FEED THE CHILDREN
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

When the Milford Public Schools
reopen next September, provision
will be made to serve food in every
school building under the best sanl-
tary conditions, and wise manage
ment. 1t will be supervised by prac-
tical and trained dieticians, so that
public health will be protected. A
writer who has Travelled and had ex-
perience of observation recently said
of cafeteria service:
81 think that the cafeteria restau-
rant should rank as one of the great
inventions. The cafeteria plan has
made it possible for thousands of
workers to eat hot lunch every day.
It permits people to eat lightly, and
to eat what they want, instead OF
what some waiter thinks they should
have. 1t has made tipping unneces-
sary. Also, patrons of cafeterias
can see just what they are going to
get. thus it is the ideal way of mer-
chandising cooked food. How much
better it is than ordering from a
menu card in a strange restaurant
where you don't know what you are
going to eat until it is served"

Sussex County Christian
EndeavOr Rally At Oak
Orchard On July 20.

MILTON, July 18-Milton kept up
its winning streak by defeating Lin
coin at Milton on Saturday by the
score of Is to 0. The visitors failed
to get a single hit and but one man
reached first base, and that was on
a pass by Ellis. Ellis started the
game and pitched the game of his
life, not allowing a hit and striking
out six. He was relieved at the end
of the fifth inning to give Belts
much needed wor kout. Belts fan
ned six and not man reached first
base during the four innings he
worked. This was a remarkable
pitching feat by Ellis and Belts and
sustains Milton's claim that they
have the best pitching staff in the
Sussex County League. Milton hit
Moore hard in the first third, fourth
and eighth innings, but failed to
connect consistently in the other
frames.

AND YOUR
MONEY
Protect Your Insurance
(RY John P. Mnllenl

(By John p. Mullen)
Several years ago a large insur-
ance company set out to discover
what the beneficiaries of life insur-
ance policies did with the settlement
they received. The investigation
disclosed the startling fact that with
in seven years after payment had
been made more than 80 per cent of
the benefciaries of policies in that
company had either lost or spent the
entire settlement.
The real tragedy in the picture is
that large percentage of the estate
Investigated had been dissipated in
an effort to increase them through
get-rich-quick methods. That is a
tragedy of everyday repetition. The
security charlatan, the faker and the
dishonest promoter are ever upon
the doorstep of the widow or other
inexperienced beneficiary of a life
insurance policy. The tolls they
take annually emphasize again and
again the necessity of looking beyond
the payment of insurance and MAX
ing provisions for it's effective use.
1t is no longer necessary to sub
ject inexperienced beneficiaries to
the dangers that surround lump-sum
insurance settlements. At the re-
quest of the insured, almost any in
surance settlement may be placed
upon a guaranteed, fixed income
basis. Under this arrangement the
insurance fund, instead of being paid
in a lump sum, will be paid i'll an
nual, quarterly or monthly install
ments and in such amounts as are
prearranged. The fund remaining
with the company draws interest
regularly, thus adding TO the accum-
ulation.
If the fund placed on a fixed in
come basis is large enough to return
a satisfactory income, the insured
may direct that only the interest be
paid, the principal remaining intact
for future beneficiaries. In smaller
estates the insured may provide for
the payment of the interest plus a
certain portion of the principal. AL
most any arrangement permissible
under the law may be made. The
fund is practically an estate held in
trust, and the insurance company
Will Iulull LHe COuJIdCJ " lhS 4OPtSA'
Another method of protecting your
insurance is to arrange, under
written agreement with trust COM
pany, for the payment of the fund to
the trust company to be invested or
distributed as you wish. The income
paid to the beneficiary under this
plan is the yield of the fund invested,
minus a charge for trust service. The
advantage of this plan is that the
trust company may be given power
to change the provisions of the trust
to meet changing conditions or
emergencies. It's advantage is that
a possible loss suffered through the
investment of the insurance fund by
the trust company will fall directly
upon the beneficiary. Under the
guaranteed fixed income plan of the
insurance companies the interest
paid is based upon the income from
al their investments.
