FREE INSURANCE

"STAR" ACCIDENT PLAN

GREAT SERVICE TO READERS

For eighteen consecutive years readers of the Auckland Star have been insured against a variety of accidents, under a plan providing substantial payments to injured readers or to their representatives in the event of death.

These benefits will be renewed on July 1 for the nineteenth year, and until June 30, 1946, registered readers who take the Auckland Star every day and who have signed the registration form will be eligible for all the payments included in the scope of the policy. Husband and wife are both covered by the one policy, and, in the event of both being injured, the payments are doubled. Children, too (over six and under 17 years), are included in a special clause and to a limited amount. They are now covered against accidents happening in their school playgrounds. The benefits are real; they range as high as £2000 for death in an accident in a train (£4OOO if both husband and wife are killed), and include payments of £1000 if killed or drowned in a wreck or if killed in a lift accident; £250 if killed in a motor or motor cycle accident, or accident to a tramcar, bus or taxi, or if burned to death at home or at work; £150 if killed by being run over on a highway, drowned while boating "or bathing, killed in the home or killed while taking part in listed sporting events, or if two limbs or the sight of both eyes be lost. Substantial payments are provided for injuries not resulting in death in these cases, together with benefits of £10 in the event of broken limbs being thus sustained. Broken wrists or ankles are now covered.

Altogether the policy is a most liberal one, and the protection it affords has been of inestimable value to those overtaken by sudden misfortune. What to Do Readers who are already registered have no need to apply again; they are automatically covered. Others are urged to give an order for regular delivery, to sign the form, and thus to be in a position to secure the very substantial payments offered in the <event of accident. The registration process is very simple. On page nine will be found one of the forms. All that is necessary is to fill it in and post it to the Auckland Star Office as directed, and the subscriber is forthwith fully eligible for all the benefits. .

In the past thousands of subscribers have benefited by this unique service—no other newspaper in New Zealand offers it—and manythousands of pounds have been paid out by The Prudential Assurance Company, through which all payments are made. The Prudential, with assets exceeding £400,000,000 is the largest insurance company in the British Commonwealth of Nations.

If you have not made this costless provision against accident do it now. Sign the form on page nine and make yourself eligible for promptly made payments at a time when they are most needed.
