YOUR LIFE
INSURANCE...
Consider the problem of this
widow: Her husband owned
$4,000 of life insurance, which
she had thought would be
quite enough. She didn’t real
ize that a death generally
causes heavy expenses.
Within a few months after
her husband's death she had
to pay the following bills:
Hospital and nurse, $210; doc
tor’s bills, including an opera
tion, $240; final expenses, in
cluding the funeral, $900. The
total was $1,350. After paying
these bills, she had only $2,650
left.
The thoughtful husband who
wants his wife to have his
present insurance for her own
use and support should take a
policy for a "clearance fund"
—$1,000, $1,500, $2,000, or more.
Then she won’t have to pay
his bills out of the money he
intended for her and which
she will need so much.

Club Luncheon
A program meeting was held by
the Juneau Business and Profes
sional Women’s Club in the Terrace
Room of the Baranof Hotel on Mon
day with Miss Hallene Price, presi
dent, presiding.
The guest speaker, Postal Inspec
tor Sheldon of Portland, Oregon,
was introduced by Mrs. Jenne,
postmaster. He is in Juneau on a
survey of the town to plan house
to-house mail and parcel post de
livery. He explained that Anchor
age has adopted the plan and Fair
banks and Ketchikan also plan to
adopt the new service.
The delivery here would be twice
a day in the business section and
once a day in the residential sec
tion; with pick-ups three times a
day downtown. Also, pick-up boxes
would be placed in strategic places
throughout the city. This new
service would raise the price on
town mail or drop letters by one
cent but, he explained, it would
probably be well worth it with the
extra service and the parcel post
delivery.
Since it is Girl Scout Week, two
Senior Scout guests, Tony Warner
and Lorene Shaw, spoke on the Girl
Scout activities. Ocher guests in
cluded Miss Mary Horn, Miss Anna
Heisler and Mrs. Mel Johnson.
