firm, who backed Gold in the
antique shop venture to the tune
of a vanishing $8,000.
We were countrymen." she
said. "He gave me a hard luck
story about losing $100,000 in
the diamond market in New
Orleans. .
"He gave bad checks at
restaurant, and the owners
warned me he was no good.
But I was a trusting soul. II
told them I didn't expect to kick
a dog when he's down."
x Another complainant was A1-!
bert M. Jaroff, a retired air
force major, who said he gave
Gold $4,000 to purchase some;
rare Chinaware. That he said,!
was just prior to the dealer's!
vanishing act. i

gave Gold $10,000 worth of fur

Br SID BOISK
QUESTION: While on a fish
ing trip last fall, I was fly
casting and accidentally snag
ged a friend in the back of the
neck. The hook had to be cut
out and though the wound
was painful, it wasn't at first
serious. Later, however, it
became infected and as I in
sisted on footing the medical
bills, 1 paid dearly for my
carelessness. I've been told
that there is a form of insur
ance which covers this sort of
accident and I would like to
learn just what it is and how
expensive it is.
ANSWER: The insurance cov
erage to which you refer is
given by a Comprehensive
Personal Liability policy. The
premium is very small and
the policy covers your own
legal Liability and that of
your wife and all minor chil
dren. Injuries caused by
sports accidents are specifi
cally covered.
If Tou'll adareu your own Insurance
question to thU office, we'll try to
five you the correct anawer and there
will be no oharae or .nidation of anr
kind.
