The finest gift a man can give to his
age and time is the gift of a
eonstructive and Creative life.

The Vestnik is your páper which
brings significant news of the aetivi-
ties in your lodge to the local
members. It is the type of news
which would stimulate other
members and other lodges to a
friendly rivaíry.
In čase you do not háve a regular
reportér, select or appoint one in
your forthcoming meeting. What
you need is a volunteer who would
reach for a sheet of páper with a
feeling of gladness, pride and
enthusiasm to telí others of your
lodge happenings, to share with
others your experiences, and to
present some new ideas and some
newsyitems.
An inexperienced reportér may
object that he/she do not know what
to write about. Do we avoid meeting
people for the fear of not knowing
what to talk about? Most of the

for publication will be informal. It
will consist of the unceremonious
exchange of news, plans* ideas
and/or experiences.
Those who do something in your
lodge and do it well are the ones to
be mentioned. Today it is necessary
to recognize those who are able to
give guidance, help and advice,
whether it is in a fraternal
organization or in business. Your
lodge may háve several members
who háve served faithfully for many
years in the same official position.
They may be an individual with
qualities that should be mentioned.
It is the least that you can do for
them by writing a word of
appreciation about him or her. Or

they may not hold any office in your
lodge now, but —wait a second —
wasn’t he or she the one who was
your delegáte to the SPJST
Convention for several times? Or
the oldest member living, etc.?
Another thought to write about
would be ideas. Although it is
loosely ušed for any vague concep-
tion, supposition or fancy, here, in
our publication, it denotes a good or
practical pian, solution or
suggestion. Every successful
meeting brings forth several ideas
or plans to solve certain problems.
The problems of one lodge are
similar to the problems of other
lodges. Can you share the success of
your pian with others? We know you
can. What you need is someone to
explain the working of your
proceduře. Again you will enrich
your own páper.
Perhaps some of you may háve an
ideál that may come close to those
who are urging changes, amend-
ments, etc., but we can avoid the
extreme by stating that an ideál is a
standard of excellence, an aim of
constant striving for practical
improvements. A scientist may say
that a perfect circle is an ideál
impossible to construct, but we may
always strive “to form a more perfect
union” in our fraternal circles.
***
Our SPJST fraternity is equipped
to render complete life insurance
Service, and is ready and eager to
help you in any way possible. This
free Service is available to you as a
member any time you ask for it. You
should feel at perfect liberty to call
upon any trained sales representa-
tive within your area or local lodge
officer and/or district director for
assistance any time you feel that you
need additional life insurance.
One point that we wish to stress
strongly from time to time is: Read
your membership certifícate. Také it
out from your filé and get
acquainted with its provisions and
benefits. Be sure that you under-
stand it. Other members háve doně
it in the past so as to také care of any
new insurance or any changes in the
certifícate. The SPJST certifícates
are prepared for the benefit of all
members, according to the deeisions
of the members during the regular
conventions held every four years.
Brothers and Sisters: Your point
of view regarding any improvement
in your protection will always be
given due consideration.
***
If the person sitting next to you in
a restaurant — or in your home —
starts choking on a piece of meat, a
simple technique developed by a
surgeon offers a way in which you
can help.
THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER is
a proceduře which was worked out
by Dr. Henry Heimlich, director of
surgery at Cincinnati Jewish
Hospital, who started research after
reading that over 2,000 Americans
choked to death in one year on food
or other objects. His “maneuver”
goes like this:
Standing behind the victim, plače
your arms around his waist, slightly
above the belt line. Allow his head,
arms and upper torso to hang
forward.
Grasping one wrist formed in a
fist with the other hand, press into
the victinťs abdomen rapidly and
forcefully repeating several times.
This “reverse bearhug” pushes up
on the diaphragm, compresses the
air in the lungs and expels the object
blocking the breathing passage.
Up to now, choking victims often
died unless a doctor was around to
cut an air passage into the throat or
a speciál instruident to remove the
block was readily available. Reports
received by Dr. Heimlich telí of
hundreds of lives saved since he
described the “maneuver” in a
medical journal in 1974.
