I'll Insurance
Free: What's
To Do Now?
BY ROGER BROOKS.
Captain. USN lRei.)

THE RULE OF 8"

Before closing this series Of
articles, let us leave you with a
few general words about the stan
dards a life insurance program
should meet.
Your insurance program shoule
be tailor-made to suit your needs
but there is simple thumb rule
you can use to find yr,,r mini
mum needs, either Tor planning
or to check on what you have
now. 1t is the Rule Of 8" re-
ferred to in our last article.
Every young man needs to real
ize that during fully 1-8 Of his
adult life he can expect to have
NO earning power. Therefore, the
rule is to save at least l-8 Of your
pay from the very first If you
are single and not planning to
marry, it is a good idea to save
this l-8 Of your earnings through
permanent types of life insurance
(the kinds with cash values) By
starting early, you can get a head
start on the larger insurance needs
you'll have when you change your
mind and marry, as 9 out Of 10
men do.
For you married men, the Rule
of 8" is that your insurance should
total 8 times your yearly budget,
Figure out how much money your
family Including your is living on
per year. PAY less savings and
insurance. Does your life insur-
ance now total at least 8 times
that yearly amount? Do NOT
count double indemnity and poll
cies with WAR CLAUSES in this
total You can be content with a
little less (a) if your wife is now
working and you are SURE you
will not leave her pregnant (b)
IL your oldest child is over q
years old and able in few years
TO start earning money,
NOTE FOR WIVES: You're the
ones behind the IS" ball if he
leaves you with NOT ENOUGH
insurance.
The Rule Of g. gives minimum
need. Fortunately. the most inn
portant needs ID to protect your
family and ~ 10 provide for your
later life can be met by the same
insurance, if properly chosen. SO,
If you have enough permanent
type insurance TO cover the larger
of the two needs Casually family
protection ii will generally cover
the old age need too.
Remember the Rule of 81.
SAVE l-8 OF PAY FOR YOUR
OLD AGE, If SINGLE.
INSURE FOR 8 TIMES YOUR
FAMILY YEARLY BUDGET, II
MARRIED.
To sum up, we advise that I'M
der the new law which grants
free CT insurance, you should
d) Keep your old insurance.
t2l Get the waiver Of premiums.
CD Convert your term policy
And we have set forth the Rule
Of 81 as a minimum standard for
your life insurance plans
This advice Is Of q general ma
thre. AS we stated before, a sound
and permanent insurance pro-
gram should be tailored 10 fit YOUR
own needs. Insurance is compli-
Gated; IL you have problems con-
nected with it, 60 10 your Insur-
ance Officer or to a qualified in
slirance counsellor.
The earlier you start on per
manent program, the better for
you. Plan program now that viii
provide for your future for the
longest possible time. your life
time and beyond.

Florida Looks
ToHeuviest
'Off-Seuson'

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Florida
is readying her sultry charms in
anticipation of the biggest "off-
season" in history.
The off or bargain season went
on the auction block last year for
Ia bare fraction of the winter cost
Record numbers of vacationers
who ordinarily would have vaca-
toned elsewhere rolled into Flor
ida in a great tide. They filled
the hotels and other resort &C
Icommodations to overf1owing, and
even some of the stanch winter
crowd decided to come back and
see for themselves the a-borning
Iof a new era.
More than ! million persons
visited Florida March through No
lvember. Most of these were FAM
lilies and single men and women
iof modest means and with vaca-
tions of 10 to 80 days.
They found, for example, that
the best hotels in Miami Beach
were offering rooms for Sc to SIC
a day. Suites, in some cases, went
for as little as $12.
The transportation companies
offered packaged tours, including
Transportation, meals, room anc
entertainment, for as little as $11A
for a weeks stay on a glamorous
Florida beach. Many families
travelling to Florida by automo-
bile in the off-season of 1850
found the numerous State parks
particularly desirable.
Howe Sadler, director of Flor
ida's State Advertising Commits
sion, predicts that the coming sea-
son will even be better than last,
Prices and the availability of
laccommodat Sadler said
will be about the same this sum-
mer as last, but free services and

ATLANTIC CITY, N. 1.-THE
famous Atlantic City skyline,
which is probably second only to

Smile beach.
AbSecon Island, that strip of

seen anything like 1t since the

Most notable change to meet
the tourist eye this coming sum-

Ia $2.5 million project housing 281
apartments in an X-shaped struc-

ocean side. The second, the May
fair, about 50 million, is a con-
Iventional type structure with 222
apartments on II floors and stores
on the street level. The former
is scheduled to be open for sum-
mer occupancy. while the latter is
pointing toward September.
Meanwhile, work is starting on
a new four-Story, ocean-front
structure for the Children's Sea-
shore Home.
At other points in the Atlantic
City section of the beach, old
stores are being razed for new
ones. The city is continuing the

