Henry T. Claus. and Philip G.
Rhoads. Two new public members
elected are Gene Derrickson and
Carl w. Dobos.
The decision to widen the avail
ability of extended benefits" COW
erage was hailed by Fl. V. Maybee,
managing director of Group Hos
pital Service. as another major
pioneering step in our continuing
efforts to meet the health coverage
needs of the community"
He said that Group Hospital Ser
vice was among the first in the
nation TO offer extended benefits"
coverage as a supplement to the
Observation-Disclosures coverage.
of the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plans
and as a protection against the eX-
penses of long-term illnesses. The
local plan was also among the first
to offer coverage for senior citizens
who were not previously Blue Cross
members. This coverage is provid-
ed in the "65-Limited" contract.
Now the board has decided to offer
an extended benefits supplement to
that contract so that older persons
who are "65-Limited" members may
get wider coverage at reasonable
cost, to include more hospital days
private duty nursing and nursing
home care.
The new form of extended bene-
fits for older persons will provide
$50 days of coverage with a max
imum payment of $4,000. There
will be a daily hospital allowance
of SIG. and a private duty nursing
allowance for in-hospital care of
$40 per eight-hOur shift. for a max
imum of $50 hours. There will also
be 60 days of nursing home care
at SIS per day in lieu of semi-private
hospital days.
The trustees were informed that
enrolment in the Blue Cross-Blue
Shield Plans has suffered in the
past two months because of un-
employment. Blue Cross lost 3,52S
members in January and February.
Membership on March ! was $780,
9S1. There was a similar drop of
$500 members in the Blue Shield
plan, with the new total 270.064.
Membership gain was again recor-
ded for the extended health bene-
fits program which added 1890
members in the two months for a
new high of 13S,476.
Mr.. Maybee warned the board
that increased use of hospital SER
vice by members is a cause for
concern. The length of stay of hos
pital patients has beenscreeping up
as have the number of admissions
per 1000 members. With this i'm
crease comes an increase in the
hospital bills that Blue Cross pays
for its members.

TtU0 DeLmarUa Firms
Merge Their Interests
(continued from page one)


to meet the needs of manufactur-
ing
The Burris plant at Milford is a
new processing unit engineered
for maximum efficiency Having
been closed for the past 60 days
to be painted with a special cor
rosion-resistant product, it will
resume operations on May / as a
division of Willis & Son. IL will
continue under the direct man
agement of John e. Burris and the
present staff of 175 employees will
remain. With this merger, the
Willis firm will employ up to 800
people.
Announcement of the merger
was made jointly today by ]. Nc
Kenny Willis. Jr, of Willis & Son,
and Mr.. Burris of Burris Process
ing.
In making the announcement,
Mr. Willis stressed how pleased
the Willis firm is to gain Mr.. Bur-
ris' ability and years of expert
ence" in processing and manage
ment
Mr.. Willis also said. THE broil-
er business is Delmarva's largest
industry and it has been my
thought for several years that il
must become fully integrated from
the Matching egg to the finished
broiler on the store shelf. The
spread between the cost of produc-
ton in the field and the price the
consumer pays in the store is so
small that every efficiency poss-
ible must be accomplished. Ii is
the opinion of both companies that
many efficiencies will be realized
through this merger"
Mr.. Burris added that the mer-
ger will enable us to produce a
constant supply of more uniform
produce with quality in keeping
with the demands of the modern
housewife. This uniformity and
quality can be achieved by a COM
pany such as ours. completely
integrated operation"
Mr.. Willis has a deep feeling OF
responsibility to the growers
whose farm management controls
the quality and the cost of the
product and feels that when the
potential efficiencies of the merg-
er are realized. that the growers
welfare and security will be great
ly enhanced.

For years homemakers have

see if their findings apply to
longer work periods as well as
to the short periods used in
the tests.
In these studies the women
worked at each job four min

lifting things from kitchen

Getting on and off a kitchen
stool adds to the effort of work
done while sitting.
Women seated used 1870
more energy for dishwashing
than they used when standing
up to do this job.
Are there faults in your
kitchen that you'd like chang
ed? Is there wasted space be-
cause shelves are too far apart?
You can solve this problem by
adding step shelves on legs, by
adding permanent full size OF
half size shelves or by using
other accessories.
Are shelves too high or toe
low? Try TO correct this by
storing items you seldom use
on these high or low shelves.
This will save climbing
stretching and STOPPING. Tc
make things easy to grasp, ado
vertical dividers that are port
able and slanting at top OF
bottom.
If you have wasted space un-
der the sink, look it over fol
the possibility of adding towel
bars. Leave enough room foI
towels to dry.
Add a rack on the cabinet
door for cleaners. Other ways
of making use of the space are
to add waste can or basket,
plastic vegetable bins, t e p
shelves or vertical dividers.
If drawers are cluttered, be-
gin to correct this problem by
throwing away articles you
don't use. Add dividers or cut
lery tray. In deep drawers add
vertical dividers for storing
pans, tins, cooling racks and
flat items.
If you have unused wall
space. add a cabinet. even if
il is only a narrow one.
A peg board has many handy
and decorative uses. You can
make use of cabinets that are
too deep for large containers
and for storing trays.
You might try adding sliding
shelves, swing out shelves on
door or sliding pot hooks. Use
cabinet doors, too. They are
handy for shelves, racks,
hooks, spices, measuring
spoons, cups, or a cookbook
rack.
Your home freezer can be
one of your best friends. 1t
can help you serve your faml-

When you fill your freezer
with a variety of high quail
ty fruits, vegetables, meat and
poultry and some cooked, bak-
ed and partially prepared
foods, it is easy to operate IN
teresting, attractive and nu-
tritious meals.
Sometimes you can take an
entire meal from the freezer.
Just as you plan how you will
use the familY's money TO get
the most for what you spent.
SO must you plan for the use
of the freezer TO get the most
satisfaction from il.
Frozen foods can play pro-
minent roles for you meal by
meal, throughout the day and
between meals, at snack and
refreshment time. The plan
ming of meals around the use
of quick frozen foods begins
with meeting the standards OF
good meal planning. Do you
have a variety of flavor, tex
ture, shape and color? Have
you provided for adequate nu-
triton for every family mem
ber's needs?
