Hd|fe Doctots Adopt Lo^rCMt
'iwfurity man For Farm Fam*
imi, :
The medical doctors of Hoke coun
ty, and a number ■ of tho^ of ad
joining counties''^have established,
through toe cooperation of the local
biWich of the Farm Security Admin
istration ^a low-cost family medical
aid idani which is available to toe 300
borrowers from toe farm aid office.
The plan was put into operation in
January, according to Dr. R. L. Miur-
ray, and is 'similar to that plan how
ll^4tt operation in a number of other
'^sections \toere toe FSA operates. It
is a' joint insurance plan, it was toC'^
plained, to assure toe medical nii^
of some payment of medical fees hito,
to secure Tow-cost, physician’s'htr
tendance over a period of one y^ir-
At toe end of toe year toe fmhti|f
may continue or not.
The plan costs toe participant oh
toe basis of the number in toe family:
$5 per year for toe: husband, $5 for
the wife, and'$2 for each child, with a
maximum payment of $20 per year
per family. The fimds are then de-
' posited with the trustee, Carl FreC-
man, Town Clerk, and each month
the doctors render their bills for fees
to the trustee. The fund is prorated,
one-twelfth for each month, and' then
toe bills are paid according to amount
of funds available for that nrnnto.
At toe end of the year, if there is a
balance to the^tiindi any unp^ I^Us
of toe dbctoto are paid, prorata,'as
far as toe balance will go. Any bal
ance \mpaid are canceled. The trus
tee receives 3. per. cent for adminir
strattN costs.; If is'.estimated that;
the^^Cian Will receive frc»n 60'
to IWjper cent of amount of bills un
der plan.
thirty families of toe county
hav^vtaken advmtoge of 'this plan
durhig toe first month of Operation,
and^Wceording tp J. F.. Jones, .man-

ticlj^t reeves medical aid tmdwr
to&jdan tmtil his entito yearly-fee
Ti.asjKsh paid to toe trustee.
The great advantage to toe bor
rower-clients of toe FSA is that they
can know that medical fees fd^ a
year cannot cost them over $20 for
their mitire family. The particular
advantage to toe doctors is that, in
many cases they Would receive little
or no money f|f many visits and per
haps have to wait months for pay
ment even in part for toeir services.
This assures them of some pasrment
regularly each month.
The borrowmti can call in toe phy
sician of toeir own choice, whether
the physician lives to Hoke county,
or not, provided he has consented
to participate in toe plan.

J. F. Jones, manager of toe local of-
na^r
flee of the Farm~«curity Admini
stration, was toe speaker, for toe
meeting of Kiwanis kst Thursday,
lyfr. Jones told of the principal potojs
whilii feature the' operation of toe
administration.
He stated that toe facility was cre
ated to help needy farmers to be
come self-supporting, and pointed out
that since it was formed to 1935 more
than 1,000,000 families had been help
ed through toe admtoistratirai.,
Other parti({ular outstanding ser
vices randered by the administration
had been aid in emergency relief to
disaster-stricken farm comnutoities/
■Whdre drouth, floods, hurrijcdiies toid
other emergencies had damaged farms
aiid crops to such an extent that
limited surhs were, necessary to re
habilitate the farms.
The FSA also makes ' loans for
community service, he stated, incases
where farm groups cooperate for toe
purchase of equipmenti pure-bred
breeding stock, tractors,, etc., which
a single farmer could not afford. Med
ical aid loans are made under certain
conditions, and in many areas, as re
cently in Hoke county, the FSA .spon^'
sors a group healto. program and a
medical assistance plan whereby a
set annual fee is paid for physician’s
attendance.
Under the FSA, stated Mr. Jones, a
limited number of loans arb made
each year to tenant fiumers which
enable that tenant to purchase a
farm, repair toe buildings, and stock
and equip it for profitable operation.
Other tenants are aided to securing
leases of farm properties to an ef
fort to elimtoate ceititipi qontotiQns..
of toe tenets and sharevoppers aq^
4n; protecting top soil and improving
property.
'The FSA also operates some 140
homestead projects which provide
homes, farms and other advantages,
depending upon the needs of toe par
ticular community where toe project
is operated, for as little as $1,000 per
unit. Migrant farm workers are also
aided under toe FSA and camps have
been constructed to toe principal
^qktog.areas to care for.the seasonal
infl^ of this type of farm labor
.When toe harvesting season is at its
heigth. * •
