certificate of insurance with Single Premium payment,
which means that the amount of the single payment will
be much lower than payments monthly basis In the
Single Premium payment the 50 cents Funds of the Society
and 10 charge for lodge expenses will also be in
cluded Due to the fact that all lodges do charge the
for expenses had choice but to arrive
at the above fixed amount which considered reasonable
since the lodge would not have any work with
such members, except at time of death

From the former Croatan Brotherhood of Great Falls,
have several members insured the ESQ 212o Table
of Mortality with "Waver of Dues provision, which our
certificates do not have Since the dues for said certificates
much higher than those in effect Society due to
the 2 Table of Mortality and the waiver of Dues
provision the matter referred to Acuary for study
The Acuary is of the opinion and recommends that the
above certificates should be eliminated possible
by offering said members certificates in spite of the
fact that rates much lower By doing would
make business uniform which is very helpful in
compiling actuarial data for computation of Valuations
and would avoid unnecessary explanations for having

refund for the difference of dues from the date
