Board administer this problem
In question replied that although
the mortality rate is much lower and death costs are much
reduced the administering costs continuously rising
and your savings being used up by the cost of admin
istration All fraternals are in the same position
In answer to Del Beggs question, Mr. Bruce said that
he has made number of recommendations to the Secre
tary of the Sick Benefit Dept and he believes that he will
bring this before the Convention at later date Some in
in the dues should be required Also limit
should be set for receiving sick benefits from this plan
This plan acts social security annues rather than sick
benefits and therefore, age limit should be set for this
fund
Chairman Rady thanks Mr.. Bruce for his report and
fine comments
Del Baron then asks Mr. Bruce if the whole life cer
ficates could be changed to some other plan.
Mr.. Bruce answered that members insured ordinary
life, to earn profit must die at an early age
He further states that this is difficult to explain to
holder of this type of certificate for they wish to
profit The purpose is to obtain protection and not profit
Del. Vincent Bskupc asks in what condition ad-
minstratve fund and why operating at loss?
Mr. Bruce explains that other societies have always
had poor administrative fund and they have accepted
one-fund accounting system. 1t is amazing that have
been able to continue with present system Our profits
tremendous and operation efficient therefore, this
impoverished organization but live strong
growing
Del Frank Pastorkovich asked Mr. Bruce so 500
dividends could be set aside for the aid of old
bers?
Mr. Bruce answered that dividends be reduced and
savings applied for any other purpose you desire
Officers set any for dividends but profits
class members cannot be applied to benefits of
another class of members and recommend that you
leave this matter up to the Supreme Board
Del Biskupic then asked Mr. Bruce that since the old
plan of sick benefits is not solvent if plan could be
introduced to reduce payments Of members 35 years
of age.
Mr. Bruce replied that illnesses will increase with ad
age and does decrease in payments
