Some Friendly Advice To Our Organizers One cannot be engaged in any aspect of the insurance business without a keen interest in the results of the field representatives for their work and enthusiasm are responsible for the growth of our business. You as a salesman for our fraternal benefit society have chosen a dignified career. If you are willing to put in the same number of hours as any other job would require, your remuneration is more than satisfactory. Actually there is no ceiling to your earnings.

The product you are selling is a necessity. It is not a frivolous luxury. Life insurance is just as essential as money.

It never goes out of style, nor lacks a market among people who need it and Want it. Those who sell life insurance are selling money for future delivery.

They are not persuading people to spend but to save — yes to save until that time when each dollar is worth much more to them or to those dependent on them.

All permanent insurance includes a savings or investment element in addition to protecton. The combination of protection and investment savings provide a complete financial program for life, that is insurance against dying too soon or living too long. Thus, an insurance policy can be spent by the person himself if he lives to retirement, or his family can spend from it if earnings are stopped by his premature death.

Statistics of insurance companies show benefit payments separated according to amounts paid to members themselves and amounts paid to their beneficiary, the members receiving by far the biggest share.

The fraternal agent represents a long established society, so that half of the selling job is done. It is a two fold selling job if the society is unknown and that agent has to explain and sell the applicant on the society as well as to infhtence him to buy insurance.

You must also sell yourself to your client, know what you are selling thoroughly, for the applicant must have confidence in you. People buy from the person they know and believe in and like.

Representing a fraternal benefit society in the field furnishes splendid opport Wattles not only for men but for women.

The two fold aspects of our societies with insurance protection and fraternal activities appeal to women. Besides the business of selling, the social associations with the members in the lodge and the community projects supported

VtSTNfIC

by the lodges are worthwhile accomplishments that are gratifying to the field representative. There is a close association between a member of a fraternal society and the field representative.

The members of the lodge are splendid contacts for the fraternal representative who is always welcome when calling upon a member. Your best prospect is already a member of the lodge. This fact is very often overlooked by the fraternal field representative. The advertising of one large insurance company states that sales to present policyholders constitute 60 per cent of the company's sales. In he Febrauary 8, 1957 issue of The National Underwriter the Life Insurance Agency Management Association stated that 79 per cent of ordinary policies was sold to old policyholders.

The idea of remembering a customer after he has been sold would seem to be basic in business, but in the rush it sometimes gets shunted aside because all available energy is being spent in finding new customers.

Too many of our filed representatives are selling membership rather than an adequate amount of insurance to cover the member's needs. They are taking orders for a $500.00 or a $1,000 policy instead of actually selling insurance. More over they seem content to have obtained the member for the society and never interview that member again to see whether economic conditions of the family have changed so that a greater amount of insurance protection is needed.

No doubt the situation in all societies is similar, with relatively few members taking an active part in the lodge activities. These inactive members are neglected by the field representatives who could have wonderful contacts if the representative offered service to these members. There are many services to offer, such as change of beneficiary or addition of a contingent beneficiary, removal of extra premium rating, removal of war and 'aviation clauses, and a review of needs to determine if present policies and settlement arrangements fulfill present requirements. Often a society will make benefits retroactive, such as settlement options or double indemnity, which some societies have done.

Members need advice and help with their insurance. If our representatives will not give it to them, they will buy additional insurance from some other company that will furnish the service.

Probably the lack of success of a field representative is due to the fact that he wants the business but wants to main-

Wednesday, January 7, 1959

Vain his dignity while getting it. He feels it undignified to ask everybody he sees to buy insurance or to go to people's homes to ask them. This representative makes a call, finds conditions not right to make the sale, and forgets that conditions may change within a short time.

He does not go back to check up on the the sale. When he hears that the business was sold by another representative he is irritated at the applicant because the insurance was not purchased from him. I recently read that 80 per cent of all sales are made after the fifth call 48 per cent of all salesmen quit after the second call; 12 per cent quit after the third call; only 10 per cent keep calling and make 80 per cent of the sales. These statistics substantiate the old adage "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Perseverance conquers.

