Retired Morton
Workers Given
Hospital Plan
Morton Salt Co. announced this
week that the Trustees of the
Mark Morton Foundation have a-
greed to use their funds to pay
benefits to retired employees who
are confined to a hospital to the
same degree as benefits which are
paid to, active employees under the
company’s group insurance pro-
gram.
Under the company's present
'group hospital, surgical and medi-
cal expense insurance program, it
is not permissible to continue these
benefits to retired employees.
According to local plant manag-
er G. R. Pyle, the matter had be$n
of great concern not dnty'tb iV-
tired employees but also to man-
agement. •
Pyle added that Morton - Salt
Co. is pleased to announce the
program which is to be on 'experi-
mental basis limited to the 1963,
out that it is hoped that the coat
will not be prohibitive and that
the program can be extended for
an indefinite period. * ,
