PAGE TWO LAB NEWS SEPT~BER 2, 1960 Editorial Let's Use, Not Abuse Health Insurance (First of a Series) Your family car is an investment. Naturally you want to protect any investment you make. So, you play it smart. You don't burn up the motor, hot-redding it around town. You take good care of that car. You know that if you do push the engine beyond its limits, you' ll soon end up with a worn out vehicle you can't drive or sell. Your health insurance is an "investment," too. Yet a lot of folks don't think of it in that way. Forgetting the real purpose of health insurance, they put it to uses for which it was not • intended. Like the family car driven too hard and too fast, the maintenance costs on insurance the.n climb and the over-all value of coverage diminishes. The secret of getting the most value for each health in surance dollar you invest calls for using not abusing your policy. To do this you need to know what insurance is, what it can and cannot do, and how to use it properly. Weddings and LIGHT MOMENT shown above occurred during the Coronado Club.
