Talk Presented
by Albert A. Campbell
HIGH POINT - Harold R. Davis, CLU, was the
key note speaker recently for the High Point
chapter of LUTC Association, A native and former
resident of High Point, Davis now resides in
Durham where he is Assistant Agency Director
for North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance
Company,
Davis was introduced at the breakfast meeting
by J,C. Striklin, District Manager of the High
Point district for North Carolina Mutual Life
Insurance Company,
Speaking to a full house at the Holiday Inn
Downtown, Davis used as his theme: “Keeping
Life In Life Insurance”, His direction was,
"Fitting Life Insurance In Today's Life Style,"
uavis told the audience that, “We must have a
basic appreciation for life insurance, its property
values and how it serves. We must have
knowledge of present and future trends related to
the economy and the attitudes of people. We must
have the desire and determination to improve our
knowledge and skill in life underwriting.,We must
professionalize. We must recognize the necessity
of a healthy self-image to successful
performance,"
Davis went on to say that, “Life insurance
should be one's first type of investment,"
Speaking of the potential of the agent, Davis
said that for w'ell-trained professionals including
those who attain the heights of LUTC and CLU,
the opportunities are great. He said that life
insurance is the greatest business in the world
and the salesman who enters this field will have
goals limited to his own abilities and desires,
Davis congratulated the High Point chapter
whose membership includes agents from all of the
insurance agencies opperating in High Point,
Davis further stated that he had read in
publications of the High Point chapter's activities
and for a long tmie desired to visit one of their
meetings. He brought pleasure from his
company's home office of Manager J.C, Stricklin
and his associates playing active roles in the High
Point chapter,
Davis closed his remarks by admonishing the
members that it was, “Necessary that we have
life underwriters who can appropriately place life
insurance to meet the needs of today's buyers,"

situation considerably," he
continued, pointing out a
number of issues on \\ hich
there can be an immediate
improvement,
A main issue centered
around simple integrity,
and he illustrated his pointy
by asking, “Have you
heard about Captain Nixon
of the Titanic? And how he delusions
told all the passengers not
to worry, as the ship was
only stopping to take on a
load of ice?"
Glossing over the facts
w'ith such calm-in-the-face-
of-calamity is but half of the
approach of the opposition,
it seems. Another very real
question arises from the
apparent “so-what" atti
tude among the die-hards,
“It goes far beyond
Watergate, and again it has
to do with integrity,"
Preyer emphasized. He
drew a round of hearty
laughter as he described a
bumper sticker in Washing
ton that proclaims, “Gur-
ner and Agnew, 1976 -
nobody's perfect,"
“Failing to level with the
American people has been
a failing of this administra
tion," he said. Using the Stacey Johnson
department of Health,
Education and Welfare as
an example, he praised the
administration for their
“good budgeting” in the
areas of cancer and heart
disease, “And they have
made a good show of this.
But money for all basic
research, or for medical
school grants, and the,
entire under-structure is
gone!" he said, reminding
his audience that this is but
a minor representation of
the overall scope of current
“Once again. Democrats
find themselves on the side
of those working hard to
make ends meet,"
Preyer made several
references to an original
song by “Poppa Jirii
Harris", who entertained
with his "One Man Band"
show during the evening,
“November Can Be a
Better Day”,,,its lyrics
proclaiming that the rich
get richer while the rest of
us pay,,," Poppa Jim’s
predictions-in-music were
as a fight song at a college
pep rally. The Democrats
loved him,
Preyer was introduced by
local chairman Frank Wyatt
The arrangements for the
meeting were handled by
Henry Hall Wilson and
Bill Hare, candidate for
U,S, Senate, were among
those present, each making
a short talk.
