' Reminiscences By W.J. and Reflections The late Morte Crclg had more than one name for his place of business on Third Avenue. One was the "Arctic Studio." The other was "The Sign of the Rose." Each had "It." Each fitted the man and the place. One busy boat morning, with Morte cut of town, the "Si?n cf the Rose" became suddenly crowded. "Hew much?" inquired a potential buyer, pointing to a braes of small and dainty looking tctem poles attached to each side of the studio entrance. "They are not for sale," said Mrs. Craig. "If they were, what would you take?" A rafe figure was named with the explicit understanding that th poles remained private property. The stranger rambled on down the street, returned with a shiny new crcwdriver, removed the poles, placed the cash on the counter and the Arctic Studio saw him no more. ins. A drunken squabble. Why worry? Suddenly the man with the bottle sank to one side. He was on the way out. A minute earlier he had'been enjoying a halibut steak. It was his last.

"The Perfect Marriage tells a lively story of the nearly disastrous bickerings of an "ideal couple" celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. Bliss becomes blitz when they suddenly discover that romance has flown, and that they really have not wanted each other for quite some time. The little Imperfections which they have loved In each other are now enraging, and suspicion, Jealousy and bore dom are leading them on to the I road to Reno. How they eventu-i ally re-dlscover each other, and j recapture the perfect marriage that was theirs, makes for light-hearted and smart film Looking Ahead WITH TOM JkKEOWM "Never put e(f till tomorrow what you can do today" Is a fine old proverb, but for too many of us it runs: "Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow." We in the Life isur-ance business run into tlua "put it off" attitude only too often. I am not speaking of those Infrequent cases where a man postpones signing a life insurance contract for a day and Is killed, thus leaving his family penniless instead of comfortably off as he intended. I am thinking more of the man who believes In insurance and Intends to purchase it but always tomorrow, never today. This is an average man, and he doesn't die suddenly but let us see what he is losing. The longer he puts it off the more expensive his Insurance will be, for Insurance purchased at an older age costs much more than that bought at an early age. Also, he runs the risk of becoming completely uninsurable in which case he could not buy protection at any price. Then again, both he and his family are becoming accustomed to spending money which' should be invested In future security. Should he finally get around to buying Insurance he may find It necessary to give up what hi.famlly then regards as essentials. Have YOU been risking your loved ones' happiness by giving them luxuries now. In exchange for dire need should you die! Or have you made sure tiyit ihr 'will lisve a reasonable aUr.Jard of living always? Never put off till' tomorrow what you can do today. Enure the security of your family now. Remember, It IS Important. It MAY BE vital.
