A special type of membership also
would be offered to provide "full
medical and surgical services, where
disqualification coverage already is
provided under other plans" such
as through an insurance company
or Group disqualification, Inc, here
Another separate part of the bal
lot, now before members, provides
for admission of members generally
in groups without discrimination as
to color. This would change the
present practice, which confines
CHA to white patients only.
Explaining this point, Mr.. Becker
said that CHA now was prepared to
care for colored persons. During
the war it had been decided to con-
fine services to white patients, be-
cause Of shortages of service and
personnel, he said.
Dues would be increased from the
present $1-25 to SITS a month for
each Of the first three children in
family; and from $225 to $3.50
per month for each adult. There is
no charge for children exceeding
three in a family.
Service Is Complete.
The service for these fees, 1t was
explained by Mr.. Becker, is com
prehensive and complete" includ-
ing patients visits at the clinic,
home calls by physicians, and at
hospitals, and disqualification up to
so days per patient each year, ex-
cept the cost of unusually expensive
drugs.
y Purpose of the proposed postwar
expansion of CHA, Mr.. Becker ex-
planned, 'is a desire to be of more
service to the community, and
through larger membership to op-
crate the services more economically
and with more effective utilization
Of facilities, services and specialists" /"
Many people outside the Govern
ment are asking to join CHA, he
reported.
He said hospitals and the medical
profession had been extremely CO.
operative" in the past year, and
there was a growing public demand
for prepaid medical care.
Proposals Based on Survey,
The referendum proposals now be-
fore members, he said, ARE based
on recommendations of the Board
of Trustees growing out of an in
tensive study of the needs of the
associations members, and consul
tation, with many authorities, on
modern developments in the provi-
sion Of medical care. Group Health's
announced postwar goal, he added,
Is a comprehensive prepaid medical
service provided by staff organized
on a group medical practice basis
and available to all who seek such
service" r~..-. -~
Cooperation Of community agen-
cies will be sought in carrying out
the program, 1t was indicated.
At the annual meeting Wednes-
day, report also will be made on
the contributions of CHA mem
bers for the purchase of vitamins
at cost at the CHA pharmacy for
shipment to war devastated areas.
The pharmacy sends such yitamins
to the United Church Service Cen
ter, New Windsor, Md, which is
cooperating with UNRRA in ar
ranging for shipment of food and
clothing for overseas relief.

cal care administration of the La

criticism Of British American war

safely.
Answering charges he said were

today in British newspapers that
the British Admiralty improperly
organized one convoy. Mr.. Eden said
in a speech:
1T seems to me it was un-
gracious that our ally should single
out the fate of one convoy for re-
monstrance."

In all the history Of life insurance no. plan
has benefited the buyer as much as THE
ACACIA WAY which ACACIA'S President
William Montgomery introduced twenty years
ago. This plan provides mutual insurance at
rates as low as and in some cases even lower
than those charged by companies which do not
pay dividends to their policyholders. 1t assures
every ACACIA policyholder share in the
profits Of the company in the form of real
earned dividends.
The insurance industry said, st couldn't
be DONE. that only the old, costlier plans
were practical. Yet from its very inception
THE ACACIA WAY has proved successful
and has saved ACACIA policyholders an
enormous amount of money each year.

covery were high lights Of report

ans we're told that they should as
sumo more governmental RESPONSE

noted that a plan for barter with
Japan had been completed. child
