6 those of its- members who have applied will obtain the insurance. For this rea son, each Chapter owes a responsibility to its desiring members to qualify, that there may be no' question about their having this desirable, low cost insur ance. New Chapter to Be Organized It is proposed to establish a new Chapter to be operated through the Headquarters office at Salem. The members of this. new chapter will be comprised largely of those O.S.E. A* members whose Chapters let them down by not qualifying for the insurance. It is the intent of the Association to see that every member who wants the insurance will get it!" For the first time in the history of the state, it is now possible for every state employee to enjoy the privilege and benefit^ ‘ of low-cost, complete group life insurance with a company; licensed in the state and with resident o f f i c e s and representatives. The O.S.E.A. has done all the ground work for this valuable plan; the study, in vestigation, promulgation of legislative actiop, and making of tontacts. It of fers it to every state employee who will support the Association actively in its continued efforts to bring such benefits and opportunities to the em ployees. State Employees Have Been Helped By O.S.E.A. Every present state employee,; even those who are not yet members of the Oregon State Employees Association, has received many benefits through O.S.E.A. activities, not the least of which include: uniform and reasonably liberal sick leave with pay, liberalized and uniform vacations with pay, in creased salaries, shorter work hours, re tirement system benefits paid equally by employer and employee, a Civil Ser vice system which will increasingly pro tect the efficient employees from un fair discrimination, etc., etc. Surely, this Association, with its present record of achievement, and with its growing strength to protect present gains and to secure future équitable benefits for all employees, surely it deserves the support of all. Insurance Plan Will Increase O.S.E.A. Ability to Serve As this insurance plan continues in effect, it should return to the Associa tion a dividend in cash or other valu able consideration which will permit the O.SJE.A. to provide, more benefits to the insured members. Nothing suc ceeds like success, and this part of out program is certainly going f to be a winner. The present campaign deserves the support of every O.S.E.A. member who wishes to see us continue to grow. It deserves the support of every present non-member who basks in the benefits the O.S.E.A.^has already provided him. The writer knows of no other de vice which so nearly fits the human needs and urges; namely, life insurance for one’s family protection or for the est-atç, purchased at extremely favorable cost, and at the same time strengthen ing the agency (the O.S.E.A.) which has given and which will continue to give him financial benefits and fair working conditions while he is work ing, and a reasonably ample pension for life upon retirement from service. Get your applications in EARLY; and get those benefits that much sooner! NOTE FOR FILE CLERKS In Hollywood they have dug up a script writer who mainatins a unique filing system. Rent bills are put away in a copy of Dickens’ Bleak House; life insurance policies in All This and Heav en Too; auto licenses in The Covered Wagon; mining shares in Great Expec tations; doctors’ bills in The Way of All Flesh; gins and electricity receipts in The Light' That Failed. For a bill for his bride’s new mink coat he rushed out to buy á copy of The Man W ho Mar ried a Dumb Wife. (Lifted from the Saturday Review for the Buffalo Li- rary S ta ff Bulletin.
