Amer­
& \n\n Among the many sub
jects to be discussed during
the June 7 sessions is the
Croatian Fraternal Union's
ultra-modern "Family
Group Plan of Insurance,"
which should go down in
time as one of the best sell
ers in the long history of
the Society.
Significantly, the Croatian
Fraternal Union is one of the
very first fraternals on the
North American Continent to
adopt this line of business and
definitely the first so-called
"nationality fr a e n a 1" to
make such protection avail
able to its present day mem
bers and prospects for mem
bership in the United States,
Canada, and Alaska.
Five Main Benefits
To describe the CFU Fam
ily Plan briefly, there are ma
ny different types of bene
fits.
The most popular, and the
one whjch we recommend that
all interested consider, is one
which provides five main ben
efits which are all tied up in
one contract. That is the main
feature of the Family Plan.
One contract provides for
Insurance on the entire
family. Only one premium
is to be paid, which is deter
mined from the age of the
husband, or father, so that
it is a very neat, simple
package.
That is what we think is
causing th£ success of the
plan—the demand for simpli
city.
Benefits In Nutshell
The benefits in a unit of
insurance on this CFU Plan
can be summarized as fol
lows:
1. $5,000 of Endowment at
85 (m the husband.
2. There is $1,000 of Term
to Age 65, of the husband, on
the wife. You should observe
that it is not to the wife's
age of 65, but of the hus
band's age.
3. Each child, regardless
of number, and without af
fecting the premium paid
by the husband is entitled
to $1,000 of insurance on
the Term to Age 25 plan.
The significance there is
that the same premium is
charged, regardless of the

During Undertaking of First Magnitude
PITTSBURGH The Croatian Fraternal Union's 2nd
Training School for Lodge and Nest Officials will be held
Saturday, June 7, 1958, at the Croatian Center, located off
Babcock Bvld., in Mill vale, Pa.
Called at the request of the Society's Western Pennsyl
vania United Lodges, the School will be supervised by bros.
Supreme Secretary Joseph Bella and Supreme Treasurer
Martin Krasich, who conduc-f
ted the first such classes number of children.
April 26-27 last in Chicago.
If there are no children,
the rate is the same, as if
there were 10 or more (as
suming, of course, the given
age of the husband).
4. Double Indemnity, which
provides that in event of ac
cidental death of the husband
or wife but not the chil
dren the death benefit is
doubled.
Should Husband Die
We would like to call the
5th benefit a Waiver Benefit
that is comprised of several
parts.
(a) If the husband dies, his
death benefit is paid to the
beneficiary, but the contract
for the remaining benefits is
continued in force without
further payment of premium.
Benefits, of course, run to
the expiration of the regular
benefit period, Term to age 65
of the husband, and to age 25
of the children.
(b) If the husband is dis
abled, the premiums on the
entire contract, including
i s o w n e n e i s a e
waived during the period of
disability.
(c) If the wife dies while
the husband is living, her
death benefit is paid to the
beneficiary and her insurance
is transferred to the husband.
He would then have $6,000 of
insurance, rather than only
$5,000.
That extra thousand dollars
of insurance is Term to Age
65. The reason for that is so
that no adjustment will be
required in the premium for
the death of any family mem
ber.
Fairness To Disabled
The customary disability
clause is a six-month retroac
tive disability benefit.
In other words, there is a 6
months' waiting period dur
ing which the insured must be
totally and permanently dis
abled. If, at the end of that
period, the disability still ex
ists, dues are waived retroac
tively for that six months'
period and for as long hence
forward as that disability ex
ists.
Premiums are payable to
Age 85 of the insured, or his
prior death or disability, as
the case may be. There is no
reduction at age 65. A plan of

to CFU Lodges 832, 961, and

advance plans for 2 picnics
which will be held on July 20

We kindly ask all other
CFU lodges, members, friends
and other clubs and organi
zations of our area, to kindly
refrain from scheduling an
event on either of these two
dates. Instead, keep these
dates in mind and join us for
some fun and entertainment.
The proceeds from these
outings will go into ttie
funds which will back the
building of our new Croa

The Centre will be to the
benefit of all our people in
this area, as we will have a

At a later date we will an

In discussing the Options

said last week "that after

This is incorrect.

We are sorry that we had
to turn 32 people away from
the supper, but we had pre
pared for only 150.
Many thanks to the hard
working committee, as well as
Zajedničar, for these wonder
ful results.
It was very nice having
our Secretary of the CFU
Board of Trustees, sis. Syl
via Niksic, and her hus
band of Gary, Ind., on hand
for our celebration.
Sis. Niksic's address, In be

in attendance.
The highlight of the eve
ning was the crowning of the
winners of the Queen Contest.
Kristine Papa was the vic
tor in the senior group and
little Janice Puskarich reign

group.
Sis. Niksic and Sharon To

crowning the Queens.

We regret to have left any
impression to the contrary
and beg the understanding of
all who may have been kind
enough to read our article of
May 21st.
Look At Other Plans
Under the Society's Ordi
nary Endowment at Age 85
Plan, it is correct that the
insurance is paid to the mem
ber if he so desires.

The same also holds true
in the case of those protected
under the 20-Pay Endowment
at Age 85 Plan.
But under the 20-Year
Endowment Plan, which we
discussed a week ago, af
ter the member selects Op

of the member.
Perhaps this is not of para

a very small percentage of our

years.
But for the sake of accura

is in order.
