SMILES You: “She wore a dress to match my eyes.” Me: “Where did she get a bloodshot dress?” “He didn’t say ‘Let’s get a marriage license’ in so many words, but he did say ‘Lend me two dollars until pay day.’ ” “They not only give you a pension in this office, but you age here more quickly.” Boss: “Yes, you’re invaluable to us, Courtney, but we feel that $32.50 a week covers that.” GIVE red Cross Perhaps women are poor drivers, because their husbands taught them Low to drive. A residential neighborhood is a place where a man’s neighbors will keep an eye on his wife when he is away. Many an overworked housewife would like nothing better than to strike while the iron is hot. The easiest way to fold a road map is differently. Peace: A short pause between wars for enemy identification.

He joined the Workingmen's Sick Benefit Federation February 1, 1946, purchasing a $1000 policy. When the Workingmen’s Sick Benefit Federation merged in 1947 with the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association, Barna of course was transferred and soon became a member of Branch 39, Beaver Falls, Pa. As time went on young Barna reached the military age. Joining the nation's rapidly expanding military forces, he eventually went to the world's sorespot, Korea, There Barna fell in battle March 17, 1952. The military status of Barna entitled the beneficiaries to a payment of only tiie monthly dues and the interest there of. But the March, 1952 Directors’ Meeting reviewed the Korean situation in its effects on Verhovay, and decided that it could open its heart magnanimously — yet with financial safety — to the beneficiaries of the Korean dead. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Barna, the beneficiaries of heroic Joseph Barna, were paid $1000 instead of the $204 they would otherwise have received.
