IRON WHAT WE HAVE brought out here, it clearly
r. follows that the Croaan Fraternal Union of America
is in big business the business of selling life insur-
ance We selling firstcass insurance only fun

The member does not have die before his benefc

But we selling than mere insurance We
are selling every member the of fraternity and
between cold business and intimate nationally
conscious fraternal organization.
So, in addition to insurance, selling Frater
naism which in reality the fundamental basis of
organization.
Without the close and friendly ties without the ma
ona without the sincere brotherhood which
our pioneers instled in the Croatan Fraterna Union
would not stand on the lofty pedestal which occupies

We have skipped many important events in the life of
the Croatan Fraternal Union in this opening talk Of
discussions.
We did so to allow time for general discussion,
but deemed necessary to give at least cusoy review of
our organizations history
1t is hoped, through these lectures and discussions,
to the interest of sufficient number of our
younger members who could possibly fill in as Field
Representatives.
These would be required not only to know our certi-
but the history of the organization itself That

PITTSBURGH - In our
frequent contacts with lead
ers of other fraternal benefit
societies we've become accus-
toned to the one universal
plaint-dwindling lodge meet
ing attendance.
In fact some orders have
been forced to change their
basic method Of operation be-
cause of this malady. They've
had to set up dues collection
agencies and direct billing.
In our personal opinion
this is the first admission
of the failure of the frater-
nal system for it further
reduces the need for atten-
dance at a meeting.
And. without a formal
lodge meeting how can fra
ternalism function since, in es-
sence, most of it's attributes

and fraternal contact - can
be given life only by a physi-
cal meeting of minds and
hearts of fraternalists at a

Getting Rid of Pains in the Neck
By DR.. PETER j. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: What
are the common causes
of pain in the neck? And the
usual treatments? Thank
you. Sincerely. Mr.. E. M.
The most common cause OF
neck pain is pressure on the
cervical. nerve roots. In the ma
iority Of cases this is due to in
bury. narrowed and 'degener-
ated discs between the YER
tebra), or hypertrophic arth-
fitis. These conditions cause
pressure on the spinal nerves;
and the resultant lessened
blood supply and irritation pro-
duce the muscle spasm and
pain.
The most efficacious treat
inent is physical therapy. It's
purpose Is to bring increased
blood supply, relieve muscle
spasm and provide more space
for the spinal nerves.
This is accomplished by US
ing heat In various forms, mas
sage, and traction to the head.
A head halter is used and as
much as 70 or 80 pounds of
traction is sometimes used,
Usually 20 to IS pounds of trac-
ton three times weekly are
Sufficient.

nobody to report to can be-

He also made a discovery on
clothes. He says that in the
i've years before retirement he
bought an average Of one and
q half suits a year, five shirts,
three ties, one hat, and a third

retired with two, fairly good

in the two years since he has

Need for Clothes Lessons
"You think you are probably
going TO need the same kind of
clothes in retirement. But you
don't. Shirt-and-tie occasions
taper OF rapidly. Church and
a few weddings are all you
dress for. and you'd be sur
prised how long your old suits

Mr.. H. r. w. dropped a hint
to a daughter that he'd like

Christmas after retirement, and
thereby eliminated the buying

He started buying only stand

insists the car has never known
the difference. He buys oil five
gallons at a time. TV has be-
come his entertainment.
You'd better not go into re-
tirement needing furniture" he
says. "Plan far enough in adj
vance so you retire with chairs
and rugs that will see you
through. And don't retire with
a house that's over about 80
years old. You'll be inclined
to let things go after a while
and it'll come to look like a
spook house"
Mr.. H. r. w. thinks every
man should figure UP what it
costs him to hold a job-before
he retires. It'll be a consola-
ton later on.

for that day. we went on to
other things. We met Max Baer
at the Top of the Mark and
he spent 20 minutes telling Mrs.
Bishop how much he hated a
certain fighter. Elinor. who
knew nothing of fights. said
innocently: But why is this
man SO bad. Mr.. Baer?"

used to bet on himself to lose

Elinor. She never asked them
about their careers. 1t was al

all their savings lin a crazy

the sake Of their two kids. But
now he's up to his old tricks.
He had the nerve to try to

but Ed told me and I feel that
1 should tell my sister. I know
that Harriet would want to be
told what her husband is up
to.
Edward M can't see what
is to be gained by telling Mar

Victor the money. so we have
nothing to worry about. If
anyone else in the family is
foolish enough to give him
money. that's their lookout.
