RALEIGH When you
live alone, or thecet just the
two of you, cooking some
times becomes a chore.
It's easy to slack off on
meal planning, even to skip
eating as "to much bother."
Yet good eating habits are

It happens six times a day! An exciting action-filled
ole-time western "shoot-out" on the make believe
streets of Six Gun Junction. Kids of all ages enjoy
roaming through replicas of western stores and jails
plus the lively entertainment at the Red Dog Saloon,
complete with can-can girls and root beer.
Six Gun Junction is one of many popular attractions
on the Mississippi Gulf Coast catering to families. A
twenty-six mile long beach offers every seashore resort

Parents!
Are you worried about John
ny's behavior?
Is he too active? Too quiet?
Does he have difficulty getting
along with other children? Is
he falling behind in school? Is
there a mysterious something
that makes him seemingly dif
ferent from other children?
If you know where to take
him for diagnosis, you should
Uke him there without delay.
You may find that he can be
substantially helped by special
ized treatment and education.
Chances are, he can be trained
to lead a healthy, happy, nor
mal life.
But if you or Johnny's
teacher or doctor don't know
where diagnosis and Special
Education are available, you
should know about the massive
effort the U.S. Government has
launched to give you just this
information. It's all very
simple—and it's free. Just write

American Mofors to Build MISI Vehicles
The largest military contract since the acquisition of Jeep Corporation a year
ago has been awarded to American Motors' General Products Division, which will
build more than 34,000 of these quarter ton military trucks for the U. S. Army.
Value of the contract is more than $lO5 million. Known as the M151A2, the new
Army workhorse offers many advantages over the original Jeep of World War II
—including a new rear suspension system, energy-absorbing steering wheel and
new brake system.

Your letter will be processed
by the National Special Educa
tion Information Center estab
lished by the Bureau of Educa
tion for the Handicapped of
the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Assembled at this center is
information on facilities and
teaching programs for handi
capped children painstakingly
gathered from all over the
nation. Although it has been
functioning only a short time,
the Center, with the aid of a
computer, is already answering
more than a thousand inquiries
each week from parents,
teachers, doctors and friends of
handicapped children.
An estimated 15% of the
Nation's children are suffering
from a handicap. In addition to
the humanitarian aspect of this
government effort, those in
charge point out that Special
Education can benefit this
country—not to mention the
child and the parents—in dol
lars and cents. For example, if
bine meat with potatoes and
a vegetable, cooked rice, or
macaroni. Add canned con
densed soup or gravy. Cook
on top «f range or in the
oven.
For dessert, keep it simple.
Fruit, ice cream, and instant
puddings are good to eat and
good for you.
For someone who eats
alone, prepared mixes may
be more economical than
those you make from
"scratch." It's easy then to
take the amount you need and
keep the rest in a closed con
tainer.
Frozen vegetables are eco
nomical for the same reason.
You can fix just the amount
you will eat and keep the rest
in the freezer for another day.
When you buy hamburger,
make It into patties. Place
plastic wrap between each
patty and freeze. Then you
can thaw only enough for one
meal.
Try a new "convenience"
food occasionally and see if it
is a good buy for you.
Prepare larger quantities of
food that freeze well, and
freeze some for another day.
For quick salads - lettuce
wedges, sliced tomatoes or
canned fruit with cottage
cheese are possibilities.
Condensed cheese and
mushroom soups are great for
sauces.
a severely handicapped child
can be given special training

contribute $120,000 to the
economy. But if he has to
spend his entire life in a public
institution, he will cost the
taxpayers from $150,000 to
$200,000!
More than 300,000 addi

teach the handicapped. To en
courage high school and college
students and others to choose
Special Education as a career,
the U.S. Office of Education is
allocating $30,000,000 this
school year in grants and loans
to qualified students. In
addition, the Bureau can advise
on help available from state
and local governments, and
from colleges and private
sources as well.

