J. honoring Branch Manager James Emody, for his faithful service to our Association for the past 25 years. Acting as Master of Ceremonies was Director and State Manager, Joseph Toma. Among the guests were Director and Mrs. Michael Hegedűs, Jr., Mayor Hotaling of East Newark, N. J., Chief of Police W. Knowles. Included among the many telegrams of congratulations was a message from 4 “It can’t happen to me!” These famous last words have been quoted innumerable times by many men and women just before serious disability hit them. The chances of this happening to you is graphically brought out on the opposite page. Find YOUR age group in the top graph. Then, determine for yourself what your chances of becoming DISABLED are vs. your chances of DYING. Note how much greater your chances are of suffering a LIVING DEATH than a CASKET DEATH. Note also that over the 30 year period from age 35 to 65, a man’s chances of suffering a serious disability of three months or more are 1 OUT OF 2! Director and Mrs. Frank Radvany, of Trenton, N. J. Local branches from the surrounding area representing themselves, were members from Branch 48, New York City, Branch 13, Trenton, N. J. and Branch 19, New Brunswick, N. J.

Director and State Manager Joseph Toma, conveyed the best wishes of the National Officers and the Board of Directors to the honored guest and his many friends. Steve Vidám, Br. Pres. What can you do to offset the financial hardships which invariably follow serious disability? Protect yourself through adequate insurance to pay the inevitable hospital bills, doctor bills—and especially, to replace your loss of income. Read the letter one grateful wife wrote a field representative who made sure she and her family were fully protected against the LIVING DEATH: October 17 Dear Ed: I have put off writing this letter because I could think of no words big enough to describe our gratitude to your company and to you. / can well remember wailing, “We can’t afford it” and “We’re young and healthy, we don’t need it,” when my husband came home from work and told me about applying for income insurance with you. We had a little money in the bank which we had been saving for 3 years toward the down payment on a home of our own. 1 had just returned home from the hospital with a new baby sister for our 18- month old son. 1’m sure any woman will understand the way I felt and how the future looked to me when the phone rang on the 28th day of February and I was informed my husband had been badly injured in a fall. My husband was off work a year and a half. I still shudder at the thought of the shape we would have been in without that insurance! Gone would have been what savings we had. I would have had to go to work leaving my 2 babies, and we’d have been thousands of dollars in debt. Instead, thanks to a company that honored a policy only 8 days old, the entire financial worry was taken off us, allowing my husband to just concentrate on getting well. Because we were able to continue saving, we are now in that new home and all our debts are paid. My husband returned to work on September 28, happy and secure. I hope this letter may serve not only as my deepest thanks to your company and you but as a warning to other young couples. Please see that they are protected because “it can happen to them.” Sincerely yours, Helen C. We urge you not to lay aside this letter until you are sure YOUR DEPENDENTS could write a similar letter to your Association if YOU should be the 1 out of 2 who suffers a serious disability before 65! How can you be sure? By picking up your phone right now and inviting your local William Penn Representative to visit with you and to tailor-make a plan of protection for you and yours, against LIVING DEATH. Fraternally yours, Elmer Charles President HAPPY WILLIAM PENN MEMBERS AT THE INAUGURATION OF MR. LEONARD C. STAISEY AS CHAIRMAN OF BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PA.
