REPRINT From: THE DETROIT NEWS — June 22, 1961 Shifts From Insurance The State Department of Insurance yesterday issued a statement warning the public to be wary of proposals urging them to cancel insurance policies for other types of investments. State Insurance Commissioner Frank Blackford said “individual policy holders are being approached to cash in their life insurance policies so as to have funds for other types of investments which offer glib promises of more lucrative returns in a shorter period of time.” “Policyholders should check carefully alternative choices before cancelling any policy for other investment purposes,” he said. The same problem was discussed by William P. Worthington, president, Life Insurance Association of America, in a speech yesterday be-Bring 2-Front Warning fore 200 insurance executives and underwriters at the Pick-Fort-Shelby Hotel. Worthington said that at a recent meeting of the National Association of Life Underwriters policy replacement headed the list of problems submitted by insurance companies. “The interests of the policy owner rarely are served by replacing a current policy with new insurance,” he said. “The attractiveness of an old policy as an investment increases as the policy grows older. “Since the costs of selling and issuing a policy are charged against the premiums paid in early policy years, the replacement of an old policy requires the policy owner to pay these costs twice.” Worthington urged his audience to “sell the insurance business” — WILLIAM PENN PROMOTERS One of the most enthusiastic and active groups of women in the William Penn Fraternal Association is the Ladies Auxiliary of Branch 132, South Bend, Indiana. These fine women, pride of their branch and ever doing good in advertising the William Penn name, recently held their annual benefit cärd party and hat fashion revue, a fact noted in the local newspapers. Shown are a few of the Auxiliary members. Seated, left to right, are Mrs. Virginia Bacsa, general chairman, Mrs. Edward Gasko, associate chairman. Standing, left to right, are Mrs. Wendell Lukacs, president; Mrs. Victor Benzur, tickets; Mrs. Joseph Sari, refreshments; Mrs. John Bobelenyi, decorations. rather than mutual funds — as a means of family savings. Chairman of the Home Life In-A HUNGARIAN DAY, under the auspices of The Committee for the Hungarian Room, Cathedral of Learning, University of Pittsburgh, was held on Sunday, May 7, 1961, at 3 p. m. in the Stephen Foster Memorial Hall, Oakland district of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Hungarian Room Committee operates under the able and longtime leadership of Dr. Samuel C. Gomory, prominent P i 11 s b urgh- McKeesport Hungarian physician who is the Medical Director of the William Penn Fraternal Association. Dr. Gomory and his group have enjoyed success after success in their Hungarian cultural programs, and even very bad weather and a major baseball game at nearby Forbes Field, the latter fact making other car parking virtually impossible, failed to hurt the essential success of the HUNGARIAN DAY, though the veteran Chairman of the Hungarian Room Committee felt that the two factors prevented greater attendance. We reprint here the greetings of Dr. Shepherd L. Witman as expressed by Wynfred Joshua, for these fine words, we believe, fully convey anything that we might have added about The Committee for the Hungarian Room and its very enthusiastic leader, Dr. Gomory, whom we pride among the officers of the William Penn. Finally, we happily report that every Hungarian Room program is attended in large numbers by members of our society. The address: “On behalf of the University of Pittsburgh I welcome you to this program of the Hungarian Room Committee. I bring to you the greetings of Dr. Shepherd Witman, who regrets that he cannot be with us today and who has asked me to exsurance Co., of New York, Worthington spoke before the Detroit Life Underwriters Association. tend to you his l>est wishes for a successful program. “I am delighted to . see that so many of you have come out to join us this Sunday. This is not only because you wish to see a program of high quality — and I know from experience that the programs of the Hungarian Committee are always of excellent caliber — but also because it is an evidence of interest on your part in what we all believe to be a vital undertaking. And that is to bring to the Pittsburgh area something of the cultural heritage of your country of ancestry. To share with the members of the university community and the citizens of Pittsburgh the cultural and artistic values of Hungarian life is indeed a worthwhile and important pursuit. For Hungary has made significant and enduring contributions to the mosaic of world culture. You, by being here today, are fulfilling the proud assignment of promoting a deeper appreciation of the Hungarian artistic tradition. “Do not look upon this performance today as a one shot affair, for it is a part of a series of programs designed to show the various facets of the Magyar cultural patterns. Last year we had the delightful show of the Cleveland Gyöngyös Bokréta, I understand that some of them are here again this afternoon. Then we saw the ballet performance of the members of the former Hungarian Royal Opera ballet. And today we will have a program of music. Hungarian artists will play and sing some of the most beautiful] Hungarian compositions. I hope we may continue to count on your support. Thus, on behalf of the Univer-i sity I welcome you; on behalf of the University I also thank you for what you are doing for the cultural life of this city.’: Committee Sponsors HUNGARIAN DAY Joan Szentendrey — one of the dancers at Hungarian Day Program.
