INCREASED PREMIUMS UNJUST
The raise of fire insurance prem
iums in North Carolina is one of the
greatest impositions thrust upon the
people of the State.
Thestrong grip that the rich in
surance companies have on the people
should be broken. An intelligent study
and a reasonable understanding of the
principles of insurance will complete
the job.
It is all folly for any insurance com
pany to contend that rates are too
low when the same company has charg
ed for many years and is now charg
ing fifty per cent more in premiums,
for less risk, than other companies
are charging.
The people need to wake up and see
why they are called upon to have to
pay such high premiums for fire in
surance. 1
The insurance companies fix all "thai
rates and the insured has to pay j
tliem because all companies are gov
erned by a rate fixed by their com
bined agencies which make rates that
are altogether unreasonable, certain
ly unreasonable on residential prop
erty.
( ARM OF THANKS
We want to thank every body who!
helped us during, the fire which de
stroyed our one home on May 30, al
so for the many things that have been
given us since. Though our loss was
great, we rejoice to know we have so
many good friends. May the Ixird
bless every one of you. *

HEALTH VIA VEGETABLE LINE
The North Carolina Health Bulletin
for June jirint.s on its front page: _
"All Aboard for the Land of Health,
Via the Vegetable Limited".
This should be welcomed news Tor
North Carolinians because North Car
olina is a vegetable producing coun
try from the ocean on the East to the
sky line on the West, A land that
produces vegetables 365 days each
year except when we leap to one day
more.
There is no reason why the vege
table gardens of North Carolina should
not out run the tin cans of the West
because they furnish a much cheaper
as well as a much better lood. ;
This will help considerably in sol
ving the "hard times problem."
The Slate Board of Health recom
mends vegetable gardens to make
healthier babies, stronger boys and
girls, and older men and women.
Good sense suggests the garden as a
short cut to prosperity.
