Gold Undecided on Increasing Rates cf Auto Insurance RALEIGH AP — Insurance Commissioner Charles F.

The proposal, which would cost motorists upwards of five million dollars amiually, was described Thursday as extreme ly conservative by an insur ance witness at a hearing before : Gold. C. H. Graves of Hempstead, j N. Y., explained he based his view on the fact that the rate request was based on two years of loss experience with each year equally weighted. The first proposal submitted by the North Carolina Automo bile Rate Administrative Office was based on 1953 loss experi ence alone, and it called for a 19.9 per cent increase. Gold re jected this request, mainly be cause it was based on loss ex perience for only one year, in stead of the customary formula of two years’ experience.

What are you buying your loved one—a cigar that explodes with a bang, or a length of hemp rope tied in a hangman’s noose? There was a time when Valen tine’s Day was an occasion of sweet remembrance and lovers of all kinds exchanged vows and small tokens of affection. Gifts of candy, wine or a dozen roses lent a sentimental touch. A boy would save his pennies for days or even weeks to buy his iLxth-grade sweetheart—or the one ne d like to be his sweetheart—a big lacy valentine resplendent with rod ribbons and rosy cupids firing love arrows in all directions. HiUbillyGiri Turns to Glamor By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-TV Writer HOLLYWOOD AP — Folks back on the farm would hardly recognize Judy Canova. She's gone glamorous. The onetime hillbilly quee:'. sports a stylish blonde coiffur' ;hat symbolizes her new attitud toward Ufe. After a period of in activity, she’s perking up her career again. “This has happened to me a- gain and again,” she said. “I get times when I just like being lazy. Then I get started working again, and I get going like crazy.” What brought her back to work was her first film role in three years. Samuel Goldwyn Jr. sug gested she do a role in “Huckle berry Finn.” It wasn’t a big role, but it involved an impor tant comedy sequence with Huck played by Eddie Hodges. “It’s what they call a cameo role,” she said. “That’s the word they use to soothe an actor’s ego when the role ain’t so big.” She agreed to do the part largely at the request of her two daughters, 15, and 6. Now Judy’s career is popping in all direc tions. She is working on a sing ing act she may take to Las Vegas and state fairs. She sing"- opera as well as Ozark. She ma accept offers to play in summer theaters. And she has a situa tion comedy TV pilot that is at tracting interest. Judy’s return is not due to financial necessity, she is happy to say. “I don’t have to work,” she said, “Fortunately, I put the money away when it was coming in.” Trial Examiner Asks That C!i:irges Be Dismissed WASHINGTON AP — A trial examiner for the National Labor Relations Board ordered today that unfair labor practices charges against Overnite Transportation Co. of Asheville, N.C., be dis missed.

He noted that local 55 had not taken exception to an earlier recommendation that the complaint De aioinissed for this reason. That’s all changed now. Valen tine’s Day is acquiring a vinegar flavor, complete with a dash of hemlock and arsenic. Yep, it has become a mixture of April Fool’s Day, Friday the 13th, and Insult Your Neighbor Day. Children used to exchange comic penny valentines, or mail them anonymously to a teacher. Now the grown-ups have taken up that innocent custom and made of it something downright grisly. The humor often is no longer funny. You get a greeting card that says, “Do me a favor for Valen tine.” and when you turn the page you read: “DROP DEAD!” Wives often complain they are the forgotten people at Valentine bo, mister, if you want to sur prise your wife and make a friend of her forever, why not give her a night out on the town? If you approach the subject in the right way, she’ll be glad to dig into the family piggy bank and lend you the money. But you have to be careful. I heard of one thoughtful husband who took his wife oat to dinner o i Valentine’s day. While the waiter was pouring the champagne, the husband noted tlie bags undir fii3 dear mate’s eyes.
