Light Fa :l s AboutInsurance History

A "gunslinger" of theOld West could get lifeinsurance coverageback in 1869, butprobably not today if helisted that as hisprofession.

That's the opinion ofWilliam W. Rockwell, 0f367 Pratt St.,Southington, agent forConnecticut Mutual Lifein Meriden who.pointedout that the business ofunderwriting insurancerisks has changed a lotin the past century.

"Saloonkeepers, soapboilers, riverboat pilotsand tallow chandlerswere among theprofessions of life in-surance policyholders100 years ago," WilliamW Rockwell explained.

"The world was full ofdifferent dangers then -yellow fever, the perilsof pioneering, accidentson such new fangled in-ventions as the train andriverboat," he added.

Looking back incan

during this Bicentennialyear, the local in-surance agent cited theexample of one BradDaily, who listed his oc-cupations as Stagecoach driver, Unionscout, freighter to theArizona silver minesand county sheriff inNew Mexico.

"Back in 1869, Con-necticut Mutual sawnothing unusual aboutthose occupations andinsured Daily for$10,000," Rockwell said."And it turned out thecompany was rightabout the risk, Dailydied with his boots off,felled by intestinal in-flammation."

Post CollegeTo ConductLocal Survey

Southington citizensand those of 30surround-ing towns will be polledduring November by a•olial group of Post

lel•e studentsarmed with surveyforms designed to re-veal the area's culturaland educational needsThe survey, under theleadership of Gary A.Kasey, assistant dean ofstudents, is the finalstep in study to pinpointthe spheres in whichPost College might bestserve the community.

The college'sassessment of com-munity needs is beingconducted by a com-mittee appointed in Sep-tember by Post'sPresident Harold G.Harlow with Kasey asproject director.Representatives fromthe cpllege's ad-ministration, faculty,alumni, and studentbody named to the com-mittee were assignedspecific related areas ofinvestigation and thedata accumulatedduring this explorationwill be analyzed at theconclusion of the study.

"Awareness of Com-munity needs is the firststep toward meetingthem," said Kasey,"and although post hasmade an importantmove in that directionby initiating the area'sfirst four year program,we feel there is stillmore we can do t6enrich the educationaland cultural op-portunities here."

country's sixth oldestlife insU.rance company,Connectict•t Mutual Lifefrowned on two prac-tices common in itsearly days - .due!ling ands!a.v•.ry -whtch revolvedh•gh insurance risks.

For example, Rock-well said, when 28 yearold Ludlow Cohen lost aduel in 1870 his heirs losttheir death claim. Andwhile slave-owners wentto many insurance com-panies to buy specialrisk coverage on theirslav,es, ConnecticutMutual's board of direc-tors voted to shun thistype of business.

Rockwell also notedthat when would-beprospectors pouredwestward to the Califor-nia gold rush, Con-necticut Mutual insistedon a premium increaseto cover suchpolicyholders or/ themany hazards of thewestward journey.

concerned about theo an[v of each riskI• cause bad risk selec-tion can hurt allpolicyholders - the samereason why sky-diversand hang-gliders areusually excluded fromnormal insurancecoverage today, hesaid.

"But who knows,perhaps 10• years fromnow, life insurance com-panies will receive ap-plications from starshipcommanders or mooncolonists and think,'Just another day'swork'," concludedRockwell

OPINION & COMMENT

The Secret ChamberOf all-the-challenges facing busine• today -- whether it be

the giants like Ford Motor, AT&T, Mobil Oil or one of thenumerous smaller concerns such as we have in Southington --

regain the public trust.

Public confidence iv, business is lower now than it has beenfor many yea•. According to 01m survey, 5.5% of ,Am.eric,ansin 1966 had a htgh level of confidence in business teauersnip.Today only .16% do

What has caused this decline?

Many things. But important amo.•l• them are revelations ofcorporate kickbacks, bribed officials, illegal political con-tributions, secret bank aceount• and the like.

Today, many businesse• ar• worki_n.g hard toward over-coming these black-marks. They are fighting the erosion intheir public trust by enforcing rigorous codes of business con-duct, by spelling out clearly -- and publicly -- just whatbusiness does that is good. And rightly so.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? I don't know, what do you think? He's scarey. This seems to bethe debate between two preschool youngsters at the YMCA Community Nursery School.The three to five year olds participated in a Halloween party and costume parade onThursday Oct. 28. Nursery School is more than candy and parade•, though. Normallythe youngsters play in the gymnasium or go swimming in the pool.•.

