service at flu clinic

Bill Burton, a representative from the Public Service Com-

mission, Tallahassee, will be present at the AARP Flu Clinic

to provide literature, applications and assistance for signing
up the Life Line & Link Up Program

Life Line & Link Up is a federal telephone program. Ev-
eryone with a land line phone pays $1 a month into a federal
fund. Money from the fund is used to pay the federal portion,

$10.50 a month on the basic charge for phone service.

The telephone company providing service pays $3 a month
for a total of $13.50 for those low income and public assis-
tance programs, i.e. food stamps, SSI and others. A one time
payment of $30 will be paid for installing phone service.

Last year $47,000,000 was collected from Florida resi-
dents but only $17,000,000 was spent on eligible residents
which resulted in 30,000,000 Florida dollars being spent in
other states. Only 17 percent of those eligible in Florida have
signed up for the service. If you think you may be eligible for
the service, please attend.

Rosemary Suangia of Health Watch will present infor-
mation for hearing impaired persons to receive hearing en-
hancement services. This is a state program with only two

ing Enhancement programs will be held Oct. 3'in the fellow-
ship hall of the Williston United Methodist Church, 213 West
