Moore, of Springfield, as coordinator of defense training and education in the public schools of Illinois has been announced by state Civil Defense Director Lenox R. Lohr. FOUNDATION CONDUCTS RESEARCH ON FOUR STUDIES KVI A $275,000 research program consisting of four major studies to evaluate the nation's voluntary health insurance plena, and to find the methods and means of extending them to provide adequate health protection to all segments of the ,j>opulation has been inititated by Health Information Foundation (HIF). This was announced by Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, USN (Ret.), HIF president, who stated that following more than two years of preliminary study and consultation with representatives of non-profit and commercial health insurance organizations, the Foundation has inaugurated the research "to determine the coverage and effectiveness of voluntary health insurance plans and indicate areas where extent sion of coverage and benefit provisions are required." "Some work has been done in this fieM," he saiid, "but it has been limited in scope. The Foundation's studies, therefore, become of great significance in providing comprehensive, systematic, nation-wide facts necessary to meet the health needs of the American people." Three of the studies will be completed within the next year, and one, the most extensive, will require more time to accomplish. "Hie first study is a national sampling of American households to discover the relationship between family costs of medical care and health status, the bearing which prepaid health insurance plans have on this relationship, and attitudes toward health needs and .insurance. < The second phase will seek similiar information, but more extensively and intensively within specific communities. Such information will include data on the economic impact upon the family of illness not covered, effect of insurance plans on the use of health services and facilities and desire for additional coverage. The Foundation has commissioned the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago, under the direction of Clyde W. Hart, to conduct these two studies of the research program. A third study will deal with present types of plans in selected communities to determine how they may be extended to in elude certain people not now covered--such as farmers and other self-employed people, retired persons, the indigent and low income families. 1 ** The first steps will be to document what is already beijjgidone to meet the health needs of these people .and to evaluate the results. The communities selected will be those in which health and welfare agencies, the medical profession, hospitals and various other interested organizations-- together with the commercial and non-profit health insurance plans in the communities, and the local government--are willing to combine forces in experimental programs. The programs will be aimed at determining the best method of providing for the health needs of all groups in each community. They will undertake to provide adequate hospital and medical care particularly to the low income and indigent groups, utilizing existing agencies and the medium of voluntary health insurance. It is believed that the resulting facts and experiences can lead to the development of similar programs by individual communities throughout the natiorv Individuals of national prominence and experience will advise in the development stages and will be consulted throughout the project. The Foundation believes that the timetable for this project will be the first six months of 1953 spent in exploration and development and the second six months in selecting the communities and getting the projects underway. The projects will continue through 1954 and may organizations, even require some time in 1955 before all results can be evaluated. their relationship Co illriesses land medical costs. The exploration and -development of -4h--e last two studies are being undertaken by HIF's own research staff, headed »,by Dr. Odin W. Anderson, and in consultation with Clyde W. Hart. The entire program Will keep in close touch with other stucjies now" going on, such as the sti^dy of financing of hospital care, which is being supported by H.I.- F. and five other national organizations ; the study, on methods of payment of medical care < in the United States, now being conducted by Columbia' University under an H.I.F. grant; the studies being made by the Commission on Chronic Illness, and others. r The Foundation will fully . Utilize information, acquired -by other organizations in the field and make every effort to avoid duplication. Health Information Foundation is a .non-profit, non-political organization supported by the drug, pharmaceutical, chemical and allied industries. Founded in 1950, it collects and distributed factual . information on health care, progress and services, in jthe United states. • • Admiral Blandy pointed $mt that H.I.F.'s new studies are the latest in a group of fourteen research projects on health services and facilities which the Foundation has undertaken with its own research staff or initiated through grants of funds to colleges, universities and other Continuation of this ^project, Admiral Blandy said, will require substantial financing beyond the amount to which the Foundation has now committed itself for the coming year.' The fourth study will seek ina^. portant data on family debts and Another method ' Here's another method for removing coffee stains which may also have cream and sugar mixed with the coffee. Sponge with cool water, let dry, then sponge with cleaning fluid or powder. Old coffee atalng may be difficult to remove, so it's smart to get at them tight away.

Jerry Sherratt, of Pox kiver Grove, recently returned from Korea, dropped ill to the McHenry county chapter of the American Red Cross at Woodstock last week and made % radio recording for broadcast on the Harvard hour, with Miss Esther Blodgett. , It was Jerry Sherratt, wtao in April, rturned to the States on rotation from Korea, appeared personally before groups in theatres and clubs to "spark" the need of blood as he knew it on the battlefields of > Korea. Jerry's plea for the actual need of blood and plasma quickened the response of donors. Jerry, now returned to civilian life, is thinking of the servicemen in Korea facing the cold, the ice and snow as he knew them in his two Christmases across. He was questioned as to the activities of the Red Cross that he saw over there in his time of service and the response was ready and quick with praise of the coffee and doughnuts at the quonset huts, served by the American Red Cross wherever the trains stopped; of the* fine clutaf maintained in Seoul and across Japan; of the fact that paper was always on hand, stamped with the American Red Cross, and furnished by the funds , givon . by the people back home. When asked how paper was gotten to the front lines, Jerry explained that when supplies were sent from in back of the lines, the Red Cross always sent paper and that very many times it was distributed by the American Red Cross field directors. Although never needing Red Cross help himself, Jerry was loud. in his praise of what he knows goes on. Miss Blodgett, in interviewing Jerry, uncovered the fact he was extremely interested in sports, boxing in particular, and at this time it was learned that when, footballs, basketballs or other sporting equipment is needed, they are furnished- in Korea by the American Red CUPSS. He commented, on the Christmas packages which are received and so very much appreciated, particularly . mentioning one he received last year waves. from the American Legion, .and again stressing the importance, as do all , returning servicemen, of the value of letters fron home. Jerry, a high school graduate, is interested in becoming associated with work in journalism^ aiticularly in sports division o^p c radio broadcasting.
