Dear Editor:
 Your recent editorial entitled the Impressive Facts" quoting figures provided by the Amerl- can Medical Association was most thought provoking. These figures, which I presume to be accurate, appear to indicate that the medical care and costs of the elderly are being ade- quately met by existing pro- grams and therefore no addi- tional program is necessary.
 This set me to thinking about the subject. I have done a little research and l find that the AMA figures do not reflect the whole story. Let me give you some figures.
 Only 10 to Is cents of every dollar the aged spends on med ical co st s is reimbursed by health insurance.
 While an estimated 50 per cent of the aged have some form of health insurance, 50 percent do not. The 50 percent who do not have insurance are those with the lowest incomes.
 Only one-third of those with incomes under $2,0O0 a year have health insurance; only one-third of those over 75 have health insurance.
 The cost of adequate health insurance eoverage for an aged couple is more than $40O year. This is one-sixth of the total income of the average older couple.
 The cost of hospital care has risen from an average of S9.39 a day in l946 to $34.98 a day in 1861.
 The average person over 65 can expect two or three illness es during retirement requiring disqualification. A couple can expect five such illnesses.
 One out of every six older persons will be in a hospital somtime in the next year. On an average he will be there for at least two weeks at a cost of $900.
 The average income of an older couple is $50 per week. The average single person over 65 has an income of S20 week; If he lives with his relatives, his income averages $9 week.
 Fully one-half of all retired people have no income other than their social security pay

UN JULY Is, 1859, mysterious passenger
boarded the atomic submarine Nautilus. 1t put
to sea Immediately and for 10 days cruised the
DEPTHS of the Atlantic Ocean. Once aboard, the
nameless voyager had shut himself up in his
cabin. Only the sailor who brought him his food,
and Captain Anderson, who paid him daily
visit, had ever seen his face.
Twice day the passenger handed slip of
paper to Captain Anderson, each piece bearing
combinations of five mysterious symbols: cross,
star, circle, square and three wavy lines.
Captain Anderson and the unknown passenger
signed their names to each sheet of paper. Captain
Anderson put it in an envelope and enclosed it
along with two official seals. One certified the hour
and date The second carried the words, TOP
secret to be destroyed in case of imminent capture
of submarine"
FROM sub to plane
On Monday, the 10th Of August, 1859, the sub
landed at Croydon. The passenger entered an
official car which, under escort, let him off at the
nearest military airport.
A few hours later his plane landed on small
air6eId in the town of Friendship, Md. An auto
mobile was standing by to pick up the traveller. 1t
drove him to building which bore this inscriP-
ton: Westinghouse Special Research Center. No

SESSION TO ORGET
SESSION of the Senate of the Virgin Islands is
over. Thank the Good Lord.
THE CONDUCT of the Senate, and more particularly
the majority party is not only a matter OF public record out
one which brings genuine regrets to those who want % see
real progress in these Islands. But most unfortunate OF all IS
that the behavior of this bodylwas entirely unnecessary.
NO SOONER had the session began than things took a
topsy-turyy turn. Accusations few in all directions, and before
the session ended, the public was treated to the classic spec
tacle of an elected official being escorted to the Senate cham
Der by Police Officers.
THE ACCUSATIONS ran from refusal to allow a min
orhy partyto speak all the way to secret meetings from winch
the minority was carefully excluded. And while all this was
going on members Of the minority would absent themselves,
contendng that they served little or no purpose by being pre-
sent. u
THEN CAME the classic. Senator Doward did not attend
the final session. Despite his plea of illness a Sergeant at Arms
and two Police officers were dispatched for him Our symPa-
thy goes to Senator Coward who, upon being elected, did not
nernaps realize thatwhat came closest to an arrest would oc-
cur during his term Of elected office.
NOW THAT this session of the Senate is behind us, the
members should take time out to assess the situation. Certain
". no elected public official could possibly be proud OF the
behaviorzsaahhd the conduct Of this legislative body. The very
bedrock of the democratic process is shaken when the min
4ohty is penaIized for no other reason than that it IS the mn
orty. The drafting of the budget bill, and all that went INTO
il. represents a blot in that the accusation has come that BIZ
partisan participation was completely lacking
IT'S TIME that out Senate get down to business. 1t has
some time before another session is called. BY that time it is
the nope, and indeed the prayer Of all, that dignity, under.
standing, and sophisdeation will return to the legislative pro-
cess But aside from the right of the majority, it IS a sign OF
greatness that victory be worn with graciousness.

