OAKLAND, CAL.

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 15-That
football rally and luncheon given by
the Northern District employees of
the Golden State Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co., was really the stuff" The
occasion marked the beginning of their
annual drive for new policy holders.
The employees, grouped into teams
composed of eleven members, scored a
touchdown at the end of every sixth
new plicy. The rivalry being very
strong between the Los Angeles teams
(home office) and Oakland afforded
much gay banter and repartee on the
part of the principle speakers of the
afternoon; Oakland having won in 80.
In addition to large cash prize going
to the winning team, the perpetual
Walt Gordon Football Trophy is
awarded to the team scoring the high
est yardage for the year 1940-41.
During the meal which rivaled q
Thanksgiving banquet, the program,
initiated with all the color of the grid
iron sport, started with the invocation
by Rev. J. ]. Byers, followed by a skit,
"Sell the People" by Alvin D. Nurse.
A round table discussion by four
coaches was exceedingly amusing.

makers was entertaining as well as
influential in gaining new policy hold
ers. The poem Daddy Was Not In
sured," introduced by a ragged widow
and her children displaying bills, mort
cages and dilations brought down the
house"
Coach Aubrey Hackshaw, furnish
ing closing remarks, introduced his
staff and Coach Edgar johnson Of Los
Angeles gave the "kick-Off Address"
on the Outline of Plan of Work. The
affair closed with the singing of
america the Beautiful, Mr.. Bundy,
accompanist. The fifty guests seated
around the table each received little