This is one of the best articles we have read from Miss Margaret Walker, Recorder of the Royal Neighbors Fraternity and is well worth reading over and over again.

Aliens Must Register Status Washington — Immigration Commissioner J. M. Swing warned all aliens recently that they must register this month under terms of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. He said there are 2,925,000 non-citizens in the country at present, compared with 2;899,000 who filed registration reports last year.

Aliens can fill out address reports at the nearest post office or immigration service field office. The, penalty for failure to file is a fine, jail, or deportation. )•

Our Goals And Efforts In The New Year Our combined efforts in behalf of our Order should give us all new strength, stamina and will for continued success of our Order.

To obtain pointers on just how to proceed in this enthusiastic work, one has but to look about at those who have succeeded before us and to also look at the others who are just limping along.

Then give this thing some long good and unbiased thinking, talking, without anger or prejudice and then let's go farward in true fraternal fashion toward the goals our lodges have set for themselves this year and for our whole order.

Much has been accomplished in this year just past, in teamwork and harmony. Some brilliant, records were chalked up to the credit of many lodges. It is now desirable for our "limping lodges" to get on the bandwagon and follow suit in the New Year!

Many of our organizers have truly worked hard, and even though some of them did outstanding work, there is still much lacking in some of our lodges for a vigorous and full lodge activity.

Our efforts must not slacken in the coming year!

We must help our lodge organizers everywhere, especially where the membership drive has slowed down, for our own existence's sake. We must replace those loved ones in the membership who have gone to meet their Creator. We must gain, and gain and gain in membership to maintain our position 'among FraternaLs in a growing world.

So our Resolution for the New Year could be one, aiming at helping our organizers. This shouldn't be too hard for any success our organizers have, is your success 'also.

Another problem to resolve for the New Year is to finally convince the minority in our brotherhood that our District Meetings have proven very beneficial to our Order and its work. Creative thinking when brought before the Meeting will stimulate interest as well as good for our Order.

Many good ideas die in the bud, just because someone is hesitant to present them for fear he be judged excentric.

Let's give stole thought to the idea of making our District Meetings beneficial.

It is necessary to prepare your ideas for presentation before hand. Don't be Nils-

VESTNfIC

WEST, TEXAS

led into the belief that one can prepare for a District Meeting in one or two weeks.

Preparation for District Meetings takes time and careful planning if such Meeting is to be effectively conducted. In such meetings, instead of small talk and oratory we should think and turn over ideas in our minds for the success and growth of our order. It takes the participation of all of you who are willing to use your thinking facilities for our order's good.

Let us all realize now in the thinking that our District Meetings should be considered our schooling in fraternalism between Conventions, and therefore, it is necessary to plan and prepare for them.

In a short half day, much cannot be accomplished at a District Meeting, so, for this reason, every moment should be well planned ahead. Good planning requires the District Officers with its membership to prepare ahead for the Meeting's smooth sailing and success avoiding useless talking. rn our lodge meetings, we should discuss points that we wish to recommend to the District Officers for discussion.

Remember that the foundation for a successful district Meeting is planning ahead with the various committee's who are indirectly responsible for the smooth running of our meetings. Problems worked in these meetings could serve our next Convention by presenting them worked out and save much valuable time there. Remember also that every well conducted meeting and its fruitful work leaves a deep impression on the participants there who don't mind the time spent there. On the contrary, they return to their home lodge inspired, with ideas for harmonious work in their respective lodges. Every District Meeting should recognize its organizers for they are an important link id our Order's chain.

It would also be fitting in the New Year, that our Officers from our Supreme Lodge give us sugg,estions cn how to proceed for the good of our Order; what we should do that we are not doing; and now we should direct our efforts for our own good. It should be mentioned in passing that we had very few reports from on: Supreme Lodge officers in our. Vestnik this last year, and we are sure that every message from them would be weic mielt and well read.

Suggestion from our leaders would not only carry wc.4;lit but many subjects in brotheriy debate would be valuable to the membership.

Let's also remember that sincerity, a

Strang 11

good word, yields only good again and that we, brother and sisters, should always act for the good of ourselves and our Order.

