Thanks are due also to fellow'-member Louis Kubik. Manager of Branch 201, whose intervention and tireless efforts had greatly contributed to making the presentation of the last two heroes’ portraits an event of unmatched impressiveness. The two portraits presented on this occasion were that of Verhovay’s 156th and 171st fatal casualties in World War II. T/4 Andrew Piter, Jr., a member of former Branch 396 (now 201), was born in Star- Junction on December 22, 1921.

Dillinger, Tournament Secretary, Phillips Masley, Stanley Skreski, Ralph Dillinger, Jr., and Harry Beilby, all of Pittsburgh, Pa. To no avail did Stan Skreski warn the photographer that his face would bust the camera. And he was wrong, too, because it didn’t, though it may have burned the film which showed only what is faithfully reproduced above. We greatly regret the accident, because we wanted a picture of these men who had done a grand job of running the tournament along the safe and true course of A.B.C., and W.I.B.C., rules and regulations. “Pop” — whose picture appears elsewhere — wms the captain of the tournament ship, John Brannan ruled the deck, while Ralph Diliinger Jr., manned the bulletin board when not checking and adding scores and handicaps with Messrs. Masley, Skreski and Beilby in the third floor tournament office. How to invite depression A man lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes so he read no newspapers. But he sold good hot dogs. He .put up signs on the highway telling how good they were. He stood by the side of the road 'and cried: “Buy a hot dog, Mister.” And people bought. He increased his meat and bun orders. He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade. He got his son home from college to help him. But then something happened . . . His son said, “Father, haven’t you been listening to the radio ? There’s a depression on. The European situa-ATTENTION ALL PARENTS! NON-MEDICAL PAYOR BENEFIT INSURANCE AVAILABLE TO APPLICANTS UNDER AGE 35 IN SEVEN STATES All parents residing in either of the States Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia or Nebraska, are informed that hereafter, when Juvenile Insurance is applied for and PAYOR BENEFIT protection is requested, it will NOT be necessary for the PAYOR to submit to a medical examination if the Payor is not over 35 years of age. In applying for non-medical Payor Benefit protection, a new Form “Adult Application For Juvenile Payor Rider” must be used and each and every question thereon must be answered specifically and in full. If the form is properly and fully executed, it shall be used to determine the PAYOR’S insurability upon which the PAYOR BENEFIT can be granted. However, the Association reserves its right to request a complete medical examination when it is deemed necessary. We trust that many parents, relieved of the necessity of submitting to medical examination, will take advantage of this new privilege when insuring their children in the Verhovay. Remember, the PAYOR BENEFIT rider will keep the juvenile insurance certificate in full force until age 21, or prior maturity, without further payment of dues, in the event of the PAYOR’S death. The Payor Benefit clause protects your £ child's insurance at nominal cost. Consult your branchrmanager for I further details. Steps have been taken to secure the approval of the Insurance Departments of the various other states in regards to this privilege and our readers will be duly informed of further developments. Until then the above announcement is in force only in the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Virginia and Nebraska. THE HOME OFFICE He Likes His Job...

The domestic situation is worse.” Whereupon the father thought, ‘Well, my son’s been to college, he reads the papers and he listens to the radio, and he ought to know.” So the father cut down on his meat and bun orders, took down his advertising signs, and no longer bothered to stand out on the highway to sell hot dogs. And his hot dog sales fell almost overnight. ‘You’re right, son,” the father said to the boy, “We certainly are in the middle of a great depression.” The Milwaukee Realtor.
