BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 5.-A
Virginia Republican leader said
today the Tidewater Telephone
Co. has on it's payroll ''the most
influential and prominent public
officials" in the area it serves, and
wanted to know where subscriber
could go to have complaints ad-
justed.
In a speech prepared for de-

Richmond, Northumberland Coun-

company of making "the people
supply it with operating capital
through forcing them to pay phone
bills in advance"

the month";" he went on. land de-
manded immediate payment" 1t

an elected county official, Mr..

unwilling to bow to these cut

After an investigation Of a sit

the company at $8,400-a-year

added that Senator Norris draws
$50 a month retainer as legal ad-
wiser in addition to his pay as a

litical personages in the area
served by the company" MIR.

The new equipment has resulted

asked for and got a terrific rate
increase. Where an increase Of

he continued, "the actual increase
came to so or so per cent in many

The only solution, Mr.. johnson
said, is Ito get together and drive

Wildr0se.

"uOfU8S.
June Is the month Of roses. Our
national floral emblem is the native
wildroSe.
Most of the trees and pusnes are
close relatives to the wildrose. Wild
roses are next in abundance TO
grasses. And most of the wildroseS
growing over our great country to-
day are native Americans. True We
have some charming naturalized
immigrants from foreign lands that
have escaped from gardens. Shake
speare's Canker Bloom, the beautiful
dog rose or wild brier has spread
it's long struggling branches over
banks, waste places and barren spots
with its smooth, dark green foliage.
Because it lacked perfume, some one
gave to it the name Of dog as a
mark Of contempt.
Pro. Koch tells us that long
before it was customary to incloSe
gardens with walls, men had Wild
rose hedges" Each Of the four
great peoples of Asia possessed its
own variety of rose, and carried 1t
during all wanderings, finally all
four became the common property Of
all"
Five petals and five sepals are
always found on wildroSes. To pro-
tect themselves from destruction
by grazing cattle, the wildrose armed
itself with curved, sharp prickles,
not true thorns or modified
branches, but surface gadgets to
annoy enemies.
WildroseS do not serve nectar.
They are generous with their pollen.
To prevent ant thieves from getting
pollen without payment. the hostess
coated her chalice with fine hairs and
a sticky gum.
To attract birds, vital transpor-
tation agents, the plant covered her
seed children with bright red, tasty
coats. The wide distribution Of
wildroses in out-of-th-way places,
is due to bird travellers dropping
the undigested seeds.
In literature, ancient and modern,
sacred and profane, no flower
figures so conspicuously as the rose.
To the Romans 1t was most signi-
ficant when placed over the door of
a public or private banquet hall.
Each who passed beneath 1t bound
himself thereby not to disclose any
thing said or done within the house,
hence the expression "sub-rosa."

/ remembered: whether a cash value
is built up or not, in the event oil
death before the maturity of the
policy, only the face amount of the
insurance will be paid. The cash
value is available only to the insured
in the event he desires a loan on
his policy, or surrenders it to the
insurer. Thus, even though the in
sured has. $4,000 insurance having
a cash value of $1,000 at the time of
his death, his beneficiary will re-
ceive only $10,000-not $4,000.
A partial solution to this problem
would be to carry $4,000 insurance
on the term plan. I'm essence, this
is nothing but the idea of fire in
surance applied to life). Extra money
available for insurance protection
could then be placed in savings
bonds or other interest bearing Sc
curities. AT death of the insured.
the beneficiary would then receive,
not only $4,000 insurance, but also
the value of the securities as we'll.
In addition. the insured during his
lifetime could avail himself of his
own savings in emergencies without
affecting his insurance or asking
permission.
We have said that this is a par
tial solution. It will be a good solu-
ton for the problems of many ex-
CTS, who are interested in the adj
provided by this method
of insurance protection. 1t is, how
ever, only partial solution, in that
putting extra money into "perma-
nent insurance" has its own advan-
tages in the way of paid-up and
extended values, plus perhaps
slightly higher savings value, if the
possibility of death within the in
surance period is subordinated to
The desire to have money available

period.

But for the person whom we have
defined as an average EXCL" df |
here is any such person., it is sub
nitted that his best bet is to carry
10000 term insurance for the time |
'eing as protection for his family, |
nd to consider conversion only when |

. YOUR CT INSURANCE

We have been asked for some ad
vice to veterans who are wondering
whether to convert their National
Service Life Insurance to one of the

before the expiration of the term
insurance period.
Our advice. in a nutshell, is this.
Don't be in any hurry to convert.
Keep up your CT insurance, as much
as you can carry. But don't convert
without looking over the facts and
examining your own circumstances
and needs.
