We are glad we’re able to give Smithville
beet service available to meet its telepr
needs, today and tomorrow.
Sunday at 1:01 a.m. the city’s telephone
system was changed from manual to dial oper-
ation. Although the change was made smoothly,
in a matter of minutes, many months of work
by hundreds of telephone people were required
to make your dial system possible.

Q My husband had three $5,000
policies and I have received only
$14,000 in payment of his death
claim. Instead of the full $15,000.
Could you explain why thia was
reduced?
A. Undoubtedly, your late boa-
band had borrowed on his life
insurance, either to pay premiums
er for some emergency need.

Q. I am uninsurable, but am
♦ery much sold on the value of life
insurance as a plan for accumu-
lating money, aa well as death
protection. What I would particu-
larly Ilka is tome such plan to
accumulate liquid assets for the
day I die. la there any way I can
do this?
A. There are several things yen
can do. Yeo ean put ysur money
into the purchase sf a deferred
annuity or pure retirement In-
come plan, withoot death protec-
tion. This would accumulate liquid
assets st s very attractive rate.
Or, you could purchase life in-
surance on other members tt
your family. Undoubtedly, there
are insurable Interesto that have
net been adequately insured fur
them. Yea do not give your family
picture, but if you have children,
there is special need for insurance
on your wife, as her death would
leave a large increase In flnancial
responsibility. And such a policy
would accumulate cash values
Immediately available, in case of
your death. Policies on the lives
of the children would also be a
considerstion, both to start them
out on insurance planning and
thrift at an early age and to ac-
cumulate liquid assets. If you do
not have children, you would prob-
ably have an interest in your
wife's purchasing a retirement
Income plan for herself. But be-
fore all of this, check up on your-
self. Perhaps you are now Insur-
able, even though at an extra
premium. Underwriting regula-
tions are in a continuous process

Any outstanding psUcy loans are

is paid. Ysu meat have received

A writer, speaking of condi-
tions in his part of the country,
says. “Of course, the old evange-
lism is dead?’
Indeed, what did it die of? Who
killed it? Is sin dead? is death
dead? Is eternity dead? Is God,
and the Word of God dead?
Evangelism may be dead, but
is it not then time there was a
resurrection of the dead? Does it
put an end to sin, to say nothing
any more about it? To nurse un-
der the blanket the viper that
will strike us down? Evangelism
was dead in Sodom and Gomor-
rah; it was dead at the feast of
! Belshazzar; it was dead in the
4\ Sanhedrin that crucified the Sav-
