(Editor's Note: Blue Cross is
coming to Duplin County, June 1st.
The Duplin General Hospital will
cooperate with The Hospital Care
Association of Durham in the in
tensive county-wide enrollment
campaign. If there is anything you
don't understand about Blue Cross
anything you would like to know
about it, send in your questions to
the Public Relations Department
Hospital Care Association, Durham.
N. C. )
QUESTION: What is the purpose
of Blue Cross?
ANSWER: To protect you and
your family against the shock of
unexpected hospital and surgeons'
bills. By providing an inexpensive
prepayment plan for these costs.
Blue Cross assures you of health
protection, without the accompany
ing big hospital bills that can mean
personal bankruptcy. With The Hos
pital Care Association's Compre
hensive and Standard Certificates,
North Carolinians can have a max
imum Blue Cross protection at a
minimum cost.
QUESTION: What does a Blue
Cross member have to do to get
his bills paid?
ANSWER: A Hospital Care Asso
ciation member has only to present
his Blue Cross identification card
when he is admitted to a Member
Hospital. This is all he has to do.
The hospital notifies the Associ
ation, and we handle all details
and send payments directly to the
hospital and - or physician for their
services. After the subscriber leaves
the hospital, he receives a voucher
showing the benefits paid by the
Association.
QUESTION: Is Blue Cross expen
sive? ANSWER: No, because The Hos
pital Care Association is a non
profit organization, there are no
stockholders. Thus, complete hos
pital, surgical and maternity care
cost only a few cents a day for
the whole family. In the last year
more than 98 of the income re
ceived was returned to subscribers
in the form of hospital claims paid
and necessary adWnistrivx
penses. The remaining 2 went into
a reserve fund to meet possible
future contingencies, as required by

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
By JOHN H. CASEY
IN THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESS
Without its newspapers the small
town American community would
be like a school without a teacher
a church without a pastor. In
the aggregate, the country news
paper determines the outcome of
more elections, exerts a greater in
fluence for constructive community
progress, is read longer by more
members of the family and con
stitutes, with its millions of circu
lation and quadrupled millions of
readers, a better advertising med
ium than any other group of news
papers or periodical publications.
When properly conducted, it cul
tivates so intensively its home
news field that city dailies, farm
journals and general magazines
circulating in the same territory
becomes only secondary influences.
Through service to its community,
the country newspaper will not
merely survive; it will continue to
flourish as the most representative,
most distinctive, most wholesome
type of journalism America has
produced.
Dry Weather Hurts
Calypso Crops .'J
CALYPSO, June 1 Dry wea
ther is affecting the late bean crops
and as a result the movement of
this crop will some be over, it is
the opinion of S. L. Warren produce
man.
An abundance of beans have
been moving to the Mt Olive mar-
ket from this area. These have
brought from $2.74 to $4.75, per
hamper, depending on quality.
The potato crop locally has also
been hurt by the continued dry
weather, Warren said.

At all points cheeked by the ex

The lnitiral survey of the river.
Olive citizens had complained to
then-Governor Kerr Scott about the
large number of fish that were be

department official to the site to
conduct an investigation and the -pickle

The first survey showed thai 80
per cent of the pollution existing '
in the stream was attributable to -pickle
plant wastes with the re
mainder coming from the town.
Since that time, screens have been
placed over the company's disposal
outlets! and company employees
were asked, to cooperate In a cut-
down of waste materials.
No future survey has been plan- -
