MANY RETURNED MEN
DECIDE TO RETAIN
WARTIME INSURANCE

Scores Of returned men in Grand
Forks county feel that they cannot
afford to continue their government
insurance, so they come to the Red
Cross Home Service Office to talk the
matter over with the secretary, ]. 8.
Wineman.
After it has been pointed out to
them that it will only be necessary to
save s1.0O each week to enable them
to carry $500 or $4,000 worth of pro-
lection. and that if a man does not
save an amour like this from his
weekly earnings. it is probeble that
somebody will have to take care of
him when he gets old, they decide to
save $500 each week and double the
amount of the protection suggested.

George Robbins, acting city attor-
ney, today received a letter from !ne
commissioner of insurance stating
that the Instructions for insuring the
Gl.er plant had been issued through
an. overnight" and that the order for
tho policy would be cancelled.
Its a good thing the order has
been cancelled but that kind of an
oversight seems apt to be rather ex-
U~ansiye for the tax payers was the
al opinion Of city officials TINS
afternoon when they learned that the
filter plant had been stricken from
the list Of buildings to be Insured.
What Next?
In the meantime however the city
administration is still wondering what
is going 20 happen when the insurance
policies now being carried on otner
public buildings of the city expire
which will be at various lines during
the next twelve months.
Not being blessed with the gift of
prophecy the city Dads freely admit
they have no idea how much they
may be saddled with along the line of
insurance policies. nor what the prem
ium rates will be. but judsins by
Mr.. Olsness' recent Oversight in at
