The National Health act Is. 1906
HW 1890 would provide for farm
people:
Prepaid personal health benefits fol-
all members of the family, including
Doctors services, disqualification
up to 81 per day, laboratory and elm
ical fees, special appliances (such as
eyeglasses), dental care, home nursing
care.
Adequate COMMUNICATIVE public
health services, health services for
the needy, special health services for
maternal and child care, funds for ex-
banded medical research and educa-
ton.
Health at Least AS Good AS That
of City People
There was a time-before the de-
velopment of modern health services
in the cities--when the country was
the healthiest place to live. But the
glowing pictures of healthy rural life
no longer jibe with cold facts.
Deaths of mothers in childbirth: one
third higher in rural areas than in
large cities.
Deaths of babies in their first year:
one fourth higher.
Preventable deaths from diseases
such as typhoid and diphtheria: regu-
larly higher in rural districts
Rejection rates for World War II:
SO out of every 100 farm boys reject
ed, as against 40 out of 100 in gen.
eral
Under the National Health act, farm
areas could catch up and keep up with
modern progress in health and medical
science.
Medical Care at the Time 1t Is
Needed
Too many farm families must wait
with that trip to the doctor until after
the crops have been sold and there's
enough cash to pay the doctor. Dread
of debt keeps countless farm families
from seeking early medical care.
Under the National Health act. moth.
ing would stand in the way of timely
and complete care at the time sickness
strikes.
Family Doctors Within Reach
Even Specialists
The faithful country doctor is a ia
miliar part of farm life. But there are
far too few of them
One doctor for every widely-scat-
tered LOO persons in rural counties
One doctor for every $50 persons in
the big cities.
The cities offer physicians more
adequate incomes more elaborate ia
cilities. Under the National Health act, |

FISH UNION IS INDICTED FOR FIXING PRICES
First Union Prosecution Under Anti trust Laws
 Is Launched

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.--Local 36 of the CIO International Fish, ermen and Allied Workers of Amer ica and Is of it's officers and members were indicted by the Fed eral Grand Jury today on charges of conspiracy to fix prices of fresh fish brought into Southern Cali fornia ports.
 William c. Dixon, in charge of tk'e nti-trust division of the De- partment of Jusice on the Pacific Coast, said it was the first time the Department had challenged un- ion tactics under the antitrust laws.
 Defendants named included Jeff Kibre, San Francisco, International representative of the union, and officers of San Pedro, Santa Mon- ica, Newport Beach and San Diego units.
 The indictment, declaring the members of the union are not lab orers in the ordinary sense, but in dependent business men who sell their catches independently, charg- ed that the alleged conspiracy pre- vented California and six other western states from receiving their normal supply of fresh fish.
