Sign That Insurance
Card By March 25th!
Employees are urged to sign ac
ceptance cards immediately for the
revised group insurance plan
which is to become effective
March 25. The foremen have been
supplied with the cards and every
employee will be contacted and
given an opportunity to sign up.
Those who fail to sign h7 March
25 will be without group insurance
since the old insurance plan will
terminate on that date.
The group insurance program is
being revised to bring it up-to-date
in line with increased wages and
general economic .conditions. The
proportionate cost to the employee
is being reduced somewhat due to
the Company’s paying a larger
share of the cost.
Booklets like the one renroduced
at right have been distributed to
all employees explaining in detail
the revised plan. A letter from H.
W. W'hitcomb, divisional vice-pres
ident and assistant general mana
ger, appearing in the front of the
booklet describes the operation of
the group insurance plan during
the past 14 years and points out
that the benefits received by em
ployees during that period prove
the worth of the insurance.