SPEAKING 0 UT/ By Joseph Fontana

Restoring the'good name of business deserves urgent at-tention of everyone in business today. It is the best way toassure the survival of business tomorrow.

Why then, with all thi• need to restore public trust in ourbusiness firms does the Greater Southington Chamber ofCommerce still cherish meeting in secrecy?

Accqrding to its Executive Director Edward Beckley andBoard ,•f Director member Craig S. Carragan Jr. - on Oct 28- the•bamber'• board stilLwill not, open its, ateegngs t_o_th•press.

This is difficult to understand. The Chamber is supposed tobe a leader of business and industry in Southington. What canbeso secret that it must be discussed behind closed doors?

•Are they planning to zip a new mall into downtown and donot waht anyone to know about it?

•Are they attempting to raise funds to help keep the Cham-ber afloat and are ashamed of it?

•Are they -- behind these closed doors -devistng some•reat scheme to bring new business into the empty halls at

exto?

The Chamber got concerned last August when we men-tioned its invisible nature. If they held their planningmeeting or board meeting with the press listening in, th.e.nthey would certainly end up. with the whole communityknowing just what they are trying to do to help Southington -and the•'r'memb•rshipcould ba•k in the light thus shed.

Perhaps, the biggest shock of the Chamber's anti-information beard meetings is that one of our press people sitin on it and helps to encourage such secret metings.

We feel Carragan - who is general manager of WNTY - isgrossly wrong in suppoledng this veil of secrecy - par-ticularly ,when the -•,hole press is t_oday commit.•dtobringing sunshine into public •eetings. Business meetings -such as the Chamber's -- should s,e.t an e.xam•e for others tohold clear, crisp, out-in-the-open aiscusstons.

Carragan's radio station is among those who are cham-pioning for the rights of the press. How can he s•.nd [or thefreedom of the press, yet serve on a eaose• corporauon-.'

We call on Carragafl to resign in protest -- and strike a blowfor open meetings.

The Chamber must be a vital and virile organization. It canonly become so ff it doe• all its business out in the open

Athlete's Insurance Is ClarifiedEditor's Note -- SHS's Direc-

tor of Athletics •s wormedabout misconceptmns con-cerning the insurance plan forth• .school's athletes Parents"failures to fill out forms havedelayed payments on severalogca•ion•. The followingSpeaking Out! is spec•ficall•written for all parents of BlueKnight athletes.

The Southington Board ofEducation has purchased ar•all-sports insurance programfor 1976-1977 from the Ed-ward Connors agency of 11Oakwood Avenue, West Hart-ford, Connecticut. Thispolicy provides coverage inthe amount of $10,000 formedical expenses €$1,000fordental expenses) along withother benefits as described inthe brochure for regularschool insurance.

The plan of insurancecovering interscholasticsports.is now being writtenon an "excess basis." Inother words, when an injuryoccurs, the claim must firstbe presented to your in-surance carrier. When youreport the injury on the claimform to the school insurancecompany please forwardonly those bills which show

credits received from yourinsurance. The school in-surance will pay that amountnot paid by the other in-surance.

The purpose of thisprogram is to stabilize thecost of spol•ts insurance tothe town SlYould your in-surance not providecoverage, or if you do notcarry insurance, the schoolinsurance will pay the billsas rendered.

In the event of an injuryrequiring medical attention,it will be necessary that thestudent make a report to thehigh school office within 48hours of the time of oc-curence, so as to insurecoverage of any medical ex-penses which might resulttherefrom. When such areport has not been filed, andthere is no record of such in-jury, the insurance companycan refuse to pay for themedical expenses incurred.In such cases, the respon-sibility for payment of thebills is naturally assumed bythe parent.

It is important, therefore,that the high school boys andgirls be reminded that theresponsibility for reporting

such accidents is theirs, andwe urge your cooperation inimpressing this fact uponthem.

We are very pleased thatyour child has indicated aninterest in our athleticprogram. If this office can beof assistance to you in anyway, please feel free to ca IIUS.

tor of Athletics at South-ington High School.

THIS & THAT

It takes two things to con-duct a successful politicalcampaign: hot issues andcold cash.

