Old age and survivors insurance has

ance program, its primary purpose being

ton and to minimize the serious finan-
cial results of old age and premature death
No community can afford to overlook the
serious economic problems which confront
its families when their income is reduced
or eliminated IS result of these hazards
For the retired woroker this program
provides an assurance Of a certain dignity
in his old age, because the payments he
receives are the direct results of his own
work. The elements of charity are entire

percent for the employee and the employ

ance companies have been shy
ing away increasingly.
Applies Through Pool.
Under the pool plan, a driver
who had been unable to get
insurance could apply for it
through the pool. If approved
after a thorough investigation.
one Of the pool companies would
be assigned to carry his insur-
ance and to pay any claims
which might be lodged against
him. The pool could reject him
if it decided either the driver
or his car would jeopardize pub
lie safety.
In this way it would be pos
sible to spread this class of busi-
ness evenly among companies
licensed in the District, thereby
making certain that no single
company was overburdened with
risks, declared Mr.. d'Espard.
He said the association has
urged the District insurance su-
perintendent, Albert F. Jordan,
to activate the pool plan as soon
as the security-type financial re-
sponsibility law Is enacted by
Congress.

Agent Group Urges
'Risk-PooI' Plan for
UninsurabIe Drivers
By DonoId B. HodIey


Adoption Of stronger auto
mobile liability law in the Dis
trict and a so-called assigned
risk pool" for otherwise uninsur-
able drivers has been Endorsed by
the Board of Trustees of the
District Association Of Insurance
Agents.
William A. d'Espard, associa-
ton president, last night an
nounced the boards action. He
pointed out that under present
District law, a driver found liable
for an accident must show proof
of insurance or financial re-
sponsibility to meet costs Of fu-
ture accidents.
However. in effect, the driver
may get OF scot-free from the
expenses of his first blunder if
he is uninsured, Mr.. d'Espard
said.
Stronger Law Studied.
The stronger "Security-type"
financial responsibility law, now
under study by Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp and other Dis
trict officials, would require a
motorist either to file evidence
of insurance or to deposit col
lateral at the time of an acci-
dent as proof that he will be
able to meet any financial obli-
CATION.
If this law is enacted, said Mr..
d'Espard. an aSsigned-risk pool
would be necessary so that
drivers who ordinarily would be
considered uninsurable risks
could have the opportunity to
apply for insurance-particularly
servicemen and drivers under Is
years of age, from whom insur-

Help Children
To
Safety Habits


School days are here again,
which should remind every parent
and motorist of their added respon-
sibilities. Many children will be
going to school for the first time.
Some will be going to new school
for the first time, so the police de-
partment is asking the cooperation
of every parent, motorist, and child
to help make our streets safe. The
three "E's" for safety on our
streets and highways are: Educa-
tion, Engineering, and Enforcement.
/ feel that education is the most i'm
portant of these three. Surely there
is no better time to teach a child
good safety habits than when he
or she is going to school. The
safety habits formed at this age
will follow a person all his life.
Parents of school children should
take the responsibility of teaching
their children safety. The town has
painted large school signs on all
the streets close to the school,
painted all curbs yellow at inter-
sections, and all pedestrian walks
are plainly marked. Mo parking
signs have been placed in front of
the school on South Street. This
has been done to help protect the
lives of our children. The police
department is asking the motorist
to obey these signs:
L. When you see a school sign,
slow down.
2. Don't park where the curb is
painted yellow.
8. Don't park on cross walks.
4. Don't park double.
5. Don't park on the wrong side
of the street.
6. Don't park where no parking
signs are erected.
1t is too late when child walks
from behind a parked car and is
hit, both for the motorist and the
child. The children can be of great
help if they will follow few SIM
pie rules: Cross only at intersec-
tions; look before you cross any
street; DON'T RUN.
Adults can help by setting an ex-
ample for the children to follow.
Parking Law In Smyrna
Following is the law in reference
to parking in Smyrna:
