March 31st, 1856, Remains DeadIine
For Switch From Old Term Certificate
Exchange Wouldn't Necessarily Benefit
All Youngsters Affiliated With Society

| Ill the u ana the Junior
! Magazine may be used.
Not To Advantage Of All
Now here is the final and
a most important considera-
ton.
Frankly, in some cases it
would not be to the members
advantage to seek the ex-
change. If we have a compre-
hensive understanding of the
old Term certificate we can
readily see when and why an
exchange can be desirable or
not.
Your old Term certifi-
cate carries a scale of
Death Benefits which de-
termine the amount to be
paid in the event of death.
From that scale we can see
that these benefits are con-
ditiOned on the age at
Time of Joining" and the
length of membership.
We can see that if the
member was enrolled within
2 years of birth and has held
that certificate a full II years
that the contract now bears
the full $500 death benefit
coverage.
And in addition such men,
ber will be eligible for a
transfer credit in the amount
of $3.50.
To seek an exchange for
the new CSC Term would
give one no additional NOR
tuary protection, but it would
reduce the transfer credit to
5000. Therefore such a men,
ber would be better off to
hold on to the old certificate.
A Voluntary Proposition
Another example: - If a
member joined at age 10, and
has been in the Junior Order
for Z years under the old
Term contract, it is now
worth the full 5000 in event
Of death.
So here too such a men,
Der would lose in transfer
credits, for under the new
certificate at age Is he would
be entitled to $500 $50 cents
per year, transfer credits,
whereas under the old con-
tract he would get 1921 for
8 years of membership.
In conclusion, therefore,
let us restate briefly that the
exchange is strictly a volun-
tary proposition. If the old
certificate is retained it will
remain in force with it's old
cost, annual waivers, transfer
credit and, naturally, graded
death benefits to certain
years.
The exchange will bene-
fit certain members under
conditions outlined above,
but would definitely and
frankly be a bad bargain
for others. The choice is up
to the parents and they
alone can make it. There
now remains 2 months to
do so.
We realize that all this
means extra work for the
parents, for the Nest Man.
ayers and for us. We are
guided however by one con-
sideration and one considera-
tion alone-regardless of per-
sonal inconvenience, one and
all are dedicated to the ideal
of giving our members the
best possible protection for
the least possible cost.
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-02-08
CONTINUED From Page y

In addition we will continue
to give a full years free COW
erage to all new Term mem
bers who are enrolled within
six months of bir n and pro-
viding further that at least
one parent is a CFU member.
Lowering Was Necessary
With all of this, the waiv-
ers, the first years free COW
erage and the full $500 death
benefit protection, the month
ly dues remain at Just rs
cents.
Of this sum 20 cents lex
cept for the first month, as of
old, when the full 25 cents
is charged as Initiation fee)
is sent to the Home Office
while 5 cents remains with
the Nest.
Now here is the one and
only departure from the old
practice under the new CSC
Term certificate. In order to
make possible the maximum
($60O) death coverage right
from age six months and one
day it was absolutely neces-
sary to reduce the transfer
credits.
When the Term member
becomes 18 and must join
a senior lodge his Term
transfer credit will be
based OH SO cents for each
year of membership. Thus
the maximum new transfer
credit will be $500 instead
of the old figure of $3.50,
but the difference in actual
mortuary protection is well
worth it.
Let us be ever mindful
however that even with this
reduction of transfer credits
the net monthly cost for this
wonderful new CSC Term
certificate, this peerless piece
of protection-is a mere II Y
cents. Can you match that
anywhere else?
Why Not Blanket Ruling?
Now to take up the pros
and cons for exchange. Ma
ny lodge and nest officers
have asked-why not a blan-
ket ruling to place all old
business on the new basis?
This would be permissible
and most desirable were it
not for the fact that the new
contract reduces transfer Gre
dts. We, therefore, cannot
arbitrarily take away this
equity, even if in some cases
it were outweighed by greater
protection, without the con-
sent of the parents.
Some managers have
complained that this ex-
change is placing an unjust
burden upon them-they
cannot possibly canvas all
members. We want to
point out that it is not ne
cessary to 60 from door to
door, nor could we expect
them to do so.
The publicity of the sub
.ject in the Official Organ and
even in the Junior Magazine
has been adequate enough to
acquaint all with the matter.
1t is the duty of the manager
only to supply and return the
completed Exchange forms.
Even in the matter of sup
plying the forms, the problem
has been simplified somewhat
by the printing of the forms
in both organs. These forms

toward it's members.
We are sure that the men,
bers of a number of Croatian
Independent societies thru
out America, and especially
on the Pacific Coast, will also
be interested, tentative re-
quests for information for
their own merger with our
Society having been made in
the past.
Let these discussions,
which will appear in the
next few issues of the Ia
iednicar, serve as an ex-
ample or guide in drawing
up terms and conditions
for both parties, and which
must be approved by the
states in which each organ
ization is incorporated.
The terms and conditions
of the reinsurance agreement
are not only the concern of
representatives of the organ
izations involved, but are
very much conditioned upon
the requirements of the laws
of the individual states, as
we'll.
Why Merger Took Time
In the present consolida-
ton of the Croatian Brother
hood and the Croatian Fra
ternal Union, the Insurance
Commissioner of the State of
Montana was very much con-
cerned that the interests of
the members of the Croatian
Brotherhood be protected by
the agreement, and that it's
terms be as favorable as
possible.
On the other hand, the In
surance Commissioner of the
Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania looked after the inter-
ests Of the present member
ship of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union. This will explain
why it took such a long time
before the agreement could
be put into effect.
The first and most impor-
tant section of the agreement
is as follows:
1. The Union shall accept
all members of the Brother
hood for the same amount of
insurance as they now carry
in the Brotherhood. A |
monthly contributions to the
Mortuary Fund will remain
the same as are now in effect
in the Brotherhood. Contribu-
tons Of 80 cents per month
will be charged to each men,
ber of the Brotherhood,
which sum shall be applied to
the Administration Expense
Fund, the National Educa-
tional and Relief Fund, and
the fund for the promotion
of sports. Payment into this
fund shall include the privi-
leges and availability of the
Official Organ and Children's
Home. The amount of this
payment will remain as here
in stated unless changed in
accordance with the bylaws
of the Union.
Upon the effective date Of
this agreement all members
of the Brotherhood shall be

 Of the latter, John Kerr and Susan Strasberg stand out in their first appearances before the mo- ton pictcre cameras. Kerr is the young actor who scored spectac- ular hit on the Broadway stage in Tea and Sympathy" and Miss Strasberg is the girl who won critical acclaim for her portrayal of Juliet in coast-to-coast TV presentation of Romeo and Ju- liet."

Sealed Cribs Are Available For Last Boat Freight
Editor Bob Atwood Is Guest of Chamber

Nome merchants welcomed the announcement by Walt Sipprell at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Tuesday that sealed cribs would be available for ship ments on the last boat. Sipprell also stressed the importance of ordering as early as possible be- cause of an expected large vol ume of shipping.

 An interesting visitor was Bob Atwood, publisher of the Anchor age Daily Times, who told of the policies that he had found useful in his long and active service with the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.
