Yes, this little girl's father
made a mistake—a careless,
thoughtless mistake—when he
neglected to bring hi' Insurance
program up to dole. He failed
to recognize the actual value
of his home and household
effects.-Result: A family
broken, a home destroyed,
and a staggering loss when a
$20,000 fire was "covered" by $12,000 worth
of insurance. Don't let this happen to YOUR family.

"Bunco Squad" Is
Expose oi Racket
Featuring Robert Sterling, Joan
Dixon and Ricardo Cortez, RKO
Radio’s "Bunco Squad" is a timely
story based on the activities of
bunco racketeers who annually
fleece the public out of an esti
mated $200,000,000.
Sterling, as head of the police
bunco squad, learns that a gang
of crooks have organized a phony
cult for the sole purpose of rob
bing a Mrs. Royce, a widow and
mother of a dead war hero, of her
fortune of $2,000,000. The credu
lous woman attends a fake seance
staged by the swindlers and as a
result of "messages’ received
from her dead son, wills her for
tune to the cult.
An attempt is made on Sterl
ing's life and the widow's secre
tary is ki 1 leci_ by the racketeers as
the police net is tightened around
them Not, however, until Ster
ling gets Dante, the famous ,magi
cian, to stage a fake seance which
threatens to draw Mrs. Royce
away from the cult are the crooks
brought out into the open. From
then on events move to a swift
;*id thrilling climax.
Bracketed with the feature
players i£ Dante, who portrays
himself. In support are Douglas
Fowley, Elisabeth Risdon, Mar
guerite Churchill, John Kellogg
and Bernadene Hayes. Herbert
I. Leeds directed the production
by Lewis 'J. Rachmil, and the
screenplay, suggested by a story
by Reginald Taviner, was writ
ten by George Callahan.
"Bunco Squad" will be playing
at the Vieear Theatre Friday and
Saturday.
Donald O'Connor looks unhappy, but most Ill's would consider him
the luckiest soldier in the Pacific when lovely Patricia Mediua wraps
her arnu around him. She is unable, however, to win his affection!

Think twice today
when you buy a truck!
Tiivr new truck you're considering may
have to last a long time. So you'll be
wise to look at a GMO for these impor
tant reasons:
GMC’s are built by the world’s largest
exclusive manufacturer of commetcial
vehicles—with the broadest truck engi
neering experience.
GMtl’s are real truclfs. Engine, transmis
sion and frame, as well as cab and axles,
are all specially truck-mbit to give you
longer service.
GMC truck-built engines have high horse
power with higher sustained torque—
greater pulling power, they are built to
give extra years of service with less main
tenance.
Bet a real truck /
CMC extra-value features include Syn
chro-Mesh transmission,'Tocco-hardened
crankshaft, full-pressure lubrication, re
circulating hall-hearing steering gear, air
plane-type bearings and Lifetime Weath
ersealed cabs as standard equipment on *
practically all models from Vi ton up.
That's why more truckers are buying
GMC's today than ever before—experience
panes them hest in the iong haul!
