Mindful of the close significance that the meaning of Labor Day has to the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association, we respectfully and fraternally dedicate the little poem below to Verhovay’s laboring classes, who constitute the bulk of our membership What wholesome accomplishments the working classes can attain when united sincerely and worthily is tellingly exemplified by our solid and progressive Verhovay, which was founded and is sustained largely by the laboring classes. MY JOB The same old route, the same hour, too; The same old job at the journey’s end. But oh! I’m glad I’ve work to do, For labor is ever man’s greatest friend. Grateful am I that I have health To accomplish the task the day may bring; Perfect digestion is better than wealth. Off to work—let’s whistle and sing. Nice to think, as I step along, A job is awaiting my hands and brain. It’s my look-out if this work goes wrong. Whatever the weather, come shine or rain A few minutes more and I shall see My own little job, with its merry face, Patiently, trustfully, waiting for me, At the very same hour, in the very same place. —Exchange. LIFE INSURANCE Life insurance means that a certain sum of money has been paid to the loved ones when they shall find themselves in new conditions, brought on by the death of the insured, These con-To Our Contributors Contributions intended for the September 12th issue should be in before or on September 7th. , No, guarantee of publication in particular issue can be given for material received after that date. r, -'i ditions often present üiemselves when we legist expect them. It is well to be prepared at all times, but these preparations must be made while there is an opportunity to do so. Life insurance in times like ours is of far greater importance than during periods of prosperity. A family left without support in times like these has to cope with greater difficulties than otherwise. Therefore, protection is of greater importance when money and jobs are scarce.

This both delays forwarding of the mail to us and involves additional bookkeeping, thereby increasing the expenditures and delaying our replies to you. Please ascertain that all mail addressed to the Home Office is sufficiently posted. DON’T SNUB Don’t snub a boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Thomas Edison, the great inventor, first entered Boston, he wore a pair of thin yellow breeches, although it was in the middle of winter. Don’t snub a boy because his home is plain and humble. Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, first lived in a log cabin. Don’t snub anyone; not alone because some day they may outstrip you in the race of life, but because it is neither kind nor right. mented on your foresight if you are well protected in these times. While you may find it hard to make payments each month, hang cm and set aside something every month. It is well to have something for a rainy day. It gives us a great satisfaction and peace of mind to know that our loved ones are protected. Whatever may happen, they will not be denied the ordinary comforts of life. Life insurance is a factor of great value. While money will not compensate for the loved one taken away from us, it will nevertheless help to make our burden lighter. When we can leave our loved ones fairly well provided for, we may consider ourselves well repaid for any sacrifice made. North Star. “NOSTALGIA” The hour is dusk and slowly shadows fall, Purple shadows deep as heather bloom; And softly dreams long past begin to call, A silver thread that brightens up the gloom. A silver thread that catches up the hours, The ends each held in dexterous hands of Fate; Woven like a fragrant chain of flowers, Or string of pearls, each calling for its mate. The hour of dusk, I set aside travail, All cares and joys of long ensuing days; While thoughts of home once more my heart assail, Nostalgia fills me in a dozen ways. The creeping tendrils close upon my heart Like loving hands whose grasp is oft too tight; Tears fill my eyes, remembering each part Of home; then falls the sable cloak of night. The rustling of an angel’s wings on high, As wrapped in fleecy clouds he worries lest The star-dust from them falling gently by Awakens dreams and keeps me from my rest. —Betty Cctol Balega. CONTESTANTS SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE NOW Several issues ago, near the opening of summer, we called the attention of our 1940 Membership Contest entrants to the coming good weather which would make the securing of new members into our organization a much easier task and a more pleasant one. Now, with summer coming to a close and autumn weather, especially the latter part of fall, very uncertain, we strongly advise our contestants to utilize this remaining month or two of clement weather conditions to the best of their abilities, by working extra hard to fill in the lulls which will of necessity be created by later bad weather. Pleasant, warm days always find prospects more willing and more inclined to talk shop; while dreary, dark days put them in negative moods; in fact, to such an extent that “prospect" no longer applies to them. These are but natural reactions to surrounding conditions, and are easily understandable. Verhovay contestants, seeking the best means of securing new members for the Association and increasing their points toward winning one of the forty-nine awards to be made the early new year, should remember these facts to facilitate their progress in the Contest. And too, we can not ignore what is even more important to the knowledge of the contestants — that people are working much better now and that times are continuing upgrade. The only reason some of the prospects turned us down when we visited them months ago is because they had little or no work. Now most of these very same people are back to work getting full time. The Contest entrants should not be deterred from speedily going back to them, for, once signed up, these people will better understand the real value of insurance, and will put insurance on their “must be" list henceforward. t There were personi, whom we did not see at all because at the time the thought transpired they were absolutely unemployed, and we figured it would be a
