LOOKING AT INSURANCE

Taking an impartial view

I KEEP SAYING and/or im-
plying in the column, week
after week, that life insurance
is pretty great stuff. I admit
to prejudice in this view, oc-
casioned by the fact that I sell

it. This ume I'd like to let a
few other folks with less per-
sonal interest express opi
nions on the subject.

John F. Kennedy said, ‘‘In
our system of free enterprise,
insurance holds a place of
special importance Ina
very real sense insurance sets
standards of performance
and responsibility for all
Amenican business ™

Lyndon Johnson had free
enterprise and insurance link-
ed together too: *‘I’m always
more impressed by people
who aim to help themselves
than | am by people who rely
on others for help . | can
think of no better means for

a man to help himself than to
undertake the purchase of

life insurance It
represents saving today for
tomorrow It is good sense °
