On its S0acre plot on the outskirts
of Santiago, the little city will have
pleasant homes scattered through the
handicapped grounds. Not more than
80 youngsters will live in each home.
These rich little poor boys and
girls will keep cool in their own
swimming pool. They'll see the lat

They'll go in for tennis, basketball
football and track sports on one Of
the finest playing fields in the world
And when any OF them get hurt

own up-to-date hospital with able
doctors and graduate nurses TO take
care of them.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
 YOUR INSURANCE?

Often men in military service are inclined to feel that the ar- engagements they make in personal matters are temporary, and that after the war all will have to be cancelled and remade on a civilian basis. This is certainly not true where National Service Life Insur- ance is concerned.
 Though this insurance is a gov ernment project, it is by no means only of wartime duration. When service men convert their policies at the proper times to insurance of types other than the Swear lev ell premium term policy which they originally bought, they are obtain- ing insurance which will offer them every protection they could get in a commercial life insurance policy.
 In other words National Service Life Insurance will carry right on through into civilian life if the proper steps are taken for conver- sion.

Q. Although my wife receives an allotment from my Army pay each month she is not dependent on me, having other sources of income. In the event of my death will she be eligible for a widows pension?
 A. Yes, a widow does not have to prove need. Payments to them are automatic by the Veterans Administration and in case of the death of their servicemen hus- bands, they will receive widows pensions even though they may have other income.
 Q. My wife receives a Class X allotment from me every month. Pm going overseas now and won- der what will happen to her if my ship goes down and I'm re- ported missing in action. Will she still receive the allotment?
 A. Yes. The Secretary of War has the authority to authorize the payment of an allotment from the pay of a soldier who is re- ported missing in action, beleaguered, beseiged, captured or interned whenever these pay ments are considered essential for the protection of the soldiers de pendents.

WEEKLY CREMATION CHAT
WHY l FIGHT

In an Essay Contest on, Why ! Fight" conducted by the 91st In- fantry Division T/5 Bernard Fl. Smith won first prize. The contest was conducted as part of the reg ular Division Orientation program. Following is T/5 Smiths essay. The people of the United States are the government. Therefore, I. who am one of the people, am a part of the government of my country. When the property or tho people or the honor of my coun- try is imperilled, it is my property or myself or my honor which is inn perilled, as we'll as if my house or my person were attacked or endan- gered. That which affects my gov- ernment and my country affects me also. If my country prospers then prosper. If my country ia bound in miseries, then likewise ] am bound in miseries.
 So it is in larger sense with all of the free peoples of the Earth, held together by bond more last ing than any written laws and en- forced by will far stronger than any physical might. This is tho bond of understanding between people who possess an inherent de- sire for the common peace, for an utter absence of fear for any man or any group of men, desire for the simple occupation of pursuing the course of life in freedom and equality.
 If free people of any race OF creed or color on this Earth be imperilled as to property, person or honor, it is logical that I consider the peril as great to my own prop erty, person and honor as it is to the endangered. For I am a free man and the rights of all free men must be respected and protected over Jhe Earth. If I allow them to be disregarded in Europe or in Asia, may expect them to be dis regarded in my own neighborhod
 This is why I fight: Those rights of freedom that belong to all men have been imperilled and endan- gered. Even as I prospered through them in peace, so must l share tho responsibilities and the miseries that have come since they were at- tackled. Thus, since I am a part of that government, it is my property and my honor and myself that have been attacked.
 If the danger to these rights and liberties is not at once removed and forever crushed, I will be forced to stand guard over them, and my family and my children after me; I will live in constant fear that the danger might over whelm me. I will be enslaved to a routine of watchfulness and my self respect will amount to naught.
 Living thus in state of fear and slavery. l would not be free
 This is why I fight.

SEVEN JURORS
 CHOSEN TODAY
$l5,OOO Action Sequel to Bus.TruCk Collision to
 Be Started

Seven jurors were impaneled up to o'clock in superior court today for trial of the 9l6,000 civil action brought by Cecile Deschesnes, ad- ministratrix of the estate of Louis DeschesneS, against the Elm City Filling Static nof New Haven, and the Colonial Beacon oil Company of Massachusetts. The suit is one of five pending in the court as result of the disastrous Cheshire road bus-truc collision of last Sept. 13, and is the first set for 8 hear ing.
 The plaintiff in the case seeks re- covery for fatal injuries sustained by her husband, who was. driver of the bus.
 Prospective jurors were question: ed today against possible prejudices against bus drivers and the use of oil trucks on highways, and all were asked whether or not they had form ed definite opinions and the acci. dent as Q result of press or radio reports.
 Before the individual question: ing started counsel, speaking before the whole panel, asked whether or not any of the veniremen had ever been in the gasoline or petroleum business or whether or not any members of. their families had such associations. Two responded and told of gasoline sales made by members of their families, but both indicated the circumstance would have no bearing on their ability to try the case fairly.
 All of the jurors were asked if they had had experience with blow. outs and if they thought blowout signified negligence on the part of the driver. A tire blowout has been accredited as the cause of the ac. cident and the plaintiff is charg- ing negligence against the oil com panied for failure to inspect the oil truck and note the defect in the left front tire which blew up.
 Fourteen persons were questioned before the lunch recess, with four excused by the defense, two by the court. and one by the plaintiff, fol- lowing examination. An extra panel Of l2 persons was summoned in this morning, in addition to the regular panel which has been serving for the spring term.
 The accident, which Is the basis of the suit, occurred at about 2:30 in the afternoon, when the bus was travelling toward Cheshire, with many school children as passengers. The truck driver, Harry Hemstock of New Haven died instantly in the crash, while the bus driver suc- cumbed several hours later. Seven- teen children were injured.
