ONCE UPON A TIME it was considered proper to drink a toast, and then smash the glasses, but over in the British Museum is a hpautiful goblet called "Luck of it seems that once-upon- a-time a butler in the home of a noble English family went out to draw water from St. Cuthbert's Well and surprised a company of fairies dancing on the lawn. (I thought the Irish were the only ones who believed in the wee people 1 They had been drinking at the well and left a cup behind, which the butler seized and refused to give up. whereupon the fairy queen uttered this couplet: "Should this bright cup e'er break or fall, farewell luck of Eden- fall!" Whether you believe this pretty tale or not, the fact remains that the goblet in the British Museum is so designated and is carefully preserved.

Experts on such matters think the glass is of Sara- cenic orgin. for it is richly enam- Blui Cross (Continued From Page 1) The aged will also have vhe op- pprtunity, at this time, to obtain broader Blue Shield Senior Citizen benefits to help pay doctor bills. A new Blue Shield program of extended benefits for Senior Citizens has also recently been approved by the Insurance Commissioner and will be offered in conjunction with these new Blue Cross programs. Enrollment will also be open during this November 12 through November' 30 Campaign in all Blue Cross and Blue Shield group and non-group benefit programs. A departure from previous regulations, which allowed pesons to join the year around, the new regulations provide that enrollment in Blue Crosss and Blue Shield will only be open during this special enrollment campaign.

It is not known when another enrollment campaign will be held. During this campaign, persons under age 65 who are self-employed, retired, unemployed or working for a firm with less than five employees may join under 65 non-group programs. Non-member employees of firms enrolled as Blue Cross and Blue Shie'd groups may enroll during this period. Also, group members who wish to make any changes in their coverage must do so at this time. Commenting on these new regulations, Mr.

Bell states, "We are making this change in enrollment regulations to strengthen our underwriting of both grqup and non- group members. In making this change, we haven't forgotten our obligation to the community. Everyone eligible for membership has the chance to join during this campaign. But they must do so at this time. We do not know when we will be able to offer another enrollment opportunity." Reviewing the new Blue Cross Senior Citizen Programs, Mr.

Bell disclosed that Extended Senior Citizen is the broader benefit program. It provides 70 days of hospital care a year, full coverage of daily charges for regular semi-private hospital accomodations and full coverage of practically all hospital services required during the benefit period. Also included is coverage in qualified nursing homes, visiting nurse care and full coverage of minor surgery and emergency care in a hospital out-patient department. After six months of membership, coverage is extended to all conditions that existed prior to membership. To receive the inpatient hospital benefits, the subscriber pays a cooperative fee of $5 a day for 15 days, to the hospital, for all persons listed on the agreement.

Monthly rates for this program are $9.60 for an individual and $1920 for husband and wife or family. The Regular Senior Citizen Program provides 30 days of hospital care a year, full coverage of daily charges for regular semi-private hospital accomodations and most hospital sevices required during the benefit period. It also includes coverage of visiting nurse service and limited coverage of minor sur- iery and emergency care in a hospital's out-patient department. It does not provide nursing home care. Monthly rates for this program are S535 for the individual and S10 70 for husband and wife or family.

"We have been providing coverage for the aged for the past 17 years," he adds "with this background and knowledge we feel that with these two new programs, we are offering the broadest benefits possible at rates within the budgets of most aged citizens. We realize, that because of fixed income, many will not be able to enroll in the Extended Program. This is why we are offering the Regular Program a lesser benefit program at consideably lower Wellsboro AF Jet Pilot Instructor Is Promoted to Captain Elmendorf AFB, Alaska -Thurston F.

Rosa Hamilton gave a review of "First and Last Love" by Vincent Shean which she called an autobiography of his avocation, Music. Mrs. Hamilton introduced her review with excerpts from articles on leisure and hobbies, showing how important it is at this time, when people in general have more time than ever before for avocations, to choose hobbies that are worth while. Vincent Shean began his interest in music as a child, when attendance at the travelling Chantau- quas introduced him to operas, which were a life long interest, When he attended college in Chicago he became an usher at the Chicago opera, which made him more than ever enthusiastic about opera music. As a writer, Shean traveled all over the world and became familiar with the music of all countries.

He showed how music was linked to world politics and how the hold that Mussolini had on the Italians was strengthened by his keeping the great artists and musicians in the country. Many instances of musicians who left their countries because of dictators and came to the United States were given. These people have made a very worthwhile contribution to music in America.