Holiday Traffic
Increases Accidents

Christmas music -. Santa
Claus -. traffic. These COM
ponents form the outward ap-
pearance of every Christmas
Season. Just beneath the sur
face of this holiday spirit runs
an undercurrent of danger.
Danger in the form of in
creased accidents and fatali-
ties during the end of year
holidays. AS pointed out ear
lier by the Highway Patrol
the last IL days of the year
are the most dangerous to
Mississippi drivers. Just how
dangerous?
According to Commissioner
OF Public Safety T. B. Bird
song, Our statistical section
has just provided us with
some current figures on holt
Gay accidents and fatalities
that really drive the point
home. Average figures for the
last three years indicate that
we may expect an accident
every 81 minutes during the
period from December 20 un-
til January l.. And for every
1873 accidents that occur there
will be one fatality. This
compares to an average of
one fatality for every So ac-
.cidents annually.
What this means to our
drivers is that their chances
of becoming a traffic fatality
over the Christmas holidays
is doubled. We do not want
this to happen to anyone. We
are doing all we can to help
our drivers toward a safe
holiday but, in the final an
alysis, the answer lies with
each person who seats him.

wheel. Unless he vows to
drive as carefully as possible

fortunate few that will never

Proposed MSU Lab

Sponsors of a proposed for

ratory, to be located at Mis-

port that the laboratory will
aid in finding new and ex-
banded uses for timber pro-
ducts and will help in at
tracing new industries to
Mississippi.
The laboratory will also
help create future jobs, in
crease income, enlarge pre-
sent timber markets, improve
the quality of some timber
products, and give a big
boost to the states general
economy, according to Phil
Enochs of Fernwood, chair
man Of a special laboratory

ment.
1t is proposed, Enochs said,
that the laboratory be esta-
blished at Mississippi State
University as much of the ex-
listing research equipment
and personnel at the Univer-
sity ould be used for timber
products research and much
time and money saved in

Ways With Holiday Foods


A layer of buttered chopped
nuts on top of your fruit pie
just before baking will give
it a delicious taste.
Candies made of dried
fruits and nuts ground to-
gether are sweets the whole
family will enjoy.
For a special breakfast, try
chopped cranberries added to
your favorite muffin recipe
or breakfast bread. Dried and
glazed fruits added to biscuits
mullins, cookies and cakes
are good anytime.
A tray of cheese and fruit
makes an unusual as well as
nutritious dessert. For exam

Christmas Cards Go
|Airmal AT Bargain

Speaking of bargains, Post
master C. B. Minyard says he
has a real buy, two-thirds
cheaper and thousands OF
times better than it was more
than As years ago.
The bargain is airmail, and
it can be a real buy for late
Christmas cards, Mr.. Vineyard
added.
On May Is, 1918, when, Air
Mail was first officially in
jtroduced in America, 5000
letters were Town from
Washington to New York
City, about 200 miles, at 6
minimum cost of "a cents q
letter.
Today" Postmaster Min
yard said, more than IL
billion letters and post cards
are sent by Air Mail annually
within the United States. Ia
stead of the two flights a day
in 1918 Zone from New York
to Washington and the other
from Washington to New
York; Air Mail is offered
10000 flights daily now
throughout the nation"
Next-day delivery is not
at all uncommon for airmail
from Lexington, Miss. to
points 1000 to 1000 miles OF
more away.
For example, he said, late
cards sent from Lexington by
Air Mail can reach Atlanta
or Dallas the next day.
At the same time, however,
he urged patrons to make
their mail deposits now tc
avoid any chance of late de-
livery, especially for out of
town mail.
Another good emergency
mailing measure if yol
mail late despite the Post
masters warning is All
Parcel Post, which moves al
the same speed as airmai
letters.
The cost of Air Parcel Post
is surprisingly modest. Send
ing parcels weighing more
than ore pound by air is fire.
quently cheaper than using
first class postage. For ex.

Dallas, Texas costs only 73e
A 5 pound package to New
