surance Company, Indianapolis. The “safe driving discount plan” allows a sliding scale of premium discounts starting with one year of accident-free driving. The discount plan, just approved by Indiana Insurance
Comnusstaner Hany E. Wells, is teerrihsrt by Cari M. tt—ell, President, as the only one of its kmd being offered by Indian* risk firms. i . Applicants who have not had a claim paid by any insurance company for one year receive a 5% discount on their auto premium. If “loss-free” for two yean there’s a 10% discount, and if there has been no payment for three years a 15% discount is given. The term “loss-free” means that no bodily injury liability, property damage liability, medical payments or collision loss have been paid. Losses paid under comprehensive coverage, fire, theft, windstorm or towing coverages do not count against the motorist—in these cases he’s still eligible for the discount.

Says Russell: “We think our naw safe driving discount plan gives a sensible answer to the question: ‘Why do I have to pay the same as the bad driver far my automobile insurance?* ” “Of course, we have always had low basic rates for careful driven but here is an additional reward, a cash-in-the-pocket dividend, for the motorist with the safe driving record.” The discount plan applies throughout Indiana, to farmers as well as city residents, without discrimination as to whether rural or urban. It includes all passenger cars, except those fleet-rated, farm piekup trucks and other % ton or less pickups not used for delivery purposes. * If the applicant insures two or more automobiles, eligibility for discount will be determined by losses on the individual cars. Meridian Mutual has been active in the highway safety movement by sponsorship of the Indiana State Police poster panels throughout the state which have received nation-wide recognition. In this connection Russell adds: “Meridian Mutual has always actively supported the cause of careful driving, as evidenced by the thousands of dollars spent annually backing the State Police safety billboard campaign. We feel our discount plan is another step toward reducing accidents on Indiana highways.” P.T.A. PAPER SALE FRIDAY. OCT. 15ih

The stray of Cmmrmßb Rehabilitation Center vr£H boccoMM known from co—t to coast next March. It is being —eerited on H— by the National Society for CrfepM Children in a movie to be shown in practically every theater to the nation during the Easter Seal campaign of 1955. Roy E. Pettan. executive director of Crossroads, on dut-patient clinic for crippled children and adults, says the 30-minute documentary film will cover all phases of the work done at tito center at 3001 N. New Jersey St. Chicago movie producer Kennett VanHorn is directing the camera crew. Special emphasis will be given to scenes of the physical therapy treatments for patients crippted by widely varied diseas— and accidents. Crossroads treats patients referred by their physteiane in cases where the crippling is du—to arthritis, bursitis, burns, traffic accidents, falls, as well as the dread polio. Many of the patiente here have only one injured arm or leg, the director says, but there are a score of quadruplegic ceoor now being treated. The movie also will cover the work of the occupational therapy department and the curattva workshop where handicapped youths and adults are trained to become productive members of society so far as their disabittti—will permit. Other scenes will show the transportation service and the nursery school for children too disabled to attend public kindergartens. The aid given patients by the social workers and through the recreation programs sponsored at Crossroads will be explained in the film, too. Crossroads is the largest center belonging to the National Society for Crippled Children and one of the nation’s four largest rehabilitation centers for adults, Fatten says. But in 1953, the center had to turn away half the patients referred by physicians here because of the overcrowded building now in use at 3001 N. New Jersey. This critical situation has resulted in the current Crossroads Building Crusade—a fund-raising campaign directed by William R. Kraff and Robert S. Ashby. Plans call for a new treatment center, with modern equipment and ample recreation facilities, to be built in 1955 at 3200 Sutherland Ave. About half of the s3s(\')oo goal has been pledged in the dusade, Krafft reports.
