May 21, 1952 Verhovay Journal PAGE 3 AN ACT OF VERHOVAY BROTHERHOOD Photograph Courtesy The Johnstown Democrat Mrs. Jose Flores, holding photograph of her deceased son, Priv. Andrea, who was killed in action in Korea, receives a check for ¥1,000 in full payment ol a Verhovay life insurance certificate on her son from Elmer Charles, \ erhovay field supervisor. Private Flores, 21, member of Branch 8, Johnstown, Pennsyl­vania, lost his life November 11, 1950, while serving with the 21st Cavalry. Waiver of a war clause by the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association madie possible the payment to Mrs. Flores, who with other members of her family carries Verhovay insurance. Verhovay is one of the first fraternal insurance Societies to waive the World War II born measure for Korean battlefield casualties A Pittsburgh court recently han­ded down a decision regarding the Korean conflict — war or not war. A destitute widow brought suit, against a large insurance company to force them to pay the full bene­fit after her deceased son, a Korean casualty. The widow contended that; she was entitled. to full compensa­tion since the Korean action has not been declared a war; the insurance company maintained that, formal declaration or not, our forces were indeed engaged in war in Korea. The court said it was war, so fthe widow could collect only the dues paid in. To protect our society from ex­treme financial losses Verhovay, al­ways considering the interests of the membership, inserted a war clause into all new certificates dating from April 1, 1942. This rider meant that; war casualty claims were payable in the total monthly clues paid in plus compound interest thereon. Fortunately, our World War II deaths were not nearly so high as expected. (Even the U. S. Govern­ment admitted that the nation’s total military losses were far below ex­pectancy.) Again in the best in- ! terests of its members, the ^Lssocia­ition through its Board of Directors and the National Officers decided that the. beneficiaries of the Associa­tion’s war dead could and should be paid benefits in full. Thus after the war this was done. And just recently a step further was taken when at the March, 1952 Board of Directors meeting all exist­ing war clauses in the Verhovay cer­tificates were CANCELLED. So now the beneficiaries of Verhovay’s Ko­rean dead are given complete pay­ments. To date these members have died in the Korean campaign and their beneficiaries have been paid in full: Andrea Flores, Branch 8, Johns­town, Pa., beneficiary, mother Mrs. Jose Flores: Emery L. Modos, Branch 132, South Bend, Indiana, beneficiary, mother Mrs. John Modos; Martin Chépke, Branch 364, Youngstown, Ohio, beneficiaries, parents Mr. and Mrs. Blasius, Csepke; Anthony Or­­landi, Branch 520, Jerome, Pa., bene­ficiary, mother Mrs. Mary Orlandi. As you can see, our society, the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Asso­ciation, through its leadership, is truly brotherly and does the most possible for the membership. Former Verhovay Supreme Treasurer Elected to Position John G. Bruger, well-known attorney in the Hazleton area of Eastern Pennsylvania, was recently elected to the presi­dency of the board of direc­tors of the Mining & Mecha­nical Institute. In editorially writing about this new honor conferred on Attorney Bruger, who has also served the organization in other capacities, the Standard- Sentinel, Hazleton, says: “Mr. Bruger has served MMI in past offices. He is capable of giving the widely-known preparatory school the type of leadership required, and which has carried it to a pin­nacle in eastern Pennsylvania.” We in Verhovay are glad to [ hear such kind words about Mr. Bruger, We are proud of him because he has for many years labored for the good of our association. In the immediate post-war period of World War I Mr. Bruger held the supreme trea­­surership when the Verhovay home office was still locáted in Hazleton. While in this posi­tion he was admitted to the bar. He was Verhovay counse­lor after the treasurership. For years Attorney Bruger managed the affairs of Branch 1 and held that post until the branch merged with the Parent branch. Good fortune to a good Ver­hovay, John G. Bruger!
