help from the Union, while

offered to contribute a GER
tain sum of money annual
ly into a GU scholarship
fund, if such is established,
and from which scholar
ship assistance would be
given to needy and deserv-
ing students with the pro-
viso that they will return
the amount received into
the fund, so that it can be-
come permanent and self
sustaining.
It was further decided that
students whose applications
will be approved, be made to
realize the need for just such
a permanent fund, as we'll as
the fact that it would be nice
of them not to forget the So
ciety and this assistance
which is now extended them
for continuing their educa-
ton, and that they make a
personal contribution at some
future time for the scholar
ship fund for at least the
amount which they receive
from it, and more, if possible.
In that manner, they will
have not only repaid the So
ciety for the good which it is
doing them today, but at the
same time will be affording
the new generation of GU.
members an opportunity for
scholarship as 8 e in
greater measure than is pos
sible to give today.
Past Aid Appreciated
A number of letters have
been received from our pro-

in the past received scholar

which they received, but even
to make regular annual con-

No End To Generosity
Instances of this generosity
are marked in the minutes of
practically every Executive
Board meeting, for this act
has to be approved and so re-
corded.
Just recently the Union
wiped out the debt of an old
members certificate and paid
a single premium totaling
$536 to give him a debt-free
certificate for $500. This
means of course that he has
had a larger certificate but
had so burdened it with debt
that the Society had to ex-
pend $536 to erase the debt
and buy the new contract.
In layman's language,
this means that the men,

Department at the Home
Office.
The application blank con-
tains a QUESTIONABLE, which
must be answered in full to
enable the Supreme Board to
evaluate and decide each ap-

The minutes of the SUI
preme Board show that an
extensive, but constructive,
discussion was had on this
subject. A variety of opinions
were presented, as well as a
report, supported by figures,
on our past experience with
scholarship aid.
On the very basis of this
past experience, the Supreme
Board brought the decision
for the establishment on a
firm foundation of a scholar
ship Fund, which will permit
the fund to develop into a
permanent fund, from which,
eventually, will be offered not
only direct assistance to
needy and deserving students,
with no strings attached, but
also loans to financially lack
ing students, with the obi
cation for repayment of the
loan, without interest, when
and as they are able, after

ficulty in retaining their
younger-generation members,
after they leave their paren-
tai homes.
For that reason, we will
adhere closely to that pro-
vision of the Boards deci-
sion which requires that
each application for scho-
larship aid be recommend
ed by the lodge officers,
and thus make the appli-
cant cognizant of the fact
that he Is indebted to the
members of his own lodge
for the assistance which he
received from the Society.
There were cases in the
past, where the officers and
members of a lodge did not
know that one Of their men,
bers was the recipient Of a
scholarship from the Union,
until they read of it months
later, in the official organ.
That is why we are empha-
sizing the fact that this deci-
sion of the Supreme Board Is
only the beginning of a per-
manent scholarship fund, to
which the Union will pay reg
ular annual contributions out
of the Educational-S ports
Fund.

PITTSBURGH To present yet another factual ar
gument refuting that CFU critics contention that every
member pays in much more than he gets back" we shall
today concern ourself with a few of the many extra-con-
tractual benefits which are daily reaped by our old members.
For our first argument let us cite truly a gesture SUI

PITTSBURGH - At its March meeting, the Supreme
Board directed the establishment, in the Educational-Sports

dollars, to be called the Scholarship Fund, out of which
scholarship assistance is to be awarded annually to a certain
number of deserving and needy students, thereby enabling
them to continue their education in the institution of higher

preme-a prlncely SlIL OF 9l,i
ship in general specifically
for the benefit of old men,
bers. This sum was needed in
order to place the old 40 and
3b% certificates on a SOL
vent basis, on a par with the
present $50 issues.
Old members possessing
those certificates whose
rates were predicated on a
higher investment return
were faced, some 8 years
ago, with the prospect of
special assessments or liens
on their certificates or
both.
Due to the economic stu
alton in the country it was no
longer possible to earn those
rates on investment. New
members had to accept lower
interest bearing certificates
with the consequent increase
in monthly rates. For the old
members the only "outs"
seemingly were the two men
toned above, and we might
point out that the Society had
the legal and moral right to
utilize them.
This Is Fraternalism!
In accordance with it's long
established record of frater-
nalism. to the core, it chose
instead the fraternal solution.
It decided to do the
least painful thing-to uti-
lie the Contingency Re-
serve Fund, which inciden-
tally was built up, in the
main, from favorable earn
ings on the younger go
certificate contributions
thus from the pockets of
the younger members.
Since this source wasn't
quite sufficient, dividends on
all contracts were reduced
3O% for a few years. (Inci-
dentally those dividends were
placed back on a 1909 basis
last year and the Society is
now giving back the impress
sive sum of over $780, 900 to
it's members in the form of
dividends. We defy anyone to
produce a more generous di-
vidend record anywhere, any
time.)
This is indeed a peerless ex-
ample of the true generosity
of our Society and proof pos
tive that it's members re-
ceive much more than they
put in.
What about The Needy?
There are many other ex-
amples of extraordinary gen.
erous treatment of old men,
bers by our CFU but one
stands out as the incompar-
able fraternal gest.
That is, Of course, the fact
that the Society does not
drop any of it's old members
even when these can no long
er pay dues and even when
that dues debt has practically
erased their equity in the
certificate.
BY decision of the 1913
convention old and INDECENT
members are guaranteed at
least a $500 certificate even
if they had exhausted their
reserve and rights to Ma
tional Fund benefits. As
we know, a certificate ac-
cumulates a cash or re-
serve value after a certain
time. That value grows
year by year and can be
used as collateral for a.
cash loan or as premium
payments in the event of
such need.
Now whereas in most or
CARNATIONS the exhausting Of
this value, and the inability
