Calvert, which the Porters hum
bled 1854 earlier in the season,
proved to be tough customer as
they stayed right with the locals.
Calvert was on the short end of a
1887 halftime score as the Red
skin defense failed to retard the
Tiffin shooting.
The big 3rd period spelled de-
feat for Calvert as, the Redskins
tightened their defense holding
Tiffin to Z points while P. C. pour

and Tim Mulligan 5 in this frame.
The Porters' win gave them
their 18th victory of the season as
against losses.
The big factor in the Redskin
win was their terrific foul shoot
ing. They hit 80 per cent connect

a perfect night from the foul line
hitting 10 out of 10.

Endowment At Age 65

\ AUCH has been said on these pages re-
w garding the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on's new 80 Commissioners Standard Or
dinary (CSO) Adult Certificates, which
were adopted during it's 9th National Quad
rennial Convention of 1855.
Effective as of December L. 1855,
these are Ordinary Endowment at Age
IS, Twenty-Pay Endowment at Age IS,
Endowment at Age 65, and the ever at
tractive TwentyYear Endowment.
We intend to discuss these Certificates
editorially during the weeks ahead - TAX
ing them up one at time in order not to
confuse the Zajednicar's readers
To begin with, let us look into the CSC
Endowment at IS Certificate.
Replacing the Society's old Endowment
at 20 plan, this Certificate was scaled down
five years, insofar as maturity age is con-
cerned, in order that it might conform with
the retirement age as required under the
Social Security Act of the United States.
At our personal age, to take out 81 900
Endowment at 65 Certificate would cost us
$454 monthly. Since we are already paying
so cents into the Society's various funds,
plus Lodge Obligations S4.54 is all we would
have to pay monthly to qualify for the pro-
lection. Which is reasonable.
At the age Of 65 years we could exercise
one of two Options to be found in this fine
Endowment at 65 Certificate.
~ We could apply for a Paid-Up Ger
tificate of $1,000 plus Cash Payment
of S2S469. Or p we could obtain a Paid
Up Certificate OF $l,39S with no Cash
Payment involved.
AT age IS, this would really amount to
nest egg for our family and help us
enjoy life in our declining years.
X
We would recommend this Endowment
at Age 65 Certificate as a potential "best
seller" to those participating in the Soci-
ety's great 1856 Membership Campaign.
1t is as good All investment as any in
the competitive insurance field.
Certainly it is worth the careful thought
of those interested in their future after the
age of IS years, now the nationally accepted
retirement age.

DObrO Nam DOSli

THE merger January 6, 1856 of the Gro
attain Brotherhood, Great Falls, Mon
tana, with the Croatian Fraternal Union is,
to us, but another classic example Of the
greatness of our Society.
Surely no member of the now former
Brotherhood will ever come to regret his
affiliation with an organization which
since it's birth in 1894 has gone on to be-
come mult-million dollar institution
of world renown.
We have often said in the past that it
is indeed privilege to be member of the
Croatian Fraternal Union We do not mind
repeating as much on the occasion of this
merger, one brought about in the best in
terest of our new brethren in Montana.
There are other similar groups which
would be better off - by far better off -
if they merged their ranks with those of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
In the American scheme of things
our Society is here to stay. Its numerical
and financial might are such as to make
this as certain as anything can be.
Mergers in America are commonplace.
They are an economic necessity in many
instances. In others they represent the only
salvation open to small organizations.
We believe the former members of the
Croatian Brotherhood will agree that this
was true in their case. The Croatian Frater-
nal Union bids them all welcome

Award before the drive ends July 81 next
While no one can forecast how many
will eventually make the trip we feel rea-
sonably safe in predicting that hundreds
will come to enjoy the planned thirty-day
stay overseas with the compliments Of the
greatest humanitarian organization of it's
kind in the world.
We have been in too many Campaigns
since 1910 not to see in this one the MAX
ings" of membership drive without paral-
lei in the history of the Society.

Which brings to mind that there was
a time when one had to join the United
States Navy to sec the world.
Now membership in our Society can
mean the same thing to those interested in
recruiting new members and competing for
a Grand Campaign Prize Award.
AS witness these facts.
~ The Grand Campaign Prize Award Of
some years ago was a trip to Los Angeles,
California, as an Honorary Delegate to the
vention of 1851.
~# - The 1852 Campaign Grand Prize
Award was January 1858, vacation in
fabulous Miami Beach, Florida, still a
fond memory i'm the minds Of many.
81 The 1854 Campaign called for the
Grand Prize Award Winners to visit his
toric Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Sep
tember of 1855 as Honorary Delegates to
the Croatian Fraternal Unions 9th Nation
al Quadrennial Convention.
~ And the 1855 Campaign Grand Prize
Award opened the way for many American
and Canadian youngsters and adults to vi
sit Gary, Indiana, July IA last as Junior
and Honorary Senior Delegates to the So
ciety's 4th National Junior Convention, a
success of the first magnitude by every
standard of measurement.
So, our Campaign Grand Prize Winners
have been on the go in recent years and
enjoying life in the United States.
First to the Pacific Coast, Los Ange-
les. Next to the deep South, Miami
Beach And then to the Midwest, Gary.
Finally to the Atlantic Coast side of this
great Nation, Philadelphia.
But in August of this year they will
really travel To - Yugoslavia.
Verify, to be a member of the Croatian
Fraternal Union is to become eligible to see
the world. Who knows where the Campaign
Grand Prize Winners in years to come will
find themselves,

Opatija is particularly

80 days.
Further popular resorts on
the Kvarner Riviera are Vo-

THE appearance throughout America the

Folk Ballet will represent a new chapter in
the currently harmonious relations between
the United States and Yugoslavia.
For one thing, it will mark the first such
American tour by a Yugoslav cultural
group since the end of World War II. For
another, it means that the American gov
ernment is becoming increasingly interest
ed in the centuries old culture of Yugosla-
via, no less so than the Yugoslav govern
ment is interested in Americana.
Some will argue that to say as much
is to be an apOlogist for Yugoslavia - to,
in effect, agree with everything every