Another point I would like to bring out to our sorrow, is that we have some I elatively str r,uL lo. ge . in our orbit who do not elect T.,odge R,....p.irt-ars in their annual elections and while visiting such lodges I point out this negligence as their loss, and they usually come up with: "Well, you have very little in the Vestnik from the officers of the Supreme Lodge, also."

The above presented points have been brought out by request of some of our membership, but I realize, that it is impossible to please everyone and that our Supreme Lodge brothers, too, are reticent because someone again might think they are trying to "Show Off" and therefore, refrain from offering suggestions for the betterment of our fraternal work.

I sincerely trust I have not offended anyone, that the spirit of sincerity in which this was presented meant only good for our common goal.

That we should earnestly work with our Youth in the New Year, I shall discuss with, you in the next issue and until then I ask your indulgence.

s Make The World Better An elderly lady writes: In our city we hold regular meetings and we discuss how we could make the world around us better.

One of the ladies said: Well- adjusted people are working all the time to make the world better. It is un-kind, unhappy and bitter people who make it worse.

They are 'our real enemies. They include communists.

Communists are communists, I'm sure, because they are miserable. Ill-equipped for life and unhappy, they can't bear to see anybody else happy. They slash out and bang things around. In a great upheaval, they think they'll come out on top. They could come out on top any day if only they would fill their hearts with love.

One lady at the meeting said, 'I'm working with the Bowl. We give free concerts two nights a week all summer.

Expensive programs, and we take in a collection. I'm sure the programs make the world better."

"Certainly," agreed another, "I am familiar with the concerts, I would say

Strum 1$ all you people connected with that good project are outstanding better-worlders."

One sweet little lady whose face glowed, said shyly, "I put cookies out for the garbage man."

Everybody laughed. I laughed too, but I was touched. The garbage man is human too. "How do you distinguish between his gift cookies and the —?"

"Well," the lady said: "I put them in a clean box on the top of our trash can with a note stating — These are for you thanks for the service."

We all agreed that she makes the world better.

Again I thought of the Golden Rule — We must observe the Golden Rule at all times. We must keep our hearts filled with love, our heads actively engaged in thinking up ways to help others, and our hands busy performing many good deeds.

Wouldn't you like to join us as we work to make a better world?

Life Policyhcider3 Death Rate Rises Again In 1958 For the second consecutive year, the death rate among life insurance policyholders showed a slight increase in 1958 according to the Institute of Life Insurance. Diseases of the heart and arteries continued to take the majority toll of life with the death rate from these diseases showing an increase in 1958. Deaths from these circulatory diseases accounted for well over one-half of policyholders' mortality in 1958.

Cancer ranked second as a cause of death with the 1958 experience- showing a slight increase over the previous year.

Together, cancer and the cardiovascularrenal diseases accounted for about three out of four policyholder deaths this year.

While 1957 was the epidemic year of Asian influenza, its effects extended into 1958 and were reflected in the year's death rate. Mortality from pneumonia and influenza will again be at a high level, resulting in most part from the high incidences of respiratory ailments prevalent during the first half of the year.

The success In conquering polio was indicated in the mortality trends reported by the Institute, as deaths from this disease reached a new low. The death rate from tuberculosis, once a

serious health menace, was about 75 per cent less than it was ten years ago.

The, life expectancy of the infants born in 1958 is about 70 years. The effective control of the diseases of childhood and early adult life is the main contributing factors to longevity, reports the Institute.

The death rate from accidental causes will show a decrease this year. Accidental deaths accounted for approximately 6 per cent of the 1958 deaths.

New Year Bring3 ed Social Rene_ The New Year will brir o , p?y rr 'l tax boost of about $2 a -acnt l a for , _oit of the 75 million working Americans covered by social security.

For the 12 million persons now on the retired rolls, 1959 will bring a 7 per cent increase in old-age pensio n. checks.

In a related area, admirtrators of private employe welfare and pension funds for the first time must file amrial reports to the government on their trusteeship. The various plans are estimated to be worth more than 30 billion dollars.

