Hoo Hoo Announces New Plan of Membership

A new plan of membership, involving an increase of from 1@ to 500 per cent insurance benefit, and a new program of edu,cational and wood promotional activities, was put into effect by Hoo-Hoo International, Mar'ch 9. Dues also are increased.

The new plan, on which the Supreme Nine has worked five months, is announced by Snark of the lJniverse Franklin A. Hofheins, in a letter to the membership. Some of the high-lights of the program are:

The $100.00 Death Benefit will be replaced by group insurance paying benefits from $500.00 to $200.00, the amount depending on age at death.

The Order will furnish two salaried field men to assist in organizing and carrying out local programs beneficial to the Lumber Industry.

Edu,cational and wood promotional programs of a specific nature will be offered Hoo-Hoo clubs and local groups, and the International Order will assist in carrying them out.

"It is by far the greatest forward step in the history of Hoo-Ifoo," Snark Hofheins said in his letter to the members. "The new plan keeps faith with members who have paid for the $100.00 benefit for years; it expresses the fraternal spirit in a more substantial way; it gives something tangible to the member in ,communities where activities are infrequent; and it relieves the Order of responsibilities and handi,caps that have limited its work in the past."

'Whereas the Order itself carried the $100.00 death benefit, the group protection will be carried by the All-American Insurance Company, a legal-reserve company. The contract insuring the members of the .Order, according to Snark Hofheins, is the first of its kind ever written. Present paid-up active members will be eligible to the increas,ed prote,ction regardless of age or condition of health. There will be no medical examination. New members and lapsed members under age 6O will likewise be eligible to the insurance, while new and lapsed members over 6O will be admitted to membership at a lower dues rate and with all other benefits excepting insurance. The amount of the policy depends on a member's age at death. Beginning with $500.00 at age 21, it drops $7.50 a year until age 61, when the amount remains constant at $200.00 regardless of age at death. There also is a total and permanent disability provision covering members up to age 60. Dues under the new plan are $9.99 instead of $5.00 in the case of active members qualifying for the insurance. In the case of new or lapsed members over 60, dues are $5.00. The initiation fee remains at $9.99.

Members who have paid $5.00 for 1931 dues are called on to pay $2.50 addition for the remainder of the Hoo-Hoo. year, ending September 9. This includes the insurance protection for the last six months. Delinquent members pay $7.50.

"IJnquestionably the dues of Hoo-Hoo have been too low for years, and the activities of the Order therefore seriously limited," the announcement said. "Ilowever, the officers hesitated to add anything to the amount until the happy solution was found in thJ new plan of greater benefitsi'-

"'We do not feel that this insurance is the most important thing Hoo-Hoo has to offer its members-in fact, we regard it as purely an incidental feature," the Snark continued. "But we 'think that it carries out the fraternal spirit in a mu,ch more substantial fashion, and,we know that it relieves the Order of a burden and opens the way for more extensive and more constructive educational and promotional work."
