Guatemala Quake Of 1773 Was Mild
Compared to 'Moroneys Hide-o-Woy
Texas OiImun
Rivois PerIe Mestu
As Purty-Thrower
By jones {. Roper
siof Correspondent Of The Star

ANTIGUA, Guatemala. - In
the mountains Of Guatemala,
Perle Mesta has a party throw
ing rival.
He is John Rodgers Moroney,
a Texan with silver In his hail
and gold In his pockets. He's
about the biggest thing to hit
the town Of Antigua since 1773
In that year, an earthquake
fiattened most Of this ancient
capital of Guatemala. Most OF
the ruins still are ruins. Mr.,
Moroney, however. has taken
over an only partly y-destroyed
monastery to operate 1t as q
hotel.
To celebrate this Texas earth
quake in Guatemala. Mr.. Mo-
roney invited in a few guests
600. AS a warmup. he hired the
100-piece Guatemalan National
Symphony Orchestra to play in
what used to be the monastery
chapel.
The Guests Gasped.
The triple-domed ceiling oi
the 18th century chapel proved
such a magnificent sound board
for the cello and other deep
voiced instruments that the
guests gasped.
The guests, who came from
all over Guatemala, wore furs
and diamonds. Outside the
chapel door stood several hun
dred Mayan Indians wearing
hand woven skirts or kits o1
blue. red and orange. The In
dians quietly dispersed when the
guests moved from the chapel to
the monastery patio. where pink
and white carnations hoated in
the centuries-old fountain where
monks used to mediate.
In the cloisters around the
patio, guests danced alternately
to the music Of a jazz combo
and a marimba band. Guests
even managed to dance on the
flagstone pathways as pet ma
caws Squawked.
Mr.. Moroney had a swarm OF
Guatemalan government officials
in escort when the buffet opened

Brazil Conference

RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil
Nov. 20.-Delegates from 20
Latin American nations-mostly

Brazil this week end for q show
down with the United States on
Its economic policies toward this

Newspaper commentaries on
the Inter-American Economic
Conference. opening Monday In
Quitandinha, a mountain resort
20 miles from here, reflected
widespread feeling in Latin
America that the United States
has not been doing enough for
this part Of the world while
handing out billions Of dollars
In Europe and Asia.
But there was q spirit of mod
Grafton in the commentaries and
from various delegations came
suggestions that Latin America
should not expect its northern
neighbor to give them the moon
No "Absurd Proposals"
Brazil's Finance Minister Eu-

previously rigid United States
policy and nov there is hope
Quick acceptance of the Hum

however. Some countries have
been appealing for faster and

sphere, the Rio newspaper Diario

Start Day With A
Nutritional Meal

CHICAGO - The old saying
early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy. :" can only
be true in the long run if you get
up early enough to eat a good
breakfast.
A recent two-year governmental
survey of 600 men working in in
dustrial plants revealed that many
are not getting their daily three
square meals. Other research has
shown this is also true of teen-age
girls, working women, and women
worried about their weight.
The meal most often neglected
is breakfast.
Start the day out right, means
eat nutritionally balanced break
fast, one that will fuel your body
for the activities ahead" accord
ing to Milton Hult, President of
the National Dairy Council
The survey of 600 industrial
workers was conducted by the New
Jersey Experiment Station. Fig
ures from the study issued by the
u. S. Department of Agriculture

2. A fourth of the men were low

3. Diet records and medical
exams revealed shortages of the
important B vitamins (riboflavin

Conclusion included:

too little milk and ate too few cit

leafy vegetables.
2. Diet records showed the over
weight men were sighting break

The report cited this latter kind
of eating as leading to overweight
and causing a lack of appetite for
food rich in minerals and Vitamins.

so many people think all you have
to do is count calories. They
think is you consume too many,
too little, or a specified amount of
calories each day, you'll be accord

The really important thing, the
dairy organization president says,
is to get about one-third of the
nutrients you need at each meal

ergy needs.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-11-16

The easiest way of doing this,
he says, is to chose the protective
foods (dairy foods, meats, fish,
eggs, fruits, vegetables, cereals
and breaO. These foods give a
high proportion of nutrients to the
number of calories they contain.
According to Hult, these are the
foods which give you health while
they give you energy"
WILD TURKEY FUTURE GAME
COLUMBUS, OHIO - Once
again wild turkeys are roaming
the hills of southern Ohio and so
far the experiment with these
noble birds is proving successful.
During the recent weeks, at least
IL hrods of wild turkeys have been
seen and, according to wildlife
technicianS, there are probably
more.
True wild turkeys are very diff
ficult to propagate and require un-
limited range of the type found in
southern and southeastern Ohio.
Although the turkey may never be-
come so numerous as to form an
important part of the hunters bag,
it could some day provide addi-
tional pleasure for the hunters in
the hill counties.
Sportsmen are being urged by
officials of the Division of Wild
life to assist in every way in Civ
ing as much protection as possible
to these birds. Cooperation, on the
part of sportsmen, will go a long
way in helping to establish again

