ber Of changes in benefits fou
Washington area subscribers this
year.
Most significant of them, a.
described in The Star yesterday
is the move to reduce maternity
benefits next October. In at least
one important instance, however
coverage has been increased
against the high costs of hospital
care.
The increased benefit gives
more protection to CHI partici.
pants who must be hospitalizet
while they are away from thu
Washington area.
Previously. CHI paid such sub.
scribers $3.50 a day toward thu
cost Of hospital rooms in thu
out-of-town hospitals and casi
allowances against other charges
Same Protection Extended.
Under the new arrangement
subscribers get financial protec
ton against virtually the entir,
hospital bills-regardless Of hov
much money is involved-just a
they would in hospitals here. Thi
benefit covers disqualification il
about $500 institutions through
out the country, where voluntar,
prepayment plans of the Blu,
Cross Commission are in effect
It was made possible through
|GHI's participation, beginnin,
this month, in an "Inter-Plal
Service Benefit Agreement" Sc
up by the Blue Cross Commission
The commission has set up 3,
bank to handle the exchange pro
gram. This is the way it works
A CHI subscriber, l1ospitalize,
in New York, would get the sam
protection against his hospita
bill as the Blue Grass plan ther
gives its own subscribers. Tn
New York plan then would bill
the bank for the amount it spent
The bank, in turn, would bill
CHI for the amount, plus a serv
ice charge.
CHI, under the plan, will gran

Participation in the inter-pla1
agreement will cost CHI abou

Subscribers Being Informed.
The inter-plan bank agreemen
is one Of the major projects o
the Blue Cross system. which wa
organized to foster the principl
of voluntary insurance, as oppose,
to a system of Government healtl
insurance.
CHI currently is distributin
pamphlets to subscribers, whicl
list revised benefits, but which d.
not compare them with those pre-
lviously in effect. AS in the cas-
of maternity benefits, some O
the changes are hinged on tn
necessity Of bringing CHI incom
more in line with spiraling hos
lpital costs.
One change is that virtually al
of the subscribers hospital ex
penses will be paid by CHI TO
continuous periods of hospitaliza
tion ranging up to 81 days, wit
a $5-a-day cash allowance 10
continuous days in excess of 81.

Through a typographical error

COOP CALLS IN PUR RCHASE TICKETS

Coop customers are urged. to turn in their purchase savings tickets at the Coop office within the next week or two.
 Clayton Esslinger, MVFCA ac- countant, observed that the fiscal year for the Coop ended May 31. In order to facilitate computa- tions for making out the 1O-year dividends for customer-members, these tickets should be in by June Is, he said. The tickets should be sorted according to source-Trading Post, warehouse, and garage.
 Purchase savings tickets have been issued by the Coop only for the past five months. Pre- viously, records of purchases were kept by the MVFCA, but SO much bookkeeping was involved that the ticket method of having each customer account for his own purchases was adopted. Div idends amounting to five percent of the purchase totals are payable in 10 years.

TAPS MARK THE CLOSE OF ANOTHER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE

Short but impressive was the ritual memorial service held at the Palmer Cemetery by the local post of the American Legion and the Legion Auxiliary promptly at II am. on Memorial Day.
 Color guards were MT. and Mrs. Jack Dunlap and MT. and Mrs. Richard Demming, the ladies rep resenting the Auxiliary and the men the Legion. Edward Ueeck and Arthur Marsh were the honor guards. The men were dressed in white shirts and their Legion caps.
 Chaplain Eugene Kirsch read the ritual prayer and Commander Stanley Laird spoke the Memori- al message. And we shall spread flowers upon the graves of our dead Veterans" he said. And as he said it, Sergeant-at-Arms Bob Johns placed poppy on each grave that was marked with an American flag in Legion stand ard. The ladies of the Auxiliary placed poppy wreaths of white spruce boughs and American Legion poppies on the graves of each dead veteran.
 Then a volley of shots sounded through the air as the 1Ozman firing squad led by Herbert Hoft discharged rifles in unison. Then from a pair of bugles came the sound of the taps-echo taps, marking the close of another day of remembrance.

