1857, following a heart attack.
Bro. Ferkula was born
March 20, 1892, in Vukova
GOrica, karlOvac, and came
to Canada in 1926.
He first tried farming on
our Canadian prairies, but Ia
ter moved to BIC. where he
took up mining and finally be-
gan working in the smelter at
Trail.
He spent many years in the
smelter and was pensioned
only a few months before his
death.
Bro. Ferkula was prede-
ceased by his wife and is sur
vived by two daughters, Mrs.
Kate Sewers of Rossland, B.
c., and Mrs. Donna Katnic of
Vancouver, and also three
grandchildren.
On behalf of all the mem.

They not only maintain
their production pace but,
in the face of a serious ham

Neither rain, nor snow nor
wintry blasts, nay not even
the adversely of an economic

order to thoroughly under-'
stand what he is going to get
in this package. So, he con-
tinued pouring more ques-
tions.
John: "Will my certifi-
cate carry any cash or loan
value and will the rest of
my family be entitled to
any such features:"
Answer: Eyes, John. Your
certificate will provide liberal
loan and cash value, paid-up
and extended insurance, the
same as if you were insured
only yourself; however, no
cash value is carried on your
wife's and your children's
share, with the exception that
the contract provides extend
ed insurance on the wife and
children for a period of 90
days, or less, commencing at
the end of the second certifi-
cate year."
Monthly Dues Nominal
John: How much more
will this family contract cost
in comparison with a $4,000
individual certificate for N.Y.
self only?"
Answer: If you were to
take out a five thousand dol
lar Endowment at IS Certifi-
cate at your present age of
35, you would pay $10.10
monthly. On the Family Plan
you will be paying $12.33, or
only $2.23 more. For this
small difference you will have
your whole family insured.

Thus in 20 years he would
have paid in $1.O27 20. How
ever, his dividends over 18
years would have run to
S93.60 to lower his net cost
to S933.6O.
SO the saving in this case
is S325.2O, the difference be-
tween the $933.6O cost on the
monthly method and that Of
the $608.40 on the Single Pre-
MUM system.
Meaning of Option l
After the Single Premium
Certificate natures in 20
years, and if the member
chooses Option /, he would
receive a Paid-up Certificate
of 81, 900 plus a cash payment
of $556.10.
If we calculate this fur
ther and deduct the cash
payment of $556.1O under
Option l from the net cost
of $6OS.4O we arrive ut =
figure of $3.50. which is
the actual cost to the men,
ber for S1,OOO.OO of insur-
ance on the Single Premium
method.
And for each additional
100000 of insurance, a fur
ther saving of approximately
$4,000 can be realized under
this modern way of investing
in insurance.

About The Beneficiaries
John: "Supposing husband
and wife are divorced. Can
either of the two apply for a
Family Plan of Insurance.
Answer: Eyes. The appli-
cation would have to be made
by the one who has control of
the children. Naturally in
such cases, the divorced pa
rent, who is not a part Of the
family, would be excluded.
Otherwise the tr e a t m EN- t
would be the same as in the
case of a widow or a widower.
But if the divorce takes place
after the contract is in effect,
the one who Is left in control
of the children must return
the contract to the Home Of
flee for endorsement. If this
is not done the benefits would
continue in force in the same
manner as if the divorce had
not taken place."
John: what about bene-
ficiaries: Are there any set
rules as to whom l must
leave my insurance."
Answer: 'In the selection
of beneficiaries, it is custo-
mary to specify in the con-
tract who they shall be. If the
wife or the husband want to
specify other beneficiaries
they can only do so by en-
dorsement. The normal provi-
sion is that the wife is the
beneficiary of the husband
and the husband of the wife,
providing the beneficiary is
living. If the beneficiary is
not living, then the benefici-
ary's estate will be paid the
death benefit. This is a faci-
lity clause in order to enable
the C.F.U. to discharge it's
obligation speedily and clean
ly, without becoming involved
in family changes or other
unusual circumstances"

Eisenhower Signs
JobIess Pay Bill
BY the Associated press

Emergency legislation maxi
ing nearly $7O0 million availa-
BILE to the States for an extern
sion of unemployment benefits
has been signed by President
Eisenhower.
The States can get the money
in the form Of Federal ad-
vances-by agreeing to extend
by so per cent the number Of
weeks in which their jobless
workers can draw BENEFITS.
1t remains to be seen how
many States can or will take
advantage of the new law.
Many State administrations
have reported they would have
to get the sanction of their leg
islatures or even change their
constitutions to accept Federal
advances of money.
Immediately after signing
the bill yesterday Mr.. Eisen-
hover asked Congress for 1868
million to finance it. OF the
fun appropriation, $640 million
would be used for the extra
benefits and $25 million for ad-
.miniStrative expenses.

Greater NATO Role Seen for Nation
In Uncertainty Over French Outcome

West, despite assurances to
the contrary, must now look
for a new base of operations
in Western Europe.
The logical place for such
a base. indeed the only pos
sible place, is West Germany.
And there, come what may
in France, the actual center
Of the free worlds defense
against communism will be.
Because Of that cold and hard
fact. the talks between For
eign Minister Brentano and
Mr.. Dulles will be of super
lative Importance.
The West German leaders
themselves will be addition
ally concerned with the flu
ture course of a Gaullist
France toward their coun-
try. Gen. de Gaulle is an old
fashioned French militarist,
and, like all his colleagues,
holds Germany in fear and
mistrust. Already the care
full and herculean efforts to
create a basis for a united
Europe are wiped out by the
De Gaulle triumph. Almost
certainly, the Supernation-
alist general who sees him
self as a modern Joan of Arc
and France as the glorious
empire of Napoleon or Louis
XIV will take his nation out
of the march toward inter-
nationalism of Europe.
After World War II. Gen.
de Gaulle, as provisional
President Of France, de-
manded without success that
all of Germany west of the
Rhine be placed under
French political rule. His
furious attempts were check
mated by the British and the
Americans, but he is not a
man to forget. The German

and Mr.. Won Brentano will
have a great deal to talk
about.
The Bonn official also will
have to reckon with the
chance that Gen. de Gaulle
will seek to play of the West
against the East, and to do
so will come to some kind Of
working agreement with the
Soviet Union. If this hap

His pitch to minorities is un-

But in the Republican
Party conservative business
and conservatives from the
small towns and farm areas
are important. To placate
them, the party might well
look toward a Texan who is
not an extremist in any way

seems improbable that the
