N THEIR 1858 analysis Of the Society,
the Croatian Fraternal Unions actuarial
firm Of Harley N. Bruce and Associates,
Chicago, had this to say about Dividend
payments to members
dividends were paid during 1858 at
the so-called 1000 level. Total payments of
$311 ,280.33 (ncluding Junior Order Dept
payments) represent the greatest return to
policy-holders of any organization with
which this office is affiliated. In making
that observation we include some CONNER
cial legal reserve mutual companies which
are to times the size of the Union The
dividends returned to the Unions members
are nothing short of phenomenal"
Repeat: - PHENOMENAL!
.
. A recapitulation of the SOciety's 1859
Dividend payments, checks for which are
now in the hands of all American and Ca
madam Lodge Secretaries, appears on page
of todays zajednicar.
The Jackpot" for this year - not in
Guiding Junior Order payments - amounts
to $253, $3.50 and represents the third
largest such Adult Dept outlay of money in
the history of the Society.
1t was topped in 1857 by the record high
of $257 ,056.55 and again year later by
the payment of $25468294
Those eligible for Dividend payment
which will be made during the regular
monthly meetings in June, can celebrate
their good fortune by donating any part
of it to the funds of the Croatian Fraternal
Union Scholarship Foundation, Inc, and
put it to work educating deserving young
American and Canadian members of the
Society.
AS we pointed out editorially one week
ago, no one is obligated to turn over any
portion of his or her Dividend payment to
the funds of the Foundation.
BY the same token, under no existing
law is the Croatian Fraternal Union obliga-
ted in any way to make annual Dividend
payments to it's members in the United
States and Canada.
1t does so voluntarily, just as it hopes it's
members will do in June when they are
asked - not forced - to augment the
funds of it's Scholarship Foundation, Inc.

BEETLE LIFE RECORDED

CORVALLIS, Ore. up = Scien-
Research Center eavesdrOpped on
the Douglas fir bark beetle with
microphones and discovered story
of beetle family life.
At $40 p. m. the first day, papa
arrived home and a rhythmic crick-
et-like chirping began, mixed with
irregular, sharp, staccato noises.
The scientists could not deter
mine if it was a family fight be-
cause Mr.. Beetle got home late or
if it was the usual beetle welcome.
At 9:3S all sound stopped.
At 9:55 there was some occasion
al scratching, which researchers
said could have been the female ex-
cavating or preparing dinner.
At 1919 vigorous chewing be-
gan, indicating the family had sat
down to dinner.
Next day sounds like lusty sing
ing as the beetles cleaned house
were heard by the. scientists. The
mike picked up the noise of sweep
ing and every now and then bark
dust was pitched out of hole in
the log.
The scientists said they knew the
difference between male and female
bark beetles because the one doing
all the housework was always the
female. AS might be expected. the
one making all the grumbling
noises was invariably the male.
