classic examples that we per-
sonally have run across re-
Gently. We know that you,
our readers, have heard some
good ones too and it only
tends to emphasize the almost
unbelievable generosity of
our Society.
The fact that some Of the
demands made upon it are
absolutely unfair and impos-
sible of achievement in no
way minimizes their frequen-
cy or persistence. We know
that other insurance institu-
tons abide strictly by the
contract-there is no lenien-
cy, no extra contractual ben
efits-and strangely enough,
none are expected.
But oh, how different
with that CFU certificate
holder! On the convention
floor in Philadelphia last
September we were CALLED
no end by a disparaging
comparison of some trif-
ling benefit allegedly given
by another fraternal and
not yet praciced by the
Croatian Fraternal Union
We lost no time in point
ing out that while that other
organization had just began
paying dividends our C.F.U.
has returned many millions of
dollars to it's membership in
a dividend history of many
years standing.
Some Demand The Moon
Then there was the men,
ber who accosted us person
ally at a social affair, hun
dreds of miles from here, and
wanted to know whether he
was to receive any operation
benefits for the removal Of a
stye!
Though this does not
come under our personal
jurisdiction we did volun-
teer the belief that no Op-
Grafton benefits were forth
coming for this surgery"
which cost all of SIS. There
upon we personally and the
organization generally
were treated to some choice
descriptives and opinions.
AS a final argument and
"clincher" in this members 8
repertoire of proofs that the
CFU wasn't all that it's
cracked up to be he stated
that his wife too received no
compensation for a very SER
ious operation.
We retorted that his wife
not only did not carry sick or
disability coverage-she was
not even a member. To that
he replied that latter all does
not the fact that he had been
paying dues for himself these
many years mean anything?'
At this point we gracefully
bowed out! T.
Quick On The Trigger
Then there was the fellow
who berated us with gusto
because his wife had received
"only $4,000 for a certain
operation while a surgical
policy paid her $4,000
We were able to elicit the
information that that policy
cost her in the neighborhood
of $4,000 annually.
We naturally couldn't
then help but ask him that
could he honestly and in
clear conscience expect
more from the CFU where
that protection which had
given $4,000 had cost but
$500 a year-yes, just rs
cents per month!
It was useless to pursue the
argument, for here too the
impossible was sought anc

mand a cash settlement-the
return of every cent paid in
including the administrative
expense loading.
She no doubt gets back her
fire and auto insurance pre-
miums every year if she suf-
fers no fire or auto mishaps!
In Time OF Emergency
Not too long ago the Exec
utive Board received an ap-
peal from a matured certifi-
cate holder for permission to
solicit the membership for fl
nancial assistance. Headquar-
ters was requested to under
write the expense of printing
and postage.
Ironically enough this
certificate holder had insis-
ted on severing all ties be-
tween himself and the Uni
on upon the maturity of
his certificate.
Despite the fact that he
was urged, as are all, to con-
tinue paying the expense or
administrative funds ($.32)
and thus retain his lodge
membership and rights to
certain very definite and at
tractive benefits, he refused.
Yet now when he is in need
of one Of these benefits which
he voluntarily rejected he
hesitates not in asking for it.
This Is Fraternalism
Yes there are such, but all
these examples of demands
beyond reason can be bal.

portrayal of fraternalism al
