The answers to everyday insurance By BILL RANSOM A QUESTION: We plan to leave on a long vacation motor trip within the next couple of weeks and a friend suggests that we take out a special theft insurance policy on our luggage, jewelry and other valuables which we take with us. Can you tell me whether we can 'get a short term policy of this kind and whether its cost is low enough so it would pay us to buy it? ANSWER: Ordinarily, if you already 'have a Residence Theft policy on your valuables, the simplest and most economical thing for you to do would be to have the "theft away from the premises" clause added to it and to pay the small additional premium. This coverage is usually a good deal broader than that given by a "personal effects" floater policy which you would buy for the duration of your trip. If you don't have a Residence Theft policy, you should consult your insurance agent about it before buying any other form of insurance.

you'll address your own insurance questions to this office, we'll try to give you the correct answers and there will be no charge or ob. ligation of any kind. RANSOM and RANSOM "Ring for RANSOM" AT WAVERLY 22 Phyllis Stevens Gives Concert Miss Phyllis Stevens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

McGrath claimed public support was increasing for the Truman Administration's program of students on the basis of test scores or scholastic standing. "I believe," he said, "that when the, emotionalism which now beclouds thinking on this deferment policy disappears, the 'American people generally will recognize its wisdom." Discussing the defense program, McGrath said the nation's "vast natural resources and our reservoir of highly specialized industrial, agricultural and professional skills are being used to turn back the threat of Communist imperialism." "Within the coming 18 or 24 months." he added, "rearmament will be well along, and, according to recent estimates, we shall then command a physical force and the resources to back it roughly equal in defensive strength to that of all our friends and possible enemies combined."
