In regard to Bob Brosius'
letter in "Playback" of Au-
gust 80, he states that he IS
not immature. But in calling
Elvis Presley a sick COW"
he's only proving his imma-
turity.
MYRON d. WALKER.
I read "Playback" every
time. l think that the Gill
bert poll was completely
right. I, for one. can't stand
Elvis Presley. I think Ricky
Nelson is tops. He really
knows how to, sing! Elvis
sounds to me like a wolf
bowling.
I agree with Vivian Owens
in the September 6 issue OF
Teen. Teresa must be sick
If she likes ElviS.
SUSAN.
I disagree with Vivian
Owens completely. Vivian.
you said you did not like
Elvis' vulgar movements.
Elvis only shakes because he
feels his music! Nelson Just
stands there, rolls his eyes
with the fake eyelaSheS and
looks like a fool. All the girls
watching him scream be-
cause they are being paid.
Nelson has no rhythm at
all. Elvis was the first major
rock and roll singer and we
think he had a great deal to
do with making rock and roll
as popular as it is today. AS
for everybody else getting to
the top on their own. every
body else isn't on the top.
Elvis is. Nelson is a favorlte
with misled people only be-
cause he has good material.
JUANITA and SUSAN.
I enjoy "Playback" and
reading the different opin-
ions people have on the sub
jectS that come up. UP until
now I've been content in just
reading, but after seeing the
remarks of Vivian Owens in
the September 6 Teen on
Elvis l decided to say some
thing.
1 enjoy listening to both
Ricky's and ElviS' records
and as far as I'm concerned,
anyone in their right mind
can see that Ricky does not
initiate Elvis. Each has a
style of his own, but even if
Ricky did initiate Elvis he
wouldn't be STOPPING low" in
doing so. Elvis, I'll admit,
can bury his wild contor-
lions, but as far as his other
qualifications are concerned,
that's an entirely different
matter. When Elvis came
out with his big hits he
started something completely
new in music. If he's so ter

rible, how is it he can come
out from wild rock and roll

Peace in the Valley" with

To be honest I'm partial
to Jimmy Darren'S record
ings. but If Teresa's "sick,
sick. sick" as Vivian said,
then I am. too.
I object to some of the
things said by Teresa Foresta
in her letter of August %.
She stated that Elvis Presley
was far superior to Ricky
Nelson. Where is the con-
troverSy? They are equally
horrible.
God save America If these
"red-blooded boys" represent
the typical. Why must our
youth pattern itself after
these greasy haired idols
sporting purple satin shirts?
Must the sensuouS Sneer re-
place the smile? Contrary
to TereSa's belief, doubt If
the Nations courts would
accept devotion to Elvis as
proof of sanity. Further
more, I couldn't care less
about the musical tastes Of
Congress Heights. Where is
it anyway?

We are two boys who have
been reading your column for
quite a long time. We like
Elvis very much and we
think we both have good
taste and sense. We are sure
that Elvis didn't think he
would be playing with teddy
bears when he went into the

cent with Teresa Foresta.

I have just read your TEEN

but l am very angry with
some Of these so-called teen

Nelson is so great. Elvis
Presley at least sings with
expression and can act. Look
at all the criticism he is
taking behind his back. Don't
you think this talk has hurt
his feelings?
LINDA PENDLETON.
To Vivian Owens: Who's
sick, sick, sick? You said in
the beginning of your letter
that you are in your right
mind. I sincerely doubt it.

