that of insurance. 1t is a sta
bilizing Influence on our econ
omy and it may be considered
as the greatest collateral Sc
curity of organized society.
And while other indus
tries have become obsolete
with the advancement of
civilization and the develop
ment OF the worlds natural
resources, the Insurance
Industry is practically the
same today as it was CEN
turies ago.
There have been changes
Of course to keep abreast of
the times, because insurance
has always been responsive to
the demands of progress and
the requirements of the COM
mon welfare.
And so it must be with the
CFU as we'll. We have a fairly
representative line of basic
insurance certificates today,
and these should be contin-
ued.
We should, however, over
haul our present forms and
incorporate into them some
of the newer ideas which are
gaining in favor among the
American people and which
are quickly adopted by the
commercial companies, and by
an ever increasing number of
fraternals.
The insurance business is a
highly competitive business,
and in order to meet that COM
petition one must adopt some
of the other fellows tricks
and bring out a few Of his
own. We cannot expect to
compete with the commercials
on the same footing if they
are coming out with new
plans which are proving at
tractive to our own people.
Security For Old Age
l realize that basically all
insurance is the same, and all
these new policies that are be-
ing introduced are but varia-
tons Of the basic plans. But
the needs Of our people are
changing and we must change
to conform with these needs.
We should, for example,
come out with a Retire
ment Plan, that is, to make
a variation in our Endow-
ment Plans.
Doesn't Retirement Income
sound much more attractive
and interesting than a 20 Year
Endowment, or Endowment
at 65 Plan ????
The very word suggests not
insurance, but security for
our old age.
And then, too, we could
adopt some of tine supplement

tion, the sponsoring organiza-
ton, expressed his thanks and
pleasure for such a grand at
tendance and hoped that one
and all had an enjoyable time.
AS the program drew to a
close the Maker Orchestra of
Chisholm swung into position
and provided the dance music
for the evening.
Proud Of Federation
We were delighted to hear
SO many kind words of praise
for the Official Family Of the
CFU, especially for Supreme
Treasurer bro. Martin Kra-
sich.
A year ago he addressed
the cOnclave of the Fedora
ted CFU Lodges in the
state of Minnesota and is
remembered by our men,
bers as a great orator.
Our members in Minnesota
are proud of the Federated
Lodges of the CF'U and eager
ly await the annual state con-
clave, which this year took
place in Hibbing.
The Federated Lodges of
the CF'U appear to us to be 4
most vital and important mo-
tivating factor in the frater-
nal, civic and social life of our
members throughout Mime
sofa.
House Of Brotherhood
During our travels through
out the Mesabi Iron Range
we were impressed by the
unity that prevails among our
Yugoslavs and impressed by
the fact that 80 many Yugo-
slavs hold high public offices
of trust, confidence and re-
sponsibility. .,
In spite of the fact that the
Yugoslavs together with the
remaining Slavs comprise the
majority, it was interesting to
us to note that they respect
the rights of the minority ma
tionality groups, as is evident
by the fact that many public
offices are held by members
of the minority nationality
groups. This is a fine exam
pie of true brotherhood on
the part of the All Slavs.
We came away from the
Mesabi Iron Range with a
better understanding of the
lives and ways of our CFU
members. Indeed, here we
find true fraternalists, who
are proud and are striving
to build a bigger and better
CFU.
We consider ourselves most
fortunate to have been able to
spend some time with our
members there. Among them
we found a host of friends,
but above all builders of a
house of brotherhood". In
deed q great people of a great
state.
At this time we wish to
thank Senator Vukelich, Ma
yor Jagunic, bro. Bogdanich
and a host of others who gave
50 much of their valuable time
so that our stay and our trip
through the state of Mime
sofa would be an enjoyable
one.

Proud, Loyal Citizens
AS the last strains of the
national anthems faded a.
mong the echos over Lake
Ely, Mr.. Frank Tekautz, of
Chisholm, Master of Ceremo-
nies, appeared on stage.
After a few short remarks
he introduced the Mayor OF
Eveleth, the Honorable Jo-
seph Jagunich. Mayor Jagu-
Mich extended his greetings of
welcome to the assembled
crowd.
1t was indeed a rare op-
portunity for us to see one
of our own Yugoslavs en-
.joying such a high honor.
1t is a great tribute to our
people who have through
many years of hard labor
contributed to the might
and wealth of these United
States and remained it's
proud and loyal citizens.
The program itself was
most enjoyable, with top en-
tertainment being rendered
by all groups and partici-
pants.
Salutes Young Artists
For us the highlight Of the
program was the appearance
of the Echo Junior Tambur-
itzans and their Kolo Club,
which, we are informed, are
sponsored by the CFU LODI
ges of Hibbing, Chisholm and
Leetonia.
The youngsters are indeed
accomplished musicians with
the Tamburica, the instru-
ment which has been handed
down through the generations
in a peace-loving nation such
as our picturesque Yugosla-
via. The kolo dancers, with
their intricate footwork, were
indeed a rare and impressive
sight.
The glowing success of both
the orchestra and kolo club
is in a large measure due to
the fine leadership and efforts
of the following:
Bro. Tony Crnkovich,
who is the instructor of the
orchestra and who, himself,
is known in the tamburitza
field of music.
Bro. Tony Bauman, who in
structs and heads the kolo
dancers and is know n
throughout the Mesabi Iron
Range for his famed kolos.
Sis. Rose Crnkovich, who is
accompanist for both groups
and who watches over her
charges as a mother hen
watches over her brood.

