Woodmen of the World: Insurance Fraternity in Winchester
The Woodmen of the World WOW chapter in Winchester dates to 1901 with 50 local members. Field reps Hamman Clark and Wanda describe WOW as a non profit life and mortgage insurance society that avoids door to door selling, relies on member referrals, and pays dividends to members. The group supports youth units, civic services, and values character, with policies reviewed by members. The WOW logo is a tree stump symbolizing remembrance and mutual protection.

1000 Lawsuits Against IUD Maker Robins Over Calkon Shield
In the early 1970s the Calkon Shield intra uterine device was promoted as safe but faced about 1,000 lawsuits as women claim it failed and caused harm. Robins faced 800 settlements or dismissals and 180 written complaints. A Denver case yielded $6.2 million punitive damages. Some suits are still pending in Detroit and Iowa.
