Miss Margaret Kovach 14 Cleveland, Ohio BUCKEYE STATE WATCHTOWER We really appreciate a letter from one of our National Officers, it brought back fond memories when he signs it “Ex Animo”. Thanks. Our meeting date for April will be Sunday the 7th 1968, at Kossuth Hall, East Blvd. and Buckeye Rd. at 2 P.M. President Yuhasz invites all Branch 14 members to come to the meeting because important issues will be discussed. The officers and Yours Truly want to take this opportunity to wish each and every member and their families a Happy and a glorious Easter. There is a persistent rumor that the William Penn and the Hungarian Reformed Federation are going to merge? Lets get that down-town office going. Happy birthday to all members who were born in April. Ed Torda acts as parliamentarian at all Br. 14 meetings. John Medve Br. 14 member is the propietor of the Hun-INCOME PROTECTION IS LIKE A PARACHUTE This thought occurred to me the other night as I watched a TV show which illustrated how daredevil airmen leap out of their planes and plummet to earth. Waiting until the distance between them and tbe ground is hazardously small, they finally pull the rip cords of their parachutes, and float gracefully to earth. Even as a spectator, I find this hobby hair-raising! Then the thought occurred to me. “Income protection is like a parachute.” The “income-jail” you sustain when disability cripples your ability to work is no less hazardous no less hair-raising than the airman’s fall from the heavens. In fact, if you should become disabled without disability income insurance “strapped to your back” so that it comes to your rescue as you fall from your present standard of living to want and deprivation, you may find your fall even more hair-raising! At least, if you should fall out of the skies without a parachute, it would all be over, mercifullyquick. However, if you become disabled and fall down the “income-chute” — from Comfort, to Want—you find yourself lingering on. You find yourself suffering the torture of the damned. You know deep in your heart that you could have taken steps to prevent yourself and your family from crashing head-on into financial disaster. If I were to ask you to buy a parachute now, as you sit comfortably in your chair, reading our National Magazine, you’d probably think I was a little silly. But — picture yourself at 40,000 feet in the air in one of today’s super jet airliners. You are just as comfortable as you are now, zooming through space at 600 miles an hour. garian Village. Frank J. Lausche five time Governor of Ohio, now U.S. Senator also a Br. 14 member. Joseph Kovach our treasurer is also the Chief Storekeeper. We salute St. John’s Hungarian Greek Catholic Church and St. Elizabeth’s Roman Catholic Church upon their 75th anniversary. They have contributed in many ways to the community, and the Magyar culture. To the younger element we wish to remind them that it was the William Penn, then the Verhovay, who donated to the Hungarian Culture Gardens what was and is known as the Verhovay Gate over twenty-five years ago. There was a parade and members had Doughboy Caps donated by William Penn. A gala time was had by all. (Continued on page 7) Suddenly, the pilot’s voice comes over the intercom and excitedly announces that the plane is disabled. You are heading for a crash! Would you be interested in buying a fool-proof parachute at that very moment? You bet you would! So would I. In fact I’d probably pay anything to get myself strapped into a parachute harness as soon as possible! Disability income protection is just like that. It’s better to have it and NOT need it, than to need it and NOT HAVE IT! Now, if YOU — and not the airplane we mentioned before — should become disabled, WHAT AMOUNT OF INCOME COULD YOU DEPEND ON TO “BREAK” YOUR FALL down the income-chute? Will your employer continue your salary? How much would he pay? For how long? Would you be able to qualify for Social Security disability benefits? If so, could you weather the six (actually seven!) months which you are required to wait before that first Social Security check reaches your hands? Would you have any other source of income to replace the former source — MAN-AT-WORK — which disability will cut off? How about disability income insurance? Do you have ANY? Do you have ENOUGH? You should find the answers to these questions. Now — before you find yourself falling down the income-chute. We have asked our William Penn Insurance Representative in your area to help you find those answers. Invite him over. He is trained to work out in careful detail a tailor-made “income-parachute” which will break your fall down the incomechute if YOU should be unfortunate enough to suffer a serious and long disability. Don’t procrastinate. Statistics show that 1 out of every 2 men now age 35 will be seriously disabled at least once before he reaches age 65. Some are unlucky enough to suffer more than one such disability. And, on the average, such long-term disability lasts two and one half years! Without an adequate disability income plan “strapped” to your back, how would YOU make out if you should be the one out of two who is disabled? Invite your local William Penn Representative to review your situation. DO IT TODAY. Fraternally yours, Elmer Charles President 4
