ture that even the state in
surance departments would
have opposed them.
1t is a matter of public re-
cord however that your CFU
has done and is doing much
for the aged and destitute
members. There are hundreds
of such maintained in active
membership status by our
contributions to the National
Fund.
There are instances where
a member is still on the rolls
a dozen and more years after
he stopped paying one cent
of dues, because even after
his reserve is exhausted he
has access to the National
Fund providing he has been
a member for the required
time.
AT almost every Executive
and Supreme Board meeting
there is an appeal or appeals
from some lodge for a none
tary award to a member who
has sustained some loss for
which the bylaws do not
compensate him and f o r
which in any other organiza-
ton he would get nothing.
Top Dividend Payment
Yet in the CF'U most of
these appeals are needed and
an award from the appropri-
ate fund made.
This is strictly fraternalism
in action, for the member
concerned definitely has no
insurable interest nor claim
in the matter. It is also a mat
ter of record though little
known or appreciated that
only a half dozen years ago
the CF'U rerated all certifi-
Gates to the $50 basis.
In order to do this it had
to find no less than one mil
lion seven hundred thousand
dollars.
It had every right to COL
lect this via a special assess
ment, but instead it slightly
reduced dividends and grad
ually satisfied this liability
without dipping into the
members pocketbooks. We
want to emphasize here that
even with this reduction your
CFU dividend is as high, if
not higher, than most insur-
ance dividends.
Local Lodge Benefits
Yes, all these and many
more benefits you derive from
membership in the c. F. U.
! These are however on the ma
tional scale. You as a men,
Der of the local lodge are the
recipient of numerous other
benefits on that local lodge
level.
There is the camaraderie
of social, cultural and sports
action. Many of our lodges
have sizeable treasures which
are available to the members
in times of need. During the
last great depression many
a member was carried for
months and years when 9TH
erwise he would have been
forced to lose his coverage.
Even now it is your lodge
which regularly pays for the

more important, facet OF
membership - Fraternalism
In Action!
Not so long ago we heard
a learned educator state that
a representative of a frater-
nal benefit society forsakes
his most potent argument

commercial policy and fails to
stress, instead, the many,

tremendous advantage.
That, however, is but the
Beginning. It would take vol

The very history of our Uni

over and above the stipula-

Eliminated War Clause
On the national scale, it has
been a record of humanita-
rian action unparalleled in
fraternal annals.
There were gifts to stricken
groups even beyond the bor-
ders of this great land. To its
own members the Union has
been especially munificent. 1t
has been the sole underwater
of all cultural promotion and
thus is solely responsible for
the perpetuation of that cul-

During the course of the
Second World War and the

Helps Aged, Destitute
Throughout it's history the
Union has been confronted by
various and sundry "old age
benefit plans.
Many of these schemes

for the purpose of building
up a following, of gaining
votes at convention time, and

the lnde1atlgaDle Manager OF
397 owned 16S Points as Of
March 26 to lay claim to the
honor of being the CFU's No.
/ Recruiter to date, both in
America and Canada.
Bro. Stanovich is most GER
tainly entitled to this signal
honor of leading the Cam
paign being waged in con-
junction with the celebration
during 1854 of the Croatian
Fraternal Unions Goth Ami
versary.
His activities in Hamilton
in behalf of the Society have
been many and varied, and
have included the usage of
sports, kolo dancing, singing,
the screening of educational
and cultural films, etc, to
keep the CFU ever before his
Nest charges.
He has been the spirit be-
hind the Nest Mothers Day
Programs of the past several
years, events which brought
the young and old together
on a true fraternal level for
the common welfare of one
and all.
In short, bro. Stanovich is
in every sense of the word a
conscientious member Of the
Croatian Fraternal u nj o n,
one who believes in every
thing the Society breaches.
Results Good To Date
Thanks to bro. Stanovich
and his many fellow recruit
ers in the States and the Do
minion, our 1854 Campaign is
doing extremely well and
producing splendid results.
Statistics compiled at the
Home Office on April l show
ed that ia Junior and 46O
Adult members had been en-
rolled in the organization
sincs January 1, 1854. This
total of LIZA new members
is more than pleasing to
those in charge of the Mem
bership Campaign.
Equally as pleasing is the
latest report on insurance
written since the beginning Of
the Campaign, $449, 300 in the
Junior Department and S419,-
900 in the Adult Department,
or S868, 300 in all.
Add to this $4,000 in
creased insurance writ t e n
during the same short period
of the Campaign and you
note that $932,3OO protection
in all has been written to
date to bring near the one
million dollar mark the work
recorded in this all-important
respect.
Vince Biskupic Surges
Getting back to the recruit
ing race itself, we cannot help
but note that Vincent Bisku-
pic, Manager of Chicago Nest
II, is the second best Cam
paign producer.
Another of the Society's
tireless field workers, bro
Biskupic is credited with 165
Points in the March 25 Table
