Life is so full, yet there are
many lonely people in the world.
They are all around you, in your
church, across the street. in the
house and at the desk next to
you. What a wonderful time all
the lonesome folks could have if
they would just get together!
If you are lonely, sit down and
try to find the reason for your
loneliness. Is it because you
honestly don't like people? Is
it because of self consciousness?
II so, why? Sometimes this is
due to physical handicaps. If
you are self conscious because Of
such things as overweight. poor
grooming or complexion trouble,
overcome them! There is an an
swer to every one.
Lozy?
is IL because you nave Deen
lazy about following up the ges-
lures Of friendship which others
have made? This may be due to
timidity. lack of money, laziness
or procrastination or a busy ca
reer.
Often shyness comes from lack
Of background. # you feel that
you didn't have many of the ad-
vantages early in life which build
poise and personality, it is not
too late to develop them. II you
are sincerely interested in be-
coming better educated so that
you .can enjoy the resources Of
others and yourself, you can do
so through your own reading and

TOO BIG A HURRY

We are kindly ase.g lie loca al
presidents to please take time off
and read the application blanks be-
fore filling them out. We have one
form that is used for new members
onlv one kind for duplicate policies,
one kind for renewals for the cur
rent Quarter and another kind for
back renewals. By Back" we mean
members who have been out of the
Association ninety days and more.
It is really expensive to have to
write two and three times to a local
president about a matter that could
have b e adjusted in the first
place, had the president taken time
TO read the blank before filling it
out I think the proper thing to do
IS TO have few Of each kind of ap-
nlication blanks on hand.
It is nothing new to fill out re-
newal blanks for members who fail
to pay on or before the date Of the
Board. but we have some presidents
who invariably send in the names of
the applicants and the money and
when we send the blanks back to
them to fill out they will not return
them. I am sure if some Of the local
presidents knew the trependous a
mount of UNNECESSARY work that
some of them cause us in the office
that they would stop right now and
make a New Years Resolution to do
better in 1854.
Some Of you complain about the
trouble you have with your mem
bers, but you have not seen anything

in the office, you would become a.

SceIba Passes Test
By 5-vote Margin
By the Associated Pres.

ROME, April II. - Premier
Mario Scelba'S government
pulled it's stray votes together to-
day and passed a critical test
ballot in the Chamber of Depu-
ties by a five-vote majority.
The 295-to-284 vote came on a
Finance Ministry budget bill and
was not a formal vote of conf
dence. But the same bill had
been defeated Saturday in a
vote which obviously worried the
government.
Mr.. Scelba'S pro-WeStern CEN
ter coalition normally has the
narrowest of voting margins in
Parliament. 1t relies on abso-
lutte party discipline to survive.
In a secret ballot Saturday six
center deputies strayed from the
fold and voted with the extreme
left and right opposition.
This morning, however, the
center parties rounded up their
forces and severely lectured the
still-unknown preachers of party
discipline.
After the vote, the chamber
adjourned until after the Easter
holidays.