Program under our method OF
operation could not succeed
without support from the en-
tire Home Office Staff, and
that includes officers and en-
ployees as well,
Unless there was sympa-
thy at the Home Office lev
ell the plan would simply
limp along; the entire pro-
gram would get tOrpedOed
and sabotaged and then
eventually abandoned.
For the purposes Of my
discussion we will presume
that all members of the Off
cial family will get behind the
program and will work con-
scientiously to see it estab-
lished.
Editors And Campaigns
To set up a plan on q firm
footing we would have to es-
tablish a separate department
at CFU Headquarters and
employ a Field Director to
head up the program.
You could not expect the
CF'U Supreme Officials to di-
rect the activities of the Field
Force in addition to their
present duties. This has been
proven to be the case time
and again in our membership
campaigns.
Were it not for the con-
slant campaign material
provided by the Editors,
the membership drives
would have faltered along
the way.
They have slowed down
in any event which points up
the need for a change in our
methods, but the results
would have been disastrous
had not the Editors kept them
going with constant editorial
and other material.
Enter: Field Director
The Field Directors post
would be a full-time opera
ton, and he could be paid a
base salary and "Over-Writ-
ing" commissions on all new
business that would be writ
ten.
Or you could set his means
of remuneration strictly on a
commission basis and credit
him with commissions on all
new business that is written
and charge his account for
his draw in the way of a
monthly salary.
In the selection of a Field
Director | would even venture
so far as to suggest that we
might even consider employ
ing a man who was not even
a member Of the CF'U.
This is a highly skilled
operation and requires a
man with experience in that
line. Other organizations
have employed people out
side their own groups and
it is being done every day.
I'll venture further and
state that many insurance
statesmen probably did not
carry insurance with their
companies when they were
first hired out as agents.
SO while | would naturally
prefer to fill the post with
one of our own people, l would
not allow dearth of candi-
dates from among our mem
bers to be barrier in setting
up the department.
| realize that this sugges-
ton will horrify some of our
members, but | hope there
will be those, too, who will
see merit in the idea.
Recruiting Statesmen
The next big job, of course,
would be the recruiting of
statesmen, and | mean sales
men in the strictest sense.
I. too. appreciate and am

observation OH Tie dNalia-
bility of new insurance
prospects among our peo-
pie l firmly believe that a
force of full time Field Men
could make a very comfor-
table living selling insur-
ance for the CFU, and even
a part-timc group could
earn sizeablc amounts to
augment their income from
their regular jobs.
These insurance statesmen
would have to become ac-
quainted with the entire CFU
operation, and for that pur-
pose an indoctrination course
would be promoted at CF'U
Headquarters and the men
could be called in together to
acquaint themselves with the
operation Of the Society be-
fore they were sent into the
field.
Compensating Field Men
Now as to compensation
there are two ways of COM
pensating the Field Man for
his work.
One method, which strange
ly enough is the most sue
cessful today, is to pay them
only a liberal commission on
all new business that they
write, and give them several
renewal commissions - and
the other method would be to
pay them a modest monthly
retainer, or salary, and a les
ser percentage in commissions
on new business that they
write.
These men would be as
signed territories in which
to work and these terrific
ries should be protected
from raiding by other sales
men. Their job would be to
write new insurance and to
service both new and old
certificates for our MEM
bers.
! They could be used in a
conservation program as well,
and could help in the expedit-
ing of payment cf death
claims and sick benefit
claims, etc.
| am not in agreement with
the idea of having these Field
Men call mass meetings of
Secretaries and other lodge
officers. l would instruct them
to contact the Secretary on
arrival in a locality, or any
other influential member of
the lodge, but the mass meet
ings = with which | am in
accord = should be promoted
by the Supreme Office and
Supreme Officers should at
tend them as they do now.
The Field Men would have
enough work cut out for him
without promoting M a s S
meetings.
Field Far From Barren
! | realize that there are
many pitfalls along the way
toward establishing a success
full Field Department, but
am also confident that a good
and well-directed Field Force
could double our present
membership and insurance in
force.
There was a time when |
thought that a man might
run out of prospects among
Croatians, but this is practi-
cally impossible even with our
limited field. The successful
Field Man could visit and re-
visit the towns in his terri
tory, and when not able to sell
new certificates, he could sell
additional coveragc to those
already insured.
There are very few people
today who can say truthfully
that they have enough insur-

three companions went on a

the strictness of his confinement.

tions were lightened and he and
his companions were allowed to

panied by a single policeman.
