LETTER FROM WASHING!ON. D.C. WB Miguel I Aguinaldo, P.M., Vigan Lodge No. 63, reports enthu siastically on his visits to Masonic Lodges in Washington, D.C. In a letter to WB Dan Kolipano of T. M. Kalaw Memorial Lodge No. 136, he relates how well he was received in the seven Lodges he visited. He is very much elated by the warmth of the friendship of American breth ren he met. He visited the Washing ton Masonic Memorial in Alexandria and also the House of the Temple, home of the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite (Southern Jurisdiction) in the U.S.A. These two arc “musts” to Masonic visitors in Washington, D.C., especially Scottish Rite Masons. It was Bro. Aguinaklo's privilege to 21 have met all the officers of the Grand l.odge of the District of Col umbia and the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Coun cil, A. & A. S. R. PGM MIKE GOLDENBERG Anxious brethren will be relieved to know that PGM Michael Golden berg who had to undergo a major operation several weeks ago and sub sequently suffered a paralytic stroke, has returned home well on the way io complete recovery. A A A New Benefits . . . bership, P500.00 will be payable to the beneficiary; if in the second year, the amount will be P750.00; and af ter the second year the full face va lue of Pl,000.00 will be payable to the beneficiary. This is the cheapest protection any brother can obtain. So cheap that even if a brother lives a long time and continues to pay for 50 years, the payments of the member will not aggregate what the Acacia Mutual will actually pay to the be neficiary. With this plan the Lodge will not be embarrassed for its inability to raise the amount needed for the burial of a deceased member and at the same time their widows and or phans will not undergo the very hu miliating experience of being com pelled to make an approach to the Lodges by reason of the unexpected demise of the head of their family. Every Master is, therefore, urged io meet the challenge to have the 90% of their l.odge members join this Group Death Benefit Plan. If and when this is accomplished every body — the member, their families and the brethren — can have peace of mind. In computing the 90%, those brethren who are residing out side of our jurisdiction will not be counted. However, Worshipful Mas ters arc urged to get all their mem bers to join by writing them a let ter. Attention is invited to the Grand L.odge circtdar on this sub ject. The other great concern of the Grand Master is the protection of the health of the brethren. For this project die Acacia Mutual has created a Health Committee, the chairman of which is Brother Damaceno J. Ago. This committee has been meeting almost every week to finalize the plans. It is the intention of the Health Committee to make available to the brethren for a small monthly contri bution hospitalization benefits which will include surgery, the hospitaliza tion and other special services that a sick brother may require. This plan will start on November 1, 1962. A medical clinic is now available on the ground floor of the Plaridel Masonic Temple. A list of partici pating physicians will be posted at the Clinic. A physician or two will be detailed for consultation at the clinic daily. For every consultation a brother will be requested to do nate a peso so that the participating doctors may receive an honorarium for their transportation. Details of the medical health plan will be announced in the immediate future. 22 THE CABLE TOW July, 1962
