 GrotOn, Connecticut
 Sir:
 On March II, 1947, as reported in the rather reliable official CON-
 GRESSIONAL RECORD, Congress-
 man Horace Seely-Brown, Jr. (the first hyphenate ever elected to Congress) of this Second Congress
 sional District of Connecticut, made a speech on the floor of the U. s.
 House of Representative in Wash ington, denouncing further appro- prfations for the United States Coast Guard. On March 12, 1947, President Truman gave a speech in the U. s. House of Representa- tives asking for 400 million dollars to aid Greece and Turkey against the Kremlin Conmies. This speech, this latter speech, was approved by Senator Vandenberg, well-knOwn COP leader. Now this proves how stupid Seely-Brown Is beyond a shadow of any doubt. To be rep- resented by such an individual dur ing this crisis Is high crime, bor- dering on outright treason. This proves definitely and definitively

ADVANTAGES OF NATIONAL SERVICES LIFE INSURANCE

l. Lower Premium Costs. Be- cause the Government administers the insurance program and the tax payer supports the program, pre- mium rates are lower than those of commercial life insurance com- panies.
 2. Higher Cash Values. National
 Service Life Insurance-0ther than
 term insurance, has a cash value
 after the first year. Cash values of
 NSLI increase, monthly, rather than
 annually.
 3. Easily Reinstated After Lapse.
 National Service Life Insurance is
 easily reinstated after policies have lapsed. Legislation has paved the way for veterans to reinState their valuable Government insurance with minimum of trouble and ex- pense.
 4. Easily Converted Even While Under Waiver of Premium. NSLI
 may be converted to a permanent form without examination at any time during the term period, even 1 though premiums are being waived
 due to total disability. 5. Easily Changed from One Per-
 manent Form to Another. A per-
 manent policy may be changed tc another with a lower premium
 within five years by passing phy-
 sical examination, and to one with
 a higher premium at any time with out a physical examination. 6. No Restrictions. There are nc restrictions as to occupation, trav- el, residence, or military or naval service. To get the same protec- ton from commercial life insur- ance companies, it is necessary to pay additional premiums. 2. Waiver of Premium Without Cost. Premiums may be waived during continuous total disability which has continued for six oa more consecutive months, and be- gan prior. to the insured's sixtieth
 birthday. There is no additional charge for this provision. 8. Completely Creditor Proof Payments of NSLI are exempt from taxation, claims of creditors, at- tachment, levy or seizure either be- fore or after receipt byaa benefi- ciary.
 9. Higher Installments Paid tC Beneficiaries. The installments paid to the beneficiaries under Op-
 tions 2, 3. and 4 are, higher than those paid by commercial com- panies, in some instances as much as 43% higher.
 l 10. Attractive Disability Benefits By passing a satisfactory physical
 examination and by paying an ad- ditiOnal premiums the owner od
 NSLI may add total disability in
 come provision that pays $500 per month per thousand of insurance during total disability lasting al least six months and beginning be- l for age 60.

House And Home
By MARY E. DAGUE
Author of Sister Mary'S
Kitchen.

Since one good sandwich usual
ly deserves another of the same
kind or of character which is
equally delicious, perhaps a few
suggestions regarding the gentle
art of sandwich making will be
welcomed by the Spring hostess.
the markings of any sandwich
are bread, butter and a suitable
filling. Good sandwich bread
should be at least twelve hours
old. Some sandwich makers pre-
fer it twice this age. The texture
should be fine and spongy rath-
err tn an coarse-grained and
crumbly. The crusts should be
trimmed off of party sandwiches
only tiny bit need be taken,
just the crispy brown edge-but
they must be trimmed. The trim
mings can be saved and dried
for other purposes SO they need
not be wasted.
If an extremely thin sandwich
is wanted it's a good idea to buy
regular sandwich bread and
spread the slices before cutting.
The secret of successful sand
witch making lies in buttering the
bread. The butter must be cream
ed. If it is put into a bowl and
beaten until creamy, exactly as

BagPiPe Relaxation
fSee Coper)
BY GEORGE W. FEY

THE GNARLED fingers of
l. James Garrioch tenderly
play over the fiutelike stem of
his bagpipes as he explains
the technique that makes him
the rare, fine piper he is.
Mr.. Garrioch is the Pipe
Major OF the St. Andrews So
ciety, which is indeed an
honor, since there are more
good pipers around this part
Of the country than one would
think.
With a burr in his voice
right out of the thistle of his
native Scotland, he says: I'VE
come together from time to
time and have a fine old ses-
sion. We play all the old
marches and clogs, and it
would fair make you dance to
hear it. Aye, It's grand music"
For more than so years,
wherever Mr.. Garrioch has
gone, there has been the skirl
OF bagpipe music. He played
with the Royal Artillery in his
native Orkney Islands, Just
of the northeastern tip of
Scotland, and got to be Pipe
Major. And when he came to
America in 1911, he brought
his bagpipes with him.
Slightly spawned now, the
same pipes still perform nobly
for Mr.. Garrioch when.
dressed in his colorful Gordon
Clan plaids. sporran swirling
and tartan banding his chest.
he plays the eternal tunes of
the heather-and lake country
at the Robert Burns dinner
sponsored each year by the
st. Andrews Society.
This Is the high spot for Mr..
Garrioch each year. Now e8.
ne hasn't missed a Burns din
ner In q years. But he has
played for many another
