THE DALLAS POST/Wednesday, June 26, 1985 9 DEAR AUNT PATTY: I recently became disabled due to surgery. Because of this I'm finan- cially unable to afford my Blue Cross/Blue Shield payments of $189.64 every three months. I've gone on Medical Assistance. I now carry a green medical card in my wallet. Can you please tell me if this type of insurance is as good as Blue Cross/Blue Shield? Will this insur- ance cover me completely if I should need further hospitalization and or surgery? STANDING ON ONE LEG DEAR STANDING ON ONE LEG: I cannot tell you the exact differ- ence between the two because I do not have a copy of your Blue Cross/ Blue Shield agreement. I did find out what your green Medical Assist- ance card will cover. I telephoned Mr. John Gurzynski, District Office Manager of the Luzerne County Assistance Office. He said the green Medical Assistance card entitles you to inpatient and outpatient hos- pital care. It includes visits to the doctor. It does not cover drugs except as used as an inpatient in a hospital. I hope this information is useful ~ for you. DEAR AUNT PATTY: I'm writing to correct “Laughing in Lehman’s” mistake about the sign congratulating the 1985 gradu: ates. There is no misspelling! The word CONGRADULATIONS is used when congratulations GRADuates. (The D is substituted so graduate appears to be part of the word). I wonder how many Lehman Knights know of this often used form? I bet not many, you shouldn’t laugh so loud! A MOUNTAINEER SCHOLAR DEAR AUNT PATTY: My brother and I are trying to talk our Dad into letting us rent a VCR machine and some movies for a weekend. Dad says he doesn’t know how we would connect the machine -to our TV. Is it difficult? Do you think a 14-year-old could do MOVIE FAN DEAR MOVIE FAN: agic in Shavertown and they said Pastor appointed Bishop Felton May, presiding Bishop of the Wyoming Annual Con- ference of the United Methodist Church, has announced the appoint- ment of the Rev.

The connec- tion involves plugging the machine into an electrical outlet and pushing a connector onto the back of your TV. I tried it myself and I feel that anyone who can read should be able to follow the illustrated directions written on the VCP machines. The video store where you rent the machine will also give you a demon- stration. DEAR AUNT PATTY: Four of my friends and I tried Canfield’s Diet Chocolate Fudge Soda. We all think it tastes awful. We can’t believe people in this area have been anxiously awaiting its arrival in Dallas. LOVERS OF REAL CHOCOLATE DEAR LOVERS: As the old saying goes ‘To each his own’. DEAR AUNT PATTY: I have been reading several reci- ground chicken or turkey. Do you know where I can find it? MRS. M DEAR MRS. M.: Ground chicken is sold at the Chicken Plus Store in the Dallas Shopping Center in a two pound frozen box. Weis Market has ground turkey in a one pound size in a wrapping like ground sausage is sold. For people who are trying to cut down on their consumption of red meat and cholesterol, the ground poultry is a good idea. Also, it is cheaper than beef. When the ground poultry is used in recipes like spa- ghetti sauce with ground meat or chili, it is hard to tell the difference. DEAR AUNT PATTY: I am not going to vote anymore on election day, because by the time I pass thru the “vultures” handing out tickets and begging for votes who stand outside the polls, my blood pressure is up, my body is tense, and my ulcers aroused. These people are offensive to my The. recent arrival of the newest member of your household is the perfect time to arrange for a WEL- COME WAGON call.

A friend tells me there is a law that says that there can be no ‘“‘vultures’’ passing out tickets within one block of a polling place. Is this true? If so, why is it not upheld? Can you check into this? If the police need a formal complaint to uphold it, I will do so. I'll anxiously be watching your column for an answer. WANTS A FREE PATH TO THE POLLS DEAR FREE PATH: I contacted Phyllis Mundy, Presi- dent of The League of Women Voters, to find an answer for you. In “The Guide to the Conduct of Poll- ing Places on Election Day” pub- lished by the Luzerne County Board of Elections as a guide for Judges of Elections, Inspectors and Poll Watchers it states, “No partisan political activity may take place within 10 feet from the entrance to the polling room”. I hope this infor- mation will be useful for you. You may have to take your tape mea- sure with you to the next election!
