At that time we had
thoroughly and bi-lingually
explained the new Term COW
erage. We had stated also
that the present Term hold
ers, numbering close to
$4,000, would be given the
opportunity of exchanging
the old for the new.
1t was pointed out that a
period of four months, De-
cember 1, 1855, through
March 81, 1856, would be
set aside for effecting the
exchange.
1t is strictly up to the par
ents to decide and upon Sc
lection to complete the desig-
mated "Term Certificate Ex-
change And Release Form"
and forward the same to the
Nest Manager.
Though in the interim
thousands of the forms have
been completed and returned
to us we are daily beset by
letters seeking further expla-
nations, counsel and advice.
To obviate the necessity of
writing countless time con-
suming letters, and to clear
up any remaining misconcep-
tons, we shall herewith once
again explain and emphasize
the salient points of the new
CSC Term certificate as well
as the advisability or inadvi-
stability, as the case may be,
of seeking the exchange.
Same Application Form
First of all, we are still u.s.
ing the same application
forms. Please do not wait for
new ones, for there are none.
Secondly, remember that
after December 1, 1866, all
new business is being placed
on the CSC table. This new

full $500 death benefit right
from age six months and one
day. Should death occur be-
fore the child reaches that
age one fourth of the afore-
mentioned sum or $3.50 will
be paid.
1t should be emphasized
further that we will con-
tinue to waive five months
Term dues every year even
for these new ESQ certifi-
Gates. And, remember too
that the only requisite for
this waiver is that the
member be on our books ON
the previous December.
Since the waivers are Gre
dited during the months of
April through August it
means that after only four
months of membership your
CFU gives you five months
free coverage. Where else
can you receive this most IL
beral treatment?

Home Office Explains Reasons Behind
Delay Of Issuance OF New Certificates

During the past few weeks, have been receiving
letters from lodge secretaries complaining that they did
not receive the certificates for their members
rolled since December l. 1855.
The Ninth Convention adopted the CSC type of
certificate which has to be approved by all the states
and there few states that did not grant their ap
proval as yet.
Therefore, we urge all secretaries and members to
bear with us until secure approval from the few
manning states.

said.
Housing Code Studied
A proposed housing code being
considered by the Citizens
Housing Committee would set
up minimum living space re-
quirements.
A section provides that every
dwelling shall contain 200 square
feet of floor space for the first
occupant and at least $50 square
feet for each additional. Each
room used for sleeping pur-
poses would need 100 square feet
for one occupant and rs square
feet for each additional. No
cellar space could be used as q
dwelling unit. Strict regula-
tons would be set up for use OF
Easements as living quarters.
These and other health and
safety regulations would be en-
forced by the health depart
ment. A board would be set up
to hear appeals from health de-
partment orders.
A hearing on the code is
scheduled at 8 pm. Wednesday
in City Council Chambers. Copies
OF the proposed code will be
distributed. Three speakers will
talk on Alexandra housing con-
ditions and housing problems in
general.
