 HONORING ARTHUR J. GLATFELTER'S 50 YEARS OF SERVICE IN THE INSURANCE 
                                INDUSTRY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM F. GOODLING

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 31, 1997

  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Mr. Arthur J. Glatfelter. 
On November 7, 1997, Mr. Glatfelter will be recognized for 50 years of 
service in the insurance industry.
  Mr. Glatfelter entered the insurance business in 1947 as a solicitor; 
4 short years later he opened his own insurance agency. Today the 
Glatfelter Insurance Group has more than 370 associates throughout 8 
satellite offices in the United States and Canada. This agency has 
grown to become one of the 10 largest privately owned agencies in the 
country.
  Over the years, as his agency has grown, so have his commitments to 
our community. Community service and an eagerness to help others are 
values which have guided Mr. Glatfelter in his personal and 
professional life. Through his generosity and his desire to give back, 
he has made a difference in the lives of countless York County 
residents.
  Art Glatfelter is a shining example of our American way of life; his 
devotion and tireless work on behalf of those in need have and will 
continue to meet the growing needs in our great Commonwealth and the 
York community. Mr. Glatfelter is one of the good people who makes a 
difference in our society.
  I recall a phrase from an anonymous author: ``Those who can give even 
a little have the sense of full participation in a great neighborly 
understanding.'' Mr. Glatfelter has given much more than ``a little'' 
and has clearly established himself as a great friend of compassion, 
warmth and understanding.

  Mr. Speaker, I wholeheartedly congratulate Mr. Glatfelter on 50 years 
of commendable service in the insurance industry, the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania and the neighborhoods of York County.
