for several years and had regretfully arrived at his conclusion not to support the bill He realizes that the teachers in his own state arc underpaid danger from Federal control or regulation of our schools is too great for me ever to vote for granting of Federal funds for educational Senator Overton declared though the pending bill provides for a state administration of the Federal funds it is not unlikely that it will be only a short time before the Act will be amended so as to provide that no state shall receive such aid that does not administer its school funds without any discrimination as to race or color is not a complete answer to say that Louisiana can escape the Federal injunction by declining Federal aid because other states will accept the aid with such a rider placed upon the legislation and Louisiana will be paying its part of the Federal aid of which it will be denied the More than eight million Americans work on farms up insurance value if you decided to discontinue making further payments is $23780 At the end of 10 years it is $2356-40 and in 40 years it is $788290 For those individuals who can save larger amounts of money per year the 30-payment life plan issued at age 25 is $19770 per year and is paid up for the full amount in 30 years The paid-up estate value at the end of each year is proportionately larger Due to the fact that a 20-pay policy is paid up in 20 years the premium is still greater ($251 per year) Essentially these three plans are all the same except for period of payment In addition the more you pay per year per $1000 of Insurance the larger are your cash equities over a given period of time The cash equities might be called living values and can be borrowed upon at any time at 4 per cent interest Such equities have saved many a man from financial disaster more than once in his lifetime SERVICE INSURANCE CAN BE CONVERTED INTO THREE TYPES Damage to light wires was caused by tree limbs being blown across wires and
