A Go-and-See

The Army is playing it safe. Little stories get around about! what's wrong in the camps. | Out at Camp McCoy in Wis-| consin, the Army is playing it wide open. It is flying in people from Indianapolis and Evansville to take a look for themselves. The idea is to show that { Army camp is not a concentra-! tion camp, and that the officers! and men are human, quite well. Capt. Edgar DeMiller, middle aged and graying, came in yesterday. And he said the Army wants people to know how their sons live and where their tax money goes. 5 ”» Ld BRIG. GEN. F. B. BUUTLER Is boss at McCoy. And when visitors come he doesn't steer them through a Cook's Tour. showing them the bright and happy side only. He tells them right off to go ‘where they want, and see what they want, any hour of the day or night. He even supplies them with jeeps to get over the 63.000 acres under his command.

5 » = I LIKE THAT WAY of doing things. A lot of guys have come out of the Army as sour as a Dutch lunch pickle, and they peddle stories about what heels the junior officers sometimes are, and how Army life is just short of being in prison.

» = = IF MORE GUYS like Gen. Butler would open the book and let the public look, most of the gossip about the Army camps would probably get the brush-off.

Sun Life Shines

HOW DO THE “little people” buy insurance? I mean the wage earners, : They need the protection as much or more than the wellheeled. But they can't lay out their dough in chunks. They have to buy it, as they do everything else, in dribbles, so it won't hurt. This market is big. I've been talking to Angelo Bonica, manager of the relatively new Indianapolis office of Sun Life Insurance Co.. in the Goodman buildIng, 30 W. Washington.

i

" ” ~ IN THE YEAR and a half that Sun has offered insurance from five cents a week and up, it has insured 2400 Indianapolis families, and paid 10 life claims. Angelo Bonica, which rhymes with harmonica, has heen expand-| ing so fast that he has just added | William Bothel as chief field manager, a four-year Sun Life man from Cleveland. ! And Bill Duncan has moved up fo field manager. He Joined the company here. And because it is new, promotions come fast. And that's why Mr. Bonica is starting young men out at $50 to $70 a week, paying them as they train. |

8 =» ” | INSURANCE FOR WAGE, earncrs plays an important part in our lives. They have - little chance to save for the emergen-| cies, but they can have protec- | tion while they put a few dollars! away, and have a cash value! after a few years. : Mayhe vou don't buy this pay-| by-the-week insurance, but it's the! only kind some honest, hardworking people can buy. Ane Angelo. Bonica and his boys have proved that they want it. do Otherwise they would not have

I'M AFRAID the government is § The home owner got his brick going to take the fight out of the

grocery business.

The Federal Trade Commission He asked to have his win- jg toying with the idea of putting dows caulked, ‘just patch up a the boot to the “football items.” These are things sold at a loss to

lure customers. Grocers watch. one another's ads. If sugar or frying fat drops in a competitor's store, they smack it down a few cents more. This is to show customers who has the lowest prices. - ~ ~ » THEY WHAM AWAY on.the price front. . Customers love it. Some ‘clip the ads and buy all the specials. That hurts. It makes the grocers lose money, But there have been Instances

and lottery deals, so’ the FTC says, in lottery deals and ‘false and misleading terms." The- one thing I wouldn't like to see happen is to have the fight taken out of the food fight. And I don't think the merchants would like it either. It adds zest to the battle, and high adventure.

‘... Than Great Riches’

RALPH'S GOING to get his glass doors. And that makes me happy. And he’s going to get his signs painted, and his new ventilating register, after a year and a half. I mean Ralph Broughman who runs the United Five and Tens in Greenwood and Beech Grove who had begun to think his money was no good. Nobody seemed to want it. So I mentioned. quite humbly. Ralph's troubles to the business community, about the glass doors he wanted, his signs and his ventilating, and business grabbed the ball, and tore down to Ralph's place with a swoosh. n » ”

THAT made me feel good. It meant that business wasn’t going to let anybody say its word wasn’t worth the breath put into it. And I want to give business a pat on the back for taking care of its good name. That's all business has or ever had, is a good name. For a good name, as the Good Book says, is “rather to be chosen than great riches.”

Gardenias in Greenwood I OUGHT to go down to

and live greenwood tonight to see the new home of the Suburban Federal Savings & Loan Association. It's got $3 million behind the walls of its new limestone building.

William E. Meyers is president, but Griffith Dean runs it. He's vice president. And William Adcock, president of the Greenwood National Bank, is also a vice president. And Ray Barber who does the trucking for Arvin Industries is. on the board, with Ralph Broughman who told me about it.

AND TODAY THE LADIES of Greenwood will wear gardenias, and the men will have new mechanical pencils, and the kids will be popping balloons, all on the néw home of the Suburban Federal Savings and Loan Association. There's a big slice of America in this simple string of words, for Greenwood is everywhere — it's simply good people getting along well, because they've worked hard, saved and behaved themselves. And they're gathering, as good people always do, their just reward.

Tug of a Town

A. E. THOMPSON and his mother bought a sawmill. And they live in Advance, Ind. He tells me they like his wood down in Advance. but he has too much for them to buy. And the name of the town he lives in, that's beginning to work on him. He wants to get ahead. » » » MOTHER and son tell me they have husky . six-by-sixes, and similar timber toughies. And the son says he wants to move into the “big time” with contractors in the Indianapolis area. I don’t blame him. I'd want

to get ahead too if I lived in a 30

town named Advance, Be ashamed if 1 didn't. :
