Mattie Branch 296 The end of September has brought to a close the membership drive that' was in progress since construction was started on the NEW Verhiovay Home last year. At that time a total of 200 new members was promised to the National officers. Unfortunately, it must be reported that this goal was not achieved. However, all is not so bad as if isounds. According to the latest count) by Field Supervisor Gus Nagy, a total of 170 new members was signed up with about $225,000 worth of insurance written. This kind of business is pretty good considering the area from which this branch can draw new business. It is especially more significant when we recall that the mighty city of Toledo, in its pretournament membership campaign two years ago, had only a goal of 100 new members. No doubt that much more could have been accomplished had there been better cooperation from our members and had the economic picture been brighter. I wish to thank all of our good members who recommended new members and who assisted in achieving this impressive record. These members are to be congratulated and they should feel proud that they have done their share in this membership drive. I wish especially to thank President John Palla for the many new members he personally wrote and whithout whom this drive would not have been succesful. Appreciation is also due to Steward Melvin Mathabel and to Field Supervisor Gus Nagy whose efforts were important too in achieving our results. Whén the membership drive was started, it was announced that; prizes would be given to members with the most new members recommended. However, for some reason or other since that time, these prizes were not mentioned. I am therefore giving the following prizes to those members who made the 111 f * i í * I * II i f l í I * M f S' most recommendations to me, but the new members must be in good standing for at least six months: First Prize: $25.00; Second Prize: $10.00; every member who recommended at least two new members: $3.00. * ¥ * Meeting Change The time for the regular branch meeting held every second Sunday of each month has been moved ahead to 3:00 P.

C *9 —-----------------------------------YOUR HEALTH The important thing is to have circulating air when sleeping. Leaving the bedroom door open or opening a window a small distance will suffice-especially in very cold Weather. There are many old-fashioned misconceptions about sleeping. , It is not true thät night air is unhealthy. In industrial communities, night air is cleaner and healthier than day air. Regardless of how inactive the/ body seems during sleep, it is actually the site of considerable activity. BRANCH 15 — CHICAGO, ILL. By: Andrew Janovics, Vice-President SENTINEL
