Special DELIVERY LETTER

Dear Uncle Sam:
For the first time in my life I
am worried about you. Never be-
fore have I wondered II you could
be a dope or a Humpty Dumpty.
Never before have you ever seemed
to have points resembling a COM
posite picture Of Little Lord Faunt-
! leroy. the Fairy Godmother, Little
Jeff and Donald Duck.
But now, with Joe Stain laugh
ing up his sleeve as he and his care
fully trained stooges take over
country after country with the ease
Of the man on the flying trapeze,
/ am doing my wondering in tech
nicolor.
With Communists sworn to your
destruction working around the
clock right under the beezer,
taking orders from the Kremlin
and leaving nothing ndone to
soften you up in the exact pat
tern employed In Czechosloyakia.
You content yourself with shadow
boxing, rhumba dancing, thumb
twiddIing, go~ose-greasing and dry
runs through q revolving door.
You are interpreting the initials
u. S. A. as meaning United States
Of Amnesia. You r singing it
sMy Country. 'Tis Of Thee. Sleep
ing Land of Stupidity"
Is there any reason why you
can't he 4 Good Samaritan with
out shooting the donkey? Can't
Won he q Iifeguard without giving
rope?
It Is later than you think. It Is
high time you got smart. alert and
on the ball. Are you Uncle Sam
or Lad, Bountiful? Are you a
tough. rugged quick-witted, high
level national wonder man or Just
a yawning director of a my Adj
vice to You" program? Are you
Uncle Sam or Uncle Sap? I'm lust
asking.
Yours In complete befuddlemena.

In the September Board we were
able to pay 33 claimants a total of
$6,6O000
Experience has taught us that it
does not pay to hold too many claims
over from quarter until the t
quarter. Our death rate has run
higher, seemingly during the year
of 1948 that it has in long, long
time.
During the year of 1947 we paid
a total of 121 claims, a total of IA
claims more during the whole year
than we have paid in three quarters.
Experience has taught us that dur
ing the quarters of December and
March we have our heaviest 62SGh
rates.
During the year Of 1916 we had a
total Of 122 deaths, only fifteen more
than we have paid in three quar-
ters
During the year of 1945 we had a
total of 119 deaths, only II more
than we have had in three quarters.
During the year Of 1914 we had a
total of III deaths, only four more
than we have paid in three quarters.
During the year Of 1913 we had
10l deaths, six less than we have
had in three quarters and another
quarter to go.
These are facts taken from our
records. Therefore, you can readily
see that our death rate is on the up
ward trend. It is absolutely nee
essary that we all 90 some construc-
tice work in helping to increase our
