We've heard that our Ali
quippa Alcros L. 72O took the
same step and the entire
membership promised it's long
time secretary, bro. Bill Iii
vitz, full cooperation in the
attainment of his trip to
Europe goal.
This wide interest on the
whole lodge level is nothing
new but it definitely has as
sumed firmer and more wide
spread proportions this year.
We salute this development
and promise it our every as
sistance.
Lure Of The Caribbean
The membership has been
appraised of the fact that
your campaign leadership has
other irons in the fire be-
sides the very attractive Eu-
ropean trip.
Specifically, q Caribbean
cruise is in the preparatory
stage. AS soon as facts and
figures, the most reasonable
for you the campaigners, are
available they shall be publ
cized.
We are pleased to hear
that this closer-to-home
trek is also very popular
and = sizeable number of
campaigners has already
indicated their intention of
- going Caribbean.
Nothing succeeds like Sue
cess! Your Croatian Frater-
nal Union has built it's history
on ventures that terminated
in victory because you the
members had the constancy to
turn faith into fact.

this year too.
OF course we are the first
to admit that this fidelity to
organization has to be nur-
tured and for that reason
there is a constant attempt
to provide the field workers
with strong inducements.
Happily, we've been able
to strike that responsive
chord year after year. The
current drive, which is
unique in that it will be .
two year effort, ''is a ma
turaP'.
The trip to Europe at the
Society's expense has alreday
elected many declarations Of
intentions to campaign. We've
received dozens of requests
for membership application
blanks and for pertinent lit
erature, rates, etc.
Where There's A Will
A week ago we received a
letter from brother Frank Ru-
dar of Lodge 80, Chicago, in
which he states that he too
wants the needed supplies to
begin campaigning and earn
ing his trip to the land Of his
birth.
The most significant part
of his letter however is the
news that his lodge gave
great prominence to the men,
bership campaign at the first
meeting of the year.
A special campaign COM
mittee, with bro. Rudar
designated as chairman,
was selected at the time.
Others on the committee
are Luka Blonde (wh0 dou-

If he remarries at some
subsequent date, the $1,000
Term coverage will continue
on his life, unless he sends his
contract in for endorsement
or for a new contract. in that
case, the insurance on the
wife would be whatever her
age differential from his
would provide.
The $1,000 Term on his
life would, of course, dis
continue. He would be en-
titled to the term coverage
one way or another, but he
must do something in order
to change it from the auto

from the death of the first
wife.

the husband. Regardless of
the age differential between
the husband and the wife, the
premium is still the same.
How Plan Is Written
The minimum age Of the
husband is customarily 20, al
though it is usual to provide
that if the husband is young
er than age 20, the age 20
rate will apply.
The maximum age for the
husband is so. The reason is
that above age so the family
benefits are SO great that the
rates are prohihitivc. The wife
can be not more that Z years
older, nor more than II years
Younger, which should take
in most marriages.
The customary way to
write this insurance is On
a non-medical family appli-
cation. Under such applica-
tion, il the member were
less than 40 the husband
would sign the application
for the entire family and
the other family members
would not be required to fill
out, or even sign, an appli-
cation.
In that application, the hus-
band answers the usual non
medical questions concerning
his own health and also makes
certain statements concern
ing the status of the health Of
other family members.
The pattern for such appll-
cation is we'll established by
the family application for hos
pital benefits. 1t is the same
type application and the same
principles are employed.
When a medical eXamlna-
ton is required, it is custo-
mary to require the medical
only on the husband. That
would apply when he is over
age 40, or if the non-medical
brought out information to
indicate a medical eXamina-
ton should be given.
A m e d ca | examination
would be required for the hus-
band if he applied for two
units, but not by the wife, un-
less she were over 40 years
of age or in such condition
that the Home Office would
want a medical examination.
Newborn Youngsters
Newborn children after the
issue date Of the contract, are
added to the coverage without
any change in the premium,
and this is the usual clause
that goes in:
Amy child born to the hus-
band and wife after the issue
date will become insured for
one-fifth of the husbands in
surance, if he gives notice to
the Union of the name and
birth date of the child, and
gives evidence that it has at
tanned age one month, which
is the effective date of the in
surance. If such notice is not
given due to unintentional
oversight, the insurance, ne
vertheless, will take effect as
Of such age

fects arc covered automati-
cally after age one month.

