For example, your life insurance can very easily be arranged to provide life-long support for your widow plus a substantial inheritance for your children. In Shawmut' s Personal Trust Department we would be glad to discuss your complete insurance program . with you, your life insurance counsellor and your attorney, or simply write for a copy of our brochure "A Modern Life Insurance Program."

If it were possible to obtain above all an audition of my Te Deum for friends or a relative of the Ministry at one of the Imperial ceremonies where my Requiem, is being rehearsed, it would perhaps facilitate matters.

That's why Old Colony has always advised people to see their lawyers and make a will. We also stress the importance of regular reviews of wills already made, for changing conditions can affect wills far more than most people realize. It is good sense to name a skilled, permanent organization, such as Old Colony Trust Company, as Executor and Trustee, thereby gaining assurance that your will is going to receive the expert care it deserves. Old Colony would be glad to discuss your estate plans with you and your lawyer at any time. As a first step, write for our 24-page booklet, "Wills and Trusts." Augustin H.

BOSTON • CHESTNUT HILL [8] OVERTURE (SUITE) NO. 1 in C major for Orchestra By Johann Sebastian Bach Born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685; died in Leipzig, July 27, 1750 This "Overture" calls for 2 oboes, bassoon, first and second violins, violas and basso continuo. Bach's "overtures," as he called them, of which there are four, have generally been attributed to the five-year period (1717-23) in which he was Kapellmeister to the young Prince Leopold of Anhalt- Cothen. Albert Schweitzer conjectures that they may belong to the subsequent Leipzig years, for Bach included them in the performances of the Telemann Musical Society, which he conducted from the years 1729 to 1736.

The national structure grew as people signed the pledge resisting the U.S. government's policies toward Central America. Signals for actions were sent out from the national center to the local groups whose members committed civil disobedience and protested policies seen as interventionist and repressive. Groups which worked closely with the Pledge included the Inter-Religious Task Force for Central America, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, the American Friends Service Committee, and the San Francisco Bay Area's Emergency Response Network, and Bay Area Pledge of Resistance.

  • What Is Non-Violence?
    What is and who uses non-violent resistance? (note: This workshop is ideally done in partnership with a guest speaker from an International Peace organization in your area. Every community has one, they may be working unobtrusively, but they do exist! Ask at your local Amnesty International group, or through places of worship, grassroots action groups, Rotary Club, Mission Outreach, etc) Introductory Activity ~ Workshop Activity A: Discuss : Ask the children what types of violence exist in the world. (ie. psychological abuse, economic abuse, intimidation, physical violence, racial violence, religious) What is the difference between discrimination and violence? What does non-violence means to them? Ask the children to give examples from their own experiences of non-violence, ie situations where they were either players or spectators of non-violence. Show the short film that can be found on YouTube : “Be the change you want to see in this world! Mahatma Gandhi” 2:06 A must watch video that teaches us that we should not always have to wait for others or things to happen of their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGyutkBvN2s. Relaxation / Experience Peace: Use quiet music from another ethnic experience. Guide them through imagining another “peaceful situation” ie. Remembering a scene where you either did not respond using nonviolent resistance or that you turned away in order to not respond at all. Now this time, put yourself back into that memory. What was the situation? Location? What was the day like? Weather/ What preceded what you were about to see? What did you witness? Now instead of responding as you did at the time, IMAGINE what sort of nonviolent response you could do.

  • The Chicago ‘Advance Team’: the Evolution of College Activists
    ABSTRACT THE CHICAGO ‘ADVANCE TEAM’: THE EVOLUTION OF COLLEGE ACTIVISTS The tumultuous years of the 1960s evolved from the thaw of the Cold War era. College campuses’ emerging interest in the Civil Rights movement was exacerbated by the escalating violence within the Deep South. By the time events from Selma, Alabama reached the living rooms and college dorm rooms in the North, waves of activism had spread across the nation. This study follows a group of college activists who traveled south, quickly adapted to movement strategy, and forged lifetime friendships while working for Dr. Martin Luther King’s organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Most of the core group stayed in the South in the summer of 1965 after completing non- violence training in Atlanta. Showing exemplary skills and leadership qualities, they would eventually form Rev. James Bevel’s ‘advance team’ within the Chicago Freedom Movement. This ‘elite’ unit fought their own battles against poverty, racism, and violence while in Chicago. Their story is one from below, and captures the heart and spirit of true activism, along with memories of music, rent strikes, a lead-poisoning campaign, and even a love affair, within the Chicago Freedom Movement in 1965-1966.

  • End Slums and Discrimination
    END SLUMS AND DISCRIMINATION OPEN COMMUNITIES A prospectus for a non-violent project to achieve open occupancy throughout the Chicago area INTRODUCTION During the past six years, concerned people of the Chicago area have been contributing to the civil rights movement in the South with their food, their money, or their active presence there. Unjust laws have been overcome and just laws have been enacted, although the South is still not a free society. In 1966, however, we of the Chicago area find ourselves in a peculiar position. Dr. Martin Luther King, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) of which he is head, have chosen our own city of Chicago for their current major effort, and Dr. King is now living here. This choice was made in part because Chicago also is a closed community. The most obvious evidence is its wide-spread but closely confined Negro slums. Accordingly, SCLC has chosen to concentrate its efforts on the elimination of slums. This effort will not be limited to eradication of physically degraded or degrading neighborhoods. It will be pointed toward ending the forces of exploitation that keep people in a condition of slavery and that cause slums to expand. It will involve the people themselves in ways that give them a sense of dignity and make them largely the establishers of their own freedom. One of the primary objectives of the “end the slums” movement is “open occupancy.” Freedom to live where one chooses is a basic necessity for a free democratic community. Many of the forces of exploitation depend on the continuation of the power to compel Negroes to live in a crowded ghetto, and an end to the ghetto will be the end of much exploitation.
