Page 4 August 29, 1940 To the Kind Attention of the Junior Branch Managers k DIVIDENDS OF THE JUNIOR MEMBERS Our Board of Directors decided at their March meeting that they would issue dividends to the Junior members having fifteen and twenty-five cent policies. In accordance with this decision, every Junior member is eligible to this dividend if his policy has been in force for three full years up to December 31, 1939, and his monthly dues paid up to date, including September 1940. Such Junior members will receive three monthly dues as dividends, which means that the three monthly dues, that is, for October, November and December, will be credited to their accounts. We again, and emphatically, call the attention of the parents and the Junior Branch Managers to this decision, requesting them to collect the monthly dues in arrears before the end of September, so that the children may receive their dividends. The Following Can Not Receive Dividends: a) Those having policies dated February 1937 or later, since these policies were not in force for three full years at the close of 1939. b) Those having policies dated January 1937, or previous, and in arrears in monthly dues at the close of September 1940. Therefore, eligibility for dividens is not determined by the fact that someone’s policy is three years old NOW, but that a policy was in force for three full years at the close of December 1939, that is, last year. The issuing of the dividends will be based on the results of last year’s business, that is, the one closed on December 31, 1939. For that reason, only those can share in it who have been members of the Junior Order for three years up to December 31, 1939, and are not in arrears at the close of September, 1940. BE SURE TO HAVE ALL BACK DUES PAID UP BY THE CLOSE OF SEPTEMBER! Collection of Insurance Literature The Hartford College of Law and Insurance promises to become the repository for the largest collection of insurance literature, G. W. Lillard, the librarian, has made the announcement. We have in some of the cities very excellent collections of books and literature on the subject but they are found to be not all embracing. That is, there may be many books and pamphlets relating to certain classes of insurance and not to others. It will be the purpose of the Hartford institution to assemble in its library copies of insurance material that has been printed either in booklet or pamphlet form. Thus the students at this particular school will have a guest advantage in being in close proximity with this valuable library which will enable them to produce valuable research work. The college makes another important announcement and that is that all speakers who talk on insurance will have their lectures recorded and copy of discussions made. It would be of great advantage to the fraternity at large if the Hartford college could arrange some way whereby its insurance material would be available to responsible students throughout the country. THE HURDLES OF LIFE ON HIGH Stop praying that the hurdles of life may be lowered. Save that breath that you waste complaining about things as they are. If you ever are to go over the top it must be with the top up there where it has to be climbed to and struggled ever. It isn’t going to come down to your level. Be thankful that the hurdles of life are there. Rejoice in the fact that they are higher than most people like to jump. Be grateful for the fact that there are so many of them. It is those hurdles that give you your chance to work your way to the front. They are your friends, your allies—they trip up the horde that would outstrip you if those hurdles were not there. The hurdles of life are set out for a purpose. Their height, their frequency, their eternal in-the-way-ness are a part of the grand scheme Verhovayak Lapja WHAT LIFE INSURANCE CAN DO FOR YOU 1.

THE AMERICAN WAY—AND DOLLS By BETTY CAROL BALEGA During these days of a world torn asunder by war and seemingly never ending strife, it is with a bit of amazement that we turn from these disasters and face the realization that to children there are still such very important objects as dolls—dolls to be held tightly in tiny arms, to be loved and cuddled, dolls that encourage the finer instincts in little hearts instead of hate and fear, and dolls that are now being used as part of the educational system in our American schools. Miss Olive O. Jury, M. A., widely .known art supervisor and authority, has acquainted me with the latter fact through her unfailing efforts at child psychology. Her collection of over seven hundred dolls in addition to other objects d’art has been very extensive, and has, at one time or other, touched upon all points of the compass. Olive O. Jury, a graduate of Shamokin High School and Wilson College, received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, and attended the Cleveland School of Art, Bucknell University, Bloomsburg Teachers’ and Edinboro State Teachers’ Colleges for graduate work; later receiving diplomas from of things. Take them as they come and with a prayer for the nerve-power, heartpower and leg-power to negotiate each of them as you come to it. —The Radiator the famed Tony Sarge School of Marionettes and Puppets and the Dale Carnegie School of Public Speaking and Human Relations. Not content with such an impressive scholastic background, Miss Jury traveled on to Mexico where she participated in Special Art Training at the National University of Mexico, and studied under the personal supervision of Mexico’s famous artists, Diego Rivera and Luis Hidalgo. The dolls, for which she has become famous, are used basically as a fundamental foreground of art projects, ^ith the students’ imaginations painting in the background native to each doll, as they themselves picture it. I had the opportunity of studying under Miss Jury for four years, and readily say that this recent departure from the old accepted forms of teaching art enlarges the perspective and helps to develope a wider imaginative and creative scope on the part of the students. A child’s natural love for these counterparts of humanity changes what once may have constituted a drudgery or chore into anticipation and eagerness for the art sessions. In the cool depths of her doll museum we find representations in native garb from every country and nation imaginable, each passively regarding his or her neighbor. Complete tranquillity reigns. Here we find the shell dolls from Florida, the hanging moss from Mexico, Indian dolls with mummified heads, the coal doll from Pennsylvania, the English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Italian, Canadian and, most colorful of any, the Hungarian and apple dolls from the State of Washington. Yes, I said tranquillity reigns, and what an excellent example of America itself, where tolerance and the pursuit of happiness are the keynotes of living, is this doll museum of Olive Jury’s. What a modern Utopia we would have if such a situation could be achieved in actuality not only in America but in the rest of the world!--------------O-------------VERHOVAY HOME TO BE DEDICATED AMIDST FESTIVITIES Crescent, Ohio In connection with the dedication of the Crescent Verhovay Home on September l, 1940, there will be a banquet in the good Hungarian way and dancing to the music of Medve and Sikora, of Youngstown, Ohio.
