He referred to a study of wid
owhood prepared jointly by tlie
Life Underwriter Training C:un-
dl and the Lite Insurance Agency
.Management A.ssijciation. ‘ This
study clearly indicates that mo.st
families in America are simply
not well enough pT-oonrod for
the financial difficulty that
strikes with the death of the
breadwinner.
“We in the life insurance busi
ness must do a better job of pro
vidi.ng family financial counsel
ing fer our customers,” he add
ed. “As a result of this study of
widowhood, I believe many life
insurance companies will respond
with counseling programs and
with a renewed effort to provide
programmed protection," he said.
Hipp said that the recent wid
.twhood study revealed that most '
families are "woefully under-!
protected.” The average life in- '
surance carried by a male head- i
of-household in the southeast |
will provide for his family’s
needs for less than two years aft-^
