-:-o
The man who does not insure
his life is not a model citizen,
because he takes the risk of
leaving his family to be a
charge upon the state—he re-
fuses to unite with other men
in a perfectly feasible method
of preventing it.
He is not a model husband,
because he is not doing all he
can to love, cherish and protect
the one woman who gave up
her liberty for his sake, accept-
ing the lot which comes to her
as his wife and mother of his
children.
He is not a model father, be-
cause he is not doing his best to
make sure of the support, edu-
cation and social position of his
children. He is risking their
future upon his chance of liv-
ing until they are grown; if he
dies prematurely they will be
the losers of what he might
have secured to them by life
insurance. Insure your life to-
day, protect your family and
provide for your old age, as you
may die too soon or live too
long. Insure with Pan-American
Life. Joseph Muras, General
Agent. Phone LY 4-3871, Shi-

body seems to know what to do

bother me because it’s normal.
Man’s problems are always sev-
eral jumps ahead of his ability
to solve them..
My theory is that the amount
of brains in one town is always
about equal to the amount of
brains in any other town, and
you carry this forward to na-
tions, and you can see we never
quite have the equipment we
need. We get along, but the
odds for total solution are al-
ways against us. And besides,
if we solved all the problems
we wouldn’t know what to
with ourselves, although I’d be
willing to try.
Therefore, my prediction

Therefore, my prediction is
that 1965 will be about normal,
although as to what exactly will
take place throughout the world,
I can’t tell you. Me and the

1964.
Editor’s note: The Peach
Creek Philosopher on his John-
son grass farm on Route 3, Shi-
ner takes a look at a couple of
years in his letter this week.
Dear editar:
“Well, what sort of year did
you have?” a neighbor asked me
as 1964 drew to a close.
Generally, I’ve found that the
them a chance to report on
theirs, which I figure was what
man who asks
this question
probably had a
pretty good yearfi
himself, so I
never let such
people down, I
just say “Oh, I
can’t complain,”
and then give
was on their mind in the first
place. Another thing I’ve found
out is that people report a much
better year when they’re talking
with people outside their own
immediate family. The last
thing a man wants to do is let
his own folks know he had a
good year, financially speaking.
It’d be worse than a country on
foreign aid announcing its gross
national product was up 400 per
cent. You’ve got to remember, a
family’s rock-bottom, absolute
basic needs always stay 10 per
cent ahead of what a man’s
making, regardless of what it is.
But what I really started out
to say was what I thought the
new year of 1965 will bring.
I know that there are trouble
