Not yet can the damage to the cittus ! crop be fully estimated, but the vegetables in many areas are a Complete loss. The weather was veiy disagreeable and we that live here feel badly when guests arrive expectiing to get a nice sun tan and have to wear their winter coats.

At last Christmas Day arrived ami all who were free of other engagements wended their way to Highland Hammock State Par k to enjoy the pitch-in dinner, j And about the happiest folks of i ill were the grand parents who ! had children and grand children I with them that day from back j home.

“I've got a rather valuable stamp collection,” Fred McGrew said to me. "No doubt it should be insured separately apart from the general coverage of my fire policy on household contents. Can you insure it?” "Sure.” I replied "We have other- stamp collections insured now. And you're right. Any hobbyist with a valu able col 1 e c t i o n should consider specific ins u r ance. It covers more hazards Ulan a fire poliev.’’ Stoner I suppose you insure lots of things,” Fred commented. “Yes, Fred,” I answered. "Regardless of what you own that is insurable v * can insure it. You’d b*. surprised. For examp’e, it r a n g e f from a resi dence to .« stamp collec-t-on. Or, from an automobile to an outboard motorboat. Or from a TV set to a sterling silverset, worth Hunter lo's of money as a genuine antique of Revolutionary Wardays. I continued. “Some of the enges available are even mere unusual. For instance, a company recently announced life insurance for pedigreed dogs.” "It is amazing," Fred replied. “But. say, let’s insure niy stamp collection while I'm still thinking about it.” “I hadn't forgotton,” I said with a grin.
