AS we stated earlier, this
is but a brief outline of the
Family Life" Plan, but it
should give our members an
idea as to its potentialities.
More detailed information and
rates will follow as soon as
they are received from our
Actuary.
The purpose Of this article
is to inform our members
that the CFU leadership is
on the alert and that there
is no need to look for this
type of protection elsewhere,
since we expect to have the
Family Plan insurance in
the very near future.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf
The business of writing sto-
ries or news articles can be
very boring to amateurs like
us, but when you are faced
with a subject or object with
a bright future in a fraternal
organization the boredom
snaps out of you and putting
down a few lines becomes a
pleasure.
So it is again a pleasure to
introduce to you, members OF
the Croatian Fraternal Union,
new member of Lodge 900,
talented young Jim Kosano-
vich Boggio.
Born in Waller, Illinois, Jim,
with his charming mother,
Mildred, (whose parents hail
ed from Lik a, Croatia,)
moved to the West Coast in
1855. After performing with
his accordion on a number
of stages, he took time
enough to 60 back to Waller
to graduate from it's Commu-
nifty High School in May,
1857. Jim now makes his
home in San Francisco.
Ever since his early child
hood days Jim was interested
in music and this interest
gave him a number of impor-
tant contacts in the musical
world. In 1855, he was audi
toned by Mr.. Walter Kolar,
the Director Of Duquesne

that the child be an orphan
or a half orphan. These chill
dren are not eligible for a.
doption.
Prosperity Is Blamed
Saric attributes the decline
in the number Of applications
for admission to the Home to
the time of prosperity most of
our country is enjoying.
There is a staff of 10 at
the Children's Home includ-
ing Saric and three house
mothers. 81 acres of land
are actually owned by the
Home but only 80 are used
for the children; the rest
is rented out for farming.
In addition to the seven
buildings there are a number
of acres of play area for the
children including baseball
diamond.
Many activities are provi-
ded to keep the children busy
and happy. For example there
is the Croatian Children's
dancing group. They are
members of the Homes or
chestra and are taught by Mr..
J. Rozgay.
This summer for the first
time the extra space at the
Home was leased to two
teachers from Des PLANES,
Mr.. Klein and Mr.. Helms, for
a summer day camp. This
worked out very well and may
be continued next year.

the wife applies if she is the
same age as the husband.
However, said coverage is in
creased a certain amount for
each year she is younger than
her husband, and decreased a
certain amount per year if
she is older.
Matter OF Dividends
Please bear in mind that
the coverage on the Payor
only is entitled to cash values
and dividends since the cover
age on the dependents is
merely term protection.
When the wife reaches the
age of IS, her coverage auto
matically ceases and when the
children reach the age of Is,
their coverage also ceases.
However, at age 25, each
child may apply for any
permanent coverage issued
by the CFU up to 5 times
their Term coverage, or
S500O.OO per unit, without
a certificate of insurability.
Thus, their rates would be
based on their attained age
and the type and amount of
insurance chosen, without a
medical examination.
Another very important
feature of the Plan is that in
the event of death Of the
Payor prior to the wife reach
ing age IS or the children
age 25, their coverage would
be kept in force until said
ages are reached without any
further dues payments re-
quired. In other words, they
would receive fully paid up
coverage for the remainder
of their respective term per-
iods.
In the event of death of any
child between the age of l
month and 6 months, the sum
of $250.00 would be payable
for each unit of coverage and
the full amount of 100000
thereafter. This rule applies
to all children added after the
issue date.
Permanent Disability
Finally, should the Payor
become disabled permanently,
his dues would be waived
after the 9Th month of such
disability. However, in such
cases, the Society would re-
serve the right to request a
medical report on said Payor
at least once each year.
As of now we are not
positively sure, but we feel
that any Payor in the ages

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Last
week, the Executive Board,
Officials and our Actuary,
Mr.. Bruce, held a special
meeting to discuss the newest
type of insurance coverage
now on the market, which is
known as the Family Life"
or Family Group" Plan.
The reason for our inter-
est and concern in this plan
became very obvious be-
cause of the fact that many
of our lodge secretaries and
nest managers informed us
that some of our members
are dropping their CFU in
surance in favor of the
Family Plan" and, as a
result, we asked for advice
and information about the
plan.
After the conference with
Mr.. Bruce, who had further
explained the plan to the
Officers and Officials, and
had answered questions pre-
sented to him, the Board
unanimously agreed to pre-
sent the Family Plan" to the
Supreme Board of Directors
! for adoption at it's September
1857, session and to have said
plan available to our mem.
bers by January /, 1858.
Unit In A Nutshell
In order that our members
may better understand the
benefits and provisions of the
plan, we shall herewith out.
line its most important as
poets:
The Plan itself covers al
members of a family under
, one certificate, and the due:
5 are based on the age Of thu
/. head Of the family (called tho
, Payor), who is the father.
The wife is automatically
eligible, as are all children
over l month of age to 25
2 years of age, whether now
living or born after the con-
tract is put into effect.
The dues remain the sam
for the entire period Of tn
contract regardless of tn
number of children addet
after the issue date.
The Family Plan is issuet
in units of $5OO0.00 and no
more than 2 units will be al
lowed to each family.
Each Unit will comprise th'
following:
1.-S5OOO.OO Endowment a
age IS certificate on tn
father (Payor);
2.-S1OOO.0O Term to ag'
65 insurance on the wife;
3.-$1000.0O Term to az
rs insurance on each child;
4.-Accidental death bene
fit on both Payor and hi
|wife;
5.-Total and permanen
disability waiver of premium
on Payor;
6.-Waiver of Dependent
premiums in event of dealt
of Payor while any dependen
is covered.
Streamlined Coverage
: Should the Payor die b.
i accidental means, each unit
e automatically doubled on tn
:. Payor only.
t Should the wife die be-
fore the Payor reaches the
age of 65, her coverage is
transferred to the Payor
which increases his insur-
ance accordingly, this not
: withstanding the fact that
: her coverage is paid in full
s to the PayOr.
