Seventy - five million dollars
have been budgeted by General

that keeps paying-off year after year.
So, get a good education. You can’t get ahead
without one. If you’re in school now . . . stay
there! Learn all you can for as long as you can.
If you’re out of school, find out how to get valu-
able training outside the classroom. Just visit
the Youth Counsellor at your State Employ-
ment Service. Remember, a good education isn’t
a luxury today. It’s an absolute necessity.

CLINIC
BY ALVIN W. LONG
VICE PRESIDENT
AMERICAN LAND TITLE ASSOCIATION
Up to Date Title Services
Bring Secure Investment
Do I really need a new title
search to safeguard my pur-
chase of a home? The -seller
says no defects were found
in the search
’ -property thrce
k * years ago - so
' why cant 1 reIy
v...on jjjg search?
Alvin W. Long Questions like
these aren’t unusual among
home, buyers, and the answer
is reasonably simple:
If you want assurance that
your investment in a home is
secure, you need a new, up-to-
date search when you purchase.
You also need new owner’s title
insurance to protect your in-
vestment against claims against
your title, some of which may
be based on defects not dis-
c’osed by the search.
Even if the seller of a home
seems honest, a buyer still
wants to be as sure as possible
that no title problems have oc-
curred during the seller’s own-
ership. A search of separately-
located public records will
check for such problems—which
include recorded workmen s
liens, unpaid taxes and special
assessments, and many other
matters.
To make the search, records
are examined from many places
including those in the offices of
the recorders or registers of
deeds, clerks of courts, and mu-
nicipal and other county of-
ficials. These records embrace
all recorded documents and also
judgments, other liens, general
taxes, street assessments, sewer
system assessments, and other
special taxes and levies.
Owner’s title coverage safe-
guards against financial loss
from claims against the title as
insured, including those rising
from such hidden defects as sale
by a minor or mentally incom-
petent person, a claim by an
undisclosed heir of a previous
owner, confusion resulting from
similar or identical names, and
others.

scope of customers, while facili- ,
ties will be added to six locations
where wide calling scopes already
exist.
Other plans of major signifi-
cance in 1970 include continuat-
ion of the company’s program to
eliminate eight party rural service
and provide one and two party
service to all urban customers as
rapidly as economically feasible.
During this year, 24 projects are
scheduled which will replace eight
party rural service with four party
(service and in 17 towns one or
two party service will be pro-
vided for all customers.
Adding outside facilities at 20
locations will expand extended
area and long distance services.
Construction will begin on 16
new buildings to house central
office equipment and construct-
ion will continue on three others
begun in 1969. Additions will be
i made to 18 other buildings. Six
warehouses will be constructed.
I “Only the major service im-
1 provements and expansions have
been mentioned,” Beck stated.
“There are literally thousands of
smaller undertakings throughout
the company that will take care
I of the growing communications
needs for the business, industrial
and residential customers we
serve.
“Customer requirements are
not only for more facilities but
• more sophisticated services,” Beck
stated. “We, at General Tele-
phone are ready to meet both
the need for growth -and sophisti-
cation.”
The anticipated net gain in
i telephones for 1970 is 57,000
which will bring the number of
• telephones served by the company
at the end of 1970 to 868,200.
