September 30, 1943 Verhovayak Lapja P eace Says JOE CSIKÓS -The cool, shaded spot beckoned so invitingly, And after the scorching day in the city The rippling sound of the near-by brook Whisperingly seemed to tempt and soothe me. What mortal could resist such temptations? The struggling within me abruptly ceased, And I decided not to resist any longer As I entered the vale remote from man and beast. Though the day was rapidly drawing to a close; And I still had so many things to do, I seated myself in this rare spot of beauty, Drew a deep breath; relaxed to enjoy the view. The faint murmurings of the breeze in the trees Quited me; soon lulled me to sleep. The cares of the day rapidly disappeared As I sighed and fell into a slumber deep. In that peaceful nook I started to dream A vision as clear as the skies above me. I saw Jesus sitting with His disciples, And the word He spoke I could, hear plainly. My diary — Sept. 4, 1943. 9:00 A. M. Got up 10:00 A. M. Went to sleep on couch 11:00 A. M. Wakened, yawned; milkman came 12:00 M. Had lunch 1:00 P.M. Mailman brings catalog 2:00 P. M. Went to the movies; saw “Blondie”, “Manila Calling”, “Popeye”, “Prevues”, “Batman No. 6.” 6:00 P.M. Read the papers 7:00 P. M. Played 9:00 P. M. Started to work on column. INFO I received a tip from my friend (s) that a new oil alcohol replaces sugar. That’s why you get more. “Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled” were the Comforting words He spoke to His men. The world even in which Jesus lived Was already, as today, a world of sin. “Ye Believe In The Father; Believe Also In Me”. What complete faith portrayed in those words! A faith that is so utterly immovable In this grief-stricken, war-torn world. “I Go To Prepare A Place For You, “That Where I Am, There Ye May Be, Also”. A wonderful promise given to all mankind, That still shines today with an inspiring glow! You may say that it was just a dream; But it’s a dream that is hauntingly real. And it filled me with that unearthly peace Which nothing, no, nothing can ever kill! MARGARET “CHRIS” FACT j God’s real name is I AM! Several passages in the Bible verify this. Newsprint Mistake: “I am in great mistery,” he said to the doctor. Don’t say mist-stake, but say mistake. j I saw in an Akron journal I pictures of women dressed j in white, who were working in their gardens. I don’t exactly call this work. BARA I sail Miss Americas: no lipstick, no powder, etc.; old clothes (of course). (Note: To those who are interested. — The opening verses of the 14th Chapter of St. John were the inspiration for this poem. MCB.) ________________ SEPTEMBER Oh, to sing, oh, to sing, Coming in on a wing, Out of the blue; With a prayer on my lips; Then to sing, again to sing. September days are bright and clear; School days once again are here; Haystacks in our fields reach high, For the bright warm sun to dry. Csikós Courier. Collecting phamplets is one of my hobbies. Many treats are there in store, Day by day, there’s more and more; The rich and golden tender corn, And pumkins will be ripe one morn. The boughs with ripened fruit are bent; The air is filled with sweetest scent; September brings the autumn flowers; Children’s hearts sing through the hours. And in this month we bid adieu To summer days and summer dew; One early morn we saw on high Wild geese to the south-land fly! WANTED Housekeeper wanted to take care of home as though it were her own.

Phone: McKeesport 6535 TIPS It’s all right to play with dolls when you are a little boy. But it’s very expensive to play with dolls when you are grown up. A man was arrested for taking a handful of peanuts off a stand. The charge was impersonating an officer The meanest man I ever heard of, was the man who put a tack in the seat of the electric chair.

The man soliciting for new members must have a well-balanced business head on his shoulders, possess a certain degree of daring and his judgments must be sound. The Society he represents must be one that has grown from year to year and has a promise of future greatness. He must have ability and resourcefulness and a feeling of responsibility; for if he has not ability he is unable to draw new members into the fold; if he has not resourcefulness he has not the capacity for finding means of achieving success in the insurance field1; if he has not responsibility, he is not able to meet obligations. When he approaches a new prospect, he should know how to describe the various kinds of certificates which his Society has to offer, so as to leave no doubt or confusion in the mind of his prospect as to what kind of certificate would best suit his requirements, and the amount he should purchase. He must be assured that the certificate he is choosing is the best one for him. It is an investment that will be used to help him through a period of illness, when he is unable to provide for himself. And when the time comes for him to leave this life, his widow and orphans will be well provided for. It will be a token of loving kindness which will serve to remind those left behind, that their loved one had their best interests at heart, providing for them now for the time when he could no longer be with them. These are the points the man selling insurance should keep uppermost in mind when speaking to a new prospect. By doing this success is more definite and the new member benefits through contact with a fraternal association that extends to him a welcoming hand.
