RED GROSS CARES FUR HUNDREDS INJURED IN
 TENNESSEE CYCLONE

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May H. One of the worst cyclones in years struck Tennessee Wednesday af- ternoOn and in the course of a few minutes had practically wiped out five communities, with casualties running to over 150 dead and many more injured.
 Thirty to 40 deaths were report ed from Overton County alone, with the toll still rising as authori- ties continued their rescue work. The American Red Cross was on the scene shortly after daybreak to care for the hundreds injured.
 One of the pitiful features of the cyclone was the annihilation of a whole family of seven, father, mother, and five children, whose home was swirled up into the maw of the storm. No trace has been found of them.

Health Insurance
 Plan Endorsed by
 Chamber Commerct

A SUGGESTION THAT THE CITY OF SEWARD IN- ACCURATE COMMUNITY HEALTH INSUR- ANCE PLAN WAS ENTHUSIASTICALLY RE- CEIVED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE COM MUNITY ENTERPRISES THAT HAS BEEN PRO- POSED IN YEARS
Seward daily gateway., 1933-05-11

 fixed the individual would have budgeted his entire expenditures for professional services for the next l2 months, and would need have no fear of heavy doctor bills coming in at some unexpected time during the year as the result of some unforeseen accident or sickness. Also, the two yearly physical examinations provided for under the plan would insure continued good health and prevent the development of apparently minor ailments into serious illness.
 SERVICE TO BE AVAILABLE
 Under the Seward Community Health Insurance Plan, the fol- lowing service would be available to subscribers:
 l. All professional services (op- erations, obstetrics, testing eyes, office and house calls).
 2. All physio therapy, (zoalite Diathermy, ultraviolet, massage, etc).
 B. All anaesthesia (spinal, ether, gas, locaD.
 A. All laboratory (blood tests, urinalysis, gastric-analysis, micro scopic examinations).
 5. X-ray limited to the equiva- lent of $15, with the exception of gastro-intestinal or genito- urinary series which will be included in the $15 x-ray.
 Office calls limited to five differ ent conditions per month; provid- ed the doctor may specify as many more as he wishes. As an example, an injured hand may require IS daily dressings during a month. This will be considered one condi- ton.
 House calls limited to one per month or 12 per year; provided the doctor may call at his own discre- tion without charge. As an exam pie: he may be called for an ill., ness during the month and return the next day as follow-up call; for this there will be no added charge.
 COST TO MEMBERS
 The cost to each member will depend upon the number who join in the plan. A minimum of 25O persons, each paying $2O has been fixed as essential to insure the success of the enterprise. The cost per person will decrease as the number increases. Thus, if 300 members are obtained the cost will be decreased to $16.75 each; 400 drops it to $1250; while 500 members will lower the cost to $10 per person. It is believed that at least 250 people will take ad- vantage of this opportunity, so the plan will be started upon that basis, with each member required to pay $20. If the membership exceeds 250 the proportionate de- crease in the pro rata cost will either be refunded or applied upon the following year, whichever the individual member may request. The plan will go into operation July 1, 1933, provided at least 250 persons have become members and have paid their $2Q each.
