Any loss of time which is
sustained as the result of an

shall be payable only after

force at least 30 days after
the date of issue.
To further explain this
provision, a member can
not claim any benefits for
loss of time as the result
of an illness during the
first SO days the certificate

from illness as the result of
childbirth after 28 weeks of
pregnancy, and such child
birth occurs after the certifi

Such payment shall be
made on the basis of $35.00

case of multiple births.
If, following a period of

still with us and come around
often. Others come around
only once in a great while,
but there are also those whom
we have not seen in many,
many years.
Old Timers Welcomed
We think this will be a
wonderful opportunity for
old friends to get together.
Imagine running into peo
ple you have not seen for
perhaps 20 and 25 years. Wc
think this will turn out to be
the reunion you will never
forget.
So think back as far as
25 years ago. Jot down the
names of the girls and boys
you "went to town" with.
Contact them and ask them
to meet you at the Silver
Anniversary Dancc of the
Progress Lodge.
And also ask them to con
tact others, for the more old
timers that show up, the
more enjoyable the evening
will be for all of us on Satur
day evening, November 12th,