The new requirereants in the law are the work of the las +. •-,-sgress.

The new Congrcs3 "..le asked to consider further chan c, .?s. Some members of Congress would like to add medical benefits to social security coverage.

This year's revision of the Social Security Law means that government pension checks mailed out in February will be seven per cent higher than before, with a minimum increase of $3.

The maximum pension for a retired man and his wife, both past 65, will rise from $162.80 to $174 a month. Coup1^s retiring in the future will be able to draw up to $190 a month. For families with a large nunaber of dependents, the 1119 'dal= benefit check goes up from $200 to $251 a month.

The cost of the increased benefits will be borne by active workers and employers, who are required to match their emplovers' tax contribution.

For both, the social security titx rate will go up from 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 per ceht, and the amount of annual earnings on which the tax is levied from $4,200 to $5,88 a year.

This will mean that employes earning the full $4,800 must pay $120 a year starting Jan. I instead of the old amount of $94.50. This works out to about $2 a month. The self-employed worker, instead of paying 3 3/8 per cent

Wednesday, ganuary 7, 1959 on the first $4,20 of his earnings, will pay 3 3/4 per cent on the first $4,800.

The revision of the law also makes it easier to qualify for government oldage benefits and to earn additional income.

In the field of welfare fund reporting, the government is not sure the new law will work out.

When PresiOent Eisenhower signed the bill last year, he predicted it would result in chaos and would require extensive amendment by Congress to make it ci7ective and workable. He also said that the law would require only summe r, statements of fund finances, a Jking it possible to conceal many a: uses."

Koval', Texas Dear Brothers and Sisters: I want t o let you all know that we are still alive, but, oh gee, didn't it get cold! It sure feels rough to get up in the morning but will have to get used to it for a while.

I also want to let you all know what we are doing in our Lodge. Not long ago, we lost a young member; Brother Henry Matoska who got killed in a car accident. He had a very nice funeral and in spite of the cold a large crowd came to pay their last respects. Pastor Peacock of Srnithville, Texas gave an impressive service and the Church choir sang beautifully. Brother John Koliha from the Supreme Lodge of the SPJST spoke. He also represented RVOS in place of the officer who could not attend. Our Brother V. H. Barina made a very appropriate address thanking both organizations for their presence.

Cincere thanks goes to the sisters of the SPJST Lodge as well as to the ladies of their Church for the donation of food -- it meant so much.

Brother Henry Matoska had two brothers and two sisters: Frank Matoska lives in Houston, Louis Matoska lives in Mansfield, Ohio while one sister, Mrs. Gilbert Richard lives in Kirtley and another sister Mrs. Snith, lives in Houston. He also had lots of relatives and friends.

Now about our Christmas 'Party Program: — we had it all mixed up, but somehow it came out allright. For some reason we didn't have a good connection with Santa Claus -- he got there before anyone else — guess he didn't want us to see him — but he left some fruit, nuts and candies for the children.

I heard he had too many stops to make — at least there was more cookies and coffee left for us. I hope he doesn't read t1 -- he just may leave me out next year — he better not! Santa sure was good to me this year and I gues to others too.

I mustn't forget — congratulations are in order for Mr. and Mrs. Will Malina, being grandparents again for their son Daniel Malina.'s house have a baby girl.

Through the Christmas Holidays, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stepan had their granddaughter from Houston visited until Sunday, also our sister Pauline Stasney from Houston visited with her kinfolks.

Our own children were home, but the house is ea'pty :and lonesome now — well, that's the way it goes.

I believe that the Vaclav Barina's had all of their daughters home. I know they sure feel lost: Na crowd no noise.

Wednesday, January 7, 1959 I guess I had better end this or the Editor won't be able to read it. IVly hand hurts so badly it isn't even funny. I Wanted to crank the tractor and that booger kicked me, so now the cold is just dandy for it —it hurts!

If I get any more news, I will write again soon, for now -- so long.

Oh yes, don't forget to put on some more covers tonight — it is supposed to be cold.

Happy New Year, of course, for the New Year • will be here when you all read this 'in the Vestnik, so lots of luck in the coming year.

