Group Life Owned ' Now 3!4 Times Pre-War Total $11,900,000,000 Increase In Family Protection 3m This Source e insurance was added by U. S. workers last year in greater vol ume than in any previous year, the Institute of Life Insurance reports. With purchases of new group life insurance of $8,700,000,000 and addi tions to old group plans exceeding $3,- 000,000,000, the net increase in the year in total group life insurance out standing was $11,900,000,000. Total group life protection in force on January 1 is estimated at $79,700,- 000,000. which is three and one-half times the total at the end of World War I. More than of family protection has been added through group insurance in the eight years since the war’s end. “This group protection affords the American people a substantial base on which to build a omre adequate pro gram of family protection through in dividual policies,” the Institute said. The number of individual certifi cates of group life protection rose to an estimated 39,700,000 at the start of this year, up more than 5,000.000 in the past year and nearly 27,000,000 more than at the end of 1945. Death claims paid to families of group life policyholders in 1953 in creased to $447,122,000 under 200,036 certificates. Corresponding figures for the previous year were $386,817,000 under 176,399 certificates. In 1945, such claims totaled $171,155,000, under 92,488 certificates. Os last year’s new group life in surance contracts set up, the greater l part was in regular employer-employe groups, which accounted for $6,600,-1 000,000 in the year. The balance of the new group protection, an estimat ed $2,100,000,000 was group credit life insurance, a type of protection which covers borrowers through their lending institutions for the unpaid balance of loans at time of death. The 1953 purchases of new group life plans were the greatest of any year since this type of protection I started and were more than six! times what they were in 1945. Group life insurance now accounts for more than one-fourth of all life insurance outstanding in the country. ; This group protection, designed by emplojjijupmployee groups to replace the w’Xr's income for a time after death tide his family over, now covers over half of the non-agricultur al, non-government work force of the nation. Will You Be Wearing: New Spring- Colors If you’ve been leafing through the latest women’s magazines or if you’ve made a trip to town recently, you have probably .noticed the colors be ing featured this spring—-the vermil lions, flamings, and other flame-col ored shades. You have probably been wondering too, if you’ll be able to wear some of these brighter colors effectively. Mary Em Lee, State College extension spe cialist, suggests choosing colors which ji DEPENDABILITY . O ©AVKW4M.

If, on the oth ler hand, you are cool-skinned, delicate, blue-eyes, you will find the soft blues and greys more suitable. | In choosing a hue, be certain to have a harmony of warmth or coolness k between your own personal coloring and your costume. Here’s another color not? to consid er. Had you noticed hrw the blues and purple-blues always seem to be cool, but how there is a wide variety of ; warmth anl coolness in reds ? The , red-oranges—like the new spring col ors—are definitely warm; the blue reds toward the cooler range?

Sometimes It’s Good Manners To Point I I jggj| j| Most motor accidents last year were directly due to discourtesy —reckless driving, excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, bulling through without the right-of-way, cutting in ahead, passing on curves or hills, passing on the wrong side, failing to sig nal, or signalling improperly. In other wordsfi accidents don’t just “happen”—accidents are caused. You’re the driver who causes accidents, if you’re a driver who leaves your manners on the sidewalk when you get into your car. The man who wouldn’t think of standing in line at a movie theater bellowing at the top of his voice because the line doesn’t move faster—is the same man who leans on his horn, fraying all the tem pers within earshot, and putting other drivers into an accident-caus ing mood. And that same man will belligerently expect his car to respond to every emergency, even when not kept in top operating condition. | The man who handles the make of car you drive can keep it in per fect operating shape—if you ask him to—but only YOU can keep YOUR driving manners polished.—North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles.
