LAUSES NAME SON DONALD
rrank and. Edna Krause, 21
fcher st., have a^ son. born on
lesday, April 15. He's been named
)nald Allen.

exists herausc
of life.
Tlie Freeport idea is as old as
•the eye, the ear, the hand, the
will of man am. -he bidding force
of ^11 human history— the family;
yet the idea in its present form
is'as new as the new meaning of
clinic. Back ;n ^"eek times "•klini-kos,"
later in French "Clinique"
arid at last in America "clinic, "
the idea conveyed was that the
physician went to the bedside. It
is now completely reversed : —a
person goes to a clinic for knowl-edge
of prevention, perhaps when
no need of cure is even in sight.
Exactly what has been created
in Freeport; — A personal ami
family financial clinic. Assuming
that the one who visits the clinic
comes in a spirit of sincerity, ready
to answer questions, and to speak
without reserve as to his plans
and prospects, then will gradually
take form a pictorial appeal to
the eye that will extend his vision
to his life's limit (or his life's re-tirement
lehureJ to the limit of his
wife's needs, and to the lives o:
his children through their years
of dependent adolescence. The
question that .brought him to the
clinic "What must I do to be safe
over the earning years and . be-yond?"
brings forth an answer,
'"The facts that you have given
have created ifor you this distinc-tive
pattern of life. Will you act
on it Tor tMc H« ice of all you love?"
Conducted through a series of
picture-talks — conversion through
the eye— the seeker arrives at the
pattern, or diagram, mentioned
above. To talk of life insurance is
not at all new; in fact it goes back
three centuries or more. The new-est<'"
of new ideas in Freeport Ls a
Life Insurance Show Room, com-bined
with an information and
service center. Obviously such a
gallery cannot be brought to the
home but the interested, puzzled
ones can go to it and would prefer
to. Nothing like it as present
exists anywhere else in the United
States; and from here it will Un-doubtedly
spread to many other
places; for it is the convenient
evolution of ..... a form of necessary
service to the insurable puolK
their numbers ore truly unllmiten
. — individuals, employers, corpora-tions,
trustees, executors.
Unlike the child's task of learn-ing,
which involves learning for
himself alone, mo one else can
learn for him) the mature learner
in life insurance finds out that
his safety expends upon throwing
in his lot with thousands and ten.-
of thousands of others. By pooling
their problems they enjoy the safe-guard
of "average" in their risks,
the "average" being always les;;
than the individual risk. The prin-ciple
i.s this;— If many pool their
resources to provide protection
against that which may happen to
each, the average cost of protect-ing
all is less than the total of
individual protection, each for him-self.
This came clear in Marine
Insurance in the 15th century. In
the 17Ui century the Mercers Com-pany
of London worked out benefits
for the widows and orphans of
their members.
Right here it is proper, to point
out that a man in business for
himself i lone ought to look ahead
to the ; jfety of insurance against
accidentals and that serenity of
later years. We agree! But if T

The Village last Thursday took
title LO Parking Field 3 extend-ing

Merrick rd., and Newton blvd.
This action was delaye^Jx-caub*'
of the change in plans fur Liu-widening
of Henry st. Originally
it was proposed to add ten feel Lo
each .side of the street, but later
it was decided to take the entire
20 feet from the east sidj, on
which the parking field Ls located
The size of the field will be the:
same HS originally planned. It will
extend approximately 250 feet
along Henry st., and have a depth
of 325 feet, the front 100 feet to

the center of the block bounded by
South Grove, Pine and Church

being $4,500 for the acquisition of
