INSURANCE
A BLESSING
Studebaker Plan For
Employees Practical
Success

The life insurance protection pro-
vided, without cost to themselves.
for factory employees OF the Stude-
baker corporation. has given prac-
teal instance of its benefit. John
Bon. a Lithuanian. Was the first en-
ploye whose death came under the
provisions Of the general policy
covering the Studebaker workmen.
He was taken Ill with typhoid foyer.
to succuJnb within four days time.
Proof of his death, with the claim.
was forwarded on a Friday to the
Equitable Life Assurance society Of
the United States, which carries the
protection; II being the same day
the funeral was held. On the fol-
lowing Monday a draft for $500
from the insurance company was
paid over TO the widow by a repre-
sentative of the Studebaker Corpor-
alton.
Bon's life was but similar In many
respects to that OF countless others.
He came to America because 1t Of
fered better opportunities than to
be found in the fatherland. He OBJ
tanned employment 1T the Stude-
baker Detroit factories, and was
paid good wages, far above any
possible earnings In the old coun-
try. Apparently, as later develop
ments indicated. Bon failed to fol-
low the habits OF thriftiners he had
probably been taught. and had been
forced by circumstances, heretofore,
to practice. Even with better wages
coming to Bon as his worth as a
workman increased, no growing
bank account remained at death as
a testimonial to his frugality.
The Bon family was found to be
in practically destitute circum-
stances, with no relatives in this
country. A part Of the insurance
money went toward defraying ex-
penses incurred by the last illness
and death Of the family provider.
AS the widow did not understand
the English language, 1t was neces-
sary to use an interpreter for going
through the formalitios Of paying
over the insurance money. But
neither interpreter nor words we're
necessary to indicate the surprise
and gratitude she felt, over this
thoughtfulness on the part OF the
Studebaker corporation. which not
only aims to look after the personal
welfare of its employees during their
life time, but under this protective
arrangement, which Is the first OF
the kind effected by an automobile
manufacturing concern. provides
against possible contingencies OF
The future that may have gone neg
lected by the ones most concerned.
Since the Bon death, three other
claims have been filed for Stude-
baker employees.

Patrolman George Konieczny and
his next door neighDor. William
Witkowsky, OF No. 696 Buchanan
St, are de.ply involved in a dis
pute concerning the ownership Of
an efficient ferret and her live ba-
bics. The dispute over the rabbit
chasers has reached such an acute
stage that the justice courts and
the constables have been called in
to lend n hand.
Constable Leo Romanski, who
once Tepleyined a street car belong
ing to the ID. u. r.. was intrusted
with the task of regaining posses
sion of the ferret mother and her
family, from Witkowshy. He start
cd out Thursday morning, rein
forced by Konieczny, who had OBJ
tanned a writ OF replevin. Togeth-
er, they began an attack upon the
Witkowsky barn. They got in all
right, but sitting upon the box
which held the ferrets they found
Mrs. Witkowsky and neighbor
woman. The pair refused to va
cate.
II finally became necessary for
the officers to use force. Only a
half-hour was required in remov-
ing the women from the box. Ma
Ferret and her thriving family were
tossed into a bag and taken back
TO the officers home.
"It's the law, that's what II is"
observed the belligerent constable.
This copper, he lets a man take
ferret, so he can go hunting rab-
bits. Well, while this guy has the
ferret. five little ferrets are born.
Konieczny asks for his ferret and
the little ferrets and Witkowski
says he can't have them, because
the little ones belong to him. hav-
ing been born In his home, and he
adds that the mother can't be taken
away while the little ones need her
with them--so what a'you gonna

the situation because 1t must be

dangerous to the public.

Daily News put II rather mildly, so
far as the article itself Is concerned
do not like to say these things be-
cause do not like to be misunder-
