1t makes good sense to review
your insurance program periodical
ly and revise it when your family
circumstances change.
AS your protection needs in
crease, you may need to augment
your. insurance coverage. But if
your financial responsibilities have
lessened, you may want to consid-
er reducing your insurance, says
Katie Thomas, Kent County Home
Demonstration Agent.
If you want to stop paying pre-
miums on life insurance, your
policies offer you certain choices
called settlement options. After
you have accumulated cash re
serve called "cash value in a
policy, these are the usual choices
available to you, she reports.
1. You can take the cash sur
render value of your policy in a
lump sum.
2. BY surrendering the policy
and leaving its cash value with the
company, you may select an i n
come plan from those Offered by
the company. This means, of
course, that you no longer have the
life insurance protection which the
policy previously provided.
3. You can plan your policy on
a paid-up basis for a lower face
value. For example, a whole life
policy purchased at age So can be
changed when you reach 65 to a
paid up policy of about 20 percent
of it's original face value. You pay
no more premiums, and your ben
eficiary receives this lesser amount
when you die.
A. You can elect extended in
surance. Again, you pay no further
premiums but the insurance pro-
lection, instead of being reduced,
is continued at the face value of
your policy for a specified number
of years. At the end of the period,
all protection would cease.
Examine your policies to find out
what choices are available and de-
sirable, to you and your family.

Wifchcruff Has Had
Mony Facets In Sfofe

The approach of Halloween
with it's tales of ghosts and goblins
for the very young, serves to re-
call that many of Delaware's early
settlers, like their kinfolk else
where in the American Colonies,
believed, in varying dgrees, in
witchcraft, and even practiced
some unusual customs to ward Off
evil advises the Delaware ST e
Development Department.
AS an example of this, the state
information agency notes that 1T
was once the custom in this area
to place a psalm book beneath the
head of newly born child to sup
posedly prevent it's being exchang-
ed for an elf child. by witches.
Another early Delaware custom
was to cut crosses into broom
handles so that witches could not
ride on them. A still stranger GUS
tom was to feed cattle with crumbs
from each course of a meal n
Christmas Day to protect the ami
mails against witchcraft.
According to some sources,
witches" even gave Johan Printz,
the third Swedish governor OF Del
aware, the goose pimples". A l.
though thought of hardbitten war
rior, Printz' blood reputedly n
cold when he accused Karin, a
Finnish woman, of "witchery"
Karin and her husband, who had
come to Delaware with the Swedes
were subsequently banished from
the main settlements of New Swed-
en-, and their farm repeatedly was
sized by the governor.
Even in the time of William
Penn, a woman, "of common fame
being a witch, was hailed into
court on charges of bewitching her
neighbors' possessions, perhaps
their livestock.
In more recent times, notes the
Development Department, witches
have obviously been less in evid-
ence and have only ben seen
in the fertile minds of m /
youngsters w h o imaginatiOns
have been stirred with tales read
or told to them by older folks al

In Park Land Use

Delaware ranked 11th nationally
in the use of State and National
park land during 1860 with 157
visits per acre of available land.
More than $4,000 visits were made
to the States 3,745 acres of park
land, according to Gerlad F.
Vaughn, US. Department of A g.
riculture economist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware. There are no ma
tional parks in the state.
Citing data from Statistical Alb
stracts of the United States, Vau-
ghn reveals that Rhode Island led
the states with 306 visits per acre
of state and national park land.
Wisconsin was second with 279
visits per acre followed by Mary
land 271, Iowa 230, New Jersey,
222, Connecticut 205, Ohio, 203,
Arkansas, 100, Oklahoma, IT'S, Il
linois, $50, and Delaware 157. Penn
sylvania ranked 18th, with 8
visits per acre. Alaska was last,
with less than one .26 visit per
acres. The national average was Is
visits per acre.
These figures although they o
not include municipal and county
parks can be interpreted as a
rough indication of states needing
additional public recreation areas,
Vaughn notes. He explains t h t
states with relatively low num-
ber of visits per acre may have
sufficient existing park acreage to
satisfy present demands for out
door facilities for such activities
as camping, boating, and swim
ing. However, those with a rela-
lively high number of visits per
acre may have a pressing need for
more park land.
