Insured Risks OF Mennonite Mutual laid
Increases Nearly Half Million During11956

Reflecting continued rising values
on farm properties, the insured risks
of the Mennonite Mutual Aid Society
showed gain of $427 ,955 in 1856,
according to the annual report
mailed to policy holders recently by
DR.. Howard Raid, secretary.
More than nine million dollars in
risks were in force at the end of
1856, with $40 policies in force at
that time, DR.. Raids report showed.
Available funds in 1856 totaled
$59,042, the report shows. After
meeting all debts, including loss
claims and operating expenses,
$23,665 was spent during the year.
Balance on hand at the close of the
1856 operations totaled $35,986.
The ninety-year-old mutual aid So
ciety serves risks in Allen, Putnam
and Hancock counties.
With the exception of two large
barn fires during the year, losses
were relatively few to the mutual's
policyholders.
Changes of policy during the year
included payment of full loss on
livestock claims as compared with rs
per cent in the past. The board also
increased to $500 the amount of
insurance that may be carried or

'I never before realized how much
one depends on a daily Stateside
newspaper for complete news cover

one gets from a radio news broad

Robs Powell
Of His Rights

Washington - Charges that
the Republicans. in coalition with
southern Democrats, are trying
to deprive Negro Congressman
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr, of
New York, of his seniority rights,
were made by Congressman
James Roosevelt, Democrat OF
California, last Wednesday.
In a special press release from
his office, Roosevelt disclosed
that during Wednesdays organ
ization Of the House Committee
on Education and Labor, the
chairman, whom he did not iden-
tify by name. was asked If he
would appoint Powell to one of
five subcommittee chairman
ships, TO be given to the five
senior members on the majority
Democratic side.
Powell had the third highest
seniority" of those on the com
mittee. Roosevelt said.
"Under the generally accept
ed seniority provisions Of the
House" the chairmanships
were due the five seniors.
Roosevelt added.
The chairman answered no
because of difficult circumstanc-
es", Roosevelt said. He did not
specify what the chairman said
the difficult circumstances"
were.
Roosevelt said he then made a
motion. "in order to protect Mr.
Powell's rights, that would have
required the chairman by rule to
appoint the subcommittee chair
manships by seniority.
"The majority Of the Demo
Gratis present, a total OF 3, vot-
ed TO insure Mr.. PoweIl's
chairmanship. Ninete e n, in
cluding each and every one of
the Republicans, voted to de-
prive him of this right"
Roosevelt charged.

and Dixiecrats once again stood
firm, and the lesson should be
obvious to ALL" Roosevelt stated