family responsibilities this may
indicate that most of us buy our
health policies with an eye to the
future and for the benefit of our
dependents rather than for our
selves.
Female VS. Male Heads
Oddly enough, families with a
woman at the head of them, al
though seemingly less secure than
those with man in the house,
are less likely to carry health in
suranCe. On an average 1870 of
families with female heads carry
insurance as contTasted with $50
of male-headed families. Sur
VeyOrs did not think, however,
that this means that a woman in
a mans role is more reckless or
less fearful of the future than the
man she replaces. What is prob
ably does mean is that women,
even though they are the bread
winners, are less likely to have
jobs that bring them in contact
with insurance opportunities.
Nearly 800 of all the people
carrying health insurance got
their policies through their place
of work or through membership
in some group. Nine per cent
hold policies which they got while
members of a group but kept after
leaving. Thirty-two per cent of
all policy holders signed up as
individuals, because it seemed to
be a good idea. If these add up to
more than 1000 it's because of a

Who Has Health
Insurance Now?

Some S9,5O0,000 Americans to-
day carry some kind of health
insurance - financial protection
against the extra cost of hospital
care and doctors fees in case of
medical emergencies. Whether or
not you are one of them depends
a great deal, however, on what
you do for a living. If you're a
steelworker, a miner, a depart
ment store clerk or work in any
other industry that employs large
groups of people you probably do
carry h e a tn insurance. Your
employer your mi.Hn or both may
take care of it for -" and the
premiums are deducted more or
less painlessly from your wages
or added to your organizationaI
dues. The major coverage has, in
fact, developed on the group basis
with the cooperation of employ
ers in business and industry.
Eighty per cent of all families
with insurance got it as men,
bers of a group, by payroll deduc-
ttons, at their place of work.
Group enrolment has made pos
Sible lower premium ch arg e S
than are possible for individuals,
because the risk is spread. There
are fewer restrictions and limi-

usually been required to form a
health insurance unit, although
the trend is in the direction of
smaller groups. Individual poll
cies have only recently become
generally available. Those work
ing by twos or three's for small
independent employers and hold
ing insurance have, therefore,
been smaller in numbers.
Anybody under 65 is eligible to
apply for insurance through the
many private or non-profit volun-
tary health insurance plans in the
US. A recent survey of health
insurance policy holders by the
University of ChicagoS National
Opinion Research Center under
the sponsorship of the Health In
formation Foundation reVea us,
however, that most of us seem to
need that extra shove from above
or behind in order to make us
sign up. There are good reasons
why. For independent policy
holders, the premiums run high
and the benefits are more restrict
ed than those which cover men,
bers who join in large groups.
Other Health Information Foun-
dation surveys are seeking facts
today that will provide some
basis for banding these toner's
and small groups of employees
together so that they can qualify
for group benefits, 1t is proving

Income Affects Insurance

Unfortunately, it seems that
those who need health insurance
most are the ones who are least
likely to have it. The Health
Information Foundation survey
disclosed that of the families
who carry any kind of health in
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-11-16

surance have an income of more
than $450O per year, and half, less
than that amount Less than
41@6 of the families whose earn
ings are under $500 carry insur-
ance. In the $4,000 to $4,000 per
year income bracket the per-
centage jumps to 71Gc and fami-
lies who earn $4,000 or more are
SOCC insured.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-11-16
Worth the Cost

Many low income families, how
ever, seem to think that health
insurance is worth sacrificing for.
There are at present 20 million
people in the us. who earn less
than $4,000 in cash per year (their
incomes may be boosted by pay
ment in grain, food, clothes, etc.
but even these families are 300
insured against some medical
emergencies. Since five to six
million people at any one time
receive public welfare assistance,
they are part of the 20 million
under $4,000 per year and they are
not, of course, able to purchase
health insurance.
Once you have health insur-
ance coverage, you can continue
to protect yourself and your de-
pendents even after you reach
old age. With rare exceptions,
however, people over 65 are not
eligible to enroll for new poll
cjeS. After 65 there is a sharp
drop from the national level of
nearly 7OGS to 500 and after age
IS there is a further drop of $50.
Since persons in this age group
are not likely to acquire new

tiles, although each Blue Cross
group is independently operated.
A basic requirement for approval
of all plans is that they be non
profit and that the public be rep
resented on their governing
boards. There are SO Blue Cross
plans in the United States and two
of these are in North Carolina.
The two North Carolina Blue
Cross plans are Hospital Care As
ISOLATION, located in Durham, and
Hospital Saving Association of
North Carolina, with home offices
in Chapel Hill. Hospital Savings
Association is the larger organiza-
ton but Hospital Care Association
is the older. Both have several

branch offices scattered through
out the State and both have men,
bers in all the 100 counties except
Tyrrell, as noted previously.
The most difficult problem fac
ing both Blue Cross plans in North
Carolina is the problem of enroll
ing rural people. Indeed, this is a
problem for the program through
out the country. Apparently, Hos
pital Saving Association has been
able to cover more of the less
density populated areas of the
State, thus indicating that it might
have been more successful in en-
rolling rural people into its mem
bership. The membership of Hos
