Whole Town Is Insured i * Big Concerns in Tennessee Municipality Join and Take Out Policy Coming All Their Employees. I in, I II till II I I * - All the workers employed "by the various industries located at Kingsport, Tenn., have been insured against death, sickness and accident under a single group policy issued by one of the big life insurance companies. In all about 2,000 persons employed by ten large concerns are thus protected, and as the population of the town of Kingsport is estimated at about 10,000, almost every family in the community will receive a financial benefit in case of accident, sickness or death overtaking one of its breadwinning members. The policy has been in effect since early in July. According to officials of the insurance company this is the first instance known where a Whole community has adopted a standardized plan of insurance. The experiment is attracting the attention of many other municipalities, especially public officials who are interested in community service, and also x insurance men. The prospective financial benefit to be derived by individuals under the policy is held of far less importance than the general good which has . resulted from the quickening of the conscience of the whole Kingsport community. A health center, to which every resident of the city has access, as well as the employees of the particular industries covered by the group policy, has been established. A nurse - furnished by the insurance company is in charge. Meantime the officials of Kingsport have selected a public health official, drawing salary from the municipality, to look after the sanitary conditions of the communitv. Among other things, an attractive housing plan has been adopted and will he carried out as expeditiously as building conditions will permit. After making a careful survey the nurse in charge of the health center found a large number of houses in the town that she regarded as insani'taiy and unfit to live in. At the suggestion of the insurance company these houses were doomed to be burned, and all of Kingsport, as well as a* large delegation of "movie" picture men, were invited to watch the bonfire. The insurance company has become a sort of "big brother" to the town of Kingsport, and its suggestions as to improvements necessary to preserve the health of the community are adopted with a spirit of hearty co-operation by the leading business men and city officials.
