Box 1954 Indianapolis, Ind. 46206 THE AMERICAN LEGION MAGAZINE • OCTOBER 1972 PERSONAL Jluthentic, A LOOK AT THE 1973 AUTO. HOME INSURANCE CHECKUP DUE? NOTE THESE DEVELOPMENTS. As the 1973 auto season gets under way, the most visible change you see in the new cars is not in overall styling, but in a protective feature—the bumpers. These new jobs (which are sure to get a variety of nicknames) protrude several inches more than the old ones, making them immediately noticeable. That's because they have to withstand a 5 mph collision in the front and IVz mph at the rear (the 1974 models will have 5 mph bumpers at both ends). • Prices will rise in a 3% to 6% range, averaging maybe $80 to $90 per car. Some of the increase obviously is due to new federal standards (bumpers and pollution-control devices), some to the standardization of equipment that previously was optional (transmissions, disc brakes). • However, you may be able to recoup a fraction of the higher prices through lower collision -insurance premiums. • Style changes—while evident in some models—are not the splashy things they were in years past. Detroit is coming to the belief that styling isn't all that important in influencing sales, and moreover a combination of rapid style changes and safety features would drive prices out of sight. • The big emphasis this year is on the intermediates and the compacts. ^Vbitelabcr Q, DEWARS , , Havoc caused by nature—notably tropical storm Agnes—has resulted in "TENDED Scotch WHisKii billions of uninsured losses. So it may be wise to check your homeowners policy to learn what it does (or doesn't) cover. *bnDewar&Sons^ While there's quite a range of policies, plus regional differences, you can DISTILLERS. be pretty sure your insurance does not include reimbursement for: Damage due to war, flooding or backup of water, earthquakes or earth movement, losses by freezing, nuclear reaction or radiation, wear and tear, heating or cooling failures, and certain losses incurred if you rent your home. You may also be sure that if you steal your own property or set fire to the premises, you won't get away with it. But note that while war damage isn't covered, losses from riot or civU commotion are. As for floods and earthquakes, special insurance could be available in your area. In any event, it's a good idea to go over your policy with your insurance man to get the full picture. Remember, too, that coverage is limited to fixed amounts (rather modest) DEWAR'S on such items as jewelry, watches, precious stones, furs, philatelic property, watercraft, trailers, etc. The complete list is in your policy, in a section usually marked "Special Limits of Liability on Certain Property."

    Doing Local History in Indiana A Conversation with Linda Lou Rippy, Charlotte Sellers, and Joseph L. Skvarenina n 2003, when the Indiana Magazine of History surveyed its over 8,000 Isubscribers about their historical interests and reading habits, three out of every four respondents expressed a desire to know more about local history activities around the state. The following year we published David Vanderstel’s interview with Sal Cilella and Reid Williamson about the activities of the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) and Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. In a letter to the editor published shortly thereafter, IUPUI history professor Robert Barrows pointed out that since Cilella (now chief operating officer of the Atlanta Historical Society) and Williamson (now retired) directed “the two largest and best-endowed historical organizations in Indiana, they are automatically unrepresentative of the state’s public history community writ large.”1 __________________________ Linda Lou Rippy directs the Marshall County Historical Society.
