Washington County Hospital approved for Medicare
The Department of Health Education and Welfare approved Washington County Hospital to participate in the Medicare program. The Federal Health Insurance Program becomes effective on July 1 1966. A heavy shower midmorning caused brief sheltering and basement checks while soil was already soaked, delaying corn and bead planting. A large Washington High School Baccalaureate crowd heard Rev W J Stevens urge reliance on Christian principles and Bible guidance. Duane Bower, son of Mr and Mrs Dale Bower, promoted to Lance Corporal in the US Marines currently serving in Vietnam. Several local visits, BPW convention attendance, engagements, weddings, and social events are noted along with local personnel changes and hospital patient news.

Livestock prices weakened with yearlings at 26.50 and hogs at 24.50, while corn markets softened though local prices stayed firm. A farm pond yielded bluegills and a small bass for Thaddeus and family.
