Worth KNOWING
BY Joseph Bella
Supreme Secretary

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Last
week, we received 4 few ques-
tions from our Secretaries
which merit some comment
on our part, so that others
! may benefit should they be
confronted with similar prob
lens.
Question: - Can we accept
applicants who claim that
either parent, or grandparent,
is of Slavic descent?
Answer: - Yes, we do ac-
cept such applicants into
membership, providing, Of
course, that the applicant has
some proof that either par
ent, or grandparent, is of Sla-
vic descent. This proof can be
obtained by the Lodge, and it
is not necessary to mail such
proof to the Home Office, be-
cause once we receive an ap-
proved application from the
Lodge for a new applicant, we
take it for granted that the
Lodge made all the necessary
inquiries about the applicant
as required by our Bylaws.
Member One Lodge Only
Question: - Can a member
be insured in two different
Lodges and have 2 separate
certificates, that is, one GER
tificate with each Lodge?
Answer: - To this ques-
ton, we must answer very
definitely in the negative. If
we allowed such practice to
! be in effect, it would create
quite a few problems and
complications. To begin with,
such a member would be en-
titled to vote for Delegates
or Lodge Officers in more
than one Lodge, which would
not be fair to other members
who are afforded the privi-
lege of voting only once. Then
too, it would necessitate the
keeping of more than one set
of records, thus making it
that much more difficult to
keep track of such members. !.
| sf -
Paid-Up Certificates
Question: - Does a men,
ber with a paid-up certificate
have to submit a medical for
an increase of insurance, If
such member is now 80 years
of age?
Answer: - Every appli-
cant for membership must
submit a medical if they are
past 35 years of age, regard
less of whether they are men,
bers at present or not. This
is a requirement Of our By
Laws which cannot be viola
ted at any time.
Please Cash Checks
Having concluded our ques-
tions for the week, we should
like to take this opportunity
to remind our Lodge Secreta-
ries that the end of the year
is fast approaching.
This means that all Lodge
work and membership trans
actions should be cleaned up
within the next two months,
so that our records at the
Home Office will be as COM
plete as possible by the end
of the year.
The most important of
these are the outstanding
checks, which are held un-
cashed for more than 80 days
by our members and Lodge
Secretaries. If the checks,
which we issue, are are not
cashed within 80 days, such
checks are no longer negoti-
able, which means that we
must then correspond with
the bank and Lodge, and al
so issue duplicate checks. All
this unnecessary work could
be eliminated if the checks.
were cashed as soon as they
are received from the Home

The Glass of Fashion
BY Cecil Beaton. (Doub


Mr.. Beaton, celebrated pho
tographer. once knew @ lady
who intended going to a ball
as an electrically equipped st.
SebaStian-the arrows were to
be studded with stars that
would light up at her entrance.
Unfortunately, however. the
costume short-circuited and
she went into a back somer-
sault instead of to the ball.
He also mentions with APP
prevail a lady who collected
old violins so she could make
shoe trees out Of them.
To disarm his critics. the
author says at the outset he
realizes he may be called a
propaganda of frivolity." He
perseveres however. for almost
400 pages of diverting chit
chat about fabulous ladies who
went to endless trouble to be
in or to set fashion. Starting
with the lavish Edwardians, he
describes their dresses. their
: drawing-rooms and their atti-
tudes and their effect. One
lady is glaringly conspicuous
by her absence. the Duchess of
Windsor. Surely her place in
the history of fashion Is secure
in this century Of the average
man" which Mr.. Beaton sees
