Farm Bureau Plans
To Open New Offices

COLUMBUS, Ohio-The Farm Bu-
reau Insurance Companies today
announced plans to open from IA
to 18 regional Offices to help the
home Office here serve a family OF
policyhoIders now climbing for
100000.
First step in the decentralization
will be to open a New England unit
in New Haven, Conn.,, on October
23, according to Howard Hutchin-
son, vice neutrality-suspicious..
other regional offices will be
added in other sections of the COM
panies' territory, which includes II
eastern states and the District OF
Columbia.
On deck, after the New England
opening, are a Central Ohio ONCE
and a tri-state unit serving Mary
land. Delaware, the District of Col
umbia, and northeast Virginia.
Opening of regional headquar-
ters will not affect the size OF the
companies payroll in Columbus
Mr.. Hutchinson said.
InitiaIly, the New Haven set-up'
which will serve pOlicyhOlders in
Connecticut, Rhode Island ana
Vermont, will employ $50 people.
It is expected that from $50 to 5OO
will be needed for each OF the
other units.
Fxcept for overall administra--
tive. accounting and actuarial
work. each regional Office will Op-
crate as if it we're a small lnsur-
ance company unto itself, Mr.. Hut
crimson said. 1t will issue policies
collect premiums, and pay claims.

available workers have comDlne'
to speed up decentralization, MI
hutchinson explained. He tlcKe

surance service closer to the pOllCS
holders. and we hope, by reducln

not actually to reduce them' despll

He pointed out that if the thrt
Farm Bureau Insurance COmpanl'
continue to grow IA per cent eac

years. it would mean 4,OOO,OOO po
icyholders by 1860. -,

Mortgage Money Is
Still Plentiful


DENTON, Md. - Fears that home
building on Delmarva Peninsula
would be discouraged during the
next few months by shortage Of
mortgage money are rapidly disap-
pearing, according to Elias w. Nut
tie, local lumber and building ma
terials dealer and member of the
Public Affairs Committees of the
National Retail Lumber Dealers AS
sociation.
Some parts of the country, in
cluding the Eastern Shore, expert
enced difficulty in arranging mort
cages until recently, but additional
funds have become available as a
result of payments made on out
standing mortgages and increased
personal savings in the hands of
lending institutions" Mr.. Nuttle
said.
Actually, unless building pro-
ducts containing steel, copper and
aluminium become more scarce than
appears likely now, home building
should continue at an abOve-aver-
age rate during the next year.
Legislation recently passed by
Congress permits smaller down
payments on lOwer-priced houses
thus making it possible for more
families to purchase a Few home.
Defense agencies in Washington
say that, at the present time, they
have no intention of discOuragine
construction of small and medium
sized homes, although they are is
suing very few permits for social
| ed luxury housing.
Under existing regulations, any
one wishing to build a home re
quiring no more than 1900 pound
! of steel and 35 pounds of copper, o
1850 pounds of steel and 100 pound
of copper, automatically qualife
for an allotment of critical mater
ials and may start building withou

Authority so that red tape wOul

Danny Mcgowan has been total

which is charted ever road path,

Danny's ears stand at attention
when he is cycling in case an au-

one he gets off the bike and waits
at the side of the road for the car
to pass. He never rides on the
town streets during the summer
months. There are too many tour
