This com mittee’s decisions will be reported in the near future. ■ Below is a digest of the present day by-laws; Members are eligible to receive bene fits after having been a member for thirty (30) days. A member’s dependents are eligible to receive benefits at the end of 120 days. Children, step-children and legally adopted children who have not attained the ags of 18 may be registered as de pendents; also children in the above group of physical or mental disability which occurred prior to having attained the age of 18 may be registered. If fath er and/or mother resides with member, and are unable to work and receive full support from member—these may be registered as dependents — provided, however, that member makes request to the Chairman of member’s Relief Com mittee and if ok’d by the Central Com mittee such dependents will be register ed. Should a member (or dependent) re quire hospital service, his family phy sician will issue a certificate or state ment stating that it is necessary for pa tient to enter the hospital. Member will refer the certificate or statement to the Chairman of his Relief Committee for his approval. The fact that physician issues a certificate, and that the Chair man of the Relief Committee OK’s it— does not signify that a particular case is eligible for benefits until it is determ ined that the case comes within the pro visions of the by-laws. If Leaksville Hospital is used, mem bers and their dependents are entitled to complete surgical and hospital service, not to exceed 21 days at $3.00 per day for major operations, and 24 hours for tonsil operations. Cases, in the opinion of the profes sional staff of the Leaksville Hospital, in consultation with family physician, that should be referred to some other^fc hospital, a maximum allowance of $200^^ is made—provided, the family physi cian’s certificate regarding the case shall be approved by an authorized member of the professional staff of the Leaks ville Hospital. Cases preferring to go to out of town hospitals are allowed a maximum of $125 for major operations and or hospitaliza tion, and an allowance of $25 for tonsil operation—provided, they enter hospi tals approved by the American College of Surgeons. If hospital used is not ap proved by the American College of Sur geons the maximum allowance is $100 and $15 respectively. An allowance of $20 is made for ma ternity cases. An allowance of $10 is made to women members whose hus band is not a member of the Association. An allowance of $1 per day is made for tubercular cases confined in a sanator ium. Limit is $175. Expense of services to members and or dependents which can be rendered by a physician in his office is not covered in the by-laws. The principle benefits of the Association are intended to cover surgical operations and hospital expense in connection with such operations; also malignancy in cancerous conditions re quiring X-ray or radium treatment. Last year—1945—surgical and hospitaiP service to members and their dependents amounted to $29,950.25; and lor matern ity and tubercular cases $2,769.52; a total of $32,719.77. Y.M.C.A. Sponsors Easter Program The Y.M.C.A.’s of Leaksville-Spray and Draper sponsored an Easter program which consisted of a movie entitled “The First Easter.” This movie was shown in a number of local schools, churches and Y.M.C.A.’s and there was a large attend ance at each of the showings. The plot of the movie was a reverent and inspiring portrayal of the Easter narratives recorded in the gospels, begin ning with the appeal of the Jews that the tomb be sealed and guarded and in cluding the experiences of the women and desciples at the tomb, in Jerusalem, and on the road to Emmaus. The pres ence of the risen Christ was effectively suggested without showing his face. Another short film showing the Ham ilton Quartet singing world renowned hymns and famous songs, with the words superimposed to permit the audience to join in the singing, concluded the pro gram. ^ The Luncheon Y’s Men’s Club is spon-* soring an Easter Egg Hunt for the chil dren in Draper. Lipstick is something that gives an added flavor to an old pastime.
