W. SHEALY Vets Told NSLI To Be Expensive World War II veterans who still have not converted nearly 3.500,000 GI TERM policies will pay higher premiums and receive generally lower dividends every five years they renew their poli cies in the fuaure. J. Ed SJmith, contact officer of the Veterans Administration reg ional office at Columbia said this widening spread between premium costs and dividend returns will result in a sharply higher net cost to the term policyholders with every five-year renewal. “For that reason,” Mr. Smith said. “World War II veterans with five-year term policies should seriously consider converting to permanent plans of GI insurance with level, or non-changing, prem iums and with only slight varia tion in dividend rates. In addition to the virtually sta tionary net cost of peiimanent GI insurance plans, Mr. Smith said, these policies have certain values which term policies do not have, such as cash surrender value, loan value, and extended insurance value. He said a term policy by contrast merely insures against death for only as long asprem- iums are timely paid. Concerning the increasing net cost of term policies in the future, Mr. Smith said World War II vet erans today average 37 years of age Term policies renewed a t that age, ho said, require a prem ium of $7.90 a month for a $10,- 000 policy. The current dividend return for this policy is $5.50 a month, resulting in a net cost of $2.40 per month to the policy hol der. Ten years later, when the veter an is 47 and his term policy is re newable for the second time in the 10 year period, the premium will rise to $10.80 a month and the dividend rate will drop to $3.90 a month, boosting the net cost per imonth to $6.90, Mr. Smith said. This upward premium cost and downward dividend return will continue every five years until, at age 62, the premium cost will be $30.70 a month and the divid end return $3 a month, swelling the net cost to $27.70 a month. Mr. Smith said the current div idend rates for term policies do not change after age 60, but the premium rates continue to rise thereafter, which, in effect, con tinues the upward spiral of net cost. He said this trend makes the net cost almost prohibitive in the upper age brackets when the earning power of policyholders may begin to decline. “Yet,” he explained, “the term policy still will cover only against death and only so long as prem iums are timely paid. There are no reserve values in a term policy on which to fall back when the policyholder is no longer able to pay the premiums. A permanent plan policy, on the other hand, does have reserve values.” Mr. Smith said World War IT veterans who desire further infor mation concerning conversion of their policies should contact their nearest veterans administration office. sm %m' mmi wmm mssmms Wmm Wm Wm Wm m iyfmi i-' ; S im m*- ’mm. im wm mm m mm m. symo-js-- - wm mm. mi ik : mm mm Mrs. Willie Berley, who celebrated her 93rd birthday on Saturday, February 25, is still reasonably active and cheerful, although she has been confined to her bed for the past two years after suffering a broken hip.

Rangrs Prepare For Forest Fires In 1945 the Legislature passed the State-wide Fire Protection Act which provided for intensive fire protection measures in all of the South Carolina counties. Be fore this, there was only partial fire protection provided to wood land owners by the S. C. State Confmission of Forestry,, and un told numbers of wild fires burn ed with little concern of anyone. Following the passing of this Act fire towers were constructed in all counties to afford proper de tection. Also wardens were ap pointed to help the landowners suppress fires. The two main causes of fires in Newberry county for the past 5 years were smokers and brush burners. Careless smokers caused 46 per cent of all fires in the county while brush burning caus ed 25 per cent. Other causes con tributing to fire losses are incin- diary, railroads, campers, lum bering, lightning and a group of miscellaneous caused fires. All of these, except lightning, are man caused, which could be prevented. Protection to land owners i s being intensified within the New berry district and Newberry coun ty. Funds have ben provided whereby radio communication can be installed in the fire towers and vehicles of Commission per sonnel. By the use of radio, per- sonel receive calls for fire sup pression much quicker, without having to stand-by telephones. At the same time they are able to carry on fire prevention activities without being out of contact with the fire tower. At the present ra dios are being installed in the ve hicles of the Newberry wardens. The Silverstreet tower and Pros perity tower and District office have had radio communication for some time. Marvin E. Wilson is the County Ranger in Newberry county, and assisting him are two wardens; W. D.

Rotary Ladies Enjoy Dinner A large number of members and guests enjoyed Ladies Night of the Newberry Rotary Club last Friday at the Community Hall. Serving as toastmaster was Rev. Neil Truesdell. James Parr welcomed the ladies and a re sponse was made by Virginia Pay- singer. Guests were introduced by Philip Kelly. Entertaining the group during the evening were Paul LaRosa and Tally Kelly of Columbia. LaRosa, a former student at Newberry College, and vocalist with the Newberry College “N” orchestra sang a group of selections and led group singing. The ladies were presented with favors of lipstick cases adorned by the Rotary emblem. In charge of the ladies night program were Gerald Paysinger, general chairman; Keitt Purcell Jimmy Coggins, Phil Kelly, C. M.

