Retirement Income Polic-
ies are fine for some-primar-
ily, they save for people who
would not save otherwise.
But they are high priced
insurance plans, the specia-
list says, and policyholders
would realize greater income
from other savings plans-if
they could force themselves
to save.

Program for the evening
was a “food demonstration”
teaching weights and sizes of
foods, and caloric content.
Different foods demonst-
rated were turkey, cheese,
apple, vegetables and lo-cal
dressings.
Mrs. Wilma Jamison was
in charge of the program.
J anice Stubblefield was

At this point, the endow-
ment policy is no longer
protecting the policy holder.
Instead, the savings portion
of the policy will provide the
insuring company funds to
pay survivors’ claims.
Retirement Income polic-
ies are designed to build a
large cash value for a set life
income beginning at the
retirement age stated in the
policy.
Although the cash value of
a retirement income policy is
high, so are the premiums.
In fact, in later years, cash
value is greater than face
value.
Premiums are usually the
same throughout the policy
contract.
If the policyholder dies
before retirement income
payments start, the benefi-
ciary receives face value or
cash value, whichever is
greater, the specialist says.
