Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1966-04-16 J. A. Beauchamp Medicare Seen Increasing The Nursing Quotas The heavy demand of the medicare program on hospital may drastically increase the number of nursing and convalescent home in the next several years, Comptroller General James L. Bentley said here Friday. "We've had a sharp increase in application for new homes already this year," Bentley told members of the Dublin Rotary Club. Bentley, state fire safety commissioner, said his office must license all convalescent homes after a careful fire safety inspection. Proposed homes are inspected in the blueprint stage to insure they will meet minimal standards. State law has required such inspections for many years, Bentley said, but many convalescent homes in Georgia were never inspected before the last three years. "When we took office, there were simply no records in this area. There was no method of regular inspection. It was, in fact, impossible to toll how many of these nursing homes existed in Georgia," he said. In 1963, Bentley said, his office set up efficient inspection system and now keeps a running file on each of the 201 licensed homes in Georgia. "Most of these are now inspected in detail twice each year. Our only big problem is the number of converted homes being used for nursing homes, but these are gradually being eliminated," he said. Some 18 new homes were approved in 1965, Bentley said, and new applications this year indicated that the number of such homes may increase sharply. "The medicare program is likely to accelerate this increase in convelescent homes because of the presure of crowding on most hospitals. The number of thse heomes could indicates they are modem, well designed and well stalled. Bentley said. Homer Phillips Alumni Holds 21st Convention The Homer G.

Savannah Gets Huge Work, Training Project For 200 U.S. Welfare Commissioner Ellen Winston recently announced the approval of a gram of $476,753 to launch a work experience and training project in Savannah, under direction of the Chatham County Department of Family and Children Services. The grant will assist in developing an experimental program to help 200 needy persons — 130 men and 70 women — become self supporting. Most of the participants are heads of families who are either receiving public assistance or are potentially in need of it. About 600 dependents are in these families. Dr. Winston said that the trainees receive adult literacy training, vocational instruction, on-the job training, and health and welfare services. The vocational instruction, which is provided through arrangements with the Chatham County Board of Education and the Area Vocational Technical and Training School includes training in building maintenance, heavy equipment operation, welding, appliance repair, drafting, office and clerical work, and landscaping and gardening in addition, other participants will be trained as truck drivers, refrigeration mechanics, and hospital assistants. Public welfare workers will keep in close touch with the trainees and they families to see that health, family or other problems— which might affect the trainees ability to benefit from the project — receive prompt attention. For example, child care will be provided for mothers who would be unable to participate without this service. Since the program was started two years ago, Georgia has received $3,458,720 in Federal grants for work experience and training projects conducted under public welfare aid was authoried by Title V of the Economic Opportunity Act. Sunday School Lesson The aim of the Lesson we are studying today is to help us realie that the greatest gilts we possess are apt to be our greatest curse unless we continually and watchfully control them by affirmed dedication to God's purposes. "Today's lesson – steeped in Biblical hsitory though it is, and tragic - is nevertheless equally applicable in this day and time applilives both collectively and individually. Through our study today, we should learn to shin the evils of extravagance, of division in our church life, and the squandering of what we are capable of becoming by God's Grace. The reign of Solomon commenced with God's blessing; the king was blessed with wisdom, compassion and understanding. However, like many of his forebears, he proved to be a very human being, and as such, he fell heir to human transgressions. His many wives, who no doubt were taken as political alliances from tribes and kingdoms, who worshiped false gods and were strangers to the concepts of Chrisfaulty, so weakened the great King, that he lessened his vigilance of himself and gradually adopted their concepts. His reign ended ig luminously, as did all reigns that had forsaken the path of rightcousness. This was what Rehoboam in herited. He could have listened to the pleas of the people, who wanted o be freed from the yoke his father's reign had put upon their shoulders towards its end; he however, listened to bad advice, and thereby worsened the situation. As a result, the northern tribes revolted with Jeroboam us their reader. Thus came about the division o fa kingdom, and it was lever truly united again. The lesson should be clear to is from the perspective of discance, if nothing else — that division in a country, or in the church, is the cornerstone laid by weakness and crowned by defeat. There are many lessons to be learned from today's Scriptural passages. We must learn to choose the right leader — and that is Christ in God, for He has been tried and proven, He is eternal and unchanging. We must learn to choose the right la headquarters for our lives — God's Church and God's Will. We must heed good advice (not bad) and we have the Bible to consult in this regard. For nothing has — or can — come about, that we cannot find a reference to it in the Book, and guidelines for us to steer by in coping with it. We must be fair in our dealings with others for anything less than fairness breeds distrust and hatred. And, although the many different religious that nourish among us attest to one of the greatest freedoms of the American people (freedom to worship) we must be ever aware that warring factions within this framework presents a contusing picture to those less fortunate people abroad that we want to-win to our way to democracy, and be very united in the religious front we present to the world United we stand, divided we fall! We should certainly let the example of human folly, before us in this lesson, convince us that salvation lies, to the greatest extent. in the way we conform to Divine wisdom.

