BELL SYSTEM EMPLOYEE BENEFIT
PLAN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD

The Bell System Plan for sickness,
accident and death benefits and pen
,sions went into effect January 1, 1913,
and thereby established for employees
q substantial degree of assurance. and
assistance in meeting these exigen-
cies. In announcing the plan to en-
ployees, Theodore N. Vail, then presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, stated:
"The intent and purpose of the
employer in establishing plan of
benefits is to give tangible 'expres-
sion to the reciprocity which means
faithful and loyal service on the
part of the employee, with protec-
tion from all the ordinary misfor-
tunes to which he is liable; reci-
procity which means mutual regard
for one another's interest and well
fare.
"This is Justice, and without JUS
tice and sympathetic interest, we
cannot hope to do thoroughly good
piece of work."
These sound principles have since
prevailed and in this anniversary year
it is interesting to recall the point of
view of the plans creators during the
period of study that led to its adop-
tion. These viewpoints, naturally, had
their origin in the feeling of respon-
sibility for the protection of the serv-
ice. Those charged with the duty Of
investigation and recommendation re-
garding the plan were considering
complex business that rendered an
essential public service which by its
very nature must be continuing en-
terprise-a business that, for its ade-
quate functioning, required a loyal
organization having sustained vitality.
To insure such an organization it was
necessary to recognize and make rea-
sonable provision for those hazards OF
life which interrupt earning power
and bring about unexpected and, some
times, heavy burdens. 1t was also
necessary to meet the problem OF
aging of personnel, through an appro-
pirate retirement plan, so as to main
tain the vitality of management and
organization and avoid the result of
continuing on active duty, long-service
employees whose efficiency had become
impaired.
Twenty-Five years. experience in this
comprehensive and uniform program
of employee benefits has fully demon
strated its value to employees and to
the company. It is interesting to note
that these provisions were made be-

PICTORIAL MAP

paid to this state through the medium

For example, Annapolis appears
with a sizable illustration of a corps
of Naval Academy cadets; Frederick
has a likeness of the Barbara Fitchie
house, and Baltimore is shown by a
grouping of four pictures of places
interesting to tourists.
The map has an additional value
educationally in that the states main
industries and agricultural products
are similarly illustrated and located
Altogether there are 26 Maryland il
lustrations.
A large special inset map of Bal
timore shows the main streets, parks
and other places of interest. Another
inset deals with Washington, D. c..
in a similar manner.
A new highway map which appears
on the reverse side of the pictorial
section also presents several changes

the scale of the map has been increas-
ed about seven per cent which has
allowed the addition of more roads
and much useful information. Alto

"A Beauty Bath
that InSureS
DaintineSS

Naturally, the place to turn to for a
tip on the perfect beauty bath is
Hollywood. Contrary to what some
people think, screen stars work very
hard, and they must look their best
all the time. For their beauty baths,
they use soap with ACTIVE lather
that's most refreshing and has the
added advantage Of insuring dainti-
ness.
Fill your tub full of warm water
(body temperature is the ideal). Get
into it and relax for minute or two.
Then reach over for a nice fresh cake
OF the screen stars soap. Cover your
self all over with its rich, ACTIVE
lather. This ACTIVE lather rids the
pores of stale perspiration, every
trace of dust and dirt. Wiring out
your washcloth in cool water and pat
it on yourself especially your chest
and back. A good brisk rub with q
Turkish towel, and you'll feel alive
and refreshed-even after a hard
days work.
This beauty bath is a wonderful
substitute for beauty nap-what's
more, 1t makes you sure you're dainty
leaves a delicate, clinging fra
GRANGE you'll love.
