SMILES LATE DELIVERY At two o’clock in the morning a woman telephoned the manager of a large department store. After much ringing, the manager asked with a sleepy and gruff “Hello.” ‘‘This is Mrs. Jone.s,” said the woman in a gushing tone. “I just couldn’t help calling you personally to tell you that the hat I bought at your store last week is simply stunning! I don’t know when I’ve liked anything so much!” “That’s all very fine,” yawned the manager, “but, lady, would you mind telling me why you call me at this hour of the night about a hat you bought last week?” “Because,” she replied sweetly, your truck has just delivered it.” The newly-weds had just got off their train. / “John, dear, said the bride, “Let’s try to make the people think we’ve been married a long time.” “All right, honey,” was the answer, “you carry the suitcase.” The file clerk entered the office of the Japanese naval commander and bowed. “Oh, Honorable One.” he said. “I have completed new, simple filing system you requested. Only four files are now needed for Whole Japanese navy.” “Very good,” said the commander. “What are they?” "Very simple,” said the clerk. They are: Building, finished, sinking, sunk.’’ “Egotism is the anesthetic which nature gives to deaden the pain of being a darn fool." Columbus found a hemisphere, But could he find a residence here? “If you don’t stop playing that saxophone, you’ll drive me crazy.” “You must be crazy already— I stopped playing an hour ago." LIFE INSURANCE IS GOOD PROPERTY Within The Reach of All Life insurance is not a rich man’s investment. It is available on terms within reach of. every income bracket. Purchase payments remain level, and unpaid balance is automatically cancelled in case of death. Absolutely Safe Value is at all times permanent. Present and future values not dependent on market fluctuations. Yields Ideal Income Income is certain because of ab- . solute safety. Income is guaranteed as to rate and duration. Yield is high per dollar of investment. No Maintenance Expense No expense of any kind to the purchaser — no taxes, repairs, depreciation, nor time spent on management. No expense to heirs for administration — no costs of collecting and managing the property. Easy To Control Under absolute control of purchaser — unless he arranges otherwise — and always saleable for a ] guaranteed price. Subject to virtually absolute control of purchaser ever after his death, without expense of trusteeship and even without a will. — Great-West Life Bulletin.

Branch 164 | ■■■■■■■■ By Midge Rettmann Gone, though not forgotten, is the XXI. National Convention and now. at last, this column can be returned to the pages of the Journal. There were several items which should have appeared weeks ago, but due to lack of space because of preeonvention reports, they were omitted. Perhaps it is still not too late to mention them at this time. There is an absolute dearth of news items for this issue; Of course, our Senior Mgr., having spent three weeks of the last month in Pittsburgh, has been busy on other duties since his return. However, because the Minutes of the XXI. Convention, appearing in the next issue, again would leave no space for this column, the few items we have had left over from our previous writings will have to do for this report. Starting, as usual, with the Stork Club we have Mrs. Paul Kantor, whom I - > ' -AuJU .jlu we hope to welcome into the folds of the Branch together with the new-comer whenever it arrives, and — your columnist. Gary Allen Rettmann will have a playmate shortly after the New Year at which time Mama will retire from this column hoping that by that time, at the very latest, a new reporter will have been appointed. As these lines are written, Mrs. Marvin Kunstadt is still waiting, but we hope to be able to announce the stork’s selecion of the K’s in the next issue. Wedding Announcements. August 16th was the day for nuptial festivities for two couples of our group. Mary Margaret Philip became the bride of Theodore A. Feifar at St. Henry’s Church, with a reception held at the Norske Club. Also, Betty Bachonski and Andrew Gyenes said their “I do”-s at St. Petei-’s Church, followed by a family supper given by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Maar, mother and foster , father of the groom. Our congratulations and best wishes to the newly weds! Chit Chat To our great regret, serious illness in the family caused the postponement of the wedding plans of our Barbara Kovack. Since that was some time previously, we hope that arrange ments will be culminated in the near future, if they already haven’t been. Vacation records show thst the Albert Tury’s spent some time in Colorado, while the Fodor's, of the Modern Beauty Salon, together with the senior Kantor's visited in Wisconsin. Edward Kubany, whose modern cocktail lounge«- is one of the showplaces of the city, spent two weeks visiting his relatives in Europe. Aittravel made the trip possible and do we envy him! t We were very happy to have as our guests in the Convention City several of our Chicago friends. The senior Kunstadt’s, Marge ®and Lou Fodor, Ni- and Mi«. Barna, spent, P few evenings with us. Margie Fodor came down by plane to attend the Dance of Chapter 117 of the American Hungarian Relief, Inc., and to comfort her delegate husband in his exile. We were sorry that she soon had to return to the Windy City preventing her from being with us on September 16th when we celebrated the first birthday of Gary Allen who was enchanted with the gifts of Margie and Lou, and óf his godparents, the Kunstadt’s. The many and various remembrances and gifts from our Chicago friends are acknowledged with sincere thanks. It was with sincere regrets that we bid them all adieu and Godspeed. We hear they made their return witfi nothing more serious than a clogged fuel pump to mar the pleasure of their travels. As the autumn social season makes its beginning, we hope to have some news of our members in our next few columns. Until then, I am Fraternally yours, .Midge. NEWS From The Field PITTSBURGH, PA.
