PAGE 10 MARCH 27, 193' ■VfrhovayQkJbpja-The Real Value of a Human Life Appraisers can easily esti- cus, fairs, expositions or mate the approximate value amusement parks. * His one of Real Estate, Buildings, Automobiles, Machinery, Live Stocks, Bonds and Business Enterprises, but it is most difficult to actually compute the real value of a Human Life. The great American humorist. Bob Burdette, in his lecture on “The Rise and Fall of the Mustache” compared the farmer’s opinion of the value of his adolescent sons and daughters with the value of the horses, mules, cattle and fowls that were herded in his barns and coops. Each evening the farmer sees to it that the stable doors are securely fastened and locked, and jf he imagined during the night that thieves had broken into his barns or that one of his domestic animals had wandered astray, he would immediately rouse the household and servants and have the neighborhood searched at once for it costs money to replace a single pig, goose, duck, turkey or hen. I On the other hand, as soon fts the farmer's son attains the age of sixteen or perhaps eighteen, he is permitted to have a kev to the front door and no one seems to care j" st where or how the youth spends his evenings and nights. As the rounds are made at sun-down to make Sure that no stall in the barn js empty, no v isit is- made to. the lad’s bed-room to ascertain whether he is safely housed for the night. In other words the farmer is so busy taking care ol his domestic animals that he has no time to consider the moral.welfare of his children, for the reason that he realizes the financial value of his live Stock. THE GREATEST ASSET WE POSSES ! These days almost every sane person carries a full line of insurance upon every thing he owns and would not Consider insuring his home or business block for very expression seems to be “'Hurry, Hurry, Hurry” and again it is “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry.” We should indeed hasten to increase pur insurance up to at least somewhere near the correct amount, for tomorrow may be too late, and after all is said and done, there is no time like the present to apply for additional insurance, THE MIGHTY TRUTH During the month of March, 1936, America was being very much distressed by floods and other disasters. This year we are appalled by the terrible school house calamity occuring in the Lone Star State of Texas. No one can dare to prophesy just where we may be tomorrow^ or the next day. We are fast and surely learning the mighty truth of the expression, “The Young may die. but the Old must sooner or later eventually cease to exist any longer." We can only live in hope that after we have departed into the Great Beyond. we will not be compelled to suffer remorse or other punishment, because of oür neglect and failure to see to it that our beloved ones and dependents have been protected against dire I want, distress, suffering and misery on account of our untimely death. These days no sane person should neglect or even postpone the securing of sufficient life insurance. The older a person becomes, the greater will be the amount of the 1,evei Premium which hé must pay when he secures additional life insurance. In a very great many cases the poor than 25 Years, Ten Thousand Dollar Insurance sounds much larger than a $50.00 monthly income yet the orte is equivalent to the other, and if you are planning to leave more than $50.(X) monthly, income for a longer period than 25 years, you should see to it at once that your life is insured for more than Ten Thousand Dollars. JUST REWARDS — On May 31. Verhovay will arrive at the conclusion of her SECOND HALF OF A CENTURY GIGANTIC MEMBERSHIP DRIVE. and within the past eighteen months many thousand of new members have joined our Association during the conducting of the two membership campaigns. On the 24th of next July, twentyfive Verhovay members will sail from New York on the magnificent S. S. Europa as guests of our Association. They have been doing excellent work and rendered loyal service during the recent campaign, and they Will receive their just rewards, for Verhovay will gladly entertain them until thev reach Budapest. I would like to impress indelibly upon the minds of our Verhovay members the most important idea that Life Insurance should be bought and not sold. .When you buy something, you go to get it. instead of waiting for the other fellow to bring it to you. Too many men keep waiting for someone to sell them life insurance.This reminds me of a boy I once knew very well. His father sent him to the employment office of a factory or mill that was hiring men and boys by the dozens. Although he left early in the morning, he did not return homje until late in the evening, and he was certainly a most discouraged and disgusted lad when he reported to his father that he stood the whole day on the pavement in front of the door of the employment office and he saw lots of people goingin and out of the bidding and not a single person invited him inside or put him to work. Now is the most appropriate and proper time for Verhovay members to immediately increase their own individual insurance and also to persuade our new members to not only hold on fast to that which is good, but also to realize the great importance of their also increasing tHeir insurance with Verhovay. HEART INSURANCE Fraternal Beneficial As sociations issue what ha: most aptlv been termed “HEART ' INSURANCE’ when they insure HAZ ARDOUS . RISKS a STANDARD RATES They issue Life Insurance a the actual cost of the same and they find it absolutely necessary to keep this cos: down to the rock botton minimum, in order to com pete with the large insur ance companies that receivt sufficient profit to pay salar ies to their premium collect ors who make weekly visits to the policy-holders homes and solicit additional insur ance. Let us consider a local Verhovay lodge or branch that has a membership oi one hundred carrying a total amount of Eighty Thousand Dollars Insurance Protection,, No doubt it would be most difficult or almost impossible to increase the membership of this particular lodge to. one hundred and fifty or two hundred members. Still if each of the present members proceeded to buy sufficient extra insurance to come anywhere near reaching the actual and real value of his life, this same one hundred members I condition of a man’s health make.-, it utterly impossible for him to secure additional insurance at any price whatever. Furthermore the state taws provide that a person’s age changes six months after his birthday, and the amount of dues is much less than its real value, j computed from the age nearand yet most of us forget est birthday rather than the that the greatest asset we I List or the next, and, of can possible posses is our | course, the older a person is own life and health which DANCE can never he replaced. 1 During the recent depression. many found it absolutely necessary to reduce, and in quite a few cases even when he becomes insured, the higher his level rate of dues w ill be.
