Across The Counter

Calling attention to the flood of ciremilar advertising in behalf of insurance concerns that don’t use local agents, a New Hampshire newspaper comments editori-

ally:

••«t fiT-Qt giance the saving in cost seems a t t r active. But we should weigh other factors which seem to us to he of vital im-

portance ”

The editorial goes on. "Perhaps we may go 364 days of the new year

without even needing insurance, but on the 365th w'e may nerd some sound advice immediately. When we need a speedy answer to insurance problems, we don't want to w ite letters and wait days

for an answer. We could be in a jam before we obtained that advice in, perhaps, what might extend into a series of letter ex-

changes.

“T h e real

tes-t of insurance, in cur

Opinion, comes on that 365th day when we \:ant an immediate answer. To us the real test of insurance is the service we can obtain at the time of loss, and not during the other 364 days when we have no use

for insurance.

"We think the American agency system, of wh.’h our lo :il insurance a rcncies ire a part, is an ideal system.” May we handle your insurance? As local citizens we are here to seme you 24 hours

every day!

mm mm Billboards Should Not Mar Transcontinental Scenery By Margaret Lit robe

Looks like there w’as a wil'd joker in that cross-country highway deck dealt Congress a short while back. Billboards, we hear,

tal marvel—all 41,000 miles of it. The joker is this: no one in the

BATXBRIDC.E [federal government can stop the

billboard brigade unless and until one more player enters the; game. That player is the Public. ' And gentlemen, the game has just begun. Congress will get the word, lobbyists who greatly admire advertising placards a.* scenery will be told off sharply, and some fine legal print will be ‘ appended to the contracts .stating loud and clear— No Billboards! A concrete thinway inclosed i by Venetian blinds? Our dream j road resemble a winking eye with lashes of colored sequins? Folks, w’ait till Congress hears that the people who expect to drive across this network think the plain old rivers and mountains and corn belt are good enough. That they fancy a look at deserts, all red and mauve at sundown and melting bold at noon. That they intend to see bizarre cut-outs in stone carved by an eroding earth out West so

long ago.

Along that future highway, some will want to veer northward to the green and crystal of Michigan. Or .southward to Sim Antonio. the color of Spanish honey, where Texas voices greet strangers with a how’dy. Some of us know our own land so slightly, we mean to have a good look along our way. Some of us will w f ant to see the yellow’ of wheat, shatp yellows and orange and Kellyjjreen of citrus valleys, the pink and gray of camellias and Spanish moss growing in the deep South. Before leaving the big, wide highway for-these sights, U’e’d like to see the natural beauty of our land from one side to the other. As nearly the way explorer Fremont saw it as possible—

only faster.

Hide this panorama behind billboards? Scurry cross country playing “beaver” between toll stations, through an alley littered with reminders ? How’re yuh fixed for glades, Pennsylvania ? Are those mountain-tops filter-

,, tipped; Colorado? We want to

may decorate this transcontmen- it , ^ T i- „ » • T i SEE that home in Indiana, get

our feet wet in Ol’ Man River, 1 have a w-hiff of Oklahoma oil.

“Dear Congressman, how about a little vision on this sirperduper highway?”

Blackwood on Bridge Wrong Timing Can Defeat Contract Mr. Abel flubbed his contract in today’s hand because he timed it wrong.

When he led the nine of spades, Mr. Dale ducked and let Mrs. Keen win with the ten. She cashed her queen of trumps, taking the last trump off the board and now Mr. Abel lost two clubs and a spade for down two. “All I needed was a break in diamonds,” he said. “All you needed to do w’as to time the hand right,” .snapped Mr. Champion. "Just let Dale hold the first spade trick.” “I get it.” said Mr. Abel, “then I win the second spade and ruff a spade.” WIN SECOND SPADE "No, not yet.” continued Mr. Champion, irritated ;rt the interruption. "Yom win the second spade, finesse the queen of diamonds, then cash the two top trumps. Now cash the ace of diamonds and ruff a diamond in your hand. When the suit doesn’t break, you lead your last spade and ruff it in the dummy. "Mrs. Keen can’t overruff and you next lead a fourth round of diamonds and ruff. Now go to the board with the ace of clubs and lead dummy’s diamond. Mrs. Keen can ruff or not. If she does, you simply discar I a losing club. If she doesn't, you discard a club anyway. Either way you make your contract.”
