Pennsylvania has been given
a Bill, which, from all indi-
cations, will be enacted into
law, which would give all fra
ternal organizations d o m i
ciled in this state. even great
er opportunities for bolster
ing their expense funds, so
long as the organization S
solvency is not endangered.
This Bill will be passed by
the time our convention will
meet in September, and the
convention will be able to dis
cuss this question and bring
it's decision. Those lodges
which are weak financially,
will thus be helped to give
fair remuneration to their
secretaries and still be able
to reward the remaining lodge
officers, if a decision is reach
ed along the lines of the fore
going discussion.
1t is high time that we
all realize that our lodge
officers are the buIwark of
the Unions very progress.
Good work demands ade-
quate reward.
Let us start with a small
reward to the most impor-
tant officer in the lodge, the
lodge secretary. This, we are
morally obligated to do, if we
are materially able to do so.
SO much for this important
question in view of the ap-
preaching Ninth Convention.

Payments For 1866 Represent Greatest
Such Outlay In History Of Organization
BY Joseph Bella, Supreme Secretary
Pittsburgh Pa. Once again. has been the case in
the years. the Croaan Fraternal Union last week

This year. for the first time since 1949 the dividend has

The Unions solvency on
January /, 1851, stood at
105.6ot; on December 81,
1854, it was 111.06fo. That
means that our solvency in
the past four years rose over
A. points, which means that
for every hundred dollars of
liabilities, the Union has
$111.06.
A report on these statistics
will be prepared for the con-
vention by our Actuary.
1t is understood that credit
for these advances and
growth of the organization
goes, first, to the high de-
gree of fraternalism of our
membership, as well as to the
capable Administration elect.
ed by the membership to lead
the organization.
The solidity of all of our
funds, and especially of the
Administration Fund as a re.
suit of the relief afforded by
state law, compels me, with
the approach Of the conven'
ton, to bring up a timely
topic about which | wrote be.
fore the Eighth Convention
and which matter was de.
! ferred for the future by very
reason Of the uncertain con-
dition of the Administration
Fund. That question is this:
Can the Union assume
full or partial responsible
! ty for payment of remuner-
alton or reward to our
lodge secretaries for their
work in the lodge? At the
time l discussed this ques-
ton i'm 1851, I stated ap-
prOXimately the following:
! "One-half of our lodges ex-
perience difficulty, at annual
meetings, in electing new Of
ficers, and especially as con-
Germs the lodge secretary
because the responsibilities
and duties of the secretary
are becoming greater anC
harder, while the reward is
far too inadequate. The spe
cial awards to lodge secreta
ries for conservation Of the
membership during the year
have revived, to some extent
our lodge work, as the lodge
secretaries have undertaken
to keep in our ranks those
young members who arr

Order to the senior member

losses were previously exceed
ingly high, after the transfer
credit of these young mem

lodge secretaries have vir

of the lodge, and our lodge
meetings have once again, a!

Upon examining the
trend in the growth and
stability of our Administra-

four years, l believe that
the coming Convention can
decide that the lodge sec

balance up to one dollar

the remaining so cents, be

lSOf .............,..,. LOo, t1l''o
By decision of the Supreme
Board made in March, the di-
vidends to our members have
been restored to the same le-
vel as they were five years
ago, that is, the 800 reduc-
ton made necessary since
1949 due to lower interest
yield on investments, has
been restored.
Because of this restOra-
ton of full dividends, there
will be paid, for this year,
close to 80 thousand dol
lars more than in previous
years, and that, without
jeopardizing the sOlvency
of the Croatian Fraternal
Union one iOta.
In the same period Of four
wears, an increase was
achieved in the Administra-
ton Fund without resort to a
special assessment, which was
discussed at the last Conven-
ton, so that not only is ou1
Administration Fund solvent
but we were also able, by an
nual transfers, to build up q
fund for the expenses of the
coming convention, in the
amount of close to $50 thou
sand dollars, which amount,
believe, will cover the expen.
ses of the Ninth Convention
To enable this to be done, our
members will recall that a
referendum vote approved
transfer of a certain sum
from the Surplus Fund into
the Administration Fund, as
permitted by the Insurance
Department of the Common.
wealth of Pennsylvania.
Despite all of these in
creased benefits to our
membership by way of di-
vidends, waving of special
conve ton assessments,
ETC., the CrOatian Frater-
nal Union spurted ahead in
all phases of its financial
standing, namely, in total
assets, in surpluses in it's
various funds, and in sol
vency.
It's total assets were in.
creased in excess of one mil.
lion dollars each year, or 22cc
in the short period of -four
years, from 19 million to %
million dollars. In the same
period, the surplus in the
Mortuary Fund was increased
close to 200 thousand dollars
or a little over Sc in the past
four years, despite the fact
that a special reserve was es.
tablished to cover possible
losses on bond investments,

members of the Junior Order
upon transfer to the adult
membership during this year,

will reach the tremendous
amount of over 200 thousand

Considering our total

this huge refund to our
