They add that Hawaii is fast changing, becoming more like the "Mainland" each day, -=. so the time to take a tour is now. Through the facilities of the Hoosier Travel Service, Michigan farmers plan to do exactly that in early October when they leave for a two-week "farmer's tour" of the Hawaiian Islands. The tour is one of six currently offered ~1ichigan farmers and their friends through the new tour service. Others include a "Northeast Caravan" - a trip through "Sunny California" - a tour of the Pacific Orient, a "Holy Land Pilgrimage" and a Mexican tour of ten days. The Hawaiian tour is scheduled to leave Chicago, Oc- tober .5, returning October 19. Considerahle time will he spent in Honolulu and around the island of Oahu. A very complete excursion will be made to Molokai, ~1aui, the island of Kauai and the big island of Hawaii. What to see? Palm trees, taro patches, an infinite variety of orchids, sugar cane and of course, pineapples. A close look will he taken at the intricate agriculture of the islands, huilt upon an abundant rainfall, volcanic soils and plenty of sunshine.

Vermillion, Administrative Vice President Farm Bureau Insurance Companies of Michigan Deaths and injuries on Michigan highways have reached an emergency stage. This in- crease started last year when accidents jumped by 33,000 over 1961 The injury volume continued a four year rise, increasing by 14,000. The first four months of 1963 shows an even sharper rise in accidents, injuries and deaths. What does this record mean to the insurance industry and to you . . . the policyholder?

Second, our continuing studies of accident frequency, mileage driven, use of car and other factors indicated that rate adjustments were necessary to maintain a fair dis- tribution of these increased costs. While some Farm Bureau Mutual policyholders will receive slight to moderate rate increases . . . many will benefit from two new advantages: LOWER COMPREHENSIVE AND COLLISION RATES . . . Full time farmers (where there is no male driver under age 25) will receive rate reductions for comprehensive and collision coverages. This is possible because full time farmers, as a group, have fewer accidents than drivers in other classifications. 10% SECOND CAR DISCOUNT . . . A 10% dis- count will now be given on each passenger car when two or more cars in one family living in the same home are insured with Farm Bureau Mutual. A farm pick-up truck can qualify your passenger car for the 10rr discount. Our new auto rate structure will permit us to continue to serve all of our policyholders in a fair and equitable manner. We are dedicated to providing the best protection plus the best agent and claim service, at the lowest possible cost. We will continue to meet this responsibility to each Farm Bureau policyholder. Over 200 Farm Bureau agents and adjusters are ready to serve policyholders throughout Michigan. Your local Farm Bureau agent can answer any specific questions you may have. See or call him. He'll be pleased to serve you. "Bui/ding Confidence thru Service" FARM BUREAU INSURANCE C O M P A N I E S O F M I C H I G A N Farm Bureau Life • Farm Bureau Mutual • Community Service
