«md Social Security S. S. QUESTIONS, ANSWERS Q—Can a person getting social security sign his check with a mark? A—Some persons sign their check with a mark because they cannot write. Two people must witness the mark and sign their names on the check. If a person is no longer capable of signing his name, the nearest social security office should be contacted. A representative payee may be appointed. RECEIVE PERMITS AND RENEWALS The Kosciusko county alcoholic beverage board renewed a permit for Frog Tavern, Inc., Kitson Park, Wawasee; John and Mary L.

Letters To The Editor: Martin On Medicine

Dear Editor: I am sending you a copy of a letter I have written my brother, E. J. Levemier of Grand Rapids, Minn., whose son, Jim, graduated this spring from the Minnesota University Medical School. He is a high class boy who is bound to be a credit to the medical profession. You may print this letter because I believe that all the publicity and all of the information that the American people can obtain on the subject of hospitalization and medicare under social security is in the interest of the well-being of our social security program. I have your letter of July 18 enclosing the picture of you standing by Jim during the Medical Graduation Exercises. I am glad you want me to have it because I appreciate it very much. I, also, refer to the comments you make about the doctors having the right to charge what they do. The point I want to make is that a great many of the doctors, who have been practicing for a long time and have made gobs? of dough in the last several years, have increased their fees by some 25 per cent to 50 per cent and, no doubt, some of them have doubled their fees since social security medicare came into being, not only to those persons past 65 who can get the money back from social security but they have also tagged the younger generation with increased fees and this is what is irking the social security administration board—and, they already are beginning to do something about it. They realize that a great many doctors, clinics, hospitals, medicine manufacturers and all* these participants in health requirements, have stepped up the sting and are bleeding the social scurity administration beyond all reason and when socialized medicine comes, if it ever does, the American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons and the medicine manufacturers will have “asked for it” through what is going on today. Don’t get the idea that I mean
