ln date, and everyone had an enjoyable time. The meeting. of the’ Ladies} Birthday Club was held at Barbara Sauer’s home on Wednesday, April 15th. Due to conflicting dates and illness the crowd was smaller than usual, but everyone had a good time. After the lunch was over, President’ Erma conducted the business meeting: The mystéry bo as won by Alta Atchinson, It contained a little hurricane lamp. Fern Hoagland, Bea Leonard, and Elsie Prentiss arose for the singing of “Happy Birthday,”. and some also sang to little Johnny Bradshaw, who will soon be a year old. There were no anniversaries this month. When it was time for the bingo game, President Erma asked for someone else to call the numbers as she had a cold and her voice _.wes husky, so Fern Hoagland did the honors -for a time, with Phyllis Butz taking over toward the end of the game. Those present were: Cecile Wilson, Erma Colman, Lois McQuinn, Bea Leonard, Alta Atchinson, Catherine McLaflin, Edna Ferguson, Fern Hoagland, Elsie Prentiss, Ruth Bartsch, Winnie Sutter, Agnes Cartwright, Edith Brad’ shaw and son Johnny, Charmaine Reader and two little daughters, Veterans’ News A saving of up to two-thirds in their GI insurance costs can be made by those veterans who served in the Korean and postKorean period whose insurance policy numbers are preceded by the letters “RS,” the Veterans Administration says. These approximately 500,000 policyholders may exchange their present five-year term policies for new term policies that carry the same face value at a greatly reduced premium cost. These savings are made possible by a continuing improvement in mortality ratés resulting from a lengthening of the life-span. The new policies are not renew-. able after the holder has passed his 50th birthday but must be converted to a permanent ‘plan before that date if he wishes to continue protection beyond that date. In all other respects they carry the same protection of the present policies, : This restriction is considered to be in, .the best interests of policyholders in order to avoid the heavy increase in renewal term rates in later life. The VA. added that holders of the present term policies also have several plans of permanent insurance to which. they can convert immediately. However, the premiums. for permanent plans, while they never increase, are in a higher bracket than term insurance. Veterans not wishing to incur the expense at this time of the permanent type plans can save money while waiting by exchang_ hg their original term policies to the new low-cost type, VA said. Both the present and the new term policies can be converted at any time, without physical examination to a VA permanenttype plan. Full information can be secured by contacting any VA office, or by writing the VA office to which premiums have been paid. ‘Tammie is the name chosen for the new baby girl who came to The spring cattle drives are getting under way with the W.

SLIDING FOR HOME How to dramatize in a graphic way the distance required to stop a moving vehicle has been a problem. with safety. experts. Here is an idea suggested by researchers for the Murine Company: Supposing a pitcher in a baseball park was summoned from the center field bullpen 400 from home plate. He climbed into a car so that it was going 60 miles per hour as it passed the center fielder 300 feet out from the plate. At that moment the driver decided to jam on the brakes and he pressed hard on the brake pedal all. the way. home. Did he stop at the plate? No, he did not. The car traveled 60 feet between the time the driver thought of ing down the pedal. It would require another 300 feet to stop the car if it were traveling on dry pavement, On the grass . . . who
knows? But under the conditions related above, the car would surely plow into the screen behind home plate.

The estates. of Thomas and Teresa Bell of San Francisco consumed much time of the probate and appallate courts over a period of 33 years. Thomas died in 1892 ,leaving a large estate. Most of it was distributed to his widow in 1917. She died in 1922. Her will was declared invalid upon the ground that she was of unsound mind. Numerous persons claimed to be her heirs. In an opinion dated January 29, 1926, Justice Richards said: “The purposes, motives and conduct of persons both living and dead, whoses lives and actions are interwoven in the tapestry of this remarkable case,, are vieled in mystery as to the meaning of whcih we only gain occaof the cold record before us.” More than 4% square mies of the heart of San Francisco was destroyer by fire, following the April 1906 earthquake.
