School Announces
Accident Insurance
Plan for Students
4 The school has announced there
is still time to enroll school chil
dren under the school accident in
surance plan. Late enrollments
are being accepted for the next
week or so to enable all pupils
to obtain the benefits of the pro
tection.
An example of the savings af
forded to the parent is: The
premium for 24-hour coverage
for a child is $10 for one cal
endar year. The first doctor’s of
fice call for sickness or injury
would cost just half of the prem
ium rate. Additional calls would
more than make up the balance of
the premium. Quite a saving, when
you look at it that way!
The alternate insurance plan
covers the pupil during school
hours, and only during the school
year. If a pupil gets injured on
the school grounds at recess, or
should have an accident while in
the building, or even going to
and from school, he would get the
same benefits for a premium of
$1.75 for elementary and $2.00
for secondary students. The cost
of the first office call would be
double the cost of the premium!
The school urges all parents
seeding insurance coverage for
their children to give serious con
sideration to the school insur
ance plan.

Twenty-eight people of Nome
met at the multi-purpose room
of the school Wednesday night to
discuss the organization of a
Civil Defense program for the
town.
The meeting was called by

Nome, and now Anderson is the
deputy director.
Ken Hudgins of the Weather
Bureau described the work that
the Nome station is doing in re
cording and reporting radiation.
The instrument in use at pre
sent is a low-level recorder and
is calibrated in roentgens, unlike
the micro-microcuries reported by
other recording stations in the
news since the Russians resumed,
testing atomic devices in the at
mosphere.
After considerable discussion
the director appointed two of
those present to work with him
self and the deputy director to
formulate a plan of civil defense.
Named were J. R. Hart, FAA
•station manager, and Jim O’Sulli- I
van, Alaska Steam agent.
Another meeting is called for
next Wednesday at 8 pm. in
the multi-purpose room, when
the planners will present their
plan of action.
