FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS AND ESPECIALLY CORRESPONDENTS: Effective August 15, 1973 we are moving the deadline for material to be published in the following issue of the Vestnik to THURSDAY. Improvements at the Ceehoslovak Publishing Company are being instituted, and various other reasons, force us to advance the deadline in order to meet the new schedule. We hope our correspondents will understand and will arrange their mailing schedules to conform to our new policy. We appreciate your cooperation and are looking forward to working with everyone to make our Vestnik an even better publication than it is today. • • The Fall District meetings are just :around the corner. Remember the District II fall meeting this Sunday, August 19th, in American Legion Hall in Taylor. • • Want to forget? If you would increase your happiness and prolong your life, forget your neighbor's faults. Forget all the slander you have heard. Forget the temptations. Forget the faultfinding and give a little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends and remember the good points which make you fond of them. Forget all personal quarrel or histories you may
LIFE INSURANCE. . Doesn't add to a man's problems; it subtracts from them. Isn't adding a new liability; it is adding a new asset Isn't a mortgage on future income; it is a guarantee of future income. Isn't getting ready to die; it is getting ready to live. Isn't more spending; it is more saving. Isn't sentimental nonsense; it is sensible sentiment. Isn't taking life from living today; it is putting living into life tomorrow. Isn't only a duty; it is a privilege and an opportunity. Author Unkn have heard by accident, and which, if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are. Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeahles of life. They will come, but will only grow larger when you remember them and the constant thought of the acts of meanness, or worse still, malice, will only tend to make you more familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yesterday, start out with a clean sheet today, and write upon it, for sweet memory's sake, only those things which are lovely and loveable.
Life insurance protection is different from anything else in the world. Other things you can get when you want them and more particularly when you need them. Life insurance must be obtained when you need it least. You can buy your rubber shoes when it begins to rain. You can purchase your overcoat when winter arrives. You can step into a restaurant and eat when you are hungry, but you cannot get life insurance when you are sick. Nine times out of ten you do not buy a thing until in some way or other you feel that you need it. You cannot rely on any help of that type when it is a. question of getting life, insurance for your family. Protection for your home can be obtained today cheaper than tomorrow or any other , day ahead of you. The need of your family, the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death should be the guide of everyone in the matter of home protection. Today is your day and mine. The only day we have. Let us play our part manfully, now. We are here today, Now is the time. • • Food for Thought ... Has this ever happened to you? A Vermont-bred housewife moved with her family to Virginia and a few days after her arrival visited a market in quest of a favorite food item always known to
