Exploring Meets Older Boys , Needs j Exploring, scientifically built on the expressed needs and interest.- of young men. filled with challenge and positive value is now available to the young men of America. Exploring in posts is now broader in scope, more flexible and balanced in content, and simpler in method. Almost any worthwhile activity can be included, temporarily or as a specialty. These activities are adapt able to interests and leaders, sup plemented by consultants. To measure the activities being considered by a post, six explorer experience areas have been defined —social, vocational, outdoor, per sonal fitness, service, and citizen ship The officers evaluate the pro posed activity to see how many it provides of the six types—the more the better. An outstanding development of the new program is the specialty which enables Exploring to appeal to young men thrimgh their own special Interests. Specialties cover such diverse interests as science, emergency service, and conserva tion. This specialization may con tinue for months or years and then change to another specialty or to i none at all.

It was a period during which assets increased from $45,259,294 to an all-time high of $118.292.031. and insurance in force almost tripled from $397,08:1,098 to a record total of $1.151.420.911. As the year came to a close, our capital and surplus funds had risen to $15,195,904, providing added protection of policyowners. During the year, we also set aside or disbursed* total of $16,164,561 for the benefit of policyowners, Of this amount, $7,434,051 was placed in policy legal reserves and $8,730,500 represented death benefits and cash sums for education, business opportunities, hospitalization, medical and surgical care, and retirement. Because we were able to provide more protection for more people, our mid-century decade presents a record of accomplishment and success.

Anyone who’s looked around knou<s the majority of Chevrolet models—6Ts and V8’s together—list for less than comparable models of other low-priced dart. But the price tag alone is only one of a whole raft of reasons a Chevy does better by your dollars. Nothing near Chevy’s size and price can match the Full Coil cushioning of its ride, or the fine, finished workmanship of its Body by Fisher. That even applies to some cars that coat a lot more. You’re up in the higher price brackets before you find a car that moves as quietly as a Chevrolet or offers the inner apace that Chevrolet does. Or look at the extras Chevy gives vou —at no extra cost—that others in itsdaas can’t offer at any price. Shock-cushioned . Safety {‘late Glam in every win dow. Key lees locking of all doors. Crank- vent windows. Chevrolet offers widest choke of power I—ms. too. Drive a Chevy just once. You’ll have a tough time ffrarrmotcrj anything less.
