Life Insurance Use Shows
Change i'm Women's Role

Today between IS and 20 per-
cent of all life insurance is own
ed by women. Not long ago this
percentage would have been UNI
thought-of.
According to jeanne w. ReitZ,
home management specialist with
the University of Maryland Elk
tension Service, the report points
to three changes that have taken
place in our society in the last
generation.
First, the growing realization
that women make consider
able economic contribution to
their families, along with their
other contributions.
Second, more women have
jobs and many are supporting
young children. Life insurance
helps to protect these children
financially.
Finally, more women are us
ing life insurance to build their
own retirement income, or to
supplement family income af-
ter their husbands retirement.

Women are making a record
high use of life insurance, ac-
cording to a life insurance insti-
tute. A report furnished by the
institute further states that at
the end of last year, women own
ed more life insurance in their
own right than in any previous
year. The grand total they own
exceeds so billion dollars, which
S no small amount for the pro

them as because it makes for bet

Look for big dOings in about
two weeks at Thomas Hard
ware and Supply Co., in Gath

taken over by new owners. The
young prOprietOrs, John Thorn

One of the Understanding
men I've met in a long time is
Woodrow Adams, owner of the

the Woodlawn Fuel Co. Mr..
Adams, who started in business
in 1889 with nothing to fall back
on but his own taste for hard
work and good business sense,
has developed three prospecting
companies.
He showed me his metal-Work-

work on furnace installations. If
you suspect that your furnace is
ready for replacement, why not
call Mr.. Adams for consultation
about installing a new Thatcher
model?

And if the cap isn't enough to

Crockett craze is apparently here
to stay, so we may as well let

This column, dedicated to
the thousands of women in
our community W no run
households, raise children, are
active in civic affairs and, in
addition, sometimes manage
full-time careers, has been
held up for three weeks for
want of a name.
Friends, relatives and the
SENTINEL staff has been
pressed for ideas and usually
rewarded with an ungrateful
"Naaaaa!" Our editor was al
most run out of office for sug-
costing "The Modern Matron'
since a matron, to me, is
either the head of a penal in
stitution or an elderly person.
Approaching middle age" is
the closest description I'll al
low in spite of that six-foot
teenager at our house.
"Dotty's Date Book" Bows
and Knots in the Apron Strings"
THE Crinoline Calendar" and
Garlic in the Casserole" as a
takeoff on Betty McDonald's lat
est, were considered and gently
dropped.
The calendar was the biggest
challenge as it contained the germ
of a good idea. l contend that if
there's any one thing that points
up the difference between the
modern woman and her grand
mother, it's the formers need to
write notes to herself.
Time for Grandma was served
in large chunks. There were
washing days, ironing days and
days for baking. The Wednesday
Afternoon Sewing Circle and the
Friday Night Euchre Club were
too regular to miss.
She called he,doctor only when
her children were ill and the one
reason for visit to the dentist
was an aching tooth. Social af-
fairs were such big events in her
life that memo pad would have
seemed ridiculous.
Never did she have to plan a
schedule to fit SO odd activities
into the space of a day for five
completely different individuals.
The modern family would cease
to function without some kind
of clearing house. At the Wal
eSki's, it's the League of Women
Voters calendar that hangs over
the telephone.
No one makes a move without
consulting this calendar which is
the large economy size of 10 by
II, with convenient blocks of
space for every day.
1t was good point, well taken,
but did you ever try to find a
rhyme for calendar or even an al
liberation? 1 cOmbed the diction-
airy and "crinoline" was the best
l could find and it wasn't good
enough.
Finally my husband wearied of
living with female who respond

H TAX

There is some confusion about
tax headlines because of the fact
that a major wire service report
ed enormously on the headlines
recently, and also because of the
fact that this year citizens will
have until April Is to file their
final tax returns, rather than
March Is.
The deadline for persons who
should have filed quarterly esti-
mates in 1854 is still January Is,
and farmers who should have
filed such estimates face a dead
line of January 81. Although the
tax law adopted in 1854 changed
these headlines - to January 81
and February 18th, respectively,
these changes do not take effect
until payments are made in 1856.
The final classic effort for the
bedraggled taxpayer, however, is
changed this year. This last-gasp
desperation push - which it is to
so many millions ~ will not be
necessary until midnight of April
18th, 1855. In other words, the
average citizen is getting a thir-
teen-month spread this time, hav-
ing completed his final returns by
March 18th, 1854, and having
another month before such action
is necessary this year.