Corpus Christi, Texas Dear Vestnik Readers: Another year has gone by and all of us will be greeting the New Year 1959.

Here's wishing a Very Happy New Year to the officers of the Supreme Lodge, Editor, Editor's wife and all the readers of the "Herald" On December 21st a Christmas party Was held at the Sokol Hall. A very nice program was given by the Youth Club in charge of Sister Judith Majek. Santa made his appearance and was joyfully wricomed by the children. Bags of fruit, candy, nuts, gum and baloons were distributed to all children and the left over bags were given to adults: Following all this excitement, luncheon was served to all present. There was food of every description, consisting of sandwiches (several kind) cakes, strudel, cookies, coffee, date bars, home made candies, etc. Sister Vera Kucera brought a lazy-suzan loaded with all those goodies (home-made) she always makes at Christmas time, tiny cookies, dainty pastries and homemade fudge.

VESTNtK -- WEST, TEXAS

Today as my husband and I are spend ing, the evening Malone, (girls went to a movie). I am reading the "Herald".

This issue really a pleasure to read, so much good reading that the readers have eon The article that I got most ini eree Led in was "Honor President Thomas Masaryk of Czechoslovakia with a U. S. Postage Stamp." I myself think this is a wonderful idea.

Let's all give a consideration and start doing something about it. It's up to us (Americans of Czech descent) to get interested in this important matter.

Seems to me if stamps were issued to celebrate a particular historical event, in honor of e famous personage, etc.

Why can't we get petitions in local SPJST lodges to serve this purpose?

Let's all think about this and discus this matter in your next meeting. Just imagine what this would mean to the Americans of Czech descent and also to the Czechoslovakian born (now naturalized citizens) of the U. S. A. would issue a stamp of T. G. Masaryk. This way the stamp of the Liberator would be throughout the world, and also behind the "Iron Curtan" and the whole world would speak of the "Great Champion of Liberty."

Readers please take notice of the article in the "Herald dated Dec 24th. It is titled "Postovni znarnka, T. G. Masaryka."

This will be all for now and leave sp a ce for others or the next time the editor will discard my letter to the wastebasket.

Our Lodge No. 25 Ennis had a most wonderful Christmas Teenage party, on December 15, 1958. The hall was decorated beautifully, and we had a very good crowd. Seems like everyone had a nice time, so it made everyone happy.

By the way, this was the last party of the year, made by our last youth leader, Mrs. Dolfie Hrabina. I'm sure she was as proud of the Christmas party, as we all were.

From all of us, preteens and teens, we want to thank Mrs. Hrabina from the bottom of our hearts, for everything she has done for us, May God Bless Her. Our new Youth Leader now is Mrs. Mildred Trojacek .I'm sure everyone knows her, all of us are looking forward to a year loaded down with fun and good times.

I must sign off this is my last letter of the year, and my last letter as your reporter, for the Ennis Teenage Club, Lodge No. 25 serving out the year 1958.

Thank you brother Hosek for putting up with all of my letter and for correcting my mistakes. I also 'want to thank you for the Christmas Card. Some day I may pay you a surprise visit to West as my grandmother lives in West.

This article was written by Leonard Farbstein, U. S. Congressman.

CZECHOSLOVAK INDEPENDENCE DAY AND THE DEATH OF JAN MASARYK Many peoples in Europe have a just undisputed claim to fame and greatness, but none has a larger share in the best traditions than the sturdy and stouthearted Czechoslov,aks. Certainly none has fought more bravely for :enduring human values, for the dignity of free men, and for the preservation of what we regard today as the fruits of Western civilization. For centuries their country, a great citadel of freedom in Central Europe, has been a veritable battlefield of ideas and ideals which eventually shaped modern Europe. For centuries they have been subjected to alien tyrannies, but the undying spirit of, freedom always asserted itself and found a natural shelter in the hearts and in the minds of these tough and tenacious people. In their struggle for national independence they have also championed some of the rrost sacred human ideals: freedom of conscience, the dignity of the individUal, political equally. These ideals have always been inalienable articles of faith for all Czechoslovaks. One of the first religious reformers of Europe, John Huss of the 14th century, was a C_zechoslova,k of undying fame, and one of the 12st great philosopher-statesmen of Europe, the late Thomas Masaryk (18501936), was another immortal.

