V. Watkins, president of the Sharon stake, and chief executive in the movement of Sharon people luring the past seven years to obtain medical care for ill the people of that area. Immediate prospects for such a desirable consum-latio-n of years of study and effort are encouraged by n announcement made Saturday by the Utah Medical Associations medical service bureau. Secretary Wiliam Howard Tibbals, stated tentative plans had been adopted by the Medical Service bureau for socialized and would medicine, without including the politician e presented to interested groups and members of their amities following the first of the year 1939. This announcement follows a recent conference nth the Sharon group, when Mr. Tibbals stated a defin-t- e plan would be announced Dec. 10 by tbe bureau. The mople of Sharon awaited this announcement with keen uterest. While much negotiation and discussion must et follow, states President Watkins, yet the ground rork has been laid, and a fine spirit of cooperation is ieing shown by the doctors. An early meeting is being rranged for detailed analysis and thorough discussion if the proposed plan. IdeaB and objectives held by the Health Insurance Toups as represented by the Sharon Cooperative Health Insurance group, and also the purposes of the ledical Associations service bureau as outlined by Mr. 'ibbals, are here set down side by side, that readers of his paper may compare the two and estimate for them-- , elves how far. apart the two groups are, and what must be made to bring them together.

The farm bureau, the farm aerify administration, and some or units have ngltated for a alth Insurance plan along 'nllar lines, although none of ese have Included such a wide ell-to-- iraie plan ce L$ circle of membership of all classes as proposed by the Sharon Cooperative, The Doctors' Service I'M Mr. Tibbals has given 'to tbe press the following outline of the Medical service bureau plan. In this he has been in collaboration with Dr. A. Cyril Caliister, medical bureau president, and Dr. Ray T. Woolsey, medical economics committee head. Dr. Claude L. Schlelds, president of the state association, was also a visitor here with Mr. Tibbals when the matter was discussed recently. Two plans are specified. One Is a hospitalisation plan, guaranteeing to each individual member of any group of 10 or more persons participating, a maximum of 21 days hospitalisation yearly. The other provides for a percentage of cash reimbursement to members who become 111 from certain diseases, or are Involved In nonindustrial accidents. The latter plan does not Include constant medical treatment, or examination for ordinary diseases or ailments In which hospitalisation is not necessary. Nor is the share of the doctor's bill determined In what Is called catastrophic medical emergencies." Only group purchase of service is allowed, and each group must make unanimous selection of the hospitalization plan alone, or It and the reimbursement plan together. with the latter plan not available alone. a. Fees are set as follows: $21.60 yearly for one person; b. $36 for husband and wife; c. $4S for husband, wife, and dependent members of the family between six months and 19 years. If hospitalisation services only are desired fees would be $10.80, $18. and $24 respectively. Hospitalisation would include benefits of a aemlprivate or ward room, use of operating room, anesthetics, routine laboratory rare and drugs for which the hospital makes no special marges. Contagious diseases or illnesses contracted by the Individual, such as cancer or tuberculosis, would nol come under the plan. Reimbursement, under the other plan, would entitle the member to part payment (not determined yet as to amount or percentage) for one major and one minor Illness or Injury yearly. To be listed In the payment schedule at first will be only ihose conditions In which liability ran be quite determined In advance.

They must work intelligently, must know what they are doing, but there is no substitute for work. Find out all you can about your customer before is very important. Do you visit him. The not oversell him. Get his credit rating. Know what he A salesman is judged largely by his cuscan afford tomers. Better make one sale which 'sticks than two if one of them defaults. Personal habits are important. Cleanliness of and of mind are fundamental for continued sucbody cess. Cleanliness in dress does not mean flashiness, nor a too attractive appearance. Make your customer conscious of your proposition, not of your own dress. Loose living always comes back hometo destroy you. More salesmen end up on the WPA or other forms of relief solely because they failed to keep themselves clean. pre-approa- Dr. P. M. Kelly Will Lead at Forum Dr. P. M.
