HOW? WHY?

.... Because we did not care to live buried alive, to eat

the leftovers from Moscow’s banqueting.

We did not want to keep the silence of the grave nor do

bidding of robbers in that land of ours.

.... We did not want penance for fabricated sins, nor look

at anyone’s cruelly branded front.

We did not want to speak in whispers any more, nor fear

at every knock on our own front door.

.... We did not ivant to yield our treasures to strangers any more and get

the bloody dirt along the Party line.

We did not want to utter mendacious verbiage or fall

to torture-cellars and perhaps to death.

Because we did not want,

because we do not want

to be the trembling, bitter and abused

beggars of a fettered land,

who degenerate, with broken wings,

with broken wills ....

who stroll aimlessly and just gather food,

to exist merely....

No!

That is why ....

LETTER OF THANKS

My dear Doctor Beky:

Thank you so much for sending me your comforting words as well as the cash settlement on your check so speedily, right after my beloved mother’s death.

I do appreciate both your personal attention and the efficiency with which the Federation under your presidency operates. It was good to hear from you. It was a wise thing of my deceased mother to take out her certificate many, many years ago, and to maintain it over these years.

May God bless you and your institution.

Cordially yours,

Mrs. Harold Gaugler, nee Julia Marton Pboenixville, Pa. 19460