CONS STARVATION
 NOTES
Lew Hanks

There comes time in the life of every columnist when it be- comes sort of a. job to think of something to write about. Look ing back over my notes I see I've written about the wind, soil ero- sion, wind, water, wind and crops. Have you noticed the breeze we have had this week? We'll, per haps we can say something about the weather. There is something about the Weather-We can't do too much about it. According to reports they are just starting to plant crops at Fairbanks. Charles Wilson reports that the season on the Kenai Peninsula is also later than here. In spite of our little breezes I still think this is the best farming section in Alaska.
 We have been doing something about part of the weather though. We have been doing some irrigat- ing. The Soil Conservation Ser vice has sprinkler setup operat- ing on the Frank Linn farm. It will be set up on the Victor Fallz farm by this week end. The pur- pose is to gather information on the economic feasibility of apply ing irrigation water to pastures. Some cage plots have been estab- ished on each farm. The forage from these plots will be measured to determine if water makes any difference in total yield and to what extent. If you are interest ed drop around to one of these farms and get acquainted with the operation. This man-made rain is great stuff, hope.

MT. and Mrs. Vernon Fridley and their son, Vernon, Jr. left, the Valley yesterday to go Out side to live.
 MT. Fridley, who came to Pal mer six years ago and has been associated with the Matanuska Electric Association during most of that time as line foreman, will be associated with his father in a tourist court business near Santa Cruz, California. MT. Frid- ley had helped with the construc- ton of the facilities many years ago. The health of Mrs. Fridley's father was another factor induc- ing the family to go Outside at this time.
 MT. Fridley has been Scout Master of the local troop of Boy Scouts since Rev. Victor Alfsen left the parish nearly year ago; before that he had been assistant Scout Master. Last week Tuesday at his last meeting with them, the Palmer Boy Scouts presented Scout Master Fridley with a handsome pen and pencil set as a token of their appreciation.
 A farewell party was also given to the Fridleys by the United Protestant Church on Monday. May 26. They were presented with a set of carved ivory fruit knives as a parting gift. Both MT. and Mrs. Fridley has been active in church affairs, he having acted as treasurer of the Sunday School and president of the Church Council. Mrs. Fridley has taught for the past few years at the

FISHERMEN FINED: LOSE
LICENSES FOR VIOLATION

Taking advantage of the holi- day, two local anglers were caught fishing closed waters at Cottonwood Creek in the area commonly known as the Mosier place about 4:35 pm. Memorial Day.
 The plausible excuse given EVIL man Bob Burkholder by Ben Hudgins and Glenn Eagon was the use of an inaccurate map that indicated the creek emptied into open water, instead of the closed area as was the case.
 They were fined $25 apiece, with $15 of the fines suspended plus the loss of their fishing lic- enses, following their plea of guilty in U. S. Commissioners Court June 2.

18th Street
New Shortcut
For Motorists
School Buses
Using Road To
Carry Pupils

School children at Sigsbee Park
are now able to cross the island
directly on newly constructed 18th
street, City Director of Public Ser
vice Ivan Roberts announced today.
The new $500 road leads the
huge Navy housing project right
to Duck avenue. Thirty feet wide
it permits not only school busses
but motorists going to Wickers
Field stadium to cut their time
and distance. 1t further lightens
the traffic load on Flagler avenue.
Before 18th street was ready for
use, First street and Fifth street
were the only channels across the
island, north of White street.
Though the road has not been oiled
yet, it is being used by grateful
motorists.
Roberts supervised a grader
operator, bulldozer operator, roll
er and the water wagon operator
on the job.
1T would have been completely
done now except for another sewer
breakdown" Roberts said today.
The hard top road will be a boon
to the entire city, not only to ten
ants Of Sigsbee Park. It makes a
short cut to the other side of the
Island.
The city started the job of rolling
mari on 18th street on August Is.
Cost of the job was $1,000.
