Many people in the Wilkes-Barre area wait longer than necessary to receive payment from’ their Medi- care medical insurance because they failed to submit itemized bills with their request for payment form, Thomas Lavelle, Social Secur- ity manager in Wilkes-Barre, said recently. Medical insurance is the part of Medicare that helps pay for doctor bills, outpatient hospital bills, and other items and services. not cov- ered by hospital insurance. To receive payment under medi- cal insurance, a person generally submits a request for payment form along with itemized bills for serv- ices rendered.

Some run away, others are abducted by stran- gers or by parents. Each year betwen 20,000 and 50,000 cases of missing children remain unsolved by the police. Parents can take positive actions to protect their children. They can teach them: — That no adult has authority over them simply by virtue of size- that the children cari say no. — To know their home address, including the city and state, and phone number with area code. — To use both pushbutton and dial phones for local and long distance calls. — To memorize ernergency phone numbers. — To run to the nearest public place, store or police station, if they feel unsafe. — To watch for enticements from strangers-like candy, gifts, money, or requests to help find a lost dog or cat. : — Not to get closie to a car if a stranger calls out for directions or anything else. It is easy for a stranger to pull a child into a car. — Not to open the door to stran- gers. — Not to tell callers that mom or dad isn’t home. Say they can’t come to the phone and will call back. — Not to walk alone if they can help it. — To walk near the curb, on lighted streets at night, and against the traffic, and to travel known routes. — To run away, scream and make lots of noise if they are followed or grabbed by a stranger. The last thing a dangerous siranger wants is a lot of attention. — To go to the checkout counter and wait to be called on the loud- speaker if they are separated from you in a store. — Never to go out to a parking lot alone. anyone or any incident has made them feel uncomfortable. Finally parents should keep recent, clear photographs of their children in at least two different poses. : The July Tip of the Month will be “Caring for Yourself’, which also deals with problems a child can encounter. For further information on the Luzerne County Crime Watch Asso- ciation, you are invited to call 825- 2218. Motorists are warned The Valley Auto Club ‘would like to issue its annual warning to motorists urging special care and extra alertness now that ‘‘School’s Out — Watch Out”, is especially important for drivers to bear in mind in areas where they're likely to encounter children at play. The Valley Auto Club notes three ares that should be of special con- cern to motorists: recreational areas, including playgrounds, swim- ming pools, and ball fields; urban areas where children ar likely to play in or near the streets; and where curves and driveways often create blind spots for drivers. Remember, it’s up to drivers to be alert for youngsters enjoying the warm weather. Extra caution can help guarantee that every child will be able to return to school this fall.
