Protect your budget from the strain of unexpected
hospital bills. Join BLUE CROSS

How much money would you set aside if
you knew you were going to have hospital
bill to pay this year? There isn't any way to
tell, is there? No one can predict the extent of
an injury, or the size of hospital bill.
Blue Gross can protect you against unforeseen
hospital expenses, as it now protects more than
100000 other Maryland citizens. Many of these
Blue Gross subscribers can tell you that Blue
Cross offers broad realistic protection at a
small monthly rate.

Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butter
Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton, the bicen-
tcnnial of whose birth we are now
observing, stands high among our
founding fathers. AS a school boy
of seventeen, he began speaking
and writing in support of the Co
lonial cause, showing grasp of is
sues and a comprehension of the
philosophy of government that
made him at once a feared enemy
to the Loyalist opposition, and a
valued member of the band of pa
triots that spanked the Revolution.
His military skill and boldness
early in the Revolutionary War at
tracted the attention of Washington,
who attached him to his own staff.
Thus was Hamilton able to give
full scope to his grasp of political
affairs, and render invaluable aid
to the general-in-chief upon whom
fell the duties of secretary of war
and chief of staff, as we'll as COM
mander in the field. Hamilton as
sisted the organization of the army,
by drafting plans for the correction
of defects, and by preparing COM
prehensive set of military regula-
tons. In the midst of these mill
tary functions, Hamilton was de-
voting his powerful mind to the
problems of government.
After the conclusion of the Rev
olution, in which Hamilton was priv
ileged to head a brilliant attack,
under Lafayette's command, at
Yorktown, he served a term in the
Continental Congress, confirming
by intimate experience his theoreti-
cal understanding of the challenge
of a new government Hamilton,
more than any other one man, con-
tributed to the adoption of the
Constitution as we have it now,
through his magnificent contribu-
tons in the Federalist Papers, and
his political activities in New York
to assure the adherence of that
powerful state
a similar victory against appar-
emily insupcrablc odds was won by
Hamilton under the Now govern
mcnt, when George Washington
again expressed his confidence by
appointing him Secretary Of the
Treasury. Against Congressional
and administration opposition, he
planned and put into effect com
plicated system of taxation. finance,

Key to Blue Gross:
"Service Benefits"

The heart of Blue Cross is hospital care. Blue
Cross way of providing for the hospital care
you may need is service benefits" These arc,
to put it simply, agreements between Blue Cross
and the member hospitals to provide the hos
pital care you need.
The emphasis, you sec, is on care-not cash.
Blue Cross does not give you dollars TO help pay
your hospital bills. Instead Blue Cross, through
its service benefits pays the hospital directly
for the services covered In your membership.
