Sick Benefit Department Claim Forms
Should Be Accurate In Every Respect
Lodge Officers Can Help A Great Deal
In Matter Of Expediting Claim Payments

In the election of lodge Of
ficers at recent annual lodge
meetings, a considerable num-
Der of new officers were elec-
ted. Among them are new Sec
retaries and presidents of
sick committees.
Is is natural that their be-
ginning will be somewhat diff
ficult, but with the help Of
their predecessors, and the
various departments in the
Supreme Office, every effort
will be exerted to be Of assis-
tance to them with good ad-
vice, to enable them to carry
out their duties and business
Of the lodge in accordance
with the requirements of the
existing bylaws, and to the
satisfaction of the member
ship and the Home Office.
Dept Recommendation
Since the lodge roster is
forwarded only to our lodge
secretaries, the presidents of
sick committees have no in
formation concerning any
member.
We would recommend that
the lodge secretaries give the
president of the lodge sick
committee the lodge member
ship roster at least twice an
nually, so that they may con-
veniently ascertain whether
or not a member is insured in
the sick and disability funds.
We do this for the rea-
son that it frequently hap
pens that a member will re-
port sick when he Is not
insured on the sick benefit
fund and is not entitled to
receive sick benefits.
I believe these instructions
are in good order and that
they will be Of great benefit
to all.
In case something Is not
clear, do not get excited, but
simply write to the Supreme
Office for any information
that may be needed, and it
will be given gladly.

managed to squeeze their way into the Gro
attain Home, 4O33 Main, that evening to
show their great respect for bro. Brozovic
and join in wishing him we'll in office.
An amazing manifestation of esteem
fora man when one bears in mind that the
Croatian Home was never erected to ac-
commodate more than 500 banqueters in
comfort and that the asking price" was
$500 per plate up and down the line
Born July 21, 1905, in Duga Resa, Kar-
lovac, Croatia bro Brozovic is a member of
"Matija Gubec" Lodge 288 and represented
his Lodge as one of it's three Delegates to
the Society's 9th Natl Quadrennial Con-
vention of 1855.
He stopped off, in the Calumet Region
of Indiana en- route west after the 1929
stock market crash took his savings and in
1881 married the former Jean Dominic
They have one son, Richard, 20, who is
studying journalism at the City College of
Los Angeles, California.
Having decided to settle in the Calumet
Region, bro. Brozovic began selling insur-
ance and in 1881 led his companys sales
men in sales throughout the area.
He followed that up with highly sue
cessful milk sales career by purchasing
half interest in the Tx Cafe on Main Street,
Indiana Harbor, and later held half interest
in a furniture company with one of his
closest friends, Joseph Taub.
Mayor Walter M. Jeorse called on him
seven years ago to take over the manage
ment of the Public Works Department of
East Chicago and bro. Brozovic went on
from there to become one of the most as
tute politicians in local history
. There is "anOther side" to bro. Bro
zovic which may amaze those who believe
the art of politics to be full-time occupa-
tion devoted to self perpetuation.
He is the Founder and Honorary Pres
ident of the Croatian Singing Society "Slo-
ga" = something he takes great pride in -
and is member Of the Croatian Holy Tri-
nifty Church, the Croatian Fraternal Union
the Croatian Catholic Union, the Knights
of Columbus, the Moose and Elks Lodges,
and the Twin City Democratic Club.
From the Pastor of Holy Trinity down
to the President of the Twin City Demo-
cratic Club, everyone in the Calumet Re-
gion is Gin love" with John Brozovic.
He is truly man among men, a man we
admire more than words can tell.
Carry on, bro. Brozovic

zone of Germany to the East German re-

Western powers with the possibility that, at
best, they might have to deal with the East

open conflict with the East Germans in or

We must have these elec-

Sick Benefit Department
PITTSBURGH - Recently,
we have been receiving, di-
rectly from physicians and
hospitals, various prin t e d
forms with reference to sick
and operation benefits of our
members.
Very frequently neither the
members name, lodge num-
Der nor certificate number
are shown.
These omissions cause
much unnecessary work to
the office personnel in the
Sick Benefit Department
before the name of the
member seeking sick or
operation benefits can be
ascertained.
Therefore, brothers an d
sisters, lodge secretaries and
presidents Of lodge sick COM
mittees, this Department ur-
ges and appeals that care be
exercised in the completion of
sick benefit claim forms, to
make certain that it shows
the name and surname of the
member, the number of his
lodge and membership certi-
ficate.
With this understanding, if
the hospital again sends in
some form we will be in a po-
sition to Immediately send it
to the lodge for completion
and return to the Home Of
flee for processing.
Concerning Payments
Seven years have gone by
since my election as Secretary
of this Department, whose
work and operations I super
wise.
Since I have been in this
position, sick benefits and all
other claims are paid every
week.
Claims which reach the
Home Office by Wednes-
day afternoon are pro-
cessed by the end of the
same week.
However, claims w h i c h
reach the Home Office after
Wednesday are paid at the
end of the following week.
Many of our lodge secreta-
ries and presidents of sick
committees are Of the opin-
ion that sick benefits are paid
to the date when recommen.
dation for payment is made
This is not correct.
Cooperation Needed
All sick benefit claims are
considered as of the date
when the medical certificate
was completed by the physi'
clan treating the member.
Only in case of the death o1
the member can a sick ben
eft claim be paid without
recommendation by the lodge
and then only after the deatf
certificate reaches the Home
Office.

resigned as the upshot of a dis
pute with his vestrymen involv-

the vestry had voted to in
struct Trinity's lay delegate to

lock Haven in any way and at
any time"
Mr.. Teeter commended that
the vetry. in instructing the lay
delegate to vote In a certain
way, was saying that when
Gods holy spirit is asked for
guidance at Lynchburg. the
holy spirit can do nothing to
change mems minds"
The minister said the ques-
ton of indignation at Hemlock
Haven, near Marion and the
principal summer conference
center for the Episcopal do
ceSe of Southwestern Virginia,
was mot involved" in his res
ignation.
He said the principle in
volved was christian doctrine
in the operation of Hemlock
Haven"
He told his congregation yes
terday morning that he had
been hurt that the vestry re-
fused to pray at his request fol
one minute before voting last
Thursday night to instruct the
lay delegate.
when Christian men refuse
to pray before making a mo-
mentous decision, their priest
is not longer any use to them,
