WHO OWNS THE LAND? A A A

Planned Protection

A sure sign of the revival of business and the return of employment is seen in the interest shown by the local unions in group life insur- ance protection.

Some locals--"sold" on the idea and covered by a policy for some time-were obliged to drop their policy when times were bad and jobs were scarce, and are now making inquiries as to renewals.

Other locals never enjoyed the protection of a group life insurance policy-perhaps because some one individual blocked the plan--but are now looking into it seriously.

There are many arguments in favor of a co-operative arrangement such as this. It substitutes for the old "pass-the-hat" method of meet- ing the death of a brother, a new up-to-date benefit arranged and paid for by the members while they live. In other words it is "planned protection"-protection for those left behind to mourn the member's death, planned for by the member himself to meet the situation when- ever it should arise.

Co-operation of all the members makes a group life insurance policy possible-something which no member can do for himself alone, but which he and the others can combine to do for all.

The cost is another important feature, because an average premium is charged. Occasionally a very young nmember finds it is not much cheaper for him than individual insurance, and therefore he blocks the plan for all the others. We would like to remind him what the older members have done in days gone by to pave the way for his enjoyment of improved , hours, and working conditions. Surely he should co-operate if at all possible in "planned protection," thus increasing his own estate at comparatively small cost. Many Locals are considering this "Planned Protection" now. Why not put it across in your Local for the benefit of all?

Fred does Lot understand it much other than he may have to join the union and pay dues. Fred has fur- ther cause for worry. There is the "little home" and an increase expected in the family.
