Payments pf Van regular 1961 dividend, payments normally are spread av ler a full 12-imonths, .this yeair the payments were paid ait am accet iemated rate by order of the Presi dent as a stimulus to the national economy. Mr. Gleason said that both the regular and the sipeoial dividends are primarily a refund to the vet eran-,policyholders of part of their premium payments.

This connecting link to the -great Metropolitan area, of Neiw York makes it necessary for advance planning if North Carolina Is to pope with with -the situation, Dr. ©avis told the board. She said there is a better than fair chance thait all of the towns working together 'along the pro posed route could get something going immediately toward taking care of thait traffic when it begins |to flood into our state. Dr. 'Davos said that Secretory o& Commerce Luther Hodges is very familiar with this plan and will support it a§ head of the depart ment whach supervises the Federal Bureau of Roads.
