United States citizen in 1958. During the past fifteen years worked for the Office Supplies Department of the Rexall Drug and Chemical Company. He is the assistant Chief Elder of the Hungarian Reformed Church of Hollywood and the Managing Editor of the church newspaper “Egyházi Hiradó”. He was awarded a gold medal for ten years of faithful Federation service. He sees a challenge in the ever increasing competition from the commercial insurance companies and the constantly improved insurance coverage given to the employees by the employers. He claims that “the counterbalancing of these requires not only a constant alertness, but also an enhanced pace in locating and following through with prospective members.” Recently he went through surgery and we are happy to report PROSPECTING WEEK Monday: Make a list of everyone you met this past weekend. These include owners and employees of shops and stores who waited on you. How about old acquaintances you ran into, friends of your wife and family — anyone who is not already a policyowner? Tuesday: Looking for a good daytime market? Make a list of policyowners’ wives and call on them today about mother insurance. Or, now that school is out, sell insurance on the children. And don’t forget those Class 62 sales. Wednesday: Go back through the records and pick out five of the “almost sold” prospects and give each another chance to buy. This might be just the day when the extra effort will make the sale. You know the old saying, you’re at your peak in the middle of the week. This also applies to policyowners. Maybe they’re in the mood to buy. Thursday: With the cost of college going up and up, check clients about college education funds for the children. These warm days, prospects block and look for those telltale signs that children are in the home—toys, games, etc., scattered hither and yon. Friday: Review files of clients to whom a Planning presentation has been made. Contact them on taking another step toward completing the program they a- greed was necessary to meet their family’s standard of living. Saturday: Whom do you know who is “on the road” during the week, or works such long hours that he can’t be caught at home except on weekends. Today may be the only chance you’ll have to reach them. It could prove a profitable few hours of your time. Poor Public Relations At Fault? Most of the people in the world have never heard of Moses or Jesus. On the other hand, most people have heard about Mao Tse-tung, Lenin, Marx, or Kosygin. The propaganda war is real and remains more effective than bullets. — SOCIAL SECURITY — ANNUAL REPORT OF EARNINGS 1) If a person works during a year and earns just $1680 (or less) that year, he can receive all of his social security checks for the month of that year and he does NOT have to file the Annual Report of Earnings with Social Security. 2) If a person receiving social security checks — including retired workers, wives, teen-agers, students, etc. — worked and earned MORE THAN $1680 during a year, he may still be entitled to some of his social security checks for months of that year, but not ALL of them. He must file the Annual Report of Earnings with Social Security before April 15th of this year so that we can determine how many checks the individual was actually due for 1969. The important thing for you to remember, however, is that — built right into our law — is the provision that Social Security will use the method of computing these “benefits deductions” (or lost benefits) which permits the greatest amount of benefits to be paid to persons who have had these earnings in excess of $1680. Ways With Women Mrs. New Driver stuck her hand out the window for several moments and an observant traffic officer cited her for . . . * Waving to a friend on the sidewalk to show off a new bracelet. * Making a left turn after signaling stop. * Feeling the breeze to determine if it might rain. * Flicking the ashes from her cigarette. * Pointing out a new dress in the department store window. * Making a right turn after signaling a left turn. * Trying to pat the helmet of a man on a motorcycle. * Watching her finger nail polish dry in the wind. that he is on the road to recovery. In the early part of 1969 he promised to meet his quota requirement 100%. He did better: 104%. As we pray for his health, we look ahead toward his very valuable dedicated services for his church and for our Federation. Rt. Rev. Arpad George, Secretary A second thing to remember for Social Security recipients who earned more than $1680 last year is that there may be a penalty charge (equal to at least one check) placed on persons who do not file their Annual Reports by the April 15, 1970 due-date. If, during 1969, you notified Social Security that you planned to earn or had already earned more than $1680 that year, you will automatically receive a pre-punched IBM-type Annual Report form from the Payment Center which issues your checks. These pre-punched cards are so useful to us that we want everyone who can to wait for thee cards to come in the mail before requesting Annual Report forms (which will be un-punched) from local social security offices. However, if you have not previously notified Social Security that you earned or planned to earn more than $1680 during 1969, or if you have not received your pre-punched card by the end of February 1970, you should contact your nearest Social Security office and request an Annual Report form. That office will help you prepare the Report if you need help and will tell you where to mail it after you have completed it. * Cleaning her side view mirror with the palm of her hand. * Stopping and parking without signaling. * And she forget her license. How many violations can one woman violate behind the wheel of a car? Editor’s Note: This was written by a man who still can’t drive a car . . . Question of the Month I do hereby give thanks for my failures, for without them, how would I recognize success? WHIZ QUIZ A man had an old ten dollar bill and a new one in his wallet. Which could buy more? The old ten dollar bill, of course. The new one, would have to be increased by nine others to equal ten dollars.
