I Bought M Y A U T O INSURANC E at 2 5 % O f f from America's Oldest Total Abstainers Auto Insurance Co. I proved that I was a total abstainer with a good driving record —and Preferred Risk proved that they could protect me with stand- ■ard form automobile insurance at a cost of 25 % below what I had been paying . . . That was five years ago! But this was only the beginning . . . I found the initial 25% saving was followed by progressive rate reductions based on my own safe driving record. Since I had no accidents my rate went down even lower . . . Today my saving on auto insurance is 44% 1 was surprised that I could save so much — but I shouldn’t have been. I know that drinking drivers are responsible for thou sands of costly accidents and cause other insurance companies to pay out millions of dollars in claims . . . Preferred Risk pays out on none of these "drinking” losses because it has none. It has none because it insures non-drinkers* only. No wonder Preferred Risk has 90,000 satisfied policyholders and over $2,500,000 in assets— and issues America’s only non assessable total abstainers policy. No wonder I smile when I say "N o thanks, I’m a P.R.” *Non-drlnker means TOTAL abstainer. The occasional "social" drinker Is NOT eligible.

Dr. Fuller
the Hour seemed doomed in 1936 when its lone station, powerful KNX in Hollywood, joined CBS and took the broadcast off the air. But it was only the beginning. Forced to seek a new station, Dr. Fuller took his broad cast to the Mutual network to experi ment with coast-to-coast broadcasting and today the program is the oldest network religious program on the air. After the War, Mutual cancelled all religious broadcasts and the Hour moved to ABC. It is common knowl edge that Mutual has come to regret its ill-advised action. Dr. Fuller’s audience today is estimated at a conservative 10 million. In a recent survey by George Gallup it was found that no less than 96% of U.S. citizens polled believe in God. Arguments listed for God’s existence were: 1) The order and majesty of the world around us, 2) There must be a Creator to explain the origin of man and the world, 3) There is proof of God in the Bible (or other church authority), 4) Past experiences in life give me faith that there is a God, 5) Believing in God gives me much comfort. Paul Short Productions of Dallas, Texas has released a new documen tary film, “The Mighty Fortress,” which portrays the current resurg ence of religious interest and features as an outstanding example the Billy Graham Crusades in London and on the continent of Europe. Narration is by Westbrook van Voorhis, commen tator for the “March of Time” films.
