Michael Grasha -
Junior Order Director

Now hear THIS! FOR A
MERE $8.95 THE JUNIOR
ORDER DEPARTMENT OF
the CF'U IS NOW GIVING
$4,000 PAID-UP CERTIFI-
Gates!
Oh yes, we can see the
raised eyebrows and look Of
disbelief on your, dear read
ers, faces for this is hard to
believe. And yet, it's a fact
as we can, and shall, prove in
this article. We frankly ad-
nit that it was a surprise
even to us, but it just goes to
prove that your Society has
bargains galore and - bar
gains unbelievable.
We received an inquiry re-
Gently from a new but zeal
Gus and energetic Nest Man
ager about our Single Premi-
um coverages. Specifically, he
has junior prospect, Z years
of age, for a $4,000 Educa-
tional Endowment at Age 18
certificate.
rs it true that maturity
options for a $4,000 certifi-
cate arc twice those quoted
i'll the Manual for S1OOO?"
Yes, that is correct and
now let us analyze just what
this prospect will pay and
what he will get in return.
Gain OF S523.99 - But
At age 7 the Single Premi-
UNI cost of a $4,000 Education
al Endowment at Age 18 con-
tract is $1542.01 ($816.8O
first thousand plus $725.21
for the second).
The dividends on all Single
Premiums are So per thou
sand annually after the first
anniversary. This member
will therefore receive II divi-
dends to age Is, thus further
reducing the total cost by $66
to a net $1476.01 ($1542.01-
$4,000. ..
Now that we have estab-
| lished the exact amount of the
cost to the member let us see
what the Croatian Fraternal
Union will give back to him.
At certificate maturity
- 18th birthday - in the
case of an Educational En-
dowment at Age 18 - he
may, if he so desires, with
draw the full $4,000 for
which he has paid exactly
$1476.01. Here we see a net
gain of $523.99.
This choice, though show
ing an impressive profit, is
not the best however for with
it comes severence Of men,
bership and further protec-
ton.
Plus $1467.06 in Cash
A much better selection
would be either of the follow
ing two options:
Option l - the member
| may elect a cash settlement
iof $1467. .O6 and in addition
(and WHAT an addition) a
fully paid up certificate in
the amount of $4,000 which
amount the Society is obi
gated to pay as a death ben
eft.
We have here now a paid
up $4,000 certificate plus a
return of $1467.O6 in cash
and for this, the member
has paid a net $1476.O1.
IF WE SUBTRACT THIS
CASH RETURN FROM THE
NET COST ($1476.O1-$1476.-
{ O6) WE CAN READILY SEE
) THAT THE NEW, BUT Full
LY PAID UP $4,000 CERTI-
|FICATE WILL HAVE COST
BUT $8.95. UNBELIEV-
ABLE - YOU SAY, PER-
lHAPS, - BUT TRUE JUST
THE SAME.
Pay Handsome Dividends
We have, as mentioned a.
, bove, a second option at ma
turity.
, In lieu of withdrawing the
full or part Of the $4,000, the
e member may make the choice
: of taking out no cash and re-
3 ceiving instead a fully paid
up certificate in the amount
of S75O6.0O.
When we consider the fact
that for this he will have paid
but $1476.O1 we can easily
see that here too a bargain is

occasional epistle, if the
writer can vouch for some de-
gree Of regularity, may be
the means of getting the CFU
message to the Rox members.
Even chitchat has it's value
If, occasionally, a word about
the CF'U gets in edgewise in
your daily conversation.
With the appalling alb
senteeism, which is prevalent
not only among CFU lodges,
but in other organizations
and not necessarily always
fraternal orders, the average
member gets to know less
and less about that to which
he belongs or what he pays
toward.
How many local men,
bers, in this age when a
100000 certificates pro-
tective value has been de-
valued by initiation, know
that the Croatian Fraternal
Union can underwrite you
up to ten thousand dollars:
Five thousand dollars with
out a medical examination if
YOU fall within a certain age
bracket?
How many know that the
CFU has it's own "shieId" in
the Income Defender Policy
certificate which pays, pro-
portionately, up to $4,000 a
month if incapacitated to the
point of losing time at work ?
These and many other fea-
lures one learns by attending
meetings, assuming a lodge
office, and by weekly scan
ming the Zajednicar.
A Vast Organization
Fraternal societies have
grown, too, from assets of
264 million in 1915 to 2 and
78-1OOths billion at the close
of 1856.
The largest of these is
the Aid Association for
Lutherans with assets i'm
excess of 228 million dol
lars. The Croatian Frater-
nal Union with 25 million
plus dollars ranks oath.
We point to this solidarity
lest someone may think that
we are trying to inveigle
them into an insecure fielc
or that being protected within
a fraternal society, begun by
their parents, is a risk.
On the contrary it is a.
much an honor to belong a:

''SnOrkeling is an up-and-coming
sport that can be a lot of fun even

Wally explains.
In case you aren't sure what a
snorkel is. it's simply a bent tube
that sticks up in the air with a
mouthpiece at the other end which
takes the place of fish gills In
other words. it enables you to cruise
around on the surface in the sun
with your head under water like a

Former Senator William

stated national policy for edu-

it effective.

Federal aid is needed arc for

Among the various impOr-

Mr. Benton said. These seem

He suggested the passage Of
an education act patterned
