State offic ials marked the anniversary by; * Ordering a 27.6 per cent reduction in 1972 premium costs for compulsory bodily-injury and loss-of-earnings cov erage. The rates already had been cut 15 per cent when the plan was begun in January 1971. * Proposing that in-surors make jfyrther 27.6 per cent cut in 1972. * Announcing that the number of Dodily-injury claims has dropped 30 per |cent and the average payment is 60 per pent in the volume of small “nuisance” claims that insurers often pay without firgument to avoid litigation. * Indicating that collision and prop- rty-damage insurance will I)e put on a ao-fault basis in 1972. So reported Harris Smith (from pston) in the current issue of The tional .Observer. rho-Mnsurance carriers, those com- anies which pay the claims bills, are Jning the forces in support of “not uTt”. The Herald has commented prev- “^ly on the American Fore group's ap- , to 'North Carolinians to urge their Jlators to make North Carolina a I'ault” state.

Gentleman Retires Lindsay W. Dail has been selling ad vertising for the Shelby Daily Star for 42 years and has officially retired. Happily, he’ll still be about in an advisory capacity. Mr. Dail, through the years, has been an advertising man’s advertising man and an advertiseFs advertising man, in the latter uole disdaining high pressure sales methods and conscien tiously seeking to aid his customers in getting the absolute most return from fctheir advertising dollar.

He is gambling he can prove the other driver was at fault and that the other driver has insurance or can otherwise be made re.sponsihle for the accident.” Under the sub-title “No-Fault and You”, Aetna concludes; The present automobile insui’ance .system, by selecting “winners” and “los- ers” among accident victims falls far short of the universal protection requir ed for users of a mass carrier, which is what the auto has become. No-fault insurance meets society’s obligation to accident victims and theii’ families. By automatically paying medi cal, hospital and rehabilitation costs and compensating lost income, no-fault in surance provides universal protection for those using a universal means of transportation. Instead of paying premiums to pro tect yourself against a claim on a law- •suit, you pay premiums to cover ex penses incurred by you and others in your car should you have an accident. No-fault works. It is working in Massachusetts. It can work in your state, too. If you agree, let your state legisla tors or other government officials know that you want an auto insurance sys tem that protects everyone—No-Fault auto insurance. Amen. A Big Year It’s been well-known all along that 1972 is a BIG election year. Those who may have been doubters can take a look at events of the past week and realize that 1972, a BIG elec tion year, has arrived. In recent days: Senators Ed Muskie, George McGov ern, and Vance Hartke made it official, as d'd Mayor John Lindsay, that they Wci.Tt to be the Democratic standard- bearer of ’72. President Richard Nixon all but made it official that he likes the White House, wants to release for another four years, and rather likes his sometime ma ligned Number 2, Vice-President Spiro Agnew. A presidential election year is al ways a big political year in North Caro lina for the added reason that North Carolina elects, at the same time, its governor, lieutenant - governor, and members of the council of state. Adding more zest in Tar Heel coun try this year is: 1) a United States Sen ator is to be elected apd 2) North Caro lina will hold presidential primaries for the first time. C the Tar Heel scene, a couple more Democratic candidates for govern or would equal the modem day record of 1940 when seven Democrats vied for the Democratic flag, and, whatta-ya- know, It appears the GOP 'Tar Heels will have a primary race for governor for the second consecutive quadrennium. And there’s the ninth congressional district business. State Representative Jim Beatty has made it official. He is a Democratic candidate in the Mecklen- burg-Iredell-Lincoln district. In three election.s in Mecklenburg Genial Jim Vt f' C eVt/MVm nen a Beatty has shown he is as adept at run ning for public office as at running the mile on the United States Olympic team. The likelihood is that Mr. Beatty will re turn this district to the Democrats after a 20-year drought, retiring Representa tive Charles R. Jonas being the .fellow who cut off the Democratic water sup ply. Interesting spring upcoming, yes?
