Air Insurance Sales Soar
After Colorado Disaster

like to think Of 1t as the worlds
cheapest insurance and they're
at least close.
I'VE can afford to do it at that
price because Of the admirable
safety record Of the airlines,'
Mr.. Glasgow said.
Increased Sales Expected
The increase Of sales, either
at company Offices or by the slot
machines, Immediately after the
Colorado crash was anticipated
by Continental. "It usually fol-

He deplored a slight, temporary
drop in air travel which as 9

tance to fly because of a crash !:

instead of intellectually" he
said. THE airlines' safety rec
ord is outstanding and is get
ting better year by year"
He estimated that 20 per cent

insurance of one kind or another
All have death benefits, some
have dismembement clauses anc
allowances for medical reim-
bursement.
Almost every policy is pur-
chased with the death benefit
in mind" Mr.. Glasgow said.
Some policies extend the GOV.

GA MisIed on Langley,
Alexandra PIonner Says

An Alexandria Chamber Of
Commerce director and planning
consultant said yesterday that
officials of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency had been misled
by a report which recommended
the site at Langley. Va. for
the proposed SAG million CIA
headquarters.
The criticism followed a state
ment Friday by a CIA official
that the Winkler tract in Alex
andria has been eliminated and
the agency now is considering
the Langley site in Fairfax
County.
Edward 8. Holland, chairman
Of q Chamber committee seeking
the CIA for Alexandria and a
planning consultant in northern
Virginia for 20 years, said:
1T is inconceivable to me that
the conclusions appearing in
the report could be arrived at,
and 1t is my opinion that the
report is definitely misleading
to the officials of the CIA, to
the Government Of. the United
States and to some people of
Virginia.
Report Is Disputed
j The report was made by the
New York engineering consult
ing firm of Clarke and Rapuano,
which was hired by CIA to adj

The report said one of the
main reasons for not recon-

that 1t is too low in relation to

800 People Have
Used This Wisdom
In Making Their
Own Funeral
Arrangements

More than thirty years ago when we first discussed
advance funeral arrangements with the individual
himself, the idea was an entirely new concept OF
and the wisdom that prompted such discussion
by the individual so impressed Gawler q Sons that
we have-over the yearS-Sincerely attempted TO
urge others to consider the same move
Now that more than eight hundred persons have
followed such procedure, we feel that we can de-
part from the usual manner OF advising you con-
cerning funeral arrangements in the role OF
bereaved person and urge you to consider making
arrangements for your own funeral now.
While you may hesitate at first, please remember
that it is move for the good OF your loved ones
and yourself as we'll Your loved ones will be spared
the stress of considering practical details at time
of grief and anxiety
The important practical consideration as far as
you are concerned is that the making in advance Of
funeral arrangements save your estate money.
BY paying now, or by budgeting the cost over the
months or years ahead you can bypass any increased
funeral costs that the future may bring. Also you
will be less inclined to lavishneSs than will your
loved ones after you have gone.
More than eight hundred people have used this
wisdom in making their own funeral arrangements.
We think that this plan will appeal to both your
sense of duty to your loved and your practical
nature.
We will be glad to discuss with you in confidence
further details. Please phone us for an appointment

By-ProdUcts Are important

Everyone has heard the old saying that the meat packers save
all of the pig but the squeal" That's just about literally true. All
manner OF non-edible byproducts are processed and sold. The re
venue they bring to the packers helps give producers a better price
fOr their livestock, and consumers a lower price for their meat.
Any change in the byproduct market situation, as a result, is an
important matter. That has happened in the case of hides. Over re-
cent years their value has sharply declined and this has had a ire
mendous effect on the price packers could afford to pay for steers.
A spokesman for a packing company described what has happen
ed. In 1910 the price of steer hides amounted to about 13h per cent
of the steer. In 1854, the hides value was down to about three per
cent of the live cost In addition, the handling costs have gone up
labor and salt has expanded without a corresponding increase in dom
este demand for leather, and this too has resulted in downward pres
sure on prices. The only bright spot has been an increase in the
sale of hides abroad
The spokesman then urged a threeway approach to the problem.
First, is research in all phases of the hide and leather industry, dir
ected toward improving the quality of the product and finding new
uses for it. Second, is increased advertising and promotion to acquaint
consumers with the superior value of leather for many uses Third,
is to modernize the methods of handling hides. This, it is hoped,
would materially change the picture for the better.

Predict Chones
On Farms
In Future

"The World of Tomorrow
What Will 1t Be Like?" That's
the title of a new publication by
United States, but it's a facinat-
ing question too.
Like the popular songwriter
said, "There1l be some changes
made"
One of these changes, perhaps
the most important, will be in the
size of the population. If recent
trends continue, the Chamber
predicts, our people may increase
by rs million during the next ten
years, and possibly by Sc million
in the next twenty.
Can we feed them all?
Yes. but the job will bring more
than a few changes to American
farms with their dwindling labor
supplies. Tomorrow's farmer,
says the Chamber, will likely be
a big business man with a highly
mechanical factory" turning
out more food and fibre with less
labor. Like today's manufacture
ing plant, tomorrow's farm will
need larger and larger amounts
of capital and equipment to in
crease productivity.
Behind the mechanical farm
and city factory alike, the Cham
Der says, will be phenomenal new

perhaps even new uses for the
sun itself. Electric energy will
thus be cheaper and much more
widely used.
Electric robot machines to NOW

And what about that great

the Chamber, may stretch it to

Dorothy Thompson recently listed the factors that have resulted
in Americas gigantic production and consumption in one kngsZed
sentence: "Great national resources, scientific ingenuity, managerial
knowhow that has concentrated on mass production at high wages
and low profits per unit of production insurng a high level of mass
purchasing power, an internal market of continental proportions, mer-
chandising skils that constantly stimulate new demands and foster
rapid turnover, high rewards for individuals possessing outstanding
managerial capacities, and government policies aimed at keeping this
dynamism operating in some sort of equilibrium between initiation
and defauon."
The American factory, the American farm, and the American

How About
ImmUnizotion?

Diphtheria, Tetanun, Whooping

Multiple combined vaccines are

Diphtheria will not be conquer

Job For The Stotes

The Chamber of Commerce Of the United States finds that
States and local communities can better provide for their school
needs than the federal government can"
The reason for that is that the Federal government has a back
breaking debt and is running in the red, while most of the states are
well in the black. AS of a comparatively recent date, the 48 states
had $15,2 $50 OOO 900 in cash and security holdings against less than
$4,000 100000 Of outstanding debt.
It's high time that federal handouts to the states for schools or
any other purpose were reduced not increased. And it's beyond
argument that federal fiscal problems will never be solved until there
is a resurgence of the traditional American idea that local people and
local government should take care of local needs.
