"There are 309 American cities where $2.6 Billion U. S. Now Number 1,314 life inSurance company home offices rank as a leading community asset," Life insurance companies of the United States numbered 1,314 on June 30 Of this year, an increase of 67 over a year ago and over 700 more than t4in years ago, reports the Institute of Life Insurance. The growth in number of life insurance companies is shown in an analysis of the reports by the State Insurance Departments of companies domiciled and doing business in the 48 states and the District of Columbia.

"The growing security needs of American families and regional population shifts have been instrumental in a record number of companies being established in the past ten years, especially in areas where greater industrial growth has has been experienced," says the Institute. "For example, more than 80 per cent of the life companies started in the 1950's were in the South and West, regions which have shown the greatest rate of life insurance and industrial growth.

"These newer companies have added to the already strong competition within the business, with the result that the life' insurance business in general has benefited by the growth of companies within its ranks."

notes the Institute.

Dallas has 141 company home offices, followed in order by Houston, with 61; New Orleans, 36; Philadelphia, 35; Fort Worth, 32; Atlanta, 29; Indianapolis 29..

There are 37 cities with 10 or more company homeoffices.

Dear Friends, I wonder If You Have Heard This Story?

How many of you have smiled at the farmer in Pearl Buck's story of the "Good Earth?" It seemed to us most strange that a man should buy his coffin ahead of time and take grim satisfaction in looking at the fine box in which he was to be hurried. Perhaps many of us are as strange in our American refusal to think. about death at all.

The old adage "as sure as death and taxes" should have put us in the frame of mind to look forward to our death and to make some preparation for it. Too many of us, hOwever, are like the proverbial ostrich; we dig our heads down into the sand and assume that while death will overtake everyone else, by some strange shift of good fortune, it will never knock at our door.

A Pita!

ThL Year New capital made available for the nation's economy by the more than 1300 U.S. life insurance companies in the first half of the year, amounted to $2603,000,000, a gain of about 9 per cent over the first half of last year, the Institute of Life Insurance reports.

"Aggregate new investments, including those acquired from reinvestment operations, were $8,467,600,000 in the six months," the Institute said "This is a reflection of the growing contribution life insurance funds are making to the dynamic progress of the economy."

The largest block of life insurance policy funds invested during the first six months of the year went into securities of U.S. industrial corporations, railroads and utilities, financing business and industry in an amount of 82,83G,000,000. This was about 6 per cent more than new investments of this type in the first six months of 1957.

New investments in State, County and Municipal bonds in the U.S. showed a 71 per cent gain for the first six months of this year over the` period last year. The,Se acquisitions amounted to $244,000,000 bringing total holdings of this type to $2,521,000,000.

Real estate mortgages acquired by the life insurance companies amounted to $2,338,000,000 in property financing during the first six months of the year. This was an 11 per cent decrease compared with the first half of 1957. Total mortgage holdings, were $35,983,000,000 at June 30, a gain of $763,000,000 since the beginning of the year. ,,*„ • People who say "Let's he fair about this" mean they want you to see it their way.

"What's the trouble, sonny?" the driver asked.

The boy looked so upset, the driver's heart was touched and he gave the lad a free bus token. The boy looked up and on the point of tears whimpered: "And what about my change?"

The high school graduate has estimated lifetime earnings of $189,000 cornpared with that of $70,000 for a person of limited schooling, the SEA said, adding "The high school graduate will earn and spend 25 times the $5.000 invested in his education."

Ennis Meeting Of District III, SPJST Officers of the III District met in Ennis Monday August 18 to plan the order of the meeting of the District which is to be held in Ennis on September 14th.

After formulating the procedure a discussion followed concerning business of interest to the district. The officers expressed the hope that the membership would consider plans for another Youth Day in the District in the forthcoming year's work. They forsee a need of greater cooperation between the district and the organizers, hence a need to plan.

They wish to suggest that a plan be formulated whereby young people in the district can actually help in the growth of the membership. They think a plan such as the one used in Lodge No. ` 84, Dallas, in which the Youth compete for a crown for the young lady who obtains the largest number of new members thereby working with the organizers could be effective on a District basis.

This then is possible business of the day. The officers hope that these suggestions start a trend of thought and that you attend and bring with you many new ideas for district use.

The officers extend a cordial welcome to. Supreme Lodge Officials, the editor, officials and visitors of other Districts.

They urge the district to make this the best and most fruitful meeting yet held.

YOUTH CLUB OUR YOUTH OF DALLAS LODGE 84

Dear Members and friends, This is just a closing and lasting reminder of. ,what we did while we were at Wiley's Dude Ranch, near Grapevine, on our (so far) AnnuaLOuting Vacation.

When we arrived there Friday night (July 25) we were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wiley and one large dog, a great dane named Bouncer, all that was left of a pair of great danes that were there last year.

We were promptly, shown to our respective cabins and got everything unp)eked and in ship-:shape, while some of_ the hands got the wagon ready and piled high with hay - for the hay ride.

Afterward we went for a midnight, 'Moonlight Swim" in their delightful pool. After that most of us \\T1'2 too excited to sleep, so we didn't g et much sleep that night. In fact, most of the 27 kids and five chaperones didn't get any sleep all night,. but just sat up talking, telling jokes, talking and playing cards, etc..

But the next morning,. instead of every one being half dead for' want of sleep, all were full of pep and ready to go. So most of us went horseback riding, about 6:00 o'clock Saturday • morning, which was followed by a delicious and much needed breakfast at 8:30. After that for the rest of the day our time was divided between the pool and eating; drinking, talking, , Walking playing, riding and just plain having fun.

