Sabo SUMMER DUE, VACATION TOO Vacations are around the corner — summer starts June 21 — and the National Safety Council offers the following tips: • Get your car in perfect shape. Check your brakes, lights, steering and windshield wipers. • Plan your itinerary for reasonable mileage in one day and write ahead for lodgings. Call it quits fairly early, since nighttime driving is riskier. • Call for frequent intermissions and take a break for a stretch and refreshment. • Finally, have a pleasant, relaxed vacation. Traffic accidents are the number one threat, so drive to get there and back safely. GOOD TO BE OLDER, TOO Meaningful living neither begins at 18 nor ends at 65. The young can be as worthwhile to themselves and to the community as can the old. The secret for that meaningful, worthwhile life begins with preparation. And since the old have been around so much longer, should they not have more to give and to get out of life? I GO TO HEALTH | Good Breakfast, Good Feeling Eating a good breakfast is a good start for the day. Studies have shown that those who have eaten a nutritious meal before starting out get more done than those who skip breakfast or eat a poor one. As the morning goes on, hungry people grow less efficient. After lunch, they do better for a while; then, they slow up again. There is no hard and fast rule on how big a good breakfast should be. But nutritionists say that for most people it is sound planning to have one-fourth to one-third of the day’s food at breakfast and to include a good source of protein, such as eggs, meat or milk. Breakfast is a good time to include some food rich in vitamin C. An orange, half a grapefruit, or half a cup of orange or grapefruit juice goes far toward meeting vitamin C needs for the day. Cereals and bread provide protein, iron and other minerals, vitamins and food energy. An active worker or a growing child can have a healthier breakfast by eating both cereal and bread. Eggs, meat and fish, as well as milk and cheese, provide high quality protein. One or more foods in this group should be included in each meal of the day. Keep on hand foods that are ready to eat or require little preparation. ' Many fruits, juices and cereals, for instance, can be served directly from the container in which they came. Society Leaders Meet With National Fraternal Congress Fraternal Director The National Fraternal Congress Fraternal Director, Harriett Robison visited our Society on March 3, 1984. Ms. Robison met with National Secretary, Gus G. Nagy and Executive Vice President, John F. Kenawell. Secretary Nagy explained our National Fraternal Activities such as our Bowling and Golf Tournaments, and our Scholarship Program. Executive Vice President Kenawell reviewed the local activities of our Branches as well as our facilities and activities of Mt. St. George. Ms. Robison stated that the Federal Communicators Program would be revised and reintroduced for use by all National Fraternal Congress Members. Ms. Robison also reviewed a proposed "National Fund Raising Day" project. This would be a single day on which Societies throughout the country would raise funds for a specific charity. The William Penn Association was congratulated for our Fraternal Activities both on a National level and on a Local Branch level. Ms. Robison asked for literature on our activities for consideration by other Societies. Due to a severe snow storm that day it was impossible for us to visit Mt. St. George. However, Ms. Robison told Executive Vice President Kenawell that she is looking forward to personally reviewing our facilities there on her next trip to Pittsburgh. Little Thing — Important! The little boy broke his bat. He had simply hit the ball too hard and it splintered in two. He tried to control the tears he could already feel hot in his eyes, ready to flow. And when the tears came, his dad rushed to him. “What’s the matter, Joey?” “Look what I did to the bat,” he sobbed. “Must have been a powerful swing, slugger,” his dad smiled, trying to make light of the now useless bat. “No need to cry and fuss over a little thing like a bat.” “What’s a little thing mean?” Joey asked between his sobs. With that, Dad understood. That bat was as important to Joey as a new car was to him. 22