Czechoslovak independence was the work of many hands: the helpless but brave people sacrificed much; the soldiers gave their lives willingly on the battlefields; national leaders, in their search for aid from abroad, worked diligently, wisely and consistently; and in the end, as the just reward of their unswerving devotion to their national cause. Czechoslovakia was proclaimed as a free, independent state.

Numerous forces contributed towards creation of that state. Perhaps none played as decisive a part as the government and the people of this country.

We in the United States have always supported the Czechoslovaks in their struggle for freedom; we have regarded their claims as just, and their cause worthy of our support. When Czechoslovakia regained her independence at the end of World War 1, we watch with

DALLAS, TEXAS. OTTO L. HOSEK To our readers and fellow sportsmen,

Austin -- The final shot has been fired in the 1958 deer season, with one' of the best years in the history of legal hunting,, according to the director of law enforcement of the Game and Fish Com mission.

The season on white-tailed deer closed at sundown Wednesday, Dec. 31.

Hunters can still take quail, until Jan. 16, and ducks and geese until Jan. 14, according to the director The director also asked that persons killing banded birds deliver the bands to their game wardens for checking purposes.

• Rabbit hunts are back, in style in the Panhandle, according to an article appearing in the December issue of Texas Game and Fish.

Public hunts have been held on the Gene Howe Wildlife Management Area, near Canadian for two years. This was the idea biologists had in trying to cope with high. rabbit populations on the Being a modern refinement of the "drives" of 25 years ago, the hunts are controlled and strictly supervised by Commission personnel. During the first hunt in 1957, 68 hunters bagged 846 cottontails in three days of hunting.

Although cottontails Were not so abnndant in 1958 the hunt Went ahead, but 38 hunters that showed up got only 71 rabbits due to high weed cover. e upcoming hunt in january and February should be very good, the article stated, since the rabbit population is high 'again. Gene Howe Area,•personnel recommended thit "participants bring beagles to flush rabilits fForn the high weed growth.

It is believed that 90 permits will be, available for the 1959 hunt.

ESTNiX — WEST, TEXAS cording to the executive secretary of the Game and Fish. Commission.

"We get reports every day of tremendous catches of trout, red fish flounder, drum and sheephead all along the coast" the secretary said. "Party boat operators at Port Arthur, Galveston, Freeport, and Port Isabel are all reporting heavy catches of snapper. Some very large snapper have beentaken recently at the bank offshore. A few of the fishermen also are reported ling around the offshore drilling rigs.'

Night fishing along the coast also is good at the present time, according to reports reaching Austin. Practically every fishing camp along the coast now has a lighted pier. In many places fishermen themselves have rigged up generating units. They erect these units on the front of their boats, or in boats which they row to favorite trout fishing spots.

"Persons who have never fished along the' coast will find a real thrill in the catches they can make with ordinary fresh water equipment," the executive secretary said. "In some places the fish ing has been fantastic."

The secretary also warned that a fishing license now is required for coastal fishing as well as fresh water fishing, when any kind of winding device is used.

• • This interesting bit of news appeared in the Weimar Mercury last week: Eddie Urbanovsky of Fayetteville did not get his buck last Friday morning, but he didn't come home empty-handed either.

His trophy was a large timber wolf shot from his deersta.nd on the Hoegeineyer Bros. place, where no wolves have been seen until this year.

Mr. Urbanovsky said this wolf and another one were chasing and circling a doe and when he shot the other wolf scampered off.

Fishermen are keeping a weather eye on the Belton Reservoir this year -- hoping the white bass will continue ' to spawn and replace the crappie.

Some people have contended that white bass won't spawn in the type lake Rimed by the Belton dam but each year the white bass population has shown an increase.

The whites are moving into the spawning grounds now and it shouldn't be long before the truth will be out.

The whites on the Highland lakes are still biting good and getting larger by the day.

