velvety thing and brought her
home, the car resounded to a com-
fortable purr all the way—no fright
so long as protection was assured.
"She was one of three strays
which became our guests one after
the other during the autumn. The
second , a striped gray half-grown
kitten with huge double paws had
been first noticed Biitfflirg for food
In one of the markets. Then he
was traced some distance along the
highway by a kind friend who both-
ers about strays and frequently
reports them. With her help, we
telephoned six or seven families
living on the route the small cat
had taken. A fortnight later we
received a report by telephone from
one of these households where a
kitten exactly answering the de-
scription of our wanderer had
found refuge. So he and later a
young maltese cat, evidently de-
serted, became transients In our
guest shed where hay and blankets
were In readiness—for the nights
had grown cold—and food In plenty
was supplied.
"All through the Summer and
Autumn our agents , with help from
persons who had called them, were
catching stray cats—many of them
poor old derelicts—in our humane
traps. Some had been wild for
years. Others had families of kit-
tens born In the wild. The latter
are the most difficult of all to catch.
"How can this condition be
brought under control ? By per-
sons who own female cats. They
are in the fleet Instance responsi-
ble, so we urge them to put most
of the kittens mercifully to sleep
immediately. For we know to our
sorrow that even for the most de-
sirable pets there are not enough
good homes to go around.
"It is a red letter day when we
receive messages such as these;
'The little orange colored cat you
brought us is a perfect joy .' 'The
kitten you sent us a year ago, is a
success ID every way. He has
grown Into a remarkable cat!'"

Medicine Takes The Initiative
The American Medical Association has announced develop-
ment of a country-wide system of voluntary sickness insurance
protection to be operated on a non-profit basis by local medical
groups. Details of the program, including costs, benefits and
standards, now are being worked out. The average cost to
any individual policyholder enrolled under the co-ordinated
voluntary system will be "considerably less" than the $144
annual payroll deduction suggested under the President's com-
plusory health insurance program.
Local prepayment plans now in operation must conform
to the following standards in order to become part of the new
proposed nationwide system:
(1) They must have the approval of the state or county
medical society in the area in which they operate.
(2) The medical profession in the area must assume
responsibility for the medical services included in the benefits.
(3) The local plans must provide free choice of a quali-
fied doctor of medicine and maintain the personal, confidential
relationship between patient and physician.
(4) They must be organized and operated to provide
the greatest possible benefits in medical care to the subscriber.
The medical profession is working to perfect a national
voluntary health system because it believes that is the only
way the American people can continue to enjoy a high stand-
ard of medical care. It also believes the American people prefer
voluntary action to compulsion.

The fire
-
insurance industry is warning homeowners of the |
drastic rise in building values that has taken place since 1939, j
and of the consequent underinsurance problem.
The National Board gf Fire Underwriters declares: "Since
1939, building values—particularl y home values—have risen
from 30 per cent to 50 per cent in practically every state in
the union. In some communities, the increase is even greater.
Home furnishings and personal property — furniture, rugs,
clothing, jewelry—have also risen in value.
"Most property owners throughout the nation, since they
have not built nor moved in recent years, have overlooked the
vital necessity of increasing their insurance to protect the
increased value of their own property .
"Yesterday's insurance cannot protect today 's property
values. It is the responsibility of every insurance representa-
tive to bring the seriousness of this situation to the attention
of every policyholder concerned.
"Should fire strike these property owners while they are
still underinsured, they face tragic and needless losses—losses
that might well represent the savings accumulated bv years
of effort." '
During the next five months, fire insurance advertising
will stress present day property values. Every property owner
will have called to his attention the creeping menace of rising
property values to the out-dated insurance policy.
