Derby, district man- ager for Social Security In Hyan- nis cautions those born before October , 1901, who have not yet signed up, that this is their last chance to enroll. He added , "We want to be sure they know the facts about Med- icare Medical Insurance. Then, the decision Is up to them." "This insurance costs $14 a month. A small extra charge is added for late enrollment. Med- icare helps pay doctor's bills ^ no matter where he attends you — in the hospital, in his office , in your home or elsewhere." Other items covered are hosp- ital out-patient services, X-rays or other radiation treatment, sur- gical dressings, splints, casts and braces, and physical therapy fur- nished by an approved agency. If you require a wheelchair or hospital bed in your home, medical insurance helps pay the cost of the rental or purchase of the equip- ment. You must pay the first $50 of each year's medical bills. Medi- care pays 80 percent of reasonable charges for all covered services over the first $50 each year.

ITEM NEW TAX SURACHAGE Many local taxpayers are mak- ing mistakes in computing the new tax surcharge on their 1968 Feder- al income tax returns William E. Williams, District Director of In- ternal Revenue for Massachusetts said today. Some taxpayers are forgetting to add the surcharge to their regular tax while others are figuring it in- correctly. The tax surcharge amounts to 7Va percent of the taxpayer's reg- ular tax. Although the surcharge is gen- erally described as a 10 percent tax, it did not become effective until April 1, 1968 Taxpayers pay 7 _ percent of the tax on all of their 1968 income rather than 10 percent of the tax on income earn- ed after April 1, 1968.