M. Smith. ble for the Prosperity section. Al so assisting the ranger and ward ens are two tower operators, Mrs. Mary D. Taylor of Silverstreet and Elmer Boozer at Prosperity tower. In order to keep timbeland po- ductive, fire must be kept out of the woods. The fire fighting forces of the Commission of Forestry are not a “fire department” but depend on the cooperation of vol unteers and the landowner to put out his fire. Fire prevention and suppression is everybody’s job. If at any time there is a fire in the woods, landowners should call the following: , Silverstreet tower 999-J. Prosperity tower 2111 (Pros perity.)

SELMA, ALA.—Milton and Min nie Lucy,69-year old Negro couple, told a reporter here the figbt of their daughter, Autherine, to at tend the University of Alabama violated every principle of her 18 years training at home. ’ We raised 10 head of children, nine of them still living,” Mr. Lucy said, “and everyone of them was taught to stay their distances from white folks, but to give them all their respect. If Autherine has changed from this, she didn’t get her new ideas from home.” . Miss Lucy, 26 years old, was admitted to the previously all- white University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, Ala., Feb. 1 by Fed eral court order. She now is ask ing i the same court to give her another order forcing the school to take her back following her exclusion Feb. 6 by the university trustees as a safety measure. Demonstrations broke out Feb. 3 and continued Feb. 4 and Feb. 6, in protest against her presence on the campus. First Negro Student T’ve been studying and study ing over all of it,” Mr. Lucy said of his daughter. “And I can’t fig ure how or why it hit her to strike the match on this thing.” Miss Lucy was the first negro student in the university’s 125- year history. “She was born and raised right down here in these woods,” Mr. Lucy continued, “and it looks like to me she ought to be the last one to get in a mess like that. “Why, I keep asking myself, out of all the colored folks In Alabama, did this have to fall to my baby daughter's lot?” Mr. Lucy said he was in Birmingham, about 120 miles north of the Shi loh community where he lives, and where Miss Lucy now lives, “when all that egg throwing took place.” “I told her,” he said, ‘Td pre fer you going somewhere else and not going through all the danger of staying up there. If it can’t come to be agreeable, it won't came to anything. ’Displeasing’ To Lord “The Lord is a man that be lieves in things being peaceful. He says in the Bible to ‘shun the very presence of evil.' If Author ine’s going to school up there is going to bring confusion, it will be displeasing in the Lords sight.” Mr. Lucy said he had tried “every way I know how” to dis cuss the problem with his daugh ter when he was in Birmingham, (Continued from page 1) COUNTY ED. BOARD . . . that in the county syste&m there were 16 such teachers; that six would be required to teach only one year extra, the remaining ten either one and one-half or two years. The Board voted to allow those 16 (teachers to con tinue “if the teacher is physically fit and has a current health cer tificate” until he or she can qualify for social security ben efits. The subjects of closing tha Whitmire teacherage came up for discussion and the Board voted to “carry out the wishes of the Whitmire Advisory board, and the Aragon Baldwin Mill (which owns the teacherage) as to whether to continue it in oper ation. Election of teachers for the city and county schools was postponed until a special meeting of the Board which will be held on Friday night, April 13. but that she “seemed to be in a deep study. About all I could get out of her was that as long as she had been admitted, she wants to go through with it.” Mrs. Lucy was asked how she felt about her daughter’s actions. “I can’t sleep and I can't half eat, I’m so worried,” she said * i “Every time a car drives up, and a stranger gets out, I'm afraid he’s come to tell us something bad has happened. That’s what 1 thought about you. “1 wish Autherine would come on home to live with us or else go to some school that’s all right tor colored folks.” She added that the last time her youngest daughter “was home she talked like her tnind was way off somewhere else.” The couple said they had known nothing of Miss Lucy’s attending classes at the University until they had read it in the paper.Mr. Lucy added: “Before all this came up, I had plenty of white friends that 1 could go to their house and knock on their door any hour of the night I needed help, hut I wouldn’t do it now. “If there was something I could do to correct all this twixt now and sundown, I’d sure do it.” Mr. Lucy asked if he knew of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he had “read about it,” and then asked what it was. His daughter’s suit is one of a series sponsored by the N. A. A. C. P. in it’s' fight to end segregat ion.
