Health insurance benefits by insurance companies totaled $2, 342,437,000 for the first three quarters of 1960, a boost of eight per cent over the $2,168,476,000 paid out in the same period of 1959, said the H31. In all of 1959, a grand total of $5.2 billion in benefits were paid by insurance companies, Blue Cross-Blue Shield, and other heal th care plans. More than $2.8 billion of these benefits came from insurance companies, including $838 million to persons covered toy policies which replace income lost through disability.

Major medical, which provides benefits ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 to help -offset the cost of serious illness, accounted for $309 million in benefits in the first three-quarters of the year. This It's Important To Store Foods Have you made an inventory of the food you canned this sum mer? You may be amazed at the dollars you have saved during the summer months by conserv ing your food. Miss Iola Pritchard, food con servation specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, says that in order for these con served foods to retain maximum keeping qualities, storage ol utmost importance. “Remember to keep your canned foods cool, dry, and dark,” says M&ss Prit chard. Miss Pritchard says extreme heat is bad on canned foods -be cause if some bacteria happens to be in the jars, warmth Will cause them to grow and multiply, thus spoiling the food. Food should not be stored near a stove, furnace, radiators, or pip es. “At the other extreme, jars in untreated places may freeze in cold weather,’’ says Miss Prit chard. “Freezing itself does not cause spoilage in canned foods but the jar may crack or the seal on the jar may 'be broken which will result in spoilage. Jars may be stored in cardboard boxes which serve as a good insulator.” Remem/ber to keep your jars stored in a dry place and out of direct light, since light does ef fect the color of food canned in glass. Now is a good time for all families to check their storage fa cilities.
