THE money should be available bv
July l." Mr.. Swain said. Unless Il
is on hand, shall have to have the
insurance policies cancelled"
He estimated the policies cover
about so per cent of the State build
ings and improvements.
Mr.. Swain said he had reported the
situation to State officials last An
gust and he was informed then Gov
ernor McMullen claimed he had NOT
vetoed the insurance items.
There's really no argument in
this matter" Mr. Swain said Dre-
viously. The facts speak for them
selves. The $4,000 item was not in
cluded in the appropriations bill.
1t was vetoed and there the matter
rests until corrected"
Mr.. Swain explained that if the
policies are cancelled because of the
lack of funds to pay the $50 900 Drem-
lums. no State building would be
wholly without protection since the
policies are pretty well distributed.
The States protection is consid-
erably lessened. however" he said |
If some disaster such as fire struck

FRICIDAIRE NOTES

Is there such Il thing as using toe
appropriate a name for a product
used by millions of families? II
would hardly seem so. says o. B.
Bach, local Frigidaire dealer. yet the
fact remains that while an apt name
is more an advantage than a disad-
vantage there are times when the
makers of the product with the ap-
/ propriate name attempt to clarity
the fact that it is the brand name OF
just one product.
Years ago when electric refriger-
alton became a reality and families
began installing it i'm their kitchens,
the name "Frigidaire' was chosen
for one electric refrigerator and it
was so well qualified for its use that,
ever since, refrigeratOrs in general
have been commonly known as "Frig-
idaires."
OF course, such a situation is
bound to create certain amount of
confusion and will perplex a refrig-
orator owner who says he has a
''Frigidaire" only to have a friend
eXclaim, sOmeday: Il thought you
had a Frigidaire. but this refriger- !
atOr is a Blank" The owner may
have known all the time that the /
name of his refrigerator was not /
'FrigidaireS" but he called it by this
name simply because the word to
him carried the idea of electric re-
To some persons it may be a sur
Prise to learn that the word "Frigi-
iaire' is not a generic term but in
'tead is identified with the products
II a single manufacturer. There is a
possibility. too. that some families
Who believe they have a "Frigidaire"
will discover their error by looking
{ the nameplate on the door. Unless
he name "Frigidaire" appears on
he front of the cabinet, the refriger-
tor Is not this particular make.
All of which bOils down to the
lct that while a good name for a
roduct is an asset in more ways
ian one. there is a better than even
