we have felt the need for such pro-
lection within the family, but had
hoped of course that it would be
service we would not have to use.
Recently through his own employed
group Mr.. Stewart subscribed for
family membership. The money that
we have saved on this one hospital
bill will pay my membership for the
next eight years. feel that any in
dividual or family is wise to pay a
small amount each month and be as
sured of the best hospital care if
the time comes when such care is
recommended by their physician"
Mrs. Stewart continued: Zone of
the incest things about the service
is the manner in which a Blue Cross
member settles the hospital bill when
the time comes to go home. Here at
Peninsula General, and I understand
it is the same in all Maryland Gen.
eral hospitals, one simply signs the
bill as an indication that the charges
are correct. There is no claim fill
ing-no red tape"
Employees Of one organization and
their immediate families may enroll
in groups through their employer.
The size of the group required de-
ponds upon the total number of en-
ployees in the company. The Blue
Cross has offices in all the Eastern
Shore Hospitals. The Plans Repres-
entative, H. Gayle Bourne, can be
expected to cooperate with any en-
ployed group in conducting the en-
rollment.

Dorothy Wright, r. N. at Peninsula
General Hospital, is Mrs. James
Stewart recovering from an appen-
dectomy. Upon leaving the hospital,
Mrs. Stewart will, after the proper
rest, take up once again the duties
of her home and family. Her dis
charge from the hospital is the same
as it is with any patient who holds
membership in the Blue Cross. In
stead of making payment to cover
the hospital bill Blue Cross member
need only present to the hospital adj

$4,000 Marylanders, including e.
900 residents of Salisbury, now be-

it is not unusual to find that many
of those requiring hospital care have

SENIORS SELECT COLORS,
FLOWER AND MOTTO

At a class meeting on Thursday,
January %, the senior class decided
upon a flower, colors, and motto to
denote their ambition, endurance, and
sincerity as class. After much de-
bate and discussion, the class select
ed for their flower, Ivy.
TO many, the ivy may appear to be
an humble little plant; for in first
loking at it, one fails to understand
it's true nature. True, it is green
and insignificant to the eye; however
SO are many of us. It has been said
that no man can be judged by exter-
nal appearances, so be it with the
ivy. Symbolic Of its nature is this
ever climbing, ambitious, and I'M
daunted little plant.
In accordance with the green ivy,
the class chose for their colors, green
and gold. Green has often been la
beled with such words as ignorant,
immature, and raw; but the green, as
we see it, stands as symbol of fresh
ness and youth. 1t is call of awak-
ening life, showing our inspiration
of fresh and eager talent. Blending
with this color, that means so much
to us, is the rich gold of pure value
and true, honest sterling worth, thu
color of sunshine and the symbol Of
all glory.
The selection of a motto was mo-
as difficult as the selection of thu
flowers and colors. It seemed tina
the class favored repetition of tn
symbolic climbing of the ivy whel
they finally selected "Excelsior-Stil
Higher" This motto signifies ou
determination to succeed at som
