Insurance Committee Reports

The committee created by the last session of the
legislature to investigate all Mississippi insurance ex-
cept fraternal and life has made a recommendation of
five to ten per cent cuts in fire insurance as ordered
by the state insurance commission.
This is welcome news to Mississippi business men
and owners of property that must be insured. we
have known for some time that this states insurance
rate was out of line with the rates obtained by other
states. It is good that we have received a reduction
slight as it may be.
An interesting comment was made by the COM
mittee which reported that the automobile casualty
insurance rate was higher in Mississippi than elsewhere.
It called attention to 1.-The well known fact that jurors
have been liberal and lenient with plaintiffs where in
surance companies were involved largely accounts for
the high rates"
We are all familiar with this type Of juror. His
of money. let EN- pay. And pay they usually do.
to the limit.
We recall an instance in which the writer was
involved. Driving at about thirty miles per hour in
a downpour Of rain on slippery pavement we sideswiped
the rear Of an old model, open Ford, which suddenly
stalled in front of us.
Taking the driver of the stalled car with us up
town, the insurance adjustor was already on the scene
of the accident before we returned. He had already
heard how we were driving along at least sixty or sew
enty miles an hour when the accident occurred. The
speed was cut down to Is or 80 miles per hour by the
driver of the hit car in his account of the accident to
the insurance representative. He just happened to
be honest.
1t is dishonest and unfair to press false claims on
insurance companies the same as it is dishonest to cheat
and steal. We all know that of course. But we
believe that some people must not care else there would
not be so many damage suits in our courts today, in
stigated by damage suit lawyers, perhaps.
We could use less of them.

/ Demonstration Clubs Hold
Picnic At State Park

The annual Home Demonstration
Club Picnic had the largest atten-
dance it has ever had this year.. 15C
home demonstration club members
and visitors spent the day at Holmes
County Park Thursday, August 4.
Eleven communities were represent
ed, Acona, Brozville. Coxburg, Du-
rant, Elliott He'll, Ebenezer, Lexing-
ton, Pickens, Richland, and Thorn
ton.
! At 1850 the group was called to
order and group singing led by M.
Roscoe johnson and Mrs. Jimmie
Baughm of Emory Club. Ilene Hol
der gave a very interesting report OF
her trip to National Club Camp in
Washington. She told of the trip
to Washington and the points of in
terest visited on the way. While
in Washington, according to Ilene's
report, the All club delegates were
entertained with interesting tours OF
the city and programs in camp. An
-louncements were made about the
| otoeC dAA CAAlADllS dllO lnC part VIC
expect to take in these exhibits.
Lunch was spread on the long Ia
bles from large baskets brought by
the club members. The Holmes
county home demonstration club
members certainly know how to fix
a picnic lunch.
In the afternoon the buildings in
the park were left open for insp-.-
ton. Part of the group enjoyed a
a swim in the lake while others made
tours of the grounds and buildings,
and visited with friends from diff
ferent parts of the county.
Everyone had a good time and
asked for the picnic to be repeated
next year. Mrs. j. r. Brown of
Durant suggested that mex year each
club member wear a card showing
the name of her club and her own
name so that everyone could know
the other club better.

~Hollywood's Monopoly

If the governments antitrust suit against the big
film companies of Hollywood wins out it may be possible
that local theatres and their managers will show better
picture in the future than they have in the past.
AS almost everyone knows the theatre manager
can't pick all the pictures he'd like to show. Instead
he has to take a whole block of pictures to get the
best ones. Perhaps there would be twenty pictures
in the group. Of this number five would probably
be super gigantic, five would be fair, five $3.50 or so
and so, and the other five lousy.
The poor theatre manager has no choice. He has
to take them all to get a few good ones.
Now the government has decided that this practice
of Hollywood is something akin to monopolistic and is
going to see what can be done about it. The same
thing was tried ten years ago, however, by the Federal
Trade Commission who ruled block-booking was mo-

Government In Medicine

There seems to be brewing a movement to have
the Federal Government enter the medical field. A
statement a few days ago out OF Washington stated tnat
$50 million dollars were needed and would be proposed
for government aid to the sick people unable to secure
a doctor.
1t is easy to visualize, says the Neshoba Democrat,
at Philadelphia, a future ahead of us in which we VIII
have medicinal dispensaries, just as we have govern
ment-owned liquor stores. A man with a prescrlpton
will carry it down to a government owned store to be
filled.
Or a man with a stomach ache may go to the gov
ernment-owned hospital where doctors and internes are
gathered from the four corners OF the country 10 uls-
pense services at government expense
In other words, says the Democrat, "the day may
come when the u. S. government Will not only De Uncle
Sam to us, but Papa and Mama as we'll"
OF course the whole thing seems far-fetched and
few of us can see the Federal government encroaching
seems to be q part of our American life. He stands
like q shield to guard and protect the health and we'll
being of ourselves and our families. We don't want
to see the Federal government run him out OF business.
For years and years the Democrats remind US,
the government has supplied printed, stamped envel-
opes to the public, thus encroaching upon the printing
industry to the tune of millions of dollars each year.
And for years and years, many firms have pur-
chased these envelopes.
The government is gradually entering more and
more lines of endeavor.
If the time ever comes when Uncle Sam perches on
your doorstep with a tax-free business that may wreck
your own, you'll know how the printing industry has
felt for so many years. and Uncle Sam won't be
such a welcome guest, either.

SomueI insults Death

Samuel insult, one time head of a A million dollar
corporation, died of an heart attack in a Paris subway
the other day. He had "a cents in his pocket.
He rode the subway, Mrs. insult said, because he
realized that he was now a man of very limited means
and had to live accordingly.
He died without friends, money and without a
country after knowing the best that money could buy.
Living through the stock market crash he faced the
accusations of fraud from stockholders in his company.
Fleeing his country he went from one foreign
land to another. He was asked to leave foreign coun-
tries which he did.
One cannot help but feel a surge of pity for this
old, old man. He must have at some time made some
use of his wealth to make others happy, to have brought
sunshine to the hearts of people less fortunate than
himself.
Viewing Samuel insults life and his unhappy death
we can be thankful for a heart that finds happiness
in the simpler things of life.