Most good catches have been 'at Marble Falls at the dam, and should continue to be good for another couple of weeks.

• • Houston — A young hunter lost his life when the rifle he was carrying discharged while he was climbing through a fence. He suffered a .22 rifle wound in the head.

• • Quail releases from the Tyler Quail Hatchery have totaled 54,162 so far this year.

Releases on private lands this year accounted for 28,493 quail. Part of the cost of these birds was furnished , by the landowner.

More than 10.000 quail were left over for release on public lands.

Through a co-ordinative agreement with the Federal Forest Service, quail were released in the Sam Houston, Angelina and David Crockett National Forests. Others were released around lakes Whitney and Texarkana. These are open hunting areas the assistant secretary said, and quail were put there for public benefit as well as experimental purposes.

• • Bids on construction of a fish pass at Cedar Bayou, between Matagorda and St. Joseph's island, have been asked by the Texas Game and Fish Commission and will be opened Jan. 22. The pass, to be four miles long and 80 feet wide at its mouth, can or completed within 225 working days, engineers believe. The pass is expected to greatly improve the circulation, and fishing in the area near Rockport, considered one of the coast's finest fishing spots. Cedar Bayou has for years been famous as a, redfish hole.

• t A proud young lady from Kentucky was trying to justify her state to a Texan. "In Kentucky, we have Fort Knox, where enough gold is stored to build a golden fence three feet high completely around Texas," she said. " Go ahead and build it," drawled the Texan; "If I like it, I'll buy it."

Annual Savings Top $20 Miens Third Year In Row The American people have been providing th.e nation with an example of steadiness and confidence amid the uncertainties of the times by the prudence with which they have been handling their personal financial affairs and making their savings and spending decisions.

Their behavior is the more noteworthy and encouraging in view of the concern created by the economic and inflationary trends of the past two years, combined with the increasing pinch of rising living costs on the average family budget.

While consumer spending has expanded to a new high and thus continued as the major prop to the economy, figures colnpiled by th.e U.S. Department of Commerce show that the people at the same time are ringing up their third $20 billion savings year in a row. In fact, personal savings in the third quarter of this year were estimated at an annual rate of $22.5 billions, one of the best quarters in years and up substantially over the showing in the first half of the year.

The third quarter upturn raised the average savings for the first nine months of this year to an annual rate of $20.2 billions. Total personal savings for all of 1957 were $20.7, billions, according to the Commerce Department, and in 1956 added up to $2.1 billions, the biggest annual total since the abnormally high savings rate during World War II. This newest evidence of the people's consistent thrift-mindedness and voluntary provision for the future is in keeping with the high degree of stability of personal savings since the turn of the current decade. Since 1951 personal savings have ranged between $17 1/2 billions and $21 billions 5 year, and have run from the equivalent of 6 1/2 per cent to 8 per cent of annual personal income after taxes. Consumer spending at the same time has increased steadily year year after year, and in dollar terms is currently over a third higher than it was at the beginning of the Fifties.

Savings are a traditional and timetested anti-inflation antidote, one of the most powerful forces working for a sound and progressive economy and a dollar of stable purchasing power. Along with helping to protect the individual

Wednesday, January 7, 1989 and family against economic impact of death, disability and retirement, savings have become a primary source of the capital funds required by a high investment economy such as ours. Outstanding in these respects are the savings accumulated in the people's thrift institutions, particularly life insurance companies, savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, and pension and retirement funds.

Thus savings play a multiple role in individual and national progress, and therefore, their adequacy and continued growth are of great importance.

Life Companies Mortgage Loans Total $37 Billion Life insurance dollars invested in new mortgage loans were an estimated $5,200,000,000 in 1958, according to the Institute of Life Insurance. This was about the same as last year and 23. per cent off the peak year of 1956.

However, the total .n-iortgage holdings of the nation's life insurance companies rose to their highest level, an estimated $37.000,000,000. This was approximately $1,750,000,000 more than last year. Mortgage holdings represent more than onethird of the total assets of the life companies.

