The actual amount of life insur-
ance man has may be far less
important than the kind he carries.
The total face value Of his policies
is not the decisive arbiteF of pro-
lection. The whole trend of life in
surance in recent years has been to
devise more and more forms of pol
icies to meet as many individual
needs as is humanity possible. The
policy that perfectly fits the circum-
stances. the plans and the ambitions
of the man next door. might be en-
tireiy wrong for you.
One needs expert advice when it
comes to deciding the type of life
insurance to buy today. Such advice
from an unprecedented source is in
to a sound life insur-
ance program in which an insured
may not later be greatly disappoint-
ed.

DA1EIGH. Sept. 21.-There

He did say that each board would

Among the vital points to be de-
clded in the draft board regula-
tons are % Will board members
be paid or not? (2) What will the
appeals setup be?-statewide. or
by districts or divisions? 90 Shall
all registrants be physically ex-
ahmed or only those, called for
service after registration?
Governor Hoey say he has made
all his plans as far as these ques-
lions permit and that it will take
practically no time at all to get
the Tar Heel machinery in action
once the final Federal rules and
regulations are obtained.
All aliens between 81 and SO will
be required to register October 16
for the draft; but only aliens who
have declared their intention to be.
come citizens will be liable for
service under the draft call.
For many Tar Heel alters it will
make the third registration in less
than six months.
When the European crisis be-
came acute, American Legion posts
all over the state began to call at
tention to the states 9olich law
requiring alien registration w i tn
clerks of court. Enforcement of
the overlooked 1927 statute was be-
gun in many places.
Then the Federal alien registra-
ton law a passed and all aliens
began registering at postoffices.
And now those in the 21-36 age
group will have to report to their
election registrars on October 16
to be listed again..
Governor Hoey is still marking
time on all Home Guard projects.
He feels that it would be useless
to take any action beyond the most
general outlines before a Fedral
Home Guard law is passed. About
all he has decided is that the
American Legion will be used as
the Home Guard backbone, if and
when. l

cOlumn-anyway we predict a
right stormy session and per-
haps fireworks at the next meet
ing of the city council, Septem-

night had all the attributes of
calm before the blitzkreig.
Henry Harman, driver of the
truck loaded with straw, which
spilled its load at West Main and
Fourth street Saturday after
noon, probably felt as badly
about the accident as did the pa
trolmen, because of the partially
blocked traffic. It's really sur
prising the number of bales
those fellows get stacked on a
truck platform.
The writer was appointed on
the publicity committee for the
railroad crossing elimination in
east Newark, along with Ruth
Taylor of the Advocate. l am
sure that neither Miss Taylor
nor myself want to renig on the
job, but just when are all those
meetings going to be held, and
where is all the enthusiasm gone
which was originally generated
for the project. You guessed it

Remarks were heard follow
ing the unusually quiet council
meeting Monday, that perhaps
town crier should be hired to in
form the public when something
unusually interesting is in the
wind. Citizens have become in
terested in the city government
recently. | wonder why.

MAYOR VETOES ORDINANCE;
STARTS TO MOVE OFFICE

in the interest of public safety.
The desired changes which are
prohibited by this ordinance
would, contrary to the opinions
expressed by your members, be
conducive toward better law en-
forcement than we have under
the present set-up at police head
quarters, because there would be
three more officers available for
active police duty.
At the special meeting of the
council, at which members at
tempted to forestall action on
the part of the Mayor, Council
man Stare stated: "The radio
room was installed upstairs up
on the advice of competent en-
gineers and at great expense and
| see no good reason to tear it
up now it will also ruin the
efficiency of police reports {.
fire and police calls are apt to
get mixed it might mean the
loss of property and life"
Councilmen Lentz, Lockwood,
Neighbor and Faust agreed with
Stare in the sense that they vot-
ed for the now vetoed ordinance.