Political TV commercialsprove one thing: that somecandidates can tell you alltheir good points andqualifications in 30 seconds.

We should hold electionsevery year, because therenever seem to be tax in-creases in an election year.

'The Big Shoot Out! '/Part I of a No•s• Saga/

A few days after the big October shoot out at Northington'sThunderch•cken West Care, Marry Ca)led Ac.ePhotographer'/Reporter Craig Baggott into his o•flce.

"Say Ace, let's wander out to, da Th.und•hidken and seejust what in blazes all da shootin was at)out.

"Yep." •Craig, like his tall •ounterpart, Gary Cooper, was

a man of few words. )

"So grab your camera and notebook, partner, a•d let'smosey out there "

"M.D., will ya and Dugout hold down da corral, Ace and Iwill be in da sagebrush huntin' outlaws."

"O.K. Seeya chief. I mean sheriff."

A few minutes later the journalistic posse reached theThunderchicken West Care -- nestled in the NOrthingtonfoothills on Mt. Vernon Rd. -- and trod the Scamp outside.

"Hm," observes Ace "There's no sign on da cafe. Just da• .,

"Yeah, shoot a photo of it will ya. Maybe that's where allda bullets ended up..."

"And at da same time,, Ace, will ya get a pix or two of dacafe itself. Ya know, it s rather western in motif - all redbrick and wood (and complete with a ZBA and PZC in-spection I presume) -- though there's sure a lack of blacktopin da parking area. I guess dey have a lot of boss and foot

travel."

"Photos are done," shouts Ace "Let's go inside." .

Opening the door, they entered a dimly-lit room and brisklystepped off the eight paces to a long (darn clean-lboking)black and red bar

Outside of a front w•ndow letting in some daylight, the barwas lit mostly by a series of signs -- Bacardi rum, Schmidt'sbeer, Tuborg beer, a Schaefer beer clock -- and a Bud-weiser clock glowing behind the bar A juke box and an elec-tronic game also contributed feeble red and yellow glows.

The room suddenly became tense as a lady behind the barand the few customers -- either "regulars" or already mem-bers by being there earlier than the two strangers -stared atMarry and Ace

The bar smelt cops •

"Acoupleofdrafts.please," ordered Marly. "makeo•eadarkPrior's "

"Adollarthwty," requested the lady. She was neither harshnor was she friendly just sizing us up.

Marty prod the tab as Ace claims he's so thin he can't carryhis wallet in his jeans without bulging -- and that would ruinhis Gary Cooper image. M D. and Marty just call it cheap ..but he's a good photographer and he's also the brand new dadof a young boy ICraig Whiting Baggott}.

The first beers went down quickly And quietly.

Marty ordered another round The freeze was still on in thebar as the lady placed the mugs of draft in front of Ace andMarty

"Onethirtyplease. "

"Yeah,thanks Herehs "

"Hey, Marty, do you tink dey tink we're cops?" asked Ace.

"Probably, dis trench coat of mine doesn't help either• Ithink I'll take some notes and ask a few question."

"Say. miss, •s this the place where the big •hoot out tookplace?"

"Yeah." (An icy chdl took over the bar.)

Marry drew out h•s notebook and began to write a descrip-tion of the Thunderchicken West Care. He jotted down the ap-proximate size -- roughly 24 feet x 32. A black and red barwhich dominated the room. Four rows of yellow top tableslined the far wall, near the single entrance door. Each tablewas neat Each table had five red padded, biaek backedchairs Each table was quite clean. In fact, the whole bar wasnoticeablely clean

"Where did da outlaw sit da otherday? Marty inquired.

"At the second table," answered the lady.

"Where did da cop sit?"

"The detective sat at the rear of the bar on the last stoolover there,': she pointed. • A thaw se.emed to be in the offing. )

"Thanks "

Marty stood up and removed his trench coat. Standingthere in his best editorial grey tweed jacket, he turned to theattractive lady behind the bar and sat,d, "We're not COlaS,we r.e reporters doing a follow:up artmle on da big shoot outya had h.ere da other day. What s cha name?"

"Oh, that's better. The handle is Alice.."

"NicetomeetchaAlice," said Ace. "Two more beers onMarty, please "

"How did ya feel during the shoot out?"

