Auto Insurance Rates Set By Community New York, Jan. 28. —Motorists living in communities that pay higher rates for automobile liability insurance and attempt to blame visiting motorists from low rated communities for their plight are completely in error, William Leslie, general manager of the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters, declared here today. Contrary to general public belief, Mr. Leslie said, for rating purposes accidents caused by visiting cars are charged against the community or rating territory in which such cars are garaged, instead of the territory in which the accidents occur. “Thus,” the rating specialist explained, “if a motor vehicle from suburban Tarrytown, where rates are comparatively low, were to drive into New York city’s teeming borough of Manhattan, where rates are very high, and cause an accident there, the cost of paying the claims would be charged against the claims record of Tarrytown, not against Manhattan. > “In other words, motorists in any given territory pay only the rate that they have created by their own driving record or by tolerating unjust court awards, exorbitant repair charges or lax enforcement of traffic laws and regulations. Therefore, if motorists in one territory think they can afford to be less careful in another territory, they are simply kidding themselves, because the cost of any damage they do is charged right back to them. “It was most heartening to observe, when it was necessary to make emergency increases in rates in many states last year, that most motorists and newspaper editors recognized the inevitability of the increases in the presence of increasing accidents, increasing court awards, increasing repair bills and decreasing law enforcement. The rating bureaus were surprised to note, however, that so few motorists or editors seemed to understand the methods and reasons for establishing automobile liability insurance rates by territories. “In most cases, for instance, the greatest number of motor vehicle accidents occur in urban communities, where traffic is far more dense than in the suburban or country areas. Motorists in some urban communities pointed out that much of the traffic density was caused by cars from the outer’ territories and complained that their higher insurance rates were at least 'substantially caused by visiting motor vehicles. Similarly, country motorists complained tha t it is the city slickers who whiz over their highways at terrifying speeds on week ends who cause insurance rates to rise. “If the facts were true in either case the complaints would be righteously justified, but both premises are incorrect, as I have pointed out. Rating automobile insurance by territories may be very generally explained as follows: “In order to avoid, insofar as it is possible, shouldering the bad accident records of one area upon the pocketbooks of areas that have better accident records, each state is divided into what insurance companies call ‘rating territories.’ In congested areas, these territories may be very small; in uncongested areas they may be quite large. The object, in every case, is to have the cost of insurance shared just as equitalbly as possible. “It is most important, therefore, that every motorist should clearly understand that wherever he has his accident, the cost of paying his claims will be charged right back to the territory where he lives. Perhaps that knowledge will help to persuade motorists to drive more carefully everywhere. The city car owner who burns up his country cousins’ roads is not only inviting pyhsical disaster, but also higher insurance rates for himself. Similarly, the country cousin who visits the big towns and is not extra careful in the denser traffic there, also is inviting a smashed car and higher insurance rates. “Insurance rates are made by arithmetic. The motorists in any given territory make that arithmetic. They can add it up as high or as low as they wish, • without worrying that visitors from other territories are going to throw it out of balance to any important extent. The man behind the wheel makes the rates for his own community, whether he lives in Chicago and cracks up in the wide open spaces of Wyoming, or whether is is a planter from the south frying to show the yanks in swirling New York how to really drive.” Mr. and Mrs. Horace Gottschalk and daughter are spending a few days with relatives in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Jacobs and children of West Chicago, are spending several days this week with Mr. ‘and Mrs. Lionel aßtes and famUyt Mrs.' ? Jacobs . and Mrs. Bates' Wre sisters. —

ourxkmgn Seiferce CRie home newspaper is sent free to all men and women In U. S. Armed Services through cooperation of Wawasee Post No, 223 and The Journal) Mrs. Theodore Vorhis has received word that her son, Max Workman, stationed in Korea, has been promoted to the rank of Corporal. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Whaley will go to Chicago Friday to meet their son, Pvt. Robert Whaley, Camp Pickett, Va., who will spend a ten days furlough with his parents. Cpl. and Mrs. Philip Strieby and Cpl. Carroll Koble left Thursday for Waco, Texas, where Cpl. Strieby and Cpl Koble are stationed at Connelly Air Force Base. Pvt. Robert W. Clark, now in Tokyo but expecting to go to the Korean front soon, sends the following service map’s lament: “We Are The Boys In Korea” We are the boys of Korea, earning our meager pay, guarding the folds for millions, for a measly three-fifty a day. High on a wind-swept mountain, Korea is the spot, fighting the honey cart odors, in a land that God forgot. Out in the road with shovels, eating the wind blown dust, doing the work of a chain gang, and too dam tired to cuss. No one cares if we are living and no one gives a dam, when “welcome” comes we are soon forgotten, for we belong to- Uncle Sam. Out with the lice and lizards, here’s where a man gets blue, way up in the mountains and a thousand miles from you. All night the wind keeps howling, it’s more than I can stand. Really, folks, we’re not conceited, we’re defenders of the land. Many years of life we’ll miss, so don’t let the draft board get you, and don’t be a fool and join. We spend our leisure time writing to our folks and to our gals, hoping that when we get home, they haven’t married our pals. We haye washed a million pans, and peeled a million spuds. Our hands are sore and blistered from washing dirty duds. AU the inspections we have had are more than I can tell. I hope it’s nice in heaven, for I know what it’s like in “Hell.” When this life is over and we will slave no more we’ll go to our final dress parade, on the bright and golden shore. There Saint Peter will greet me and suddenly he will yell, “Come on you boys from Korea, you’ve done your time in ‘HELL’.” — Pvt. Robert W. Clark, U. S. 55177677, Prov.‘ Co. S-E 338, APO 613, care P.M., San Francisco, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Pyke and daughters Cheryl and Lonna of Mishawaka, were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bauer.
