INSURANCE WILL
SAFEGUARD P. T. A.
Providing a monthly salary
check at a time of illness or acci¬
dent, the executive board of the
Pasadena Teachers’ association has
approved the recommendations of
its group protection committee con¬
cerning group health and accident
insurance, and also group medical
service.
The official announcement of the
association said, “The sum you
would receive monthly if ill or hurt
is not as large as your salary
check, but would provide amply for
the necessities of life.”
While no teacher is required to
participate in either of the two
plans, insurance or medical service,
the committee urges contemplation
of the opportunities offered, accord¬
ing to the report. The cost of the
two together is $1.20 per week.
