Do You Want Your Children College-Educated?

Then Insure to Be Sure 1

The civilized and highly advanced nations of the world are today faced with many changes and complexities rapidly takingplace. Even the emerging countries must meet the dilemma of adjustment and transition squarely lest they soon return to obscurity or oblivion. Looking at all the issues directly and avoiding the reverie of wishful thinking is an absolute necessity for all men, collectively and individually.

Food, clothing and shelter are the basic needs shared by all human beings, but of course there is a difference in degree. Civilized people require more of the three basics than do barbarians.

How, then can we, specifically the citizens of these great United States, and more especially the members of the William Penn Fraternal Association, guarantee ourselves more food, better clothing, adequate housing, etc.? The answer is that we must have job security with sufficient compensation for our efforts. Steady work is not enough; the salary must also be satisfactory.

Automation is a word that is today well-known because of its far-reaching effects on employment, and it is the concern of both management and labor. It is not really new but over the past several years its utilization has increased in almost every major industry. Put simply, automation substitutes machine for men, and today one complex machine can do a better and faster job than formerly performed by many workers engaged in the same operation. Automation is both fascinating and frightening.

Workers who think realistically know that automation is here to stay and that its uses are to be more and more exploited. Without our automation in The United States we would soon lose out to the rapidly growing competition of the foreign market. Actually automation is the saving grace of labor in general, though, it is true, during this transitory period many workers must be hurt. That is why retraining and further education are a must for those who desire the assurance of job security and adequate compensation.

The William Penn Fraternal Association scrutinizes today in order to know what the tomorrow — the future — will mean to its members. Realizing that automation will soon bring an end to many unskilled, or even semi-skilled jobs, this society is urging its members who are parents and guardians to prepare now, many years in advance, the groundwork for the future security of their offspring who are now children. This security can be best guaranteed by the purchase of William Penn insurance suited for the future educational needs of the now child members.

The William Penn has various satisfactory plans of insurance which in years to come will be a blessing when the young student is ready to attend the college or university of his or her choice. A higher education is indeed costly as graphically shown in an excellent brochure, 1964-1965 COLLEGE COSTS, put out by the Life Insurance Agency Management Association, Hartford, Connecticut. For people of average means, financing the college education of one or more children is practically prohibitive. The

only solid answer is to be prepared with insurance — William Penn insurance. With the assurance of William Penn insurance your children will have the education and training to be the masters of automation and not its victims. To boot, they will perform at skills which will give them more than just average compensation.

Being a parent is a grave responsibility. The future of our children is largely in our hands. We must not be content to give our children only the three basic necessities. We must help them as much as we possibly can. The truly loving parent desires not the same kind of life for the child that he or she had, but an' even better life with more gratifications — and all this in a positive manner for the greater spiritual and temporal welfare of the child. Again, insurance — William Penn insurance — can be the financial foundation for the bright future of the child, for education is the blanket answer to the expectations of tomorrow.

Now let us turn our attention to one of the noblest posses-* sions children can have, their grandparents. Grandparents have a very special love for their grandchildren, for the sight of them takes these elders back to their parenthood days — and beautiful reveries. Granparents are known to be quite indulgent toward their grandchildren, sometimes excessively so. We suggest that William Penn grandparents show their supreme love for their grandchildren by purchasing William Penn educational certificates for them, and this would not be excess. Such wonderful charity would always be remembered in wholehearted gratitude.

We could add many paragraphs to this article, but let the summation thereof be:

The rewards of the years to come will be very many for our children and grandchildren — but only if we parents and grandparents establish now a sound financial insurance foundation for the future education and training of our youngsters, boys and girls who will some day grow up to enter the world of competition for a better living. Let William Penn help them now!

Hungarian Courses Offered in Cleveland

The Hungarian Americans of Cleveland, Ohio, and its vast area, are fortunate in that their large numbers call attention to the Hungarian name and all that it stands for.

It is for this reason, and others too, including energetic leadership, that soon concrete evidence of Hungarian culture will be explored and studied and made available to those wishing to advance their education and culture.

Every ethnic group has its own heritage and should be proud of it beyond the limits of its own people. Certainly this is quite true of the Hungarians, or Magyars, whose country was one of the most powerful and most cultured in Medieval Europe, and, LET IT NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, Christianity and Western Civilization owe very much to Hungary for her stand against the Tatars and the Turks.

The courses soon to be offered by Western Reserve University in Cleveland and by the Cleveland Public Schools (Evening Division) will not only focus attention on Hungarian history, culture, etc., but will dispel many erroneous ideas and notions about the Hungarian people. It is a sad commentary that many Hungarian Americans themselves know too little about their own ethnic group.

Western Reserve University this fall will offer A CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE HUNGARIAN PEOPLE and HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE. From the titles the programs of both courses are obvious. For information telephone 231-7700, extension 2111.

The former course, to be taught in pure Hungarian, is aimed at strengthening and preserving Hungarian culture and civilization. The latter course is designed to provide an accurate knowledge of the Hungarian language with special emphasis on written form, and will aid those who need a better knowledge of the Hungarian language.

The Cleveland Public Schools, Evening Division, will offer courses in CONVERSATIONAL HUNGARIAN, HUNGARIAN COOKING, and HUNGARIAN BALL ROOM DANCING. The first will provide skill in everyday Hungarian speech, the second will teach the art of Hungarian cooking (the Hungarian cuisine is second to none!), and the third will reveal Hungarian dancing in its true elegance.

For the courses soon to be given by the Cleveland Public Schools, watch for and listen to announcements through the local media.

Many members of the William Penn Fraternal Association live in the Cleveland area. It is the hope of this society that its' Cleveland area members will take interest in the Hungarian courses about to be offered and made by Western Reserve University and the Evening Division of the Cleveland Public Schools.
