2 INSURANCE AGENTS REPORT Permanent life insurance can be the gift of a lifetime When you imagine the perfect gift for the children in your family, consider permanent life insurance as a legacy gift. Then, think about the impact and simplicity of paid-up for life coverage, which you can put in force either with a single payment, or with premium payments over 10 or 20 years, whichever best fits your circumstances. Properly structured, a parent or grandparent can designate a child as the insured, and as the policy owner once the child reaches adulthood. Brother Randy Clouatre Niece Rd.

4 SISTER MARY ANN'S GASOLINE Sister Mary Ann, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound patients when she ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a Texaco Gasoline station was just a block away. She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas. The attendant told her that the only gas can he owned had been lent out, but she could wait until it was returned. Since Sister Mary Ann was on the way to see patients, she decided not to wait and walked back to her car. She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patients. Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car. As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptists watched from across the street. One of them turned to the other and said, 'If it starts, I'm turning Catholic.'!!
