tea and crackers to the German Of

away. One of them said, eff you

Lunch time in the enlisted mems

Blue Cross Plan
Service

One of the most popular and fast
growing community services in
Washington County, the Blue Cross
Plan for disqualification has 'come
of age" despite its comparative
newness, with the announcement by
the Associated Hospital Service of
Baltimore that 10000 people in this
county are now assured of hospital
care through membership in this
nationwide, non-profit organization.
By small monthly payments, made
through his employer or through a
group of employees, the Blue Cross
member is eligible for, if he needs
it, at least 81 days care as a hospital
bed-patient during each subscription
year, with all hospital expenses ex-
cept his doctor bill paid.
During the last five years since The
organization in 1899, the Blue Cross
has paid expenses at the Washington
County Hospital for 1883 subscrib-
er-patients.
Blue Cross protection is available
only to employed groups through
their place of employment, the uni
form charge being IS cents per
month per employee. For $150
monthly, coverage is extended to
husband or wife of the employee for
all disqualification except maternity
benefits, in provision for which a
charge of $500 monthly is made. A
monthly $500 payment will also pro-
tect husband, wife and all children
over three months and under 10
years of age, including maternity
care. Leaving the employed group
through which membership was cor
tracted does not cancel the subscrip-
ton, as long as payments are con-
tinued.
Each individual or each member
of the family group covered is eligi
bic for 81 days care annually, in a
semi-private room in member hos
pital. Cost for the following, re-
CARELESS Of their size, is also paid in
full: Laboratory, X-Ray, operating
room, meals, anaesthesia, medica-
tions and dressings, oxygen, serums,
etc., and all other customary hospi-
tai services, except the physicians
fee. In the emergency room, care is
given without cost to the subscriber
for service within "a hours of an
accident. After subscriber has
been enrolled for twelve months, he
may receive an allowance of $500
per day up to so days beyond the 81
days period, provided he did not re-
ceive benefits during the preceding
subscription year.
An ever-increasing list, which now
includes more than IT'S companies,
stores and other groups, furnishes
disqualification service on a payroll
deduction basis. Among these are

ger Metal Works, Hagerstown Shoe
