What Are The Services
of The Advisory Insur-
= ance Company?

The Advisory Insurance Service
Omaha, has been active %locallv for
the past several months offering
in their advertising and personal
solicitations to help people obtain
cash upon some of their lapsed life
insurance policies. Industrial poll
icyholders or weekly-paynent con-
tract holders who have old polio
les on which they are not paying
premiums are the particular sub
ject of the Advisory Insurance
Service appeal.
According to the Advisory In
surance Service form, the policy
holder requests analysis for which
he agrees to pay n fifth of all
the monies he may receive from
the issuing insurance company as
the result of information furnish
ed regarding the policy. Due to
many requests from the public for
information regarding the Advis-
DRY Insurance Service, the Better
Business Bureau has developed a
sizable file on the subject.
If no controversy o. question of
law exists concerning the request
for cash surrender values, the pei
icy holder may secure the full am
cunt due him directly from the
company without paying a fee to
any third party. The services
for which the Advisory Insurance
Services charges one-fifth of any
monies received is free if policy
holders will apply either directly
to the insurance companies or to
the Department of Insurance of
this state.
The following is quoted from a
letter the Better Business Bureau
received from the apartment of
Insurance of the State of Nebras-
ka: "It is the opinion of this De-
partment there is no justification
for making a charge for the So
called service rendered, for the
reason that there is no service
rndered which cannot be had from
the companies themselves, from
their representatives or from this
Department without any charge
whatsoever. We have called the
attention of the public to these
matters through the press and
have taken other steps within our
province to inform the public that
paying for such service is wholly
needless. We believe this same in
formation should cOme to the pub.

II cnleI ~OOJectlVeS OF the Negro
Placement Service are the aiding and
advising of employment security pers-
onnel in dealing with placement prob
lens of Negro applicants and the stim-
ulating of an awareness, at the FEEDER
al and State level, of the special prob
lens of the Negro worker in his search
for adequate, productive, and continu-
ing employment. These provide the
basis for the following detectives:
(1) To provide a more effective and
efficient means for employment Sc
curity personnel throughout the Ma
ton to stimulate and increase the place
ment of qualified Negro workers in
regular gainful employment;
(2) To make it worthwhile for Ne
gIoes to register and utilize the Serv-
ice;
90 To promote a greater cogniz-
ance on the part of Negro workers of
the Importance of working toward
maximum proficiency on a job regard
less of occupational classification;
(4) To stimulate the gathering of
factual information on the types of
employment and the degree to which
Negroes are employed, with particul-
ar reference to local placement office
activity;
(5) To suggest and assist in the prep
aration of statistics on population, re-
lief, gainful workers and special skills
of Negro workers;
CO. To interpret to Negro commun-
ity agencies, organizations, employers
and the public generally, the nolicies,
program and practices of the Bureau
of Employment Security.
In many States, Negroes have
received eligible rating in merit and
civil service tests and have been APP
pointed to employment security staffs
in 22 States. Negro personnel are
classified as senior managers, manag-
ers, assistant managers, senior and
junior claims examiners, senior and
junior interviewers, vocational couns-
%ellors, receptionists, typists, clerks,
telephoI ne operators, messengers and
custodial workers. These Negro wor-
kers are employed in separate divis-
ional offices in some cities and in mix.
offices in other cities. Analysis of the
report is significant and has value as
marking a beginning point in measur.
ing the extent to which trained Negro
es participate in the employment secur
ity program. Mr.. w. Frank Persons
former Director of the United States
Employment Service has stated:
Careful observation of worker.
in the Service over a period of year.
leads me to the opinion that Negrt
workers have proved themselves eff
