We're Mighty
Embarrassed

The Sentinel erred last
week when it advised read
ers to set their clocks BACK
one hour upon retiring April
"a in order to comply with
Daylight Saving Time.
Of course, as several read
ers have pointed out, you
should ADVANCE the clock
one hour. You'll lose one
hours sleep that night, but
gain one additional hour of
sunlight the next day. Our
face is crimson.
We offer this catch phrase
to help you-and us-to re-
member which to do in the
future: Spring FORWARD,

it to the library for an indefi-

terest to readers.
Mrs. Miller said she hopes in
dividuals or organizations will
donate the cost of filming a
year of the Sentinel, during any
period. The cost is less than
$40, she said, but gift can be of
inestimable value for genera
lions of readers.
Copies of the Sentinel were
filmed with permission of the
Enoch Pratt Free Library, Balti-
more, which owns the most COM
plete set of the newspapers edi-
lions.
The SentinePs 40-year span
now on film should be of great
interest to students of the Civil
War. And, as Mrs. Miller points
out, current controversies about
new schools, taxes, teachers sal
aries, ETC., were just as much a
part of the Sentinel in the 1905
as they are today.
For instance, the April 7, 1860,
issue reported that Messers.
Young, Carter and Farquhar of
the new board of school COM
missioners (Mr. Farquhar was
the grandfather of Roger
Brooke Farquhar, present Sen
tinel EDITOR met but conducted
no business because the full
board was not in attendance.
The Sentinel editorialized with
the hope that, "every member
will be present and give this
system of primary schools,
about to be inaugurated in this
county, the full benefit of his
best Judgment and undivided at
tention -"
The Sentinel pointed out in a
later edition that many were
opposed to the new school bill,
land to the entire system of pri-
mary education"
Thirty schools were needed, at
a cost of $500 each, and each
teacher was to be paid $500 a
year.
And for those who might have
wondered at the age of the mag
nificent elm trees on the court
house lawn, Rockville, the April
10, 1860 Sentinel, gives a clue:
1.-THE young trees in the square
are beginning to put forth foil
age and the turf is looking
green and luxuriant."

Competition

Rapid expansion and stif
competition dominated the re-
tail drug business in the Wash
ington area during 1859 and
are expected to intensity this
year.
Typical of the trend, Peoples
Drug Stores, Inc. plans 80 new
large self-service drug stores in
1860, more than half of them
in Metropolitan Washington. It
completed 13 in 1859 along with
a new Office building which
freed important additional
warehouse space.
Drug Fair, a rapidly growing
competitor, plans 18 more large
outlets in the area, with IL to
be opened in rapid succession
Of two-to-three-week intervals.
1t also plans a large distribution
center at an undiscloSed loca-
ton. 1t completed nine new
Drug Fairs in the last year.
George B. Burrus, Peoples
Drug president, said rapid area
growth and the increase in COM
pany stores, plus aggressive
merchandising plans, has pro-
duced a record advertising
budget for 1860 and predicted
a new sales record for his
company.

The individual buyer, faced
with a choice of many different
forms of policies, will need to
exercise careful and prudent
judgement to be sure that he
is not sacrificing essential pro-
lection for the sake of q reduced
premium" he warned.
Turning Point Seen
Mr.. Anderson said the differ
ence in premium rates among
companies will tend to diminish
as the new rating plans go into
effect.
The casualty. fire and marine
insurance industry as a whole
had several very difficult years
in the later 1950S, but there
are signs that the underwriting
situation has turned the corner,
he said.
Some old familiar problems
will continue, such as imitation
with its effect on insurable prop
erty values, high awards in
third-party injury and damage
cases and the ever present need
to prevent or minimize losses
and accidents.
New problems will arise such
as contamination of goods by
nuclear energy incident or by
cancer inducing substances.
Zoning regulations recently
adopted in the District will
place some business and prop

need for demolition coverage to

Insurance Records Set,
Aqents Face Problems

Insurance sales records were
set in this area in 1859 and are
expected to continue this year,
but stiff competition and un-
solved problems are expected to
keep agents on their toes.
Leaders in both the life in
Surance and property and
casualty underwriting fields ex-
pressed deep concern over the
continued threat of imitation at
the year end.
They also pointed to a multi
plicity Of new types Of policies
commanding the serious atten-
ton of both agents and custom
ers. So-called package deals
covering varied forms of insur-
ance and proposed merit rating
plans for auto drivers were
among the new proposals, which
customers were urged to ex-
anime carefully before purchas-
ing. Behind the new forms was
the pressure of competition.
William R. Tooker, president
Of the District Life Underwriters
Association, reported area life
insurance sales kept pace with
q rise which pushed national
sales Of ordinary life insurance
to a record of $50.5 billion in
the year. gain of 6 per cent,
and all life insurance sales to
$685. billion.
The national total of life in
surance in force at the year
end was estimated at around
1894 billion, he said.
d. C. Increase Shown
Preliminary data from the Life
Insurance Agency Management
Association indicated ordinary
life insurance sales in the Dis
trict Of Columbia totaled
$500, ,503,00 for IL months of
1859 and would exceed 1922
million for all of the year.
Monthly average sales for IL
months ended November 80
were 7 per cent above a year
earlier.
Industry leaders have pre-
dicted a decade of continued ex-
pansion and prosperity, marred
only by the threat of imitation"
said Mr.. Tooker, who is a
chartered life underwater and
general agent here for Berk-
shire Life Insurance Co.
THE life insurance industry
must continue its efforts to
curb imitation. including check
ing the trend toward unre-
strained Government spending"
he added. There must be a
clearer understanding Of the
relationship between saving and
spending. as they must be in
proper proportion for economic
growth"
From many segments of the
business and political scene, we
hear predictions of full employ
ment, a large labor force, a vast
increase in discretionary spend
ing power, the motivation to
save for better homes, q more
adequate education for our
people" The belief in future
prosperity and a higher stand
ard Of living undoubtedly will
stimulate the life insurance
business. he added. i