After dinner we went to a reconstructed barn 'where they held their dances; but'sinee there were over eight hundred people there on this particular Saturday night, they sloWly, but surely, started seeping into the barn, so we had no room to dance. So we were forced to move to the wide front porch in front of our cabins where we enjoyed our own private dance quite thoroughly. After that the people from Grapevine and the surrounding t countryside began to go home so we could go for a short dip before bed., and I'll guarantee that every

Our sympathy to the bereaved. ) • A • t IN MEMORY OF OUR FRATERNAL BROTHER, STAN VYDRZAL, Our entire community was saddened and shocked when we learned that our brother Stan Vydrzal had passed away.

It was on Sunday morning, August 3rd that the message came. We could not believe it. We somehow felt that it could not be true, because all of us thought so much of him; he was such a good neighbor and friend.

Nevertheless, it was a cold fact and we had to resign ourselves to the regrettable reality. It happened so suddenly; he got sick about one o'clock that Sunday morning with a severe pain inside. The doctor who was hurriedly summoned did what he could and started arrangements to send him to a hospital, but Stan died before the ambulance came to get him.

We all were sorrowed so much, not only because he left so suddenly while still so young (only 37 years) but especially because we all have liked him. He was one of those rare persons who by their good disposition, fair dealings and friend liness, naturally command respect. He had endeared himself to all who came in contact with him because of this good quality that he had. He was one of our

Strana 25 lodge officers, serving his forth term as our Financial Secretary, to the satisfaction of the whole lodge.

His family belonged 100 per cent to the SPJST. He and his children always participated in our plays, programs and even in our district programs. His stepson Jene especially, being a very good musician, is a big help to us.

Stan Vydrzal was a veteran of World War II. He served with the famous 101 Airborne Division, Co. E. 327th. Glider inf., which won great fame especially in the Battle of the Bulge.

He was wounded several times, twice . very seriously, and I believe he was one of the most decorated men from this part of the country having received for Service Beyond and Above the Call of Duty, The Good Conduct Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, Bronze Arrowhead, Purple Heart with an Oak Leaf Cluster and several other badges.

His remains lay in state in the Marrs Funeral Home Chapel in Smithville, until Wednesday morning August 6th, when he was buried in the Oak Hill Cemetery, the Rev. Henry Reseda! Jr., officiating.

Brother Joe Koliha Jr., of the Supreme Lodge and Brother V. H. Barina of the SPJST local lodge also participated in the funeral services in behalf of the SPJST Order.

The American Legion and VFW participated in be half of the veterans' organizations. The United States flag was presented to his wife, and the last farewell of Taps was sounded for Stan Vydrzal.

Pall bearers were: Chas. Hribek, Frank Stepan, Felix Volcik, Jerry Stepan, Jerry Otahal and Ed. Zimmerhanzel.

Stan Vydrzal was the son of the late Dominik Vydrzal of Cistern, Texas.

Those who mourn his passing are his wife Victoria and two small sons, Leroy, 9, and Billy 8, a stepson, Gene Grohman and stepdaughter Barbara Grohman, his mother MrS. Dominik Vydrzal of Cistern; eight sisters, Mrs. Mary Weir of Austin; Mrs. Helen Williams of New Braunfels; Mrs. Beatrice °What and Mrs. Libbie Otahal of Cistern; Mrs. Frances janecek of Ft. Worth; Mrs. Pauline Ha y -elkandMrs.VictoaM hof Rosenberg, Mrs. Georgia Wooldridge of Stafford and one brother, Jerry Vydrzal of Milwaukee, Wis., all of whom attended the funeral.

He also leaves many other relatives and hosts of friends. The large attendance at his funeral, the many beautiftil flowers were proof of the high esteem which he had among his many friends.

May he rest in peace.

Wednesday. August 27, 1058 COLD BOTTLE FOR BABY? The ritual of warming baby's formula (a task repeated about 1,400 times during the first eight months of an infant's life) may be a waste of time. Dr. John P. Gibson of Abilene, Texas, began to look into the effects of cold formulas after a tired young mother, who had given her baby his bottle right out of the refrigerator when she was dead with fatigue one night, asked him if she had done wrong.

Dr. Gibson watched the reactions to cold formulas of 150 babies from fifteen hours to several months old. About half the very young infants accepted or preferred cold bottles; about three-fourths or older babies perferred formulas out of the refrigerator. The cold-bottle babies thrived, grew normally, in all ways did as well as those who took warm milk.

A tired Texan drove up in front of his house, stumbled out of his car, collapsed in a porch chair and gasped: "Oh boy, is it hot! I thought I'd never get out of that car."

His wife asked why he hadn't rolled down the windows. "What," he shouted at her, "and let people know we don't have an air conditioned car!"

Yung Willie had a research composition to write and he appeared quite bewildered by the whole thing. His father was helpful. He told the youngster that the thing to do was to make the right kind of start on it, and then it would be easy. "What," asked Dad, "is the first thing you •should do?"

There Are Doctors, and Doctors I was gratified when honored with the title of "Doctor" I didn't get a great deal of use out of this title, and around home. I must admit it ins't taken very seriusly. Shortly after my degree was conferred, some practical joker called my home, pretending to seek professional services in a dire emergency where medical skill was clearly indicated. The phone i was answered by our maid, and I chanced to overhear her part of the conversation. " Yas, sah, dis hear is Dr. —'s residence. Oh, sah, I is afeared you has make a mistake, He's a doctor all right, but he ain't de kind of a doctah whic'h does anybody any good.'
