Guy Parker, local district manager
for the Farmers Automobile Inter­
Insurance Exchange, due to mile­
age regulation and speed restric­
tion, automobile accidents decreased
so rapidly that many of the larger
casualty insurance companies ma­
terially reduced their rates. In
addition to these reductions. Mr.
Parker stat«.? that his organiza­
tion found themselves at the end
of 1942 with a surplus accumula­
tion so great that they decided to
return $800,000 to theii policy
holders as a patronage dividend.
The distribution has already
commenced and will amount to ap­
proximately 20 per cent of the cur­
rent term’s premium according to
Mr. Parker.

Junior Miss.” Smash USO Comedy Hit,
Presented to Enthusiastic Audience
Undoubtedly the performance last Saturday night of
“Junior Miss,’ by the LSO-Camp Shows troupe, can be termed
one of the most enjoyable and amusing entertainment fea­
tures yet to be presented before the officers and EM of
Camp Adair. Each and every member of the large cast
is deserving of praise for turning in an accomplished and
brilliant performance and from the storm of applause and
several curtain calls, each could could feel the surge of
audience appreciation.
