Sacred Heart Marks Catholic Bible Week Upward to one thousand people visited the scriptural exhibition which inaugurated the Catholic Bible week at the parish of the Sacred Heart, Altoona. Two themes dominated the artistically attractive display which was located in the vestibule of the church. These two themes were as follows: first, the Bible was never meant to be solely admired for its material structure or for its mere presence in the home, but, being God's Letter to His children was meant to be read and to be meditated upon. The second theme was, the daily family reading of the Bible binds together in a unique spiritual manner every member of a Catholic household. The Biblical display was sponsored by the Sodality of the parish under the direction of Father Anthony OToole.

The art work was under the supervision of Paul Musselman assisted by Carolyn Benney, Regina Orner, Donnelly Malligan, Patricia McGlynn, James Rodgers, Alice Montgomery, James Roccio and Marianne Banholzer. To encourage the daily reading of the Sacred Scriptures, orders were taken for New Testaments, Psalms, The Catholic Family Bible, Missals and Scriptural Meditations on the Rosary. Due to popular demand the display will be open to the public this coming Saturday and Sunday.

The Van Zandt bill provides for repeal of the provision in the 1951 amendments to the Railroad Retirement act prohibiting the payment of dual benefits to retired railroad employes entitled to earned benefits under both the Social Security and Railroad Retirement acts. The Altoona legislator told Senate committee members of the defeat of the amendment in the House in 1951, pointing out that it was later inserted in the Senate version of the legislation and retained when the conference committee returned the 1951 amendments to the floor the day before adjournment of the 8nd "It was a question of accepting the conference re-pert or rejecting it, and by so doing lose the opportunity to approve other amendments liberalizing the Railroad Retirement act and increasing benefits" said Van Zandt. Branding the prohibition against dual benefits us being grossly unjust and highly discriminatory Rep. Van Zandt charged congress with "breaking faith with some 40,000 retired railroad em ployes" adversely affected by the dual benefits amendment.

W. L. Nicholson Agency Parsons Agency WHY BUY FROM A STRANGER? SHOULD I BUY INSURANCE from an employee of a direct-writing cut rate company or seek the advice of a local agent in purchasing insurance protection? That's an important question to ask yourself, and here's why you should consult a local agent: Dealing with a local agent is a valuable EXTRA. Your local agent will assist YOU in the selection of the proper insurance coverages, and represent YOU should a loss arise. It pays to have the assistance and advice of a local agent maintaining an office in your community to render across-the-board insurance service.

By representing a number of-reliable companies he can obtain the broadest coverages for you at the lowest rates for DEPENDABLE INSURANCE. Only your LOCAL AGENT can give your insurance problem PERSONAL ATTENTION. Does your insurance agent represent YOU in dealing with your insurance company or is he an EMPLOYEE of one company only? Insurance is like other things we buy in respect to getting what we pay for. It doesn't pay to buy cheap insurance, John Ruskin once said, "There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper and the people who consider price ONLY are this man's lawful prey." fjj I ii Itwjj VL'tfm Male youi gin fee! doubly welcome tagtauJ P'V-ri by inviting them to flHwI 1 enoy We with I ('I Miller High Life- I pgl Wh i note ttt mut" rw Kin Qm fed 1 rag I 555" I BLAIR COUNTY FIRE CASUALTY AGENTS' ASSN.