Having served the Union Consulting Actuaries since
1850 privilege bring to this Convention favor
able report the last four years operations.
The Union has been emnently successful during the
four years particularly during the difficult times sur
rounding the economic recession during 1857 and 1905
of that recession the four year summaries not
quite as favorable they would have been otherwise How
ever observation that all fraternal societies and
commercial companies adversely affected by the re-
cession but the Union affected to lesser degree than
most.
Since the last Convention the Union has grown con-
santy and steadily to the point where can now boast
of 11O158 members 999 of insurance in force
The Union claims the insurance force of any fra
ternal Pennsylvania the largest fraterna state IN the
Union In addition the insurance in force in the Union e
ceeds that reported by the largest faernal 43 states
including such heavily populated states New York New
jersey Massachusetts, California and Indiana
report of this nature is impossible to cover all
aspects the four history since last The
topics which have been selected for comment those
which best be understood by the delegates without
ing into undue technicates but which, at the same time
will present reasonably comprehensive picture of the cur
rent status of the Union.
Solvency Ratio
AS Of December 81 1858 the sovency ratio stood at
1O829q6 which indicates that the Union holds assets OF
s1O829 of admissible behind each $100 Of liabilities
This sovency ratio compares very avoraby with the
erage sovency ratio for the largest companies the
country of 1O754qe.
Since the last Convention the surplus of the Union has
weathered storms Notably the Union survived
the recession contrast to many insurers without showing
operating loss Although the surplus contributions were
less normal years. the results in the opinion of the
actuaries very satisfactory
Since the last Convention the Union has continued it's
strengthening program and at the same tme be-
gan setting aside funds with which the Convention
ses could be met Then too the Union paid very liberal
dividends in the four year period since the last
and did not reduce dividend scale during the recession
as by many other fraterna societies and CONNER
cal companies.
Benefits And Payments TO Members
In the four year period from 1861 to 1854 inclusive
the Union paid $626O37 in benefits to members In the
year period ending December 81 1855 the Union paid
year period of $780, The payment of eight million
dollars benefits it's members shows that the Union
filling very and performing valuable services
to it's 10000 members.
Immediately following the last Convention, dividend
payments members life insurance certificates
increased This action taken notwithstanding the fact
that the then dividend scale already extremely liberal
The scale continued the past four years. in spite
of economic recession and decreased nationwide profits

BALTIMORE IN GOOD SHAPE
Rote Confident Colts
Won't Stop ConerIy

NEW YORK, Dec. % (AP)
There's a dandy duel shap-
ing up in Sundays National
Football League title game in
Baltimore between the marks
manship of Charlie Conerly
the New York Giants quarter
back, and the skills of the Bal
timore Colts defensive back
field.
The Colts led the NFL in in
Perceptions with 40. Conerly
had only four of 1874 passes
picked off to lead the league
in that department.
Respects Defense
But Kyle Rote, Giants often
sive end who must do battle
with the Baltimore secondary
in running pass patterns, isn't
worried a bit. He puts his trust
in Conerly.
Charlie will find something
wrong with that Colts backfield
and take care of it," he said
today. They're bound to leave
some holes out there and he'll
spot them"
But Rote still has the great
est respect for Defensive Backs
Ray Brown, Andy Nelson, Milt
Davis and Carl Taseff, who in
tercepted % passes, and Line
bakers Dick Syzmanski, Bill
Bellington and Don Shinnick,
who picked off II more-an
unbelievable amount for that
position.
Those linebackers drop back
Is or 20 yards sometimes to
help out the halfbacks," Rote
said. If Charley knows that,
he can Offset some of that
pressure on the deeper receiv-
ers and take advantage of some
wlde-open space"
Speed Biggest Asset
What was the biggest asset
Of the Colts defensive back
field?
"Speed-there's no question
about that" Rote said. They're
fast and hard to shake"
Who was the toughest of the
Colts defensive backs?
"Pick one-any one. They're
all tough. They're a great
bunch of players" Rote said.
Rote. who caught 25 passes
for 1862 yards and four touch
downs this season, nabbed two
for rs yards in last years title
game against the same Colts
defensive backs.
Conerly also had a fine day,
completing 10 of IA for a touch
down and 1877 yards. This year,
he completed 113 of 1874 for
l,706 yards and IA touchdowns
in IL league games, none
against the Colts.
Now comes his turn to see if
he can thread the needle against
a backfleld that seems radar-
equipped for passes.
