''Most of you folks have heard and read
about the new Federal-State Government
Medical Aid bill for the aged that was re.
Gently passed But, you ought to know that
just the fact you are 65 or over does not
make you presently eligible to receive
government aid. This Federal bill is intended
to provide government help to needy senior
citizens who will be unable to meet the cost
of their own medical care in the future.
Fright now, many of you senior citizens
are UNPROTECTED because you do not
have health insurance of any kind or may
never become eligible for government aid.
That is why this opportunity offered by
Continental is so vitality important to every
man and woman in this age group.

hundreds of thousands of policyholders have
this much needed protection. Over l3 million
dollars have been paid out in benefits.
65.PLUs has proven to be the finest, most
economical plan of its kind to help pay bills
for ordinary medical expenses and short.term
hospital stays.
5,OOO-RESERVE is for the big bills
Following the 65-PLUs Plan, Continental
created the 5OO0.REsERvE Plan to meet the
desperate need for protection against the
REALLY BIG hospital bills and LONG hos
pital stays. Hospital stays that last for
months and bills that run up to thousands
of dollars are becoming more and more
common. 5000.REsERvE is the answer.
This plan was called 5O0O- RESERVE because
it is almost the same as setting aside cash

Both 65-PLUS and

'As 65.PLUs or 5OOO-REsERvE policy
holder, you never need fear that your policy
will be cancelled, or that your benefits or
premium will be changed because of the

Continental CANNOT make any changes in
the policies, or cancel any, unless it does so
to ALLpolicyholders in your state. Of course,
you have the right to cancel your policy at
any time.

"To make such plan possible at low cost,

are more equal than others" "
The response was overwhelm-
ing-literally hundreds Of let

thank all who cited George
Orwell's Animal Farm" as the
source.
Among the more unusual re-
plies was this one from the
director of prisoner education

Opening lead: Heart queen.
West opened the queen of
hearts, and South won at once
with the ace. perhaps he
should have refused the first
trick, but this wasn't a griev-
outs error) South next led a
low diamond to fineSse dunn
my'S jack, and East automati-
cally threw a half-brick.
That is, East automatically
dropped the 10 Of diamonds
on dummy's jack. The idea
was to persuade declarer that
East had started with the
singleton 10 or the doubleton
1919 Of diamonds.
The plot worked, as well it
might. South got to his hand
with a club to lead the queen
of diamonds through West. He
hoped to capture the king and
the nine on the same trick, but
all he got was the king.
Quickly Defeated
Soth switched to spades, but
he was quickly defeated. West
took the ace Of spades and led
the 10 Of hearts. East won
with the king Of hearts, cashed
the nine of diamonds and re-
turned a heart for West to run
the rest of the suit. The de-
Tenders took five hearts, one.
spade. and one diamond, de-
feating the contract.
Now go back to the first
round of diamonds. If East is
a good child. he drops the three
of diamonds on dummy's jack.
This gives South no chance to
go wrong; his only play for the
entire diamond suit is to cash
the ace of diamonds in the hope
of dropping the doubleton
king. This play works, and
South takes the first eight
tricks without breathing hard.

Merit Plan
For County

A complete merit system and
coordinated hiring policies
among governmental depart
mentS have been recommended
to the Prince Georges County
Commissioners.
In addition, competitive ex-
aminations should cover more
county positions, according to
a five-month report just COM
pleted by the Prince Georges
League of Women Voters.
A county spokesman today
sadi personnel policies are un-
der study and the thinking of
officials is not too far afield
from that of the league.
Merit System Begun
The leagues study included
no blanket criticism of hiring
policies and noted that the
county has the beginnings of
a merit system. This includes
examinations for most posi-
tionS, fixed pay scale and job
classification.
No evidence was found to
back up charges of widespread
patronage hiring, according to
Mrs. Walter Kravitz, chairman
OF the leagues local govern
ment committee.
There is not a large turn
over of county employees and
those ye talked to seemed hap
py with their work" she added.
Mrs. Kravitz said the league
feels co-ordinated policies
should exist among such de-
partments as the County's ad-
ministrative force, 900 en-
ployeS; school board, nearly
5000 workers; and Prince
Georges General Hospital
about $50 employees.
Proposals Are Listed
The report asks for:
Gradual improvements of the
county's present elementary
civil service system" until it
becomes a full fledged merit
system.
Utilization of professional
planning such as offered by the
State Employment Commission.
Establishment of a board or
commission to coordinate hir-
ing policies.
| Adoption of new fringe bene-
fits such as health insurance
and credit.
Written personnel rules in

HAMMOND, Ind, Dec. 1
(AP).-Two top officials Of a
Whiting GndJ savings bank

of embezzling more than ST.
million in deposits.
Allan Gillies, FBI special
agent in Indianapolis, said
Joseph j. Chilla. jr., SO, and his
brother, Benedict A., As. both Of
Hammond, had kept a secret
ledger at least since 1899.
Mr.. Gillies said the ledger
involved about one-Seventh Of
the total deposits in the Liberty
Savings & Loan Association in
nearby Whiting, representing a
potential loss of more than 81
million to the association.
Joseph Chilla has been board
chairman and loan officer of
the association, and his brother
has been secretary-treasurer.
Mr.. Gillies said the operation
was discovered in a routine
audit.
He said the brothers appar-
emily singled out depositors
likely to leave their accounts
undisturbed for a long time.
Mr.. Gillies said hundreds Of
such depositors were repre-
sented on the secret ledger,
with the deposits not included
in the associations periodic re-
ports. He said any Withdrawals
from secret ledger accounts ap-
parently were handled with
money out of the brothers
pockets.
The depoSitors will suffer no
loss since the accounts are in
