish to'work part-time on or
off campus, as well as those wishing full-
time off-campus employment.
Dodson estimates there are at present
about 4,500 graduate and undergraduate stu-
dents employed on the Texas campus. His
office, he says, places an average of 500
students per month in full- and part-time
jobs.
In addition, there is an unknown number
of students who have found jobs on their
own.
So the practice of working one’s way
through college is by no means outdated.

As to the $3 paid for supplementary cov-
erage, the patient should remember that he
pays the first. $50 of the annual medical bill,
and 20 per cent for the remainder.
Some parents still say “no” to theii chil-
dren; some even spank a child occasionally.
You could probably find some people left
who do not own cars and/or televisions, and
individuals still exist who do not buy any-
thing on time.
Look, then, for a moment at another
anachronism of our great affluent society:
the student who is working his way through
• college. His breed is not nearly as close to
extinction as many would believe.
According to John Dodson, director of
student financial aids at the University- of
Texas, probably more than half its male stu-
dents are employed at least part-time.
YOUR HOROSCOPE
The Stars Say
FOR TOMORROW
Saturday promises to be a most enjoyable day.
Early hours will be auspicious for launching long-
range projects, ' successfully concluding business
negotiations and generally advancing material in-
terzsts. Late P.M. favors travel, outdoor activities
and:social functions.
FOR THE BIRTHDAY
If tomorrow is your birthday. the coming year
should provide some excellent opportunities for fi-
nancial gain and job advancement. As a Geminian,
you are endowed with a lot of Ingenuity, imagination
and originality. Harnessing these iraits, you should
go lar. For instance: As of three weeks ago, you en-
tered a highly auspicious S-month cycle where both
monetary and career interests are concerned, and
this period should more than compensate for the
last two years, when your material interests have
been somewhat on the slow side. On the fiscal score,
while the entire five months, will be excellent, your
outstanding months will be July, August and Sep-
tember. Next good period for increasing assets:
From Feb. 1 to April 15, 1967. Despite fine stellar
influences, however, do not speculate during Au-
gust, and do avoid extravagance during the latter
part of December. ,
Where career matters are concerned, you should
show continual progress until the end of September.
association honored a rancher from the new state.
Another year the guest was a Scottish lass and
another the Narcissus Queen from Hawaii.
All of these special guests were chosen through
letterwriting contests. This year there was no com-
petition. The association decided to honor the news-
man whose quips led to its formation—Henry Fox.
For almost 20 years, Fox has confined his jour-
nalismto writing a country philosopher-type column
published in weekly newspapers throughout the
United States.
He now lives on a farm in a small community
called Circleville in Williamson County. Besides
writing the column, he raises cattle (but never
wears cowboy boots) and manages a couple of farms
which produce cotton, pecans and gravel.
His wife, Marie, is Mama’s younger sister. Back
before World War II she was. editor of the weekly
Frankston Citizen. Fox at the time was publisher,
editor and page 1 columnist for the weekly newspaper
at Centerville.
The two got to feuding in their columns and one
day a young man, a stranger, showed up at the
Citizen office and asked for Marie.
He was, he announced, a friend of Henry Fox
and had been sent to Frankston to find ont if
she was single and what she was like.
She was single, she was a good - looking and
intelligent blonde, and these facts were duly re-
ported in Centerville. Thereafter, the column ex-
changes took on a new note and pretty soon Fox
himself was coming to Frankston to call on his
confrere.
In time they were married and the headline
over the wedding story in the Dallas Morning
News read, “Publisher Weds Editor After Romance
in Type.”

the costs, and the elderly' patient is just as
responsible for part of the expense.
Insurance will continue to play an im-
portant role in the lives of people, including
the elderly.
Patients cannot expect their doctors to
know all the answers in the federal assis-
tance program. A flood of literature, news
releases and free government publications
has been spread over the land, regarding the
Medicare program?
Too many people, however, continue to
labor under the false impression that the
elderly will get everything paid for in medi-
cine and treatment once July 1 rolls around.
It is more the patient’s responsibility to
become aware of the' Medicare provisions
than the doctor’s.

and airlines

The recent payola included a free membership
card in the Madisonville Sidewalk Cattlemen’s As-
sociation. It entitles me to participate in the or-
ganization’s annual fun festival and feed on Friday,
June 3.
Madisonville is unique among Texas towns in
one respect. It has a set of rules governing the
wearing of cowboy boots in public and penalties for _
violations. The rules are:
- 1. Owner of at least two head of cattle—entitled
to wear boots.
2. Owner of three head—can stuff the right pants
leg in.
3. Owner of four head — can stuff both pants
legs in.
■ 4. Owner of six head—can wear spurs. Yippee!!
Penalties for violations are:
1. Buy drinks for everybody In yelling distance,
then take off boots.
2. Buy drinks for everybody in sight, remove
stuffed-in pants leg.
. 3. Suspension from wearing boots for two weeks,
remove stuffed-in pants legs.
4. Suspension from wearing boots for three weeks,
remove stuffed-in pants legs.
The association had its beginning 25 years ago
when Henry Fox, then editor of the town's weekly
newspaper, the Madisonville Meteor, noticed that
some citizens wearing boots in public there didn’t
own so much as a milch cow.
Fox poked fun at such people in a page 1 column
he was writing at the time. First to feel his barbed
wit on this score were two young Madisonville
lawyers whom he called “sidewalk cattlemen.”
This term struck the public’s fancy in Madison-
ville and pretty soon they got together and formed
the Sidewalk Cattlemen’s Association.
From that time forward, the association has spon-
sored a communitywide celebration on the first Fri-
day in June of each year, and on each such occa-
sion it has a special guest.
Fox served as tub thumper for the association
for a number of years after it was founded and out
of his fertile imagination came these guests, among
others:
xThe GI Who Hates Texas the Most (they made
a Texan out of him).
xThe World's Happiest Taxpayer.
xThe World’s Most Weather-Beaten Cowboy.
xThe World's Driest Rancher.
One year, they enlarged and had 18 South Ameri-
can cattlemen as their guests:

