Sen Aiken Sponsors 'Border Amendment9 2 Bennington Banner, Saturday, Novenber.il, 1967 Welfare Dept. Changes Policy on Birth Control approved on a basis comparable to Hum In the U.S. In 1865, Congress adopted par(t of the original Aiken border amendment by including 1 pro posal to cover emergency hos pltal service outside the U.S. clal welfare recipients who specifically requested 11. Wackerman said about 2,000 families receiving aid under the needy families vith children program will be affected by the change.

The new birth control information policy has been under study for more titan a year, Wackerman said, and conies at a time when there is a change of attitude on birth control by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Wackerman said referrals 111 be made primarily to the local medical profession because of the lack of planned parenthood clinics. Burlington and Hanover, N.H. have the only clinics in the Vermont region, The commissioner noted the old policy, initiated in April 1964, recognized the importance of birth control information but limited social workers to refer individuals on welfare to family planning services only if requested.

Community Action Faces Fund Cutoff MONTPELIEH, Vt (UPI) Three projects sponsored by the Central Vermont Community Action council (CVCAC) face a Nov. 30 closing unless Congress appropriates anti poverty funds.

Corologos said current opera, ting funds of $27,173 for the head start, day care center and conduct and administration section of the agency will run out In 10 days.

''J' Thls was to offer emergency protection limited to Illness or accidents occurring within the s. "This did no! protect the elderly citizen In Derby Line, for example," Aiken reported, "who might walk along the street In the United States, cross over into Canada and have a heart attack. Under the law now; a person has to be stricken while In the United States." He also pointed out that thousands of persons cross the border at Detroit, going to and from work in Windsor, Ontario. Aiken said be had heeded the plight of persons In Madawaska, Maine, who had no local hospital and always depend on Ed mundston, New Brunswick, just across a bridge, for hospital care. "If this proposal goes through, Medicare beneficiaries may con linue to use the Edmundston Hospital facilities."
