One of the most important matters
to be discussed during the sessions Of
the German Catholic Aid Association
of Minnesota at its ONT convention
with the State Federation of German
Roman Catholic Societies, held at the
Junior Pioneer Hall in St. Paul from
Sunday until Tuesday evening OF last
week, was the adding Of endowment
insurance to the fraternal policies
written at present for the benefit OF
those members of the Association who
desire this kind of insurance. Presi-
dent George N. Gerlach of st. Paul
was empowered to appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the different plans
of insurance for this purpose and re-
port it's findings at the next annual
convention, which is to be held at ST.
Cloud next year. Should it be de-
cided to make the proposed change, it
would be necessary to alter the con-
stitution so that it will allow for the
new feature.
