VIRGINIA HOSPITAL
GIVES FAMILY INSURANCE

The Northampton Accomack Me-
mortal Hospital is one of the few Of
over $50 hospitals offering hospitali-
cation service that have an insurance
for family groups or dependents.
One of the plans offered by this hos
pital gives 81 days service to each
member of a family at greatly reduced
rates after the first member of the
family has subscribed. Another plan
offers 81 days. service for an entire
family and dependents, regardless Of
number, at small rate per year.
Under any Of the plans now in force
an employer Of domestic help, who is
not interested in hospital insurance
policy for himself or herself, can pur-
chase a policy for his employees and
thereby protect them in case of acct
dent or serious illness.
1t is thought there will be another
plan of group insurance offered that
will cover fraternal organizations, CIV
ic societies, public school teachers,
Sunday School teachers and en-
ployees. This plan will apply only
when specified number or more make
application at the same time.
The plans that have been placed be-
fore the public have been met with
widespread acceptance. The volume
for this service is increasing daily and
it is thought the quota which the hos
pital has set will soon be reached.

The results of the ingenuity Of
able lawyers to persuade Legisla-

courts to place shreWd constructions

American people master in the
form of a holding company.
This master is Soulless, imper-

Farms Over State
Lack Electricity
Only A Few Homes In Country
Have Modern Conveniences,
Survey Shows

OLYMPIA, Aug. 10 Wash
ington farmers are not far
removed from the horse and-buggy
days when it comes to using cleo
tricity, according to data received
by the state planning council from
federal rural identification auth
critics.
Seven farms have automobiles
and four have telephones for each
farm that has electrical service.
A nationwide survey Of electro
cal use showed that 70 per cent OF
farmers must carry water from wells
or springs, n per cent have out
door toilets, SO per cent have no
bath tub or shower, 76 per cent
use kerosene or gasoline lamps.
More Power Needed
While electricity could Aot be
used in some of these classes, the
council points out the possibilities
for large use of electricity at cheap
rates when Grand Coulee power be-
comes available. The rural electro
fication administration was founded
to help bring this power to farm
ers' doorsteps by loaning them
money to build transmission lines.
About 10 per cent of the farmers
either depend on candles or are en-
tirely without artificial light; 80
per cent heat their homes partial
| ly or entirely with fireplaces; 81
per cent with stoves and 48 per
cent of farmers wives have TO do
| their laundry in tubs outdoors.
To help remedy the electrical Sit
uation, the presidents four-billion
dollar Work-relief bill contains $780,
900 900 earmarked for these rural
electricity lines.

may set up power districts ano

Money will be lent the districts at