their legislatures on a “one-
man, one-vote" basis. Some of
the last-minute pressure that de-
prived him recently of an ex-
pected seven-vote margin of vic-
tory in the Senate was undoubt-
edly exerted in deference to the
left-wing Americans for Dem-
ocratic Action.
The ADA has all along as- .
sailed what it describes as the
“rotten borough” implications of
permitting small towns and ag-
ricultural regions to be “over-
represented” in some state leg-
islatures.
It is of no little interest, then,
that a confirmed supporter of
ADA, Alfred M. Bingham of
Connecticut, has’chosen to dif-
fer with his brother liberals on
the “one-man, one-vote” reap-
portionment of state legislatures
that is now going on all over
the country.
Bingham is one of the many
sons of the late Sen. Hiram
Bingham and a brother of Rep.
Jonathan Bingham of New York.
In the 1930s he edited Common
Sense, a liberal magazine that
was only slightly less influential
in New Deal circles than The
New Republic.
After a post-World War II
stint in occupied Germany he
turned his back on the big city
to practice law in Norwich, in
eastern Connecticut, and he was
elected to his State. Senate for a
term. Though still a good card!
carrying liberal, he now
emerges as a champion of the
right of the small towns to unit
representation in at least one
house of a state legislature,
at least one ADA-er touches
hands with Ev Dirksen.
To Bingham, local unit rep-
resentation has both its good
and bad features. Bingham ad-
mits that it was a little strange
that, before the Supreme Court
spoke, a small Connecticut town
of 400 could have the same rep-
resentation in the lower legisla-
tiv chamber as a bit city of
160,000.
But he observes that, even
with pronounced malapportion-
ment, to coin a word, Connecti-
cut had a less corrupt state gov-

It added:
When Medicare goes into effect there is
going to be a great deal of disappointment
among the elderly citizens who are qualified
for benefits under the program...
Many of these people are still under the
false impression that Medicare will pay'all
of their medical bills in the future. Despite
the politicians' promises, this is far from
being true and it's a good idea to have some
cash or supplementary health insurance set
• aside.
For instance, qualified citizens must pay
for the first $40 of a hospital bill. If the
confinement is for more than 60 days, the
patient must pay $10 for every extra day.
After the extra 90 days, the patient is on
his'own. Therefore, a long illness can be
expensive, even under Medicare.
Medicare does not provide for a private
of "equal protection of the
law."
When smi'i towns lose repre-
sentation as units in state legi-
islatures, the power inevitably
.passes to th'- big cities and the
suburbs. Bu‘ the big city is sel-
dom a good nursery of demo-
cratic feeling
Urban populations are root-
less and often jobless; they de-
pend more and more on Wash-
ington mones. The suburbs, on
the other hand, are better able
to take care of themselves. The
new alignments being forced
by the Supreme Court will ac-
tually favor the suburbs, where
the wealth if piling up.
So "one-man, one-vote” will
not save the city, which might

come rather meaningless when
a corrupt urban machine im-'
poses its will on “faceless num-
bers" in a metropolitan wilder-
ness.
Bingham, oui of his own state
legislative experience, argues
that the vitality of American
democracy springs from respon-
sible local self-government. The
French theoris. de Toqueville,
he says, learned this in pre-in-
dustrial New England, where
the town me6' ng insured par-
ticipative demrcracy.
The habit of democracy is best ,
learned in small groups. As
groups increase in size, says
Bingham, on v the federal prin-
ciple — representation of the
smaller unit in the larger—can
assure democratic participation
all the way to the top.
To answer the Supreme
Court's claim that “unit repre-
sentation" is an invasion of the
individual’s right to equal influ-
ence in a governing body, Bing-
ham proposes to combine the
'old system of geographical rep-
resentation with a system of

flying ideas on expansion this
year—but only slightly. And the
cutbacks are far from uniform.
While some industries are low-

they now plan to spend more
than they reported just - two
months ago.
These are the findings of a
recheck of corporate intentions
by the McGraw-Hill Department

today that sales of used ma-

says the demand is growing for

The slight lowering ol capital
spending plans for the rest of

factors! President Johnson's
