Wartime readjustments . . . #1 H ere’s help with your adjustments!

It’s easy to agree that family re­ adjustments must be made in time of war. But it’s not always so easy to make them as Mr. Williams’ cartoons suggest. You can count on some real help, however, from any of the men listed below. They’re alumni of your college and they talk your language. They are also trained representa­ tives of the First Mutual Life In­ surance Company Chartered in America. Out of their experience you’ll get practical, constructive sugges tions. They’ll help you make the most of your limited life insurance dollars — help you protect your present policies with premium loans if necessary. Check your protection now when you need it most. If none of these men is near you, you can get similar service at the New England Mutual office in your city. ThE EASByS ENJOYED ALL THE DISCOMFORTS Of VACATION - R ig h t IN ThEIR OWN BACK YARD Jos.

It has not been often in recent years that the University of Maine could boast a golf champion, but in the person of Walter M Reed, Jr., of Fort Fairfield, of the Class of 1944, golf really comes into its own on the campus. On August 14 at Poland Springs he walked off, with­ out too great difficulty, with the Maine Open Amateur golf title. He was re­ ported to have lost the ninth hole but to have halved or won every other one of the match which went to 28 holes of a scheduled 36. This latest golf glory, however, was only one of others to the young champion. Earlier in the year he also walked off with top-ranking honors in the junior championship match and again in the State Intercollegiate. With a three-star record of victories against his name, he returns to the campus this month, the un­ disputed amateur champion of the state.
