4 FRATERNITY Umes dire consequences of sudden illness and death in our families, and in order to avoid hardship, it is essential that a father provide security for his dear ones now, not only through ample Life Insurance, but through the best Hospitalization and Sick Benefit protections as well. The details of the above plans will appear in one of the next issues of our Fraternity, and those who wish to avail themselves of these plans may contact our Field Workers throughout the country or any of our District Offices where they will be given all the necessary information with the utmost courtesy and understanding. Families must have security, therefore parents and children must he insured! Where there is a feeling of security, there is contentment; where there is contentment, there is happiness; where there is happiness, there is peace and love; where love prevails, there God dwells! With the welfare and security of all families in mind, we offer membership in our Federation’s large family to everyone through our old and new plans of insurance. And in this “YEAR OF FAMILY SECURITY” we wish all our present and future members a happy and prosperous New Year, blessed with physical and spiritual security. WHAT IS A WIDOW? Recent statistics on remarriages will disprove the well used objection, “If anything happens to me my widow will remarry.” The survey points out that three out of every 10 widows between 21 and 25 remarry. Two out of 10 between 26 and 30 remarry. Two out of 15 remarry in the 31-35 age group — and the ratio drops to one out of 15 in the 36-40 group. Which brings us to the question, “What is a widow?” We especially like the way one man of our acquaintance has answered this question. He defines a widow as “the same old darlin’ who once was a wife.” She used to be a mother, now she’s both a dad and a mother. She used to be a homemaker, now she’s that — and a handyman, too. She just managed on her former income, with frequent little treats and an occasional luxury. Now she must get along with about one-third enough to manage on. What has she done to deserve such an unjust reward? Not a thing . . . and it all could have been avoided simply by giving a little thought to the life insurance philosophy of a small sacrifice today to avoid a big sacrifice tomorrow.