THIS UNIVERSE OF OURS

A recent series of articles in
Life magazine, we. think, gives
an excellent and thought-provok-
ing insight into the mysteries of
our universe. In a recent article.
it was explained, by pictures and
words, how infinitesimal this
world is and how infinite the vast
areas of the universe are.
One. of the best cures we know
for the well-known big head, and
one Of the most SOLDERING reflec-
tons man can make, is a study of
the universe and the vastness of
space and material which sur
rounds this tiny earth. We are but
a speck, flying around the sun,
and we are only a very minor
body in I'll group of stars and
planets.
However, there are so many
other groups, and such an infin-
itesimal number of similar suns
and their surrounding planets that
it staggers the imagination. For
instance, we are described as only
a tiny speck in the gigantic Milky
Way, which early astronomers had
assumed to be very far away.
Also of interest is the fact that
the light of many stars we see is
of years old. This mean

Scotch father and a French moth
er.
That was on January 18th, 1857,
and, when he was only II, he was
already making speeches favor
ing a Congress of the colonies. AT
the age of 20, he was made an
aide to the staff of General George
Washington, with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel.
AS most readers know, he be-
came the first Secretary of the
Treasury, under President Wash
ington, and made q brilliant repu-
tation for himself in that job. La
ter he was appointed a Major
General in the Army and given
the duties Of Inspector General,
and helped work out plans for the
defense Of the United States when
the danger of war with France
became acute.
While still a comparatively
young man, Hamilton was chal-
Ienged to a duel by Aaron Burr,
and although he disapproved of
duels, he accepted, so that he
would not be thought cowardly.
In that memorable duel, at Wee
haWkeen, New Jersey, on July H.,
1904, Hamilton fired his pistol in
the air, but Burr aimed directely
at his hated opponent and fatally
wounded him. He died the next
day.
To all those Americans who
think youth a handicap and to
those who believe that age must
necessarily accompany positions of
responsibility in our coun-
try, we point to Hamilton to dis
prove this theory. Even at seven
teen he was a leader among his
people, and in his twenties, he
was one of the major forces gen
Grating sentiment in the colonies
in favor of independence from
England. The story of Hamilton's
life and his accomplishments is

Astronomers are still discovering
that the vastnesS of the universe
is greater than they had ever
imagined. In our lifetime, the best
estimates of the distance involved
in the universe have been revised
several times and astronomers are
fast coming to the conclusion that
perhaps this universe of ours is
infinite. That is a term we on

CELEBRATING RECENT
THE HOLIDAY SEASON

So much has been written on
traffic accidents that we hesitate
to say anything about the sub
ject - lest we sound trite and
repititous. However, it is worth
calling attention of the the reader
to the fact that the recent holiday
season took a record toll of lives
on U. S. highways.
In other words, hundreds of
Americans celebrated the recent
holiday by killing themselves in
head-on smashes on the highways,
in running off the roads and
crashing into Instructions, and in
running over unsuspecting pedes-
TRANS. Others were involved in
accidents which were traceable to
Intoxicating beverages, and still
others we're highway victims for
various reasons.
This occurred only a few days
after the Presidents national Hi
way Safety Day, when highway
deaths were cut down, but not
eliminated - even for a day. We
are now talking about highway
deaths, and not injuries resulting
from highway accidents. In the
matter of deaths alone, more than
five hundred Americans are eraS-
ed from this earth every week in
the United States. The rate during
the holiday season was higher than
that.
There is no one answer, although
it is clear that the main answer
is greater safety and carefulness
on the highways. But also needed
is a new highway construction
program, something like that
which is to be proposed by the
President. One of the crying needs
today is for greatly expanded
highway facilities, safer highways,
more overpasses, better markings
and new safey enforcement regu-
lations. No one improvement is the
answer to the number Of deaths
now occurring on our highways.
