To make it clear to all, l
repeat, members who have
not yet reached age so, may
continue to transfer from the
Old Plan to the New Plan Of
Dismemberment and Surgical
Indemnity, and only those
members who have reached
age so, can no longer trans
fer from the Old Plan to the

period expired on June Both.
Our field workers will con-
tinue to be paid awards of
one dollar for each transfer
from the Old to the New
Plan.
We ask all our Lodge Off
GERS and field workers to
make note of the foregoing
explanation, and particularly
with regard to use Of the
correct blanks and applica-
tions, so as to avoid unneces-
sary correspondence between
themselves and the Supreme
Office.
We have passed the half

lars new insurance.
1t is a great honor to be a
member of the Croatian Fra

an honor to be one of its