."I thought I was going to die today, that's what kept rtm-nmg through my mind, during the whole thing," said Alice."I'm OK now, but boy was I scared the other day."

SENICH'S

SPORTSCOPE

Knights' Cen er Of IntelligenceIt is the unique athlete who

scores extremely high •n theclassroom and stars on the field.The list is not long when it comesto that type of "joc.k.'• Oh, thereare a couple that qmckly come tomind, .p•ople like Bill Bradley ofthe Knlcks and Pat Haden of theLos Angeles Rams - RhodesScholars and excellent" athletes -but there aren't that many un-fortunately.

There is, however, an athlete atSouthington High School blessedwith that great combination ofbrains and brawn. His name isMike Pallazo and he's the of-fensive center on the footballteam. In a recent PSAT Test (Pro-Scholastic Aptitude Test), Mikescored one of the highest marks in

them out."Mike's sophomore year con-,

sisted of playing some jayvee balland in his junior year h.e go,t ,somevarsity action against •a}oney"when Russ Barry was •njured.Otherwise I didn't play much-lastseason," he stated.

This season Palazzo has been anintegral part of a solid offensiveline for SHS, with the likes •fLarry Celella, Phil DeBischop,Frank Guistiniani, Richard Batesand others. Mike is proud of hisfellow mates in the "pits," anarea that needs hard working, un-selfish players who receive verylittle ink from game-to-game."We have a good group," hejustifiably added. "We've gone upagainst some bigger teams, like

thenation;enoughsotomakehim Bristol Central, but we playeda semi-finalist in the 1977 National some good ball. SpecificallyMerit Scholarship program, against Central, we made some

and more than held our own. (8-8SHS Principal John Gasecki in arecent edition of the Observer,"represent the top half of one per-cent of the nation's mostacademically talented youngpeople."

Mike Palazzo is also presidentof the senior class, a member ofthe National Honor Society andsports editor of the school paper,The Emblem. He was awardedthe 1976 DAR prize, and theChristopher Cronkite HistoryPrize.

When asked what kind of aplayer and young man MikePalazzo is, football coach DamD'An•elo was off and running"Mike is a super kid," Dam com-mented with that twinkle in hiseye. "He is not only bright in theclassroom, but on the field. Marrytimes he will notice something wemight be doing wrong and he'lltell us about it. We make an ad-justment and things are runningsmooth again. And he's a realgentleman with a tremendouspersonality .. what a great creditto our school!"

Palazzo didn't play football inhis younger years. "I didn't evenrealize there was a program forkids when I was young," he toldThe Observer recently. "Andwhen I did, I weighed over 115peunds, so I was ineligible."Weight has always been aproblem for the 5'8" - 215 poundnneman. "He worked very hard tokeep in shape," said an admiringcoach D'Angelo. "I had to do a lotof running thi• past summer ... alot of sprints preparing for thesummer camel And it paid off,"indicated Palazzo.

The Blue Knights' centerstarted his football career at De-Paolo Junior High School wherehe played defefise and offensive

6) and Glastonbury (14-14 tie) wewere really coming off the ball,but against Pulaski we justweren't doing it for some reason.The Pulaski game was afrustrating game for us (SHS lest15-14 and fell to third place in theColonial Conference). I think wejust lost our c0ol in that game, butwe were all putting out "

Asking Mike Palazzo for his ob-servation of recent Blue Knight•ikames finds him saying things

e, "I didn't really see the play."The reason being, he ordinarilywears glasses, except on the field."I just keep looking at thescoreboard when I'm on thesidelines and when I see fourthdown coming up, I put on myhelmit ready to go in. I don't get tosee some of our touchdowns untilwe see films of the game thefollowing week."

However, fighting the weightproblem, not having the besteyesight, doesn't phase MikePalazzo: he just keeps troopingalong, being a success atwhatever he endeavors. His nextassignment might just well be atHarvard. "I'd love to go there,"he said with that far offlook in hiseyes. "But that won't be easybecaust it's so competitive gettingin there. However, I am in theprocess of applying. ,The onlyschool I've formally apphed for sofar has been UConn. Because ofmy high marking in the PSAT I'veheard from schools like MichiganState and Northwestern."

As for Mike's future in football,"If I wind up at a school with aprogram I feel eapable of playing•n, I'd give it a try, but if I go toone of those larger schools, I knowI couldn't play on that level. Right