lity cost to pay the death

contract as welcome where
there are no children just as
much as were there are many.
Family Relationship
There will be a lot of cir
cumstances and situations
where the normal family re-
lationship of husband-and-
wife does not exist, as, for ex-
ample, the case of a widow.
In that case, if the widow is
insurablc she can become COW
cred for the entire amount of
insurance that would normal
ly go to the husband and the
wife, and she pays the same
premium as if it were issued
to a husband at that age.
That means, her insurance
is $4,000 Endowment at IS,
and $1,000 Term to her age
65.
A second type of circum-
stance requiring special con-
sideration is where one of the
family members is not insur-
able, either the husband or
the wife. If the husband is not
insurable, the contract can be
issued to the wife in the same
manner as to a widow. If the
wife is uninsurable, the hus-
band would receive the nor
NAL insurance to which he
would be entitled otherwise,
plus the $1,000 Term insur-
ance which would normally 60
to the wife.
In the case of a divorce,
that has taken place prior
to the issue date, the con-
tract would be issued to
whichever member applied
and had control over the
children. The divorced par
ent, not a part of the FAM
lily, would be excluded.
In case of divorce after the
CF'U Family Plan has been
issued the circumstances will
vary widely. Unless the con-
tract is returned to the Home
Office for endorsement and
special consideration, the ben
efits would continue in force
in the same manner as if the
divorce had not taken place,
subject to payment of the re-
quired premium.
Other Circumstances
There are a large number
Of circumstances that can
arise concerning a family.
Regardless of those chan
ges, the contract says, in ef-
feet, that benefits specified
herein will be paid to the
persons named herein, unless
the contract is endorsed or re-
written
All of the unusual family
changes require the contract
to come in to the CF'U Home
Office and that the changes
be made.
In the selection of bene-
ficiarics, it is customary to
specify in the contract who
the beneficiaries will be. If
the husband or wife want
! to specify other benefici-
! aries they have to do SO by
endorsement.
The normal provision is
that the wife is the benefici-
ary of the husband, and the
husband will be the benefi-
ciary of the wife, providing
the beneficiary is living.
If the beneficiary is not liv-
ing, then the beneficiary's es-
tate will be. paid the death
| benefit.
This is really a facility pay
ment clause to enable the
Croatian Fraternal Union to
discharge it's obligation clean
ly without becoming involved
in family changes and un-
usual circumstances.

SCHOOL OF THE-WEEK
Mount Vernon High Marks Growth
Bv KAREN KLEMP
Mount Vernon Reporter
Mount

This Is the week that We
take you on Q tour Of Mount
Vernon High School on Rich
mond highway south Of Alex
andria.
The green lawns and Colonial
architecture Of the school show
the influence Of its namesake,
and the cupola atop the main
building has become a trade
mark as well as a landmark
for many.
In 1910 Mount Vernon first
opened its doors to a small
group of students who had
come from the. overcrowded
Lee jackson High School and
who were eager to see their
new school and to use it. These
40 students were greeted by
IL sparkling classrooms. ID
teachers and by @. o. Cox, the
principal.
When Melvin B. LandeS be-
came acting principal in 1945,
the school was considerably
larger, having. new students as
well as new teachers and new
classrooms. During Mr.. Landes'
stay, there have been seven adj
ditions to the original building
along with q great increase in
student enrolment.
From the few students that
were here that first year, the
school has jumped to about
1,70O and Is the fourth largest
high school in Fairfax County.
The school year Of 1878 sees
Mount Vernon as q school with
more than half the students
(exactly LAD in the eighth
and ninth grades. while the
senior class faces the world
with only 139 members. and is
