GOVERNMENT'S SCHEME FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ANXIOUS [BY TKLEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] CAMBRIDGE. Wednesday Tho anxiety caused to friendly societies throughout the country by the Government's proposed national health insurance and superannuation schemes was mentioned by Mr. T. M. Hetet, District Grand Muster of the Manchester Unity Oddfellows, when speaking at Cambridge. Mr. Hetet said lie had heard that tho question was fully considered at tho recent caucus of Government members. Ministers had stated there that the Government had no intentions of interfering in any way with the work of friendly societies, but that the societies would be co-opted in the administration of health insurance. He felt that the huge membership of friendly societies in the country could insist on fair treatment. "I understand that the scheme will be worked on similar lines to tlic scheme that has been in operation in Great Britain, with probably certain improvements." added Mr. Hetet.
