Is your auto insurance rated acrurat Iv? If not, you may be paying f much money for
this protection.
Recently, f r example, several stages o. lered refunds of "overcharges” on auto insurance due to mi-rating. Installment nut bases of autos were
misclassified
from 32 to 22.
The summary listed 12 county stretches rf state and federal highways as the most deadly durj ing the year The worst was U. S. 20 through Porter County, where 20 persons were killed during 1956. Second worst was U. S. 31 in Bartholomew County, scene of 16 deaths. Others in the top dozen were Tnd. 67 in Delaware

Says the National Better Business Bureau: "T h e
whole s ncme was made possible by connivance among— certain ruto dealers, certain finance comojinies and their insurance affiliates. Since it w is perpetrated to thousands of cases in individual manner by the same offamjers, it leads
to the conclusion that three practices were intenti o n a 1 and deliberate.”
This national “scandal” illustrates a good point. Let a professional insur-
m n n i *> .* ance agency write you: auto insurance. Tell thi it ale or finance company who arranges the financing o; your car that you’ll furnish y ur own insurance. While not reflecting on the

West opened the jack of hearts, dummy put up the queen, East covered with the king, and Miss Win won with the ace. Declarer saw that she would surely wi.i both red aces. She therefore needed eight other tricks to make her contract. This kind of counting of tricks is the simple secret of success in many
hands.
The needed eight tricks could be made with trumps if Miss Win could trump three cards in the dummy. It was clear that she couldn’t trump three hearts in the t-be dummy, since she just didn’t have enough hearts for the purpose. She co ild trump three clubs in the dummy, however, if she
