Werts Finds Stars
Are Valuable
MUNCIE, Ind.-Fred W. Werts, presi-
dent of the Werts Novelty Company, is now
an accomplished astrologer, according to
reports coming from friends and business
associates. "He has become so adept at
reading the stars," friends say, "that he can
tell you many facts about yourself and even
predict your future success and happiness."
Werts studied under Seward, the master
astrologer, while in Florida during the past
winter. He is fully capable of pursuing the
stars through their orbits and of applying
the birth date of a person to the mystic
rea lms of astrology.
It is Werts' theory that a study of the
stars is practical because one can learn
their lucky days, as well as their adverse
ones, and can take advantage of their best
♦
opportunities.
Although officials of the Pennsylvania
State group expressed disappointment at
the failure to secure the passage of any
beneficial trade measures at the meeting of
the 1939 legislature, it was hoped that
greater success would meet the efforts of
the group during the next session. Harry
Wexelblatt, executive secretary and coun-
sel, expressed satisfaction at the growing
strength during the year.
Efforts to obtain favorable legislation
were started rather late, with activity inau-
gurated very briefly before the start of the
session, Wexelblatt stated. "At the start
the Association's representations were
weak and rather futile. Legislators were
not convinced of the need for the legisla-
tion nor conscious of the strength of the
State organization.
"It was hard work getting our organiza-
tion on a smoothly working basis," Wexel-
blatt declared. "However, good resul,ts were
evident as time progressed and I think
that we made ourselves recognized by the
various members of committees handling
the bills which we thought beneficial to
the industry in the trade. The last few
months found the State Association daily
growing in strength and membership from
all sections of the State."
With more time in which to build a
strong State Association and complete
plans for presenting their problems to the
Legislature the officers of the group ex-
pressed great confidence that more results
from their efforts would be evident at the
next session of the legislative body in
Pennsylvania.
