Hundreds of suggestions are pouring into the main office in a Student Council-sponsored program to better their schools. One suggestion asked that more patrol boys be placed near the canal which meanders by one side of the school. In this time of international crisis dotting the world map, another suggestion asked that we "help our neighbors."

What has time done to your life insurance?

Everyone knows what can happen to the performance of a car that isn't serviced regularly. The same risk of "poor performance" holds true for your life insurance if you neglect to keep it up to date. Time brings changes in your life that in turn create the need for a review of your policies. Perhaps new beneficiaries should be appointed. Perhaps the method by which benefits are to be paid, either by income or by single amount, is no longer in your family's best interest. What would a careful review of your policies reveal? That you have more than enough life insurance - or that time has brought new needs for protection and saving? By keeping in touch with the Man from Manufacturers you can be sure your life insurance is arranged to do the job you want it to do.