Span Replaces
Old PennsviHe
Ferry July |

PENNSVILLE, N. with the
scheduled opening of the Delaware
Memorial Bridge on July /, New
Jersey shore resorts move closer
= to their customers.
Into the limbo of sailing ships
and model T's will go the New
Castle-Pennsville Ferry. And the
overloaded highway to New York
will bow to the New Jersey Turn
pike, which opens in September.
Miles and hours will be saved. The
Delaware Memorial Bridge is the
golden key that will speed North
South vacation travel, and open up
the Jersey shore resorts to thou
sands.
The Delaware River and the
Delaware Bay have been a barrier
to free communication between
Delaware and New Jersey since
Colonial times. In 1912 the VIII
mington- -Penns Grove Ferry was
placed in service, to be followed
in 1925 by the New Castle -Penns-
vile Ferry. The shorter time re-
quired and the better highway
connections on the Delaware ap-
, proach gave the latter ferry a de-
cided advantage and the Whining
ton-Penns Grove Ferry ceased op-
erations in 1912.
Ferry Inadequate.
AS great a boon as the New
Castle-Pennsville Ferry was to the
people of Delaware and Southern
New Jersey, the ferry system be-
came inadequate and unSatisfac-
tory in handling the heavy and
rapidly increasing traffic over the
route between New York, Balti-
more, Washington and the South.
Ferry traffic was also inter-
rupted at times by dense fogs and
bad weather conditions. On week
ends during the summer months.
traffic was sometimes backed up
for several miles on both sides of
the river.
The Delaware Memorial Bridge
Is a four-lane suspension bridge
with a suspended center span of
2,150 feet and side suspended
spans of 750 feet. The approaches
total Ills feet in length. The
length of the center span will
make it the sixth longest bridge
In the world.
By-Passes Cities.
The construction of the New
Jersey Turnpike, connecting the
Delaware Memorial Bridge with
the George Washington Bridge
into New York emphasizes the
effect on smoothly handling the
heavy coastal traffic. On compile
ton of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
by Maryland, long distances can
be traversed without being de-
layed by passing through major
cities or large towns.
Wilmington, Del, and the neigh
boring counties in New Jersey will
receive mutual benefits from this
facility. Atlantic City and the
New Jersey shore resorts will be
more available to the people of
Western Pennsylvania, Maryland
and the District of Columbia.
At least two hours will be cut
from the time it now takes to
travel the 130 miles the turnpike
route will take from a point near
the George Washington Bridge in
the north to the Delaware Me-
mortal Bridge in the south,

Tide of Spring
Color Climbs


RALEIGH, N. C.-The tide of
spring in North Carolina. which
started in the sub-tropical south
east, is flashing signals of color
lnorthward and toward the highest
mountains of Eastern America.
AS the color parade moves west
ward through the Sandhills and
Piedmont, it will be joined by pink
and white dogwood, laurel, peach
and apple blossoms, and the June
and July blooming of rhododen-
Idron-purple and white-on the
mountain tops along the Blue
Ridge Parkway and in the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park.
Dogwood and AzaleaS.
In March and April came the
lprelude to the mountain Towering
show-the blossoming of smaller
ground flowers, such as hepaticas,
cinquefoil, violets, trillium, wild
iris, phacelia and mountain bluetS.
Through May, dogwood flares
against the mountainsideS.
In mid-May comes the pink
azalea, and early in June the flame
azalea, ranging from clear lemon
yellow through brilliant orange to
deep red, can be seen at lower ele-
Ivations.
The fame azalea continues its
climb to the tops of the higher
hardwood slopes in June. Spec
tacular areas include Gregory Bald
in the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park and the top of
Wayah Bald, where the John
Byrne Memorial Tower rises in the
Nantahala National Forest near
Franklin.
One of the largest concentra-
Itions of laurel is the Pink Beds
of Pisgal, in the National Forest
near Breyard, usually at their best
lin June.
RhOdOdendr0n in June.
Purple rhododendron overlaps
the azalea and laurel seasons with
a June appearance of the purple
pink Catawbiense on the higher
peaks along the Blue Ridge Park
way at Grandfather Mountain and
at Craggy. Acres of huge bushes
covered with purple clusters dot
these mountains at elevations OF
a. mile or more above sea level.
One of the best areas for purple
rhododendrons is Roam Mountain
a fiat bald with a great meadow
lat 5000 feet near Bakersville in
Mitchell County. This display
usually reaches a peak in late
June. New roads are under con-
Istruction to Roam.
l Another famous purple rhode
Idendron area is Craggy Gardens
through which passes a newly
opened link of the Blue Ridge
Parkway north of Asheville.
In late June and early July
white rhododendron appears, in
Ia climax of a spring color parade
which lasts five months in crossing
the breadth of North Carolina.
