If you trusted yourself to skis
this winter, you helped set new
records for the "bed slat" sport.
The number of skiers has dou-
bled over the past five years, now
totaling more than two million.
You helped spend more than $85
million for apparel and equip
ment, and you invested an aver
age of $40 a day at resorts.
Do you wonder if your letters
to model kit manufacturers get
results? They do. Monogram
Models, Inc, received so many
requests for the Hellcat and Cor
sair fighter -bombers they're be-

lection of World War II planes.

the planes flew in the Pacific, the
Hellcat operating from Navy
carriers and the Corsair flying
from Marine land bases. Both
are in the quarter-inch scale of
their seven predecessors in the
historic line.
Boating weather is just over
the horizon. While refurbishing
your craft for the summer, don't
forget to check it's safety equip
ment, especially the fire extin-
guisher. An easy way to learn
whether it's filled up to standard
is to weigh it. The label on the
container will tell you what it
should weigh.
One of Americas classic cars
was the Duesenberg, which
helped Hollywood stars of the
1930's maintain their regulations
for glamour. The cars chassis
cost $11, 900, and custom body
work by famous coach makers
brought the total to $16-20,O00.

most famous of all-the 1884 81

not to say yes, nam and no,
sir to older people, people in

This wisdom has been made

possession, and it must be
guarded vigilantly.
The record of the Mississippi
Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plan Of
health care has come to my at
tention. It is dramatic story
deserving our careful considera-
ton. 1t is told below.
In the fall of 1947 Mississippi
Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plan was
organized by a group of public
spirited citizens -. citizens
who realized that this solution
was necessary if our State was
to meet it's growing health care
needs.
Solvency and independence
marked the operation Of Missis-
sippi Hospital and Medical Ser
vice from it's early days. It's
financial structure an open
book to the public - followed
the pattern of Blue Cross-Blue
Shield Plans everywhere. AL
though local in nature Blue
Cross-Blue Shield is national in
scope. This is to say that Mis-
sissippi Blue Cross-Blue Shield
members can receive care in any
of the thousands Of participant
ing hospitals throughout the
nation and even in foreign coun-
tries.
The growth of Blue Cross
Blue Shield in Mississippi re-
suits from one simple fact -
It provides a service people
desperately need and it does it
at the lowest possible cost to
the individual.
Today as Mississippi Hospital
and Medical Service begins its
sixteenth year, more than 4O0,-
900 Mississippians enjoy the
priceless health care protection
of Blue Cross-Blue Shield - a
figure which includes over 40,-
900 of our States Senior Citi-
Zens.
During the past fifteen years
Mississippi Blue Cross-Blue
Shield has processed and paid
more than IA million hospital
and doctor claims. 1t has provid-
ed more than 3.8 million hospi-
tai days of care for the people
of Mississippi and has paid $50
million for members care.
In 1862 alone, more than SIS
million was paid to hospitals
and doctors for the health care
of Mississippi Blue Cross-Blue
Shield members. This figure re-
presents more than 1870 of the
total 1862 income. Last year
199,550 claims were processed,
an average of 780 each work
ing day. Last year alone, 489,-
079 days of hospital care were
paid for Mississippi Blue Cross
Blue Shield members and over
$275,0OO was paid for Missis-
sippi taxes.
Mississippi Blue Cross-Blue
Shield is constantly keeping
pace with modern health care
demands by offering more
benefits and services to it's
members. Through the flexible
service benefits of Blu Cross,
Mississippi members receive
the advantages of new techni-
ques, new machines and new dis
coveries.
Processing and flexibility
with broader and better Blue
Cross-Blue Shield programs in
clude. Hospital benefits =
new selections Of hospital room
allowances up to 500 per day;
Surgical benefits a new
choice Of surgical fees up to
$500; Medical benefits
new series of medical fees;
Major Medical benefits up
to $4,000; Master Health En-
dorsement :. including x-ray
and laboratory examinations in
the doctors office or hospital,
special payments for accidental
injuries, and up to $4,000 for
major medical care; Cancer pro-
lection up to $4,000 (up !
to $4,000 for Senior Citizens).
These valuable Blue Cross-Blue |
Shield programs are available to
groups, individuals, and fami-
lies.

Robert Olson, state president Of

committee.
Carmichael, executive director

lives with his family at PIT Upton
Av. s., has served as secretary of
the committee since 1866.
He formerly was chairman of
the Minneapolis NAACP legal re-
dress committee and is presently

fighter.

and he knows the ms and outs Of
Washington's behind-the scenes
politicking.
When the Senate voted to table
a motion on whether or not it
could change its own rules at the
beginning Of Congress, Mitchell
said that vote will make 1t I'M
necessarily difficult to pass any
civil rights legislation.
The reason: If the Senate can't
change its rules, then it can't limit
debates-or filibusters. If 1t can't
limit fiibusters, it can't stop
southern Senators from talking
to death" any civil rights legisla-
ton proposed by the President or
members of Congress.
Following are the names of Sem
ators who Mitchell said had COM
mitted themselves to vote favor
ably on the Anderson "Consdtu-
tionar' rules change which was
killed in the Senate by a vote of
SO to AZ, Jan. 81.

Kansas; Peter H. Dominick (R-
Colo.); Clarence Pell (D-Rhode

governor and (D-Alaska); Daniel
K. Inouye (D-Hawaii); Howard j.
Edmondson (D-Okla); Milward L..
Simpson (R-Wyo.), and Thruston
B. Morton (R-Ky.).
But the man whom Mitchell and
members of a civil rights delega-
ton comprising representatives of
the, Leadership Conference on Civil
Rights, chaired by Roy Wilkins,
executive director Of the NAACP,
blame most for the total defeat
is Vice President Lyndon Baines
johnson.
Mitchell said the delegation Wis
tied johnson and told him that If
he submitted the question to the
floor of the Senate, instead Of rul-
ing on the legality of the Con
stitutionar' issue as was his prer-
ogative to do as President Of the
Senate, he would dash any hopes
for passage Of civil rights legisl-a
ton.
Johnson subitted the question to
the Senate, claiming he did not
have the authority to rule on the
issue.
The southerners filibustered the
question until Sen. Mike Mans
field, Democratic majority leader
from Montana and Republican
minority leader Everett Dirlxsen
agreed to allow the Senate to vote
on tabling the motion.
Mitchell implied that at this
point, the Southerners had it ''in
