Local I'll
Corner

On April 18th, the newest re-
|cruit for UAW membership
made his entry into the city Of
Defiance. He is David Mangas,
the latest addition to the fami-
ly of Gene and Mrs. Mangas.
Gene is the President of Local
211. The boy tipped the scales
at 8 pounds and IL ounces, and
made it possible for Gene to win
the sweepstakes in which he had
spotted four other l o. al resi-
dents one pound each on their
offspring. Dude Sutton, main
tenance worker at Central Foun-
dry and also a participant in the
sweepstakes, was a little light
with 6 pound, 3 ounce baby
girl, and lost fifth to Mangas.
However, he beat Gene on a bet
on whether it would be a boy or
girl, and collected a double.
Marv Hesselschwardt w o u d
have been a c n c h to win the
sweepstakes if Mangas had let
him in. His offspring tipped the
scales at 10 pounds and 8 ounces.
All mothers babies and fathers
are doing fine.
The Local 211 picnic commit
tee met last Monday night to dis
cuss plans for their annual pic
mic which will be held in the
summer months. If any of the
past picnics set a standard for
future picnics, the members can
expect a bang-up affair.
Barney w. has his. corn in (the
field and is anxious to begin
negotiations to pure h e an

The appointment of Moody,

Moody as "a personal friend,

Ohio Refused More Gas

When pressed further to ex-
plain why this situation pre-

the problem was nothing that
"pipes and pipelines could not

Be Finance Wise
By Betty Miles

When milady dotted her hustle
rolled up her leg-of mutton sleeves
and entered the business world
she accepted the necessity of fac
ing realistically all of the respon-
sibilities formerly shouldered only
by men.
Studies have shown that women
work today because they need the
money. Frequently, they are the
breadwinners in the family And
they need insurance for precisely
the same reasons their male coun-
terparts do, to provide for their
own and their loved ones future.
For persons of moderate means,
insurance offers the only way in
which an estate can be created.
For many years, incidentally
companies refused to insure wom-
en- at all, or, at least, placed
rigid restrictions on insurance for
them. Today, the fair sex can
purchase insurance under the
same terms as men.
Many women have dependents
a mother, father. children
sometimes even a husband. Many
have homes on which there are
mortgages. Many own their own
business. Many pool their income
with their husbands to buy a
home and carry out other family
plans. Provisions must be made
SO that their death will not leave
their family without the funds
they formerly provided.

Be Finonce Wise
Life Insurance important to Women, Too

The point that the housewife
VINO does not work outside ner
own home has, nevertheless, real
economic value, has been made
many times, according to Miss
Helen A. Pendergast, well-known
local life insurance consultant and
past national chairman of the
woman underwriters of the Ma
tional Association of Life Under
writers. But it's worth repeating,
because many couples still do not
accept it.
II don't want to profit from my
wife's DEATH" some husbands de-
clare. This is not suggested. But
a wife's loss will mean outlay in
dollars and cents on her husbands S
part. Some one to care for the
children may have to be employed.
A housekeeper may be needed for
the home. And there may be
hospital expenses, other bills that
are due and funeral costs, that
will sorely tax the family budget.
If there isn't a fund from which
to draw. the children may suffer.
Through her policy, too, a
mother can make sure that her
children have money for their
education.
frequently. also, a housewife
may wish to leave a small nest
egg to aged parents if her hus-
band doesn't need the money. If
she survives her husband, her
insurance guarantees a clearance
fund for expenses at her death,

Women may even select a plan
that has short premium paying
period, thus providing a paid-ur
policy before the years when
Iwidowhood might occur. Policies
so helpful in later years can be
secured at lower premiums when
a person is younger, of course,
and sometimes cannot be secured
at all when she is older.
Should a woman be well off
financially. or outlive her husband
and inherit a substantial estate
from him, her insurance will be of
use in helping to settle her estate
tax at her death.
The lions share of life insur-
ance, naturally, should be taken
out on the family breadwinner.
whether man or woman.
When buying insurance, Miss
Pendergast explained, two uues-
tions must be settled: How much
do you need? How much can you
pay?
A plan should be based on a
realistic evaluation of the family
program, the standard of living
and the number of children.
Wives should be thoroughly
familiar with their spouses in
Isurance plans. More and more.
happily, women are educating
themselves in insurance matters.
Statistics reveal the unpleasant
fact that high percentage of
todayS wives will be widows. And
usually husbands have UNDER
provided for their wife and family.
underwriters find.
Unmarried business women ara
concerned primarily with arrang-
ing for q guaranteed income when
their working days are over.
A study of holders of annuity
policies revealed that they live
longer than non-holders, Miss
Pendergrast reported. It is pe-
lieved that the knowledge that
there will be a check coming in
every month contributes to their
longevity. Businesswomen who
have an adequate annuity plan
that. combined with other funds
such as social security benefits
and a civil service or company
retirement plan, will give them
sufficient income in later years.
still may need straight life insur-
ance to provide last expenses.
The many working women, who
are either totally or partially re-
sponsible for the support Of par
ents or other relatives must make
provisions for them.
Young women usually are not
interested in insurance, Miss
PendergaSt has observed. Prince
Charming may be right around
the corner, it is true, yet, as we
have shown, whether or not she
marries. a girl is wise to
commit herself to saving a lit
tie each year through insurance.
Also. every policy has an annuity
feature that can be used if neces-
sary in later years. Then too, girls
Of rs or 80 may not realize that
their mothers of so may, within
the next five or ten years, become
their responsibility, at least in
part.
Insurance should definitely be
part Of the financial plan of a
woman who owns or is a partner
N business. or is a key person
IN a firm.
Women tend to be a little un-
realistic about their financial
plan, Miss Pendergast has found,
Many still think that marriage
will relieve them of the necessity
Of providing for their financial
future, though this often proves
not the case. And they don't avail
themselves Of the services special
lists offer to help them arrange
their financial program as in
diligently as they have their
educational and professional ones.
