Col. Choynski’s Address The speaker said in part: “The Fraternal Order of Eagles is now in its twenty-fifth vear. As it rounds out its quarter of a century of healthy, helpful existence, it finds it- self stronger in numbers than it has ever been in its history, stronger in NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1923, atriotlsm led the founder of the fraternity to adopt the name ‘Eagles’ after the ‘Proud Bird of Our Couns try," Naturally, the socleties in which the members gathered were named Aeries—that Is, Eagles' nests, Tho complete organization conslsts of subordinate aerfes, or local societies, State Aeries, having certain geogra- phieal jurisidiction, and a grand aerle, which embraces the entire Order, “Now 1if you ask any member why | he has joined the Eagles, ninety-nine times out of a hundred he will tell you with a certain approving emphasis, ‘For the Benefits,' These are the serv- fces of the Aerle physiclan, the slck benefit, and the funeral benefit, all of which are substantial, For the soclal- ly inelined-—and the Eagles are | famous for that inclination-—there is also a year-round program of high | class entertainment and wholesome recreation, Latterly, tens of thousands | have joined the Order, also because of | | its champlonship and active leader- ship of the movement to establish old | age pensions. | | Although membership is confined to men, the benefits and the soclal life of | | the fraternity are extended in many | ways to include the wives, mothers, | and children, and often the friends of members. It is the fathers, mothers, sisters, wives, children, and sweet- | hearts of the members, indeed, who | often set the chief store by the bene- fits and the recreations afforded in| membership in the F, O. E. Among the benefits most appreciated by the families is the Aerie physlician, who | furnishes medical attendance free to | them, and who, after the death of the member, continues this service to the widow and children. The next most important benefit is the sick benefits which keeps the wolf away when the member {s disabled from working through {llness or accident. If the member should dies, there is a sub- stantial funeral benefit. The fund from | which these benefits are paid, by a| law of the order is made absolutely | inallenable for any other purposes, “These services the Eagles render | to the member and his family indi- vidually. They have a further serv-| ice which they render to the com- munity.
