MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1965 ALTON KVNSINU I'KLEGRAPH PAGE B-7 Cy DID UNCLE HARRY LEAVE A LOADED SAFE DEPOSIT BOX? DEAR CY: When Uncle Harry was around, he lived like King Midas on Vacation. For him, $250 suits were the rule. He died five years ago and his estate was only $18,000, when we heirs divided it up. I claim Uncle Harry has a safe deposit box stashed somewhere, loaded with the rest of his money. Our lawyer feels differently.

In my opinion, from the way Uncle Harry lived, there should be at least $100,000 laying around somewhere. Give me chapter and verse, Cy, on how heirs go about locating safe deposit box- can income tax returns for eads. And with all of Uncle larry's mail forwarded to one ddress, with postage guaran- eed, that's another way of hecking. This column is usual- compounded with optimism, iut I fear Uncle Harry has left cthing precious deposited in Us past. Sure, he dressed like Mrs.

Astor's horse, and even mere man likes to put on the hinestone-studded feed bag. CY DEAR CY: I would like to sit close to jeautiful women, interviewing hem, like magazine ads for nsurance adjuster schools es. A. NEPHEW DEAR NEPHEW: There are 15 million safe deposit boxes in our great land and very few, left by deceased persons, go undiscovered. This is mostly due to the tenacious bird-dogging of lawyers, and also a business quirk.

Safe deposit operations (usually at banks) get pleasure from re ceiving box rentals. If none are forthcoming, they get inquisitive. Lawyers check their various contacts, including banks banking associations, and safe deposit groups, to find the lo cation of missing boxes. At their instigation, safe deposit organizations may widely circulate notice of what is presumed lost under "Search for Records" in a publication. And, give at torneys credit for knowing human nature.

For instance, if a person had a summerplace they sense he might have a safe deposit box in the resort com munity. Lawyers reason, he didn't want to lose the import ant papers while out in the lake playing some obstinate bass Rent on a safe deposit box is a tax deductible item, so they also Represented Locally by HAROLD G. HUBER 2502 N. RODGERS 462-2631 show. Please quick jive me facts on becoming an nsurance adjuster.

BACHELOR LOOKING DEAR BACHELOR-LOOKING: A lot of gorgeous damsels get rivoived in bodily injury, but job of insurance adjuster is not exactly divine shapes and perfume which rubs off. Some nsurance adjusters handle only property claims arising from automobile accidents. Others work on small claims of home owners. Still others specialize in staling large claims of business firms or public institutions. Because work of an adjuster frequently is based on honest differences of opinion on the part of company and policy hold er, hf must be tactful, patient and discreet.

An adjuster must exercise good judgment in handling all types of touching them. I am sending you a copy of the colorful, in teresting brochure, "Careers in Insurance." Besides facts on getting started in insurance adjusting, it tells of other excellent job opportunities in the insurance field. P. S. Other readers, desiring a free copy, have only to write me, care of this newspaper, enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

CY DEAR CY: For one solid week, I have arrived at the office a half hour early. Do I get praise from the boss? Not on your life! What goes on in the mind of a man like that? ED S. DEAR ED: The boss thinks you are having trouble at home. CY There's for everything! A well planned filing system cuts filing and finding time insures accuracy and grows your business grows. If you're not satisfied with your system, can help you.
