VERHOVAY SERVICE PRAISED BY BROWNSVILLE WIDOW — A LETTER TO THE HOME OFFICE. — In my deep sorrow I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to 'the Xaticíial Officers of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association for having issued the death benefit after my deceased and beloved husband, John Hudak, within the shortest possible time after his death and to the Manager of Branch 43 in Brownsville, Pa., who called at my home in person to present the check to me. May God bless this noble Association which truly lives up to its premises. I also wish to extend my thanks to the officers and members of Branch 43, and to our relatives, friends and acquaintances who expressed their sincere sympathies to us in the ioss of John Hudak, the unforgettable husband, father and grandfather. I thank those who sent floral tributes, attended the funeral, donated the use of their automobiles and the pallbearers for their brotherly services. _ I acknowldge with thanks the full death benefit issued by the Verhovay I- raternal Insurance Association which I received from Manager Emery Kara. And I wish to take this opportunity to urge all those who are not yet members of the Verhovay to join this splendid organization at the earliest opportunity, because none of us can ever know in advance when the need for help will arise in our lives. The late John Hudak is survived by his widow, the former Julianna Giba, their children, Joseph Hudak, Theresa Hudak, Stephen Hudak, John Hudak and their families,« also by their grandchildren, Margaret, Ellen, Eugene ami Mathilda, in whose behalf I extend my sincere thanks to all those who offered u? consolation and help in our bereavement. MRS. JOHN HUDAK. WHY SERVICEMEN SHOULD KEEP THEIR INSURANCE IN FORCE — Post-war experiences prove the wisdom of maintaining insurance programs adopted before entering military service. — Who would have thought at the conclusion of World War II., that less than five years later the youth of the nation again will be called to serve with the military forces? Yet, there is no escaping the tragic actuality and the tears of the mothers and young brides are of no avail: the Greetings from the President are reaching the young men of military age in daily increasing numbers and there is hardly a Verhovay branch left that has not been called upon to part with some of its finest members. Thus, the problems that arose nine years ago, on that fateful day of Pearl Harbor, are with us again, but while then they found us more or less unprepared, now we have the experiences of World War II to help us over the rough spots. War breeds a feeling of insecurity, especially in young men who cannot know when they will be called upon to leave civilian life. In most instances, this feeling of insecurity is the undoing of the plans which the young men have made for their future. This is especially apparent in the attitude of many a young man toward his life insurance program. During the past tragically few years of peace many of the young men who left the schools to enter upon gainful employment, purchased life insurance. This is as it should be because the possession of life insurance is a sign of responsibility and faith in the future. And it is just these important qualities that are temporarily shaken by the outbreak of each new war. (Continued on page 2)
