Rx BILL WHITLEY

INSU nee. The govern
ment's new flood insurance pro-
gram, enacted into law on the final
day of the Saith Congress, provides
ways and means for you to insure
any personal or real property
against water damage from hurri-
canes and other natural disasters.
The law provides for govern
ment insurance up to $4,000 per
dwelling unit, and a maximum of
$250,0O0 for any one person,
which would include business prop
erty and the like.
The insurance covers damage
from water of all types, but it will
not cover damage from wind. The
coverage was confined to water
damage because private insurance
companies now provide wind insur-
ance.
Sen. w. Kerr Scott, co-author
of the original version of the dis
aster insurance bill, said the new
law would cover "most of the dam
age" that is caused by hurricanes.
He said a large percentage of the
damage of last years hurricanes
was water damage.
PROVISIONS. Details of how
the program will work has been
left to the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency, which will cooper
ate with private insurance firms
in setting the new program in mo-
ton.
"This is an entirely new
pro ram-somethingg that hasn't
been tried BEFORE" Scott said,
"but there is no reason why
it won't be of tremendous
benefit to North Carolina, es-
pecially the coastal areas, if it
is administered properly"
Congress directed the HHFA to
work out a system of premiums
that would come as near as posi-
BILE paying for the program, but
at the same time would be reason
able enough for the average prop
erty owner to afford.
One reason private insurance
companies have stunned disaster
insurance is because they feel that
in order to make it break even, pre-
miums would be too high to en-
courage the sale of policies.
ADVERTISE. Scott feels that
the, success of the new program
will depend to a large extent on
how generally property owners
take part in it.
ats the kind of thing that will
take lot of advertising and pro-
noting to make it work. Certainly,
the people in the hurricane areas
will want it if they know about it.
At the same time, people in all our
river basins would certainly be in
terested in it if they are advised of
its Importance and potential" he
said.
Until the program gets on its
feet, the government will pay the
entire difference between what is
collected in premiums and what is
paid out in losses.
After 1869, the various states
are scheduled to start paying their
share of the cost of the program.

OFFICIALS BACKING
AWAY FROM JOINING
PRIVATE ROAD PLAN
Turnabout in Reports For Road TO
CoroIla Dashes Hopes Of Peo-
pie Needing Highway

High hopes were raised Satur-
day within those people who would
like to see the Duck highway ex-
tended to Corolla, when announce
ment came out in the Raleigh News
and Observer that Governor Hodg-
es had given his nod to the High
way Commission to build such a
road, and such a road is enthusiast
tically favored by District Com
missioner ]. Emmett Winslow Of
Hartford.
But "a hours later, the same
paper came out with long article
in it's "Under the Dome" column,
indicating that both Governor
Hodges and Highway Chairman
wanted to make it plain they were
not getting out on a limb just yet,
on this proposition which has back
ing from private interests, and
might be construed by some as a
means of enlisting state funds in
the development of private prop
erty.
We quote from the News and
Observer as follows:
eff Governor Hodges has his
way, the State will not build a road
to serve the much advertised Cor
ola resort-or any other private
development until it has apprais-
ed all the facts.
His secretary, Ed Rankin, told
Under the Dome emphatically that
reports and rumors to the effect
that the Governor suggested to
highway officials that Corolla
should get a road are completely
false.
The reports and rumors were
pi6:ed up around the State High
way Commissions meeting room
Thursday, and Under the Dome
wrote: Because the Governor is
interested, the Highway Commits
sion yesterday instructed Chair
man A. H. Graham to negotiate
with Corolla's promoter, Ray T.
Adams, on the possibilities of
building a road along the ocean
to Corolla from the end of the
present highway at Duck"
The Governor instructed Rankin
he wanted it made clear that he
was in no way interested in Corolla
and that he had, in fact, questioned
the wisdom of the Highway Com
mission becoming involved.
"Rankin said the Governor, far
from encouraging State participa-
ton, had told Highway Commits
sion representatives:
'"This is matter that will have
to be handled by the Highway
Commission. You will have to as
sumo the responsibility. But l do
raise questions that you ought to
go slowly and examine it care
fully"
"The Governors reaction could
prove extremely embarrassing for
persons who have made statements
in conflict with the statement
Rankin quoted.
"The impression was being
spread that the Governor looked
favorably on Adams venture, and,
as one who recently visited Cor
ola, felt it was both proper and
logical that the State would help
Adams along. That impression,
the Governor directed Rankin to
say, is wholly false.
GAS for the Governors visit to
Corolla, Rankin said the trip was

Indemnificution Law to
Become Effective Next
Month; Jews to Benefit

BONN, (JTA)-The Bundesrat,
upper house of the West German
Parliament, gave unanimous ap-
approval to the amendment to the
Federal Indemnification Law. It
is anticipated that the amend
ment, which provides a thorough
going overhaul of the original
measure, will 60 into effect next
month after publication in the
Official Gazette.
A number of formalities still
remain to be cleared. The effec-
tive date of the amendment is
April l, 1856. The law and the
amendment will together consist
of several hundred articles.
1t is expected that the amend
ment will mean between $780,
100000 and $5OO,OOO,OOO for Jew
ish victims Of Nazism over the
next seven years. The chief Jew
ish beneficiaries will be Jewish
residents of East Germany who
have since left that territory and
who will, in general, receive the
same rights as residents and for
mer residents of West Germany.
Displaced Persons, who formerly
received Is percent less compen-
Sation than German nationals,
will receive the same amount, if
they resided in Germany after the
war. Jewish victims of Nazism
who never resided in Germany
are almost completely disregarded
in the amendment.
All claims recognized previous
ly by a proper indemnification
agency, will become due imme-
diately, except in a number of
special cases. But by next April
even special cases will go into the
category of Immediately payable
claims. The British Ambassador
to Bonn protested to the Federal
Government that provisions for
national victims" of Nazism-
such as Poles-were inadequate.

What vacation does is to return
us to the primitive state of affairs.
We take off clothes for whose

so hard and dress as near Adam

of comforts, we delight in rough

We discover that many of our

our own circle, but in the country

Had the Israelites, emancipated,
remained in Egypt, there would
have been no Ten Command
ments, no David, no Solomon, no
Isaiah, no Judaism, no Christian
ity. Michael Angelo would have
painted, but not the frescoes that
we know.
The Israelites would have been
swallowed up in the Egyptian
melange and the world would
have been poorer. There would
just have been 100000 more EgYp-
tians.
Moses wished not only to eman-
cipate the Israelites from Egyp-
tian bondage, but to make them
free men in a broader sense. They
must start anew. He took them on
vacation to the wilderness. 1t
would be plenty rough there.
Some would grumble. Let us
make no mistake about it. A vaca-
ton is a very pleasant thing. but
the routine of ordinary work can
also enslave-like Egypt. The
routine of work can be a drug
and many find it difficult to get
along without it,,
Though they had complained oi

how to occupy their minds in the

change their ideas of worship. In

In the wilderness they had to dis
