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.
The trouble, Lavelle said, is that
often the bill does not provide a
detailed description of the services
provided and, therefore, a decision
cannot be made as to whether they

The Luzerne County Crime Watch
Association Tip of thie Month Article
for June is titled ‘“F'reventing Miss-
ing Children.”
Between 1.3 and 1.8 million chil-
dren are reported missing in the
United States every year. 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-

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.
