a retail store in WatertoWn,
New York, where he helped
introduce a "5c counter" AT
ter watching the rapid success
of that idea, Frank asked Mr..
Moore to help him financially
in establishing a SC store of
his own.
Reluctantly and with mis-
givings, Moore extended Gre
dit to Frank for goods to the
amount of $3.50. The young
clerk selected a balanced
stock totalling $315.41 and
promised to send in his ship
ping order later.
Frank then left on a
scouting trip to Syracuse,
Auburn. Rochester, Rome
and Utica, New York. He
considered Utica - then a
thriving city of $4,000 -
the most promising location
for his business. There, OIL
a street away from the
shopping district, he chose
a tiny store. Rent was a
dollar a day, but would not
be due for thirty days.
Then he wired shipping in

A CCORDING TO statisticians on the pay
~ roll of the Federal Government, the
future of this Country of ours shapes up
like this on the basis of cold figures: -
BY the time you read this particular edl-
torial another American will be born; by
this time tomorrow, we'll have 1000 new
Americans among us; and by next month,
a city the size of Syracuse, New York, will
have been added to the strength of the Uni
ted States as a whole.

. Although the Government doesn't
keep track of such matters we assume that
many of the 1000 new arrivals of tomor-
row are earmarked for the homes of our
people here in the United States.
But what bothers us is how many OF
these bundles of JOY will be duly enrolled
in the Croatian Fraternal Union as men,
bers of it's Junior Order Department.
How many? Who knows.
Then why devote any space to some
thing only time can come to answer?
Because we must keep alive our fran
chise as the Chairman Of the Croatian Fra
ternal Unions 1857 Membership Campaign
Committee by reminding our Field Workers
that newborn baby members are as welcome
as ever in the Society.
And worth money to those who sign
them on the proverbial dotted line.

But liz Cents Monthly


member gets even more!
Let us keep in mind that
the first full year is absolute
ly free, providing that at
least one of the parents is a
CFU member and that the
child is enrolled within six
months of birth. That leaves
II years of dues payments.
During that time 5 months of
each year is waived thus turn
ing back another SIT to the
parents.
And, then there is still a.
mother refund-upon transfer
to adult membership the new
CSC Term certificate will
give you a transfer credit Of
so cents per year of Term
membership. This can give
you back another SO.
We can see then that the
total cost would be computed
in this manner: At 25 cents
per month it would be So per
year or, in 18 years, gross
of S54. From this we subtract
the first year, $3-which is
free, II years Of 5 months
waivers, $17-and transfer
credit of SO for a total of $29
The gross was $54, the Gre
dts were $29 thus leaving a
net cost of but $25.
If we divide the months OF
membership (18 years times
12-216) into the net cost WE
can readily see that it aver.
ages out to but 11l2 cents
per month. Think of it-a full
$500 death benefit protection
for but H. cents a month.
