HIGH
In BLUE CROSS
Chicago Commission Says
Delaware Retains 1947 Sec
Ond Place Position
RHODE ISLAND FIRST

Word has been received from the
Blue Cross Commission in Chicago
that the Delaware Blue Cross Plan
in 1947 retained it's position of Sec
ond in the nation for percentage of
population enrolled for hospitaliza-
tion and other health services.
With 147439 persons covered by
81, $50 contracts, the state was Sec
ond only to Rhode Island. The
Delaware figure, representing
more than half of the population,
compares with 132,197 covered by
55,475 contracts in the previous
year. Payments to hospitals and
doctors by the Delaware Plan dur
ing 1947 reflected an increase of
more than so percent over benefits
paid in 1916. Last year more than
10000 persons received better than
$4,000 days of care. Hospital and
surgical expenses amounted to ST.
1920. The gain in cost was
caused principally by soaring hos
pital rates, now 100 percent. higher
than in 1912, and 35 to A percent
above 1916. The jumps have re-
suited in a hike in subscribers
payments, effective the first of this
month. Net growth for the nation
during 1947 was 3,772,029 mem
bers, bringing total enrolment to
29,498, SGT on December 81. The
increase was the second largest in
Blue Cross history, exceeding the
average annual enrolment
by nearly a million. Nearly 20
percent of u. S. citizens now are
members of 81 plans throughout
the country. At Blue Cross head
quarters here, Harold v. Maybee,
Managing Director, ascribed both
national and local increase to "evi-
dence that Blue Cross Plans are
the public demand for
health services on voluntary,
community-sponsored, non-profit
basis of prepayment"

CONTEST OPEN
TO GARDENERS
$4,000 Contest Open To Boys
Fourteen to Twenty-one
Years of Age
STATE HAD A WINNERS

Delaware junior growers whose
members won four awards in the
1947 production and marketing
contest of the National Junior
Vegetable Growers Association will
have another opportunity in 194S
to improve their stellar records.
In announcing the eighth annual
contest, Prof. Grant B. Snyder of
the University of Massachusetts,,
senior advisor to the association,
points out that Delaware boys and
girls between the ages of IA and
81 are now eligible to compete for
the $4,000 in agricultural scholar
ships offered by A - P Food
Stores each year.
1.-THE annual contest, in which
junior growers from 43 states par
ticipated last year, is designed to
make the farmer more effective
through improved production and
marketing methods" Snyder said.
"It takes on added Importance
during 194S because of the asso-
ciation's pledge to President Tru-
man to support the nations food
conservation program. Junior
growers can enroll through their
local All Club leaders or agents
and through instructors in voca-
tional agriculture or directly
through Prof. Snyder at Amherst,
Mass. In addition to the produc-
tion and marketing contest, this
years NJVGA program will again
include the junior growers annual
demonstration contest for which
funds are provided by David Bur-
pee of the w. Atlee Burpee Seed
Company. The Burpee awards con-
sist of trips to the NJVGA conven-
tion held annually in December,
for those who score highest in the
state demonstration contest.
Further cash awards are made at
the convention to the top six dem
teams in the finals.
Winners in the 1947 contest from
Delaware include: Vaughn P. Fox
Of Newark, Bobby Fry of Harring-
ton, and Louis E. Brown and Don
aid F. Bullard both of Harrington.

EDITORIAL: Smyrna club wom-
en- at a "round table" discussion at
the Century Club meeting last Fri
day suggested Town Council look
into the matter of "better pave
ments, cleaner streets and beauti-
flying the entrances to town." The
women appreciate these things.
Let's have it.
An improvement that Smyrna
Town Council can make is to re-
move the big traffic post" at the
-Four Corners" and have an over
head stop light or standards at the
right hand corners at the curb.
Clumsy zone posts in the center of
street intersection are now passe
and are not seen in progressive
cities and towns. Besides it makes
for harder turning around these
posts especially in such narrow
streets as Smyrna has. Speaking
of narrow streets Council could
still make another improvement
by rounding the corners on narrow
streets so automobiles could turn
without risk of scraping their
