"Fairless" is a new lodge,
small in membership, but
our members believe in
Fraternalism. We will grow
because We want a bigger
and better lodge and be-
cause we want the chance
to prove that fraternal or
CARNATIONS are not a thing
of the past.
We believe in giving moral
and, if possible, financial help
to those in need.
Our pioneer lodges, such as
Etna's Lodge 4, are setting a
good example for new lodges
like ours. We certainly hope
that. we grow with the same
Spirit of Brotherhood.

siderably expanded during
these last few years.
Hardly anyone can now say
that he can't get the kind Of
insurance he wants from us,
unless it's Annuity Payments
and that, too, may come at
some future date.
In order to grow, we
must be able to meet all
competition. While it WAS
sufficient years ago to sell
Ordinary Whole Life Certi-
ficates to adults and Term
Insurance to Juniors, such
is not the case today.
We must have the same
diversified plans that any 9TH
ers have, which we can, and
do, sell at much lower rates
than insurance companies, be-
cause we are a non-profit or
ganization while they must
make profit for their stock

Ont, Canada. { ssst II

dica is the first Canadian to
file a Declaration of 1nten.

to Yugoslavia.
A similar announcement
was made a few days later
by Toronto, Ont, Can
ucks" Lodge 975 Secretary
Michael Mijatovich, who
would also visit Yugoslavia
in 1860.
From experience we know
that many more of our Can
adian brethren will shortly
enter the Campaign fold and
strive afield to lay claim two
short years hence to a trip
across the Atlantic and a
pleasant sojourn in the land
of their forefathers.
Why Points Silence:
A word or two now about
the Points which Field Work
ers will naturally have to
amass in order to qualify for
the Campaign Grand Prize
Award of their choice.
The Campaign Committee
is now weighing a variety of
transatlantic and Caribbean
cost statistics in order to ar
rive at the most attractive
trips and set the Points for
same.
Since the actual dates of
the two trips are still
many moons away" there
is no rush to settle the
Points issue at this early
stage of the Campaign
game.
1t will, however, be recalled
that 600 Points governed the
Campaign of 1856 which saw
13O American and Canadian
members visit Yugoslavia on
a rather elaborate basis, one
which may or may not be re-
peated in conjunction with
the present Campaign.
That particular trip called
for either a luxury liner or
plane crossing of the Atlantic,
a set number of touring days
in Yugoslavia (hotel rooms
and meals paid, and so many
days of "being on your own
in that country before return
ing stateside.
Whether this will again be
the order of business in 1860
remains to be seen.

Happily, most Of our nests
were able to do just that as
attested by a gratifying 1900
member increase in the de-
partment.
The Per Capita Angle
And now, for the second
year, we have the Per Capita
Award which guarantees the
manager at least a token Of
appreciation for his efforts
throughout the year. Under
it he gets 10 cents for every
Term and Is cents for every
permanent type member on
his books at the end of the
year.
Let us assume then that
the manager who had 300
members at the beginning of
the year and finished with
80 has $50 Term and so per-
manents. For the membership
conservation and bonus he is
entitled to $65. In addition he
gets, now, a per capita prize
of $25 for his Term members
(1O cents for each of 250)
and $15 for permanents (25
cents for each of go endow-
ments). Thus his total award
amounts to $1o5.oo.

ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-02-05

This new Campaign Is
unique to the extent that it
will continue without a
break for two years. At no
time previously have we
instituted a Membership
Campaign of such a long
duration, which offers such
tempting prizes as the one
we have Just entered into.
Because of this it will be
necessary more than ever be-
fore to advertise and pound
on it continually, without
rest, for the next "a months
in order to forestall any lag
that may occur during this
long period.
Long, Long Campaign
There is a tendency among
the campaigners to slack
down now and then when they
have a long period ahead of
them and this is something we
must prevent.
So it will be essential to
keep the Campaign at top
pitch all the time.
The Executive Board has
chosen brother Michael Gra-
sha, Director Of our Junior
Order, to act as Chairman of
the Campaign, and brother
Joseph Bella, the Supreme
Secretary, as the Campaigns S
Secretary.
These two popular officers,
together with the old stand
bys Croatian and English
Editors Philip Vukelich and
Stephen F. Brkich, acting as
Vice -Chairmen, constitute a
committee Of go-getters hard
to beat.
We can be assured in ad-
vance that they will leave
nothing undone in order to a.
chieve success.
Portfolio Up To Date
As progressive business
men, in order to expand and
increase their business, must
add new lines to their stock,
so has the Croatian Fraternal
Union adopted new forms of
insurance, the better to serve
it's present and prospective
members.
Last wear we nut into ef-
feet the Single Premium in
surance rates, while this
year We added the Family
Insurance plan, a unique
and 4 much different form
from the standard individ-
ual plans we regularly Of
fer.
Besides these two innova-
tions, the Supreme Board has
also approved a system by
which those prospectives who
did not heretofore qualify
physically for admittance, will
be able to become members
by paying somewhat higher
rates.
|! Such members will be rein
sured with another company,
which specializes in such
classes of insurance, and the
rink will thus be shifted away
from us.
This will open the door to
many who were previously re-
jected for some minor disqual-
ification, as we'll as to others
who will be able now to apply
for insurance.
The C.F.U. cannot lose by
accepting this type of men,
bers, since all claims for
death benefits will be paid by
1.-The re-insuring company.

Gross sales for the four day

The initial week last year the
Corporation got only 4.8 per-

Gains in average prices rang

The greater increases were
chiefly for low and fair prim-
