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
