tdentomans HEYWOOD ZIEGLER, JR, BUILDS (FLEET OF SHIP MODELS BT WILBORNE HARRELL Since (the days of (the square-rigger and the windjammer, and even further iback into history, the lure of the sea has always (been a compelling instinct in the blood of adventurous and hardy souls. In those days when men went down to the sea in ships, the old time sailing vessels afforded a perfect out let for the urge to see far places, to savor adventure in the raw, feel the tang of salty spray in your face, and listen to the song of the wind as it sings through the rigging. 'Now, the windjammer has all but disappeared from the seas, ana with it has vanished an era. With the square-riggers, too, never to return, have vanished the colorful glamour and romance of the sea. But Heywood Ziegler, Jr., of Eden ton, who has long felt this impelling urge has recaptured the call of the I sea in his own novel and unique way: He goes down to the sea in ship models. A builder of ship models in minia ture, Heywood Ziegler 'has a fleet of vessels of all types, ranging from gal leons to the dragonship of the Vik ing and the rakish, swift felucca of the Mediterranean pirates, to more comparatively modem ibrigs and frig ates. And to bring his collection smartly up to date, there is a small model of the latest type of submarine. Each detail of construction in Zieg ler’s models is painstakingly and slow ly executed by hand. Belaying pins, hatches, stern lanterns and decora tions are carefully hand carved. He does not employ machine tools, tem plates or instruments of any kind in his work, depending entirely on an or dinary pocket knife and the “rock of nrpmOABiLiTY c OAWOMUt.It ALERT, clear-eyed, mu»cle* -ippling under a clear, glowing skin, the trained athlete can be depended on to give the best that is m him.

Son of Mr. and Mr®. H. IS. Ziegler, Heywood has lived moat all of his life here in Edenton, where he is well liked and popular. He comes from an old and long established mortuary family, well known and highly respect ed professionally throughout eastern Carolina. Heywood attended Edenton High School an dig a graduate of Gupton-Jonea College of Mortuary Science of Nashville, Tennessee, where he fitted himself to become a full fledged partner in his father’s busi ness. Tall and lithely slim, he has the .tanned, keen-faced features and bearing of those seafaring * adven turers of whom he is ari ardent ad mirer. Having the same name as one Captain Ziegler, of daring exploits when buccaneers and pirates flourish ed on thie Spanish Main, it is quite within the limits of probability that he has a strain of the adventurer flow ing through his veins.

I speak for thousands of beneficiaries whose financial future has been made more secure by Jefferson Standard’s 'Planned Protection Service’. “In our family, life insurance is as necessary as other fundament J needs of present day living. It is the stabilizer that keeps our long range plan of financial security on an even keel. # * “As a member of Jefferson Standard’s large family of beneficiaries I share the feeling of pride in the progress and growth of our Company.” Quoted jrom our Annual Report Booklet The 44th Annual Report of the Jeffer son Standard Life Insurance Company reflects continued growth and progress. Payments to policyholders and bene ficiaries amounted to $11,775,508 in 1950, bringing total payments since organization of the Company to over $199 million. Assets of the Company now amount to more than $265 million. Total in surance in force exceeds $967 million. Sales of new insurance amounted to over $l3O million in 1950, a new high and a 6% gain over 1949. For the fourteenth consecutive year Jefferson Standard maintained its lead ership among all major life insurance companies in rate of interest earned on invested assets. This very favorable rate enables the Company to pay 4% on dividend accumulations and policy proceeds left with the Company— extra income to policyholders and beneficiaries. J. H.
