To people
OVER 65
and to their sons and daughters ■
Metropolitan has developed a ww series of policies covering
expen»e of hospitalization which will be issued at all ages 65
and over. These policies can mean a great deal to the peace of
mind of senior citizens and their tamilics in time of need
brought about by age or sickness.
The premiums on these policies may be paid by the older
people themslvcs—or by their children who may have the
ultimate responsibility for hospital bills. And—under present
income tax laws, these premiums are treated as medical ex
penses of the taxpayer or his dependents for purposes of Incoma
tax deductions.

Wilbert (Skeeter) McClure,
who meets Luis Rodriguez in the
first Friday fight in the Gar
den in over three years this Fri
day (Oct 18th) wants to be the
middleweight champion and he’s
going about it like he was seek

McClure, a full - fledged schoo'
teacher with a master's degree
in education, figures he’s in his
junior year as a title aspirant
and will be ready to graduate to
the 160 - pound title about this
time next year.
"When I sacrificed a teaching
career for boxing,” said the 23-
year-old Toledo (Ohio) middle
weight, ‘1 promised myself that
I would try for four or five years
to win the middleweight crown.
If I saw that it was not within
my reach by that time then I
planned to give it up and start
teaching."
At his current rate Me Gure
may beat his time schedule. A
little more than a year ago he
fought his first ten - rounder and
has done nothing but win ever
since. Since he began boxing for
a living in 1961 Me Clure has wan
