By Elmer Charles “HOW 5 UNIQUE ADVANTAGES OF LIFE INSURANCE CAN BRING PEACE OF MIND AT THE STROKE OF A PEN.” 1. By Guaranteeing A Steady Retirement Income. A couple can get more pleasure from their later years when their life insurance provides a steady income guaranteed to last for both their lifetimes. 2. By Guaranteeing Family Protection. Life insurance lets a man protect his family right from the start. For life insurance guarantees, at the stroke of a pen, a sum of money far greater than most couples could save in many years. 3. By Assuring Funds for College. ' By figuring in advance what it will cost to give your children a college education, you can make sure — through life insurance — that college expenses can be met. 4. By Safeguarding Your Home. With life insurance, a man can safeguard the home his family loves by owning a policy which takes care of any unpaid mortgage. 5. By Enabling You to Accept New Opportunities with Confidence. You know, in advance, exactly how much money will be avail­able in your life insurance at any given time. Secure in this knowl­edge, you feel free to accept the risks of a new opportunity more readily. “WHEN SOMEONE’S COUNTING ON YOU . . . . . . YOU CAN COUNT ON LIFE INSURANCE” HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE TRACED Scholars searching and studying the origin and the Magyar people have been diligently going back far into history and piec­ing together traces of information that seem to place the Hun­garians as far back as the Sumero-Akkadian period thousands of years before Christ. While there are some who may scoff at this theory, the re­searchers are convinced that in their scholarly pursuits they will eventually be able to put together a fairly comprehensive story of the Magyars, antedating by far the present unbroken history of the Hungarians since their entry into present day Hungary, the area identified by the Romans as Pannónia. Whether patient investigation will turn theory into fact is still a big question and will be for perhaps many more years. A periodical on this subject has been published by Dr. Julius Zoltán Nádas, a William Penn member affiliated with Branch 45 in Cleveland, Ohio. Editor of the publication is Joseph Lázár, philologist, and members of the Avashi-Burbur Magyar Fraternity are the associate editors. Anyone wishing further information should write to Dr. Julius Zoltán Nadas, 1425 Grace Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio. Husband-Wife Literary Team Continue Writings For some years now Eda and Richard Crist have collaborated in producing worthwhile books although each was originally in professions other than writing, she an actress and he an artist. Eda and Richard, who now live in Woodstock, New York, are members of the William Penn Fraternal As­sociation. They are the parents of two children, Deda, a freshman at Syracuse University, and Ricky, a high school sophomore. Eda Crist is best remembered as the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Szécskay, one of the most influential and prominent Hungarian families of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. George Szécskay, who died several years ago, long ago attained national fame as a professional Hungarian Amer­ican poet, writer and leader whose place is assured in the annals of Hungarian America. Here follows a listing of the Eda and Richard Crist publications: Excitement in Appleby Street — Childrens Press, Inc. 1950 Chico — The Westminster Press 1951 The Good Ship Spider Queen — The Bobbs Merrill Company, Inc. 1953 The Cloud-Catcher — Abelard- Schuman Limited 1956 The Secret of Turkeyfoot Moun­tain — Abelard-Schuman Limited 1957 The Broken Horse Chimney — Abelard-Schuman Limited 1959 The Queekup Spring — Abelard- Schuman Limited 1961. FREEDOM ENDANGERED Frank Stanton, president of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys­tem has come out strongly against the bill which would sharply raise the postal rates for publications. He did this, even though broadcasting would not be directly affected because “if the freedom of one medium is endangered so is the freedom of all others.” The effect of the increases would be nothing short of calamitous — and particularly so in the case of smaller ma­gazines and newspapers. Mr. Stanton used this striking ex­ample of that fact: “Last year four well-known publications — Harper’s Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, Catholic Digest and Saturday Review — operated with a combined net profit of $56,000. If the proposed postal rates become law, these four magazines would have to pay $535,000 more in mailing costs — ten times more than they earned.” Actually, the post office was never designed to operate on profitable or break-even basis in every phase of operation. Its basic functions — carrying the mail and publications — serve an essential public purpose, and have a legitimate claim on public financial support. Where a dent could be made in the deficit is in a function which is not basic, which is purely commercial, which is com­petitive with self-sustaining, taxpaying private enterprise, and which makes no contribution to public information, enlighten­ment or education. That is parcel post. Its rates should be raised to the point where they honestly meet all the costs of providing the service — direct and indirect alike. “TO PRODUCE CHARACTER” The American people, to their great credit, want their chil­dren to have better educations than they ever had. Unhappily, this attitude has led to excesses of pampering and luxury which in no way serve a true educational goal. Many modern American school plants can be accurately described as palatial. Gigantic sums of money are spent on em­bellishments (including athletic facilities which would do credit to the Olympic Games) which may be handsome but are certainly unnecessary, and which divert needed money from worthwhile projects. Worse, they lead to the advocacy of such dangerous and dubious “solutions” as federal support of education. The famous, centuries-old English schools do it very dif­ferently. Take, for instance, Gordonstoun School. Its standing may be judged by the fact that Prince Charles, son of the Queen, has been enrolled there. UPI’writer Growald gives us a glimpse of it: “Charles, the future king, will be in for quite an experience — from cold showers at dawn, mountainrescue operations as a hobby, boiled potatoes every day, menial housekeeping on Satur­days, to nights in an unheated dormitory room in the frosty north of Scotland.” Gordonstoun’s founder expressed the school’s purpose in three words: “To produce character.” In this country, we may not be willing that our children should follow anywhere near so spartan a regime. But we should be willing to recognize that all the costly frills and furbelows that have infected so much of American education stand in the way of producing the educated man — and the man of character as well.