The Institute, currently celebrating its twentieth anniversary, reported that total mortgage holdings at the end of 1958, were more than seven times the aggregate of 20 years ago. At that time, mortgages represented only 19.6 per cent of total investments.

Conventional •urban mortgages on single or multi-family dwellings and. commercial properties accounted for $3,275,000,000 of the 1958 new mortgages, about two-thirds of the year's acquisitions.

This was about equal to last year's new mortgage loans of this type. Total holdings of these conventional mortgages by the life companies reached a record aggregate of close to $19,200,000,000 at year-end, about 52 per cent of total mortgage holdings.

Mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration accounted for new life company acquisitions of about $1,300,000,000 in 1958, nearly twice the previous year's total. Holdings of FHA mortgages reached a new high of nearly $7,700,000,000 or 21 , per cent of the aggregate mortgage total.

Veterans Administration guaranteed mortgage loans to former servicemen,

further extended by Congress, accounted for $200,000,000 of the life companies' 1958 mortgage acquisitions. This was about 76 per cent less than last year.

Total holdings of VA mortgages by the life companies were $7,400,000,000 at the close of 1958, representing about 20 percent of total mortgage investments.

Farm mortgage loans represented the balance of the life companies mortgage portfolio with new acquisitions totaling $425,000,660 in 1958. Aggregate holdings reached $2,700,000,000 or about 7 per cent of the mortgage loan total.

In appraising the 1959 prospects for mortgage investments, the Institute noted that the extent of mortgage financing will depend largely on the public need for home and, property loans based largely upon new construction. ) •4

Stream 27 MISREPRESENTATION OF BIRTHPLACE

Question: I came to the United States as a displaced person. Fearing repatriation to an Iron Curtain Country, I made some misstatements as to the country of my birth. I now would like to be naturalized, but am afraid of deportation. Am I eligible for naturalization?

GIVE YOUR, DAY A BETTER START There is a story of a man whose bed was next to a window. One morning he absent-mindedly got of bed on the window side and fell to the street.

A neighbor noticed the accident and remarked: "That is the last time that old grouch will get out of bed on the wrong side."

Starting the day wrong doesn't often have such drastic results, but it can be upsetting and make us disagreeable. For those not at their best in the morning a few simple rules will held enormously.

1. Take a detached viewpoint -- as if is were someone else's problem.

2. Advise yourself to get out on waking -- no second snoozes.

3. Tell yourself to take a few light exercises. —Try it, lazy — you goad yourself. Experience shows that this helps remove sluggich, uncomfortable feelings.

4. Now a dash of cold water will bring you up — then groom carefully for the clay.

5. Next comes a good breakfast, eaten slowly. "Quit cheating yourself."

Keep your sense of humor and you will enjoy bossing yourself into a better start for a better day.

• CANCER CAN BE CURED IF — Many types of cancer can be cured by surgery, radiation, or a combination of the two — if the disease is detected and adequately treated at an early stage.

Some 1,500,000 living men, women and children who have recovered from cancer are the proof of progress achieved in diagnosic and treatment methods.

One cancer patient in every three is now being saved. With the knowledge we now have, one out of two could be saved by prompt medical attention. And in one of the commonest and most deadly types of disease, cancer of the cervix, we could save virtually every single patient if. The if is a yearly uterine cancer cell examination, performed as part of a yearly health checku p, which the American Cancer Society recommends for all adult women. This simple test enables the physician to practice preventive medicine by detecting and clearing up pre-cancerous lesions. Annual physical health checkups for men and women have helped immensely in achieving the impressive goal of lives saved from cancer. ) 0 (

BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND CHANGE OF NAME Question: When I was naturalized I Americanized my name. My children born before my naturalization, have birth certificates showing my old name. I wonder whether such birth certificates can be corrected to show my new name?

Answer: Yes, such amendments can be made. Since birth certificates are issued by local authorities, the regulations in each state will differ. To find out the pro cedure, a letter should be addressed to the office which has the birth records of your children, with the request that an amendment be permitted. After appropriate forms have been furnished by the office, your certificate of naturalization may serve as proof of your change of name.