Supreme Court A ruling by Fulton Superior Judge Durwood T. Pye, that two sections of the county's Chief Judge Act are unconstitutional has been nullified by the State-Supreme Courts. The Georgia high court upheld the Act Thursday, noting it provides protection against abuses by the chief judges to overrule the reof the judges to overrule the replacement of the chief judge. Pye had ruled the sections unconstitutional in order to take a case not assigned to turn. The local bill, passed by the General Assembly, gives the chief judge of the court the right to assign cases to judges and establish court rules. Pye said the act "infringed upon, cut down, limited and restricted the power, authority jurisdiction and control of Supreme Court judge." The Supreme Court, however, said it is not inconsistent to say judges in milti - judge circuits "shall have co - equal jurisdiction and authority, yet, be subject to reasonable rules designed to expedite the business of the court....." Advance Planning Makes Vacationing More Enjoyable Careful advance planning can mean the difference between an enjoyable vacation and disappointment, according to the Michigan Tourist Council. It isn't too early to start thinking about a Michigan vacation and the Tourist Council suggests that you take advantage of balmy spring weather to shop for a summer hideaway. The look-before-you-book practice is a sound one and early vacation shoppers will find many spring events on tap between now and Memorial Day, including: Maple syrup festivals, Shephered and Vermontville; National Trout Festival, algaska; blossom festivals. Benton Harbor-St. Joseph and Traverse City; Tulip Time, Hlland; mushroom festivals. Lake City and Boyne City, and the reenactment of the Fort Michilimac. kinac Massacre, Mackinaw City. Sportsmen will be in the spotlight with trout, walleye, muskie and pike fishing, and several canoe races. Vacation shoppers will also find a variety of activities scheduled throughout the state during Michigan Week, May 15-21. Part of the fun of any vacation comes in planning where to go and what to see. With a wide variety of accommodations, from plush hotels to rustic lakeside cottages, there is something to fit nearly every pocketbook. Many resorts offer "package vacations" with the price including both lodging and food. Vacationers can do themselves and resort operators a favor by writing early for reservations. The operators will be more able to book choice accommodations if contacted in early spring. Vacationers should be specific in cutlining vacation plans when requesting information. The number in the party, arrival time, meals and services desired will aid a resort in making reservations. Don't hestitate to ask for advice on the kinds and amount of clothing to bring. Such questions can save unnecessary packing. If you are travelling by auto the route to and from the area is a prime consideration. Highway maps and travel guides will help in planning these routes and side trips to interesting historic sites and scenic vistas. When your plans are complete a weekend "test run" to the are will provide a pleasant springtim diversion as well as firsthand knowledge about the route and facilities. Free vacation planning information, including a calendar of spring events, can be obtained by writing he Michigan Tourist Council, Stefens T. Mason Building, Laning, Michigan, 48926. Conyers Calls For Full Enforcement Of Rights Measures Congressman John Conyers, Jr., (Dem - Michigan) called for the "full and immediate enforcement of existing civil rights legislation." In a speech prepared for dailyery April 11 to the Capital Press Club, Conyers said "I am looking forward to the passage of a new bill Which would eliminate jury discrimination, protect Negro Americans and civil rights workers from violence, and grant indemnification to the victims of such violence. He added, however, the most important objective for the civil rights movement in 1966 is stronger enforcement of the 1966 Voting Rights Act and the 1964 Civil Rights Act also need-full implementation of the decisions of the Supreme Court banning the poll tax and requiring 'one man, one vote legislative apportionment." Since laws which are already on the books are not being vigorously enforced it is unlikely that new legislation will be even adequately enforced," said Conyers. "The illogic of passing laws and handing down decisions just so we can say that we have made better laws is obvious. "We must keep demanding full enforcement from those who are charged with administering these laws if we ever hope to guarantee true equality for every American citien." In his speech delivered to the group of newsmen at the Campbell AMD Church, Conyers said "I had hoped that the year 1966 could be one in which we could realie many of the dreams of the civil rights struggle. But, if the first few months of this year are any indication of what the entire year will bring, we are still faced with formidable challenges which must be met with concerted, action, only 300,000 Negro Americans have been newly registered to vote in the South under the Voting Rights.

These gastrointestinal disorders, are far from a laughing matter, at least not to the estimated 14 million Americans, or over seven percent of the population, who now have or have had an ulcer of the duodenum or stomach. A new illustrated pamphlet, entitled "Peptic Ulcer," now available from the Public Health Service, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, explains why in easily-understood language. Prepared by the National institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases (NIAMD), which conducts and supports research in gastroenterology, and is one of the nine National institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., the pamphlet notes hat each, day an estimated 4,000 nore persons develop an ulcer, and that eaoh year about 10,000 individuals in the U. S. die of complications of peptic ulcer. The 13-page pamphlet presents general background information on peptic ulcer. It also outlines the muses, symptoms, techniques for diagnosis, and current methods of treatment, both medical and surgical. The more serious complicalons of ulcer, such as hemorrhage and perforation, also are discussed. Virtually' all peptic ulcers occur n the small intestine just below he stomach, or in the stomach itelf, according to the pamphlet. Those in the duodenum, or first ortion of the intestine, are called duodenal ulcers; those in the stomch are called gastric ulcers. In his country, duodenal ulcers are stimated to be about eight times tore common than gastric ulcers. Either type may occur from inancy to old age but they are most equent after the ago of 20. Peole in the, 30-to-50 ago brackets are ightly more prone to ulcers, and iey occur in people in all walks t life, Although both men and omert develop ulcers, they occur ore often in men. Recent statists indicate, however, that the indence of peptic ulcer is increasgin women.
