IS YOUR PLACE RESERVED?

Many will be shocked to find when the day of judgment rears That there's a place above set aside for volunteers. Furnished with big recliners, satin couches and footstools, Where there are no committee chairmen, nor group leaders or car pools. No eager team that needs a coach, no bazaar and no bake sale. There will be nothing to staple, not one thing to fold or mail. Telephone lists will be outlawed, but a finger snap will bring, Cold drinks and gourmet dinners. And treats fit for a king. You ask, "Who'll serve these privileged few and work for all they're worth?" Why, ALL those who reaped the benefits and not once volunteered on earth! —Bellflower Bugler, Elks Lodge #2003, BellflbW&i, California, submitted by Jean Morton, SGS tfiember.

New for the German ancestral researcher Qerttian Surname Inde?c of the Qerman Interest Qroup Seattle Qenealogicai Society

Compiled by Rod Fleck, and Cathy and Dan Requarth

This helpful book is a compilation of more than 1,000 alphabetized German surnames being researched by German Interest Group members and their friends. Each entry has the known time and place of origin for that ancestral surname in the broad European sphere of Germanic influence in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with a specific European state and in most cases the city, village or district. The known United States and/or Canadian places of settlement also are included.

A second index brings together these surnames by European place of origin. Each entry is keyed to the contributor of the information, whose name and address is included. Softbound, 60 pages; $4.95. (Washington addresses add 43# state sales tax; shipping/handling $1.50 per copy). Address orders to: Seattle Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 75388, Seattle, WA 98125-0388.
