SAYS AUTHORITY An Illinois family recently paid over $1,100 for medical care and hospitalization as the result of an accident If this happened to you, would you be properly prepared ? Mrs. Ruth C. Freeman, family economics specialist of the University of Illinois Colicge of Agriculture, believes people should plan their insurance coverage at carefully as th^y plan for their housing needs. "If you don't understand the wording in your policy," says Mrs. Freeman, "ask your insurance salesman to explain it to you. Be sure to read and understand the fine Sprint." If you have not reviewed your family's insurance coverage lately, take time out to see whether jHtkrhave the kk&uhtf of protection you need. Certain areas are a necessity/in a sound family money management plan. These include liability insurance on your automobile and personal liability, fire, accident and disaster insurance. There are also some other types that are desirable for the fami'.y's security. such as life Insurance and hoapltalizatlon. Being protected in emergencies because you carry various satisfactory insurances is all a part of keeping your family on a sound financial basis. Through this sort of planning you'll be most likely to meet your long* and short-time goals.
