Better Homes & Gardens July 1965 Magazine Article: WHAT IF YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUM?

Pages: 6, 8

Article

WHAT IF YOU CAN'T PAY YOUR LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUM?

You should never stop paying life insurance premiums without consulting your agent or the company. You probably will be advised to continue payments, if at all possible, because you may otherwise lose valuable rights. For example, your present policy may guarantee a larger retirement income than any policy you could purchase at the same cost today. Or you may now be uninsurable, and thus unable to replace the protection at any price.

HOW SHOULD YOU HANDLE YOUR HOME IF YOU'RE TRANSFERRED?

You are in luck these days if your company guarantees you'll lose no money selling your home.

Here's an example:

DOES IT REALLY PAY TO DO YOUR OWN HOME REPAIRS?

It always pays-- IF. If you thoroughly know what you're doing. If you pick handyman jobs that have a high labor cost compared to the price of materials. And most important, if you don't get so bogged down in maintenance chores that you forget to spend enough time and energy improving your home.

Is someone edging up the basement stairs? Is that faint rattle from the children's rooms the wind... or is it someone at a window?

ANESTHESIA: WHICH DRUGS ARE USED WHEN?

Even at a time when medical progress is proclaimed almost daily from newspaper headlines, many surgical patients still expect their anesthetist to be a shadowy figure never seen outside the operating room who will sneak up behind them, clamp a mask on their face, and drench it with chloroform or ether. Such images are no longer valid.

HOW TO BE SURE ABOUT SIDING!

The news about siding can be capsuled quickly: it's better. And "better" means a lot, since most sidings were already good. The facts are that new, long-life materials (vinyl, steel, fiberglass) are entering the siding race.
