LIFE INSURANCE FAMILY
AVERAGE REACHES $11,000
Ownership of life insurance bv
all families in the US. reached
a record average of $11,400 at the
start of this year, and estimates
indicate that the average may go
beyond $12,000 by the end of this
year.
These figures include families
without life insurance. Those with
insurance will probably average
about $15,000 of life-insurance pro
tection at year-end 1963.
The annual Institute of Life In
surance study of life insurance
ownership among all U.S. families,
insured and uninsured, reveals that
ownership has more than doubled
in the period 1952-1962, at an av
erage rate of over $600 annually.
According to the Institute, “the
significant increase in life insur
ance ownership per family within
the decade has been the combined
result of three factors: (1) the
purchase of larger policies; (2>
spread of ownership among fam
ily members, and <3> growth of
employer-based group insurance
benefits.”
An apple fanner in Churchill,
England, got nowhere when he
tried to stop thefts from his or
chard by posting a sign that read
“Keep out. Trespassers will be pro
secuted.”
The apples kept disappearing
until he posted a new sign that
said:
“Thou shalt not steal.” The thefts
stopped immediately.

Thousands in England
Eager to Serve
The Daily Mail (Conservative),
a London newspaper, complains
that while President Kennedy’s
Peace Corps is world-famous, hard
ly anyone knows of Britain's Vol
untary Service Overseas, which be
gan two years before he came to
Washington. The paper has been
doing something about this by I
publishing a series of articles on j
what Britain’s young men and
women are doing in all parts of
the world.
‘'But while there arc hundreds
in the field," it says, “thousands
are ready and willing to follow
them, but with no opportunity of
doing so. One home organization
has turned away five thousand
volunteers. Voluntary Service
Overseas offers one small outlet,
but there is nothing comparable
for similar work at home, such as
has been formed in the United
States."
