DOES HARD WORK PAY OFF?
Will hard work get you somewhere? A recent survey by the Life Insurance Council finds that there has been a sharp decline in people's belief that hard work always pays off. Comparing a current survey with one made in 1968, it was found that eight years ago 58% of those polled agreed with the statement: "Hard work will always pay off if you stick with it and have faith in yourself." The 1976 poll found only 43% subscribing to this statement. In both surveys, young people were more likely to take a cynical view than their elders. Also, the proportion of people who agreed with the statement "The idea that hard work leads to success is a lie. You have to know someone or be just plain lucky"-has doubled from 7% to 14% since 1968. Only one out of three persons polled this year believed that people are as willing as they used to be to do a full day's work for a full day's pay.-Family News & Features, American Council of Life Insurance and Health Insurance.

All-Masonry Home Donated in Minnesota
For the past 10 years a small group of businessmen in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota have conducted an annual celebrity golf and tennis tournament with the earnings donated to charity. Originated by Joe Duffy, a restaurant owner in downtown Minneapolis, it began as a small outing featuring local personalities and has since mushroomed into one of the largest charity events of its kind in the country, contributing more than $1 million to charity. The tournament this year reaped over $200,000. To mark their 10th anniversary, the tournament planners went all out to make this year's top prize the best ever-a 1,344 square-foot, energy-efficient, all-masonry home (pictured here) situated on a 75 x 127 lot in southwest Minneapolis. All of the labor and materials were donated by local craftsmen and building material suppliers. The Minnesota Masonry Institute's executive director, Howard Noziska, assisted with the procurement of necessary materials and coordinated the masonry portion of the construction. The house is valued at about $75,000.