Tips On Upholstery Care
Time spent keeping uphol
stered furniture clean today
will pay dividends in longer
life and better looks. Uphol
stered furniture represents a
substantial investment, and it
merits planned and careful
care. Soil and stain unattend
ed soon become difficult, if
not impossible, to remove.
Here are some tips for keep
ing your upholstered furniture
in like new condition:
CARE BEGINS BEFORE
YOU BUY . . . Before you buy
any upholstered furniture, ask
YOUR UK INSURANCE
'Minor' Health Problems
Can Affect Life Expectancy
For Immediate Release
Suppose you apply for life in
surance and discover that you
are one of the few people who
must pay a higher premium
because of impaired health.
About one out of 20 applicants
for "ordinary" policies has to
face this unpleasant fact, ac
cording to an Institute of Life
insurance study.
Sometimes the news comes as
a complete surprise. You may
have had no suspicion that your
health was less than perfect.
Or you may have been aware
of your condition, but not have
realized that it could affect your
life expectancy.
No Cause For Alarm
In either case, the extra pre
mium is likely no real cause for
alarm. If your condition was not
a matter of serious concern be
fore you were charged the
higher premium, the chances
are that your own doctor will
tell you the impairment is a
minor one and you are basically
in good health.
Nor does this indicate any
fundamental disagreement be
tween your own doctor and the
life insurance company. It's
merely a difference in point of
view. Your own doctor treats
you as an individual, while a
life insurance physician bases
his analysis on statistics cover
ing large numbers of people.
If you were to ask your doctor
how long you had to live, he
would tell you that nobody can
point a finger at a man and say
when he will die. And your doc
tor would be absolutely right. _
40 Plus 31 Years
Actuaries can predict with
considerable accuracy that all
40-year-old men have an aver
age of 31 more years to live.
And experience among large
numbers of 40-year-old men
with a certain health impair
ment may show that their aver
age life expectancy is reduced
to 28 years.
But no average applies to any
particular individual. With or
without the impairment, some
40-year-old men will not live
another 28 years, and many
others will live longer than 31
more years.
So doctors in the life insur
ance business do not try to pre
dict how long you will live. They
merely see where you fit into
appropriate groups for which
average life expectancy and
mortality rates are calculated.
Difference in Premiums
Life insurance premiums are
based on mortality rates, rather
than life expectancy. But, gen
erally speaking, a group of
people with a life expectancy of
28 years would have to be
charged a higher premium than
a group with a life expectancy
of 31 years. That's because, with
the former group, the life com
pany would have an average of
three fewer years in which to
accumulate enough money to
pay all claims.
All insurance involves a group
of people sharing a common
risk. And even a small differ
ence in the risk can affect their
premiums.
The takeoff noise of the U.S.
SST over the community will
be about half as annoying as
intercontinental range jets in
the present fleets, and will
meet the present FAA certifi
cation requirement tor the lat
est subsonic jets. The approach
noise will also be about half
as annoying. With the present
objective, "sideline noise" will
not be noticeably different
than the new subsonic Jet
rule, and our engineers have
eight more years to improve
on that.

yourself, "How will it wear
and clean?" Most fabrics used
today are blends of different
yarns. Durability and shrink
age cannot be determined for
every blend on the market and
do not correspond with the
characteristics of fabrics rat
ed individually. Generally,
tighter fabric weaves" indicate
quality and give longer wear.
ROUTINE UPHOLSTERY
CARE .... Vacuum once a
week and reverse cushions.
Keep furniture away from
direct sunlight.
For a simple illustration of
this, consider lire insurance on
two groups of 1,000 houses—all
alike, except that one group has
slate roofs and the other group
has shingle roofs.
Houses . . . And Houses
Assume that each house in both
groups is insured for SIO,OOO
and that past experience indi
cates one slate-roofed house and
two shingle-roofed houses will
burn down during the year.
Leaving out all other factors
that affect premiums, owners of
the slate-roofed houses would
have to be charged $lO apiece
in order to pay SIO,OOO to the
one man whose house burns
down. But owners of the shingle
roofed houses would have to be
charged S2O each in order to
pay SIO,OOO apiece to owners of
the two houses that would burn
down.
Owners of the shingle-roofed|
houses would have to pay twice
as much for the same protection
as owners of the slate-roofed
houses.
Whether there were 999 or 998
houses left in each group might
seem trivial, but it would make
a big difference to fire insurance
underwriters—and, of course, to
the people whose houses burned
down.
It is much the same with life
insurance. An impairment that
might not be significant to your
own doctor may be quite signifi
cant to a life insurance physi
cian and could affect your pre
miums.

Annuity Payments
Are on the Rise in 70
For Immediate Release
Annuity payments to Ameri
can families have risen by more
than 13 per cent during the first
quarter of this year, compared
to the same period in 1969, re
ports the Institute of Life In
surance.
More than $456 million was
paid out by life insurance com
panies across the nation under
annuity contracts. This was an
increase of (53 million.
Most annuities are made
available to employees by the
companies for which they work
to provide a pension after re
tirement. However, many peo
ple also purchase annuities on
an individual basis to guarantee
themselves a regular lifetime
income after retirement.
Payments for retired employ
ees under group annuity plans
accounted for $316 million of
the first-quarter benefits in 1970,
up 19 per cent over the same
period in 1969.
Individual annuity payments
also climbed, totaling $l4O mil
lio within the first three months
of this year, compared to $136
million for the same period in
1969.
