Early yu|e Mail
Strongly Advised

Washington, d. c. - The
Post Office Department win
rely primarily on overtime
work by regular postal en-
ployees to move an unprece-
dented volume of Christmas
mail this year, Postmaster
General Arthur E. Summer
field said on December 1.
Last year, in the 100 larg-
est post offices of the coun-
try whose income accounts
for about 6Oes of the total
U. S. mail receipts, we used
about one and one-half mill
lion more hours of overtime
work by regular employees
and about 10000 less tenn
porary employees than the
previous year." Mr.. Summer
1lClQ SCdIeQ.
Our experience in doing so
was highly gratifying, with
resultant savings of nearly
S. million dollars in operat-
ing costs over the same per-
iod the previous year.
"A total of more than 9
billion pieces of mail was
handled between October 1,
1858, and December u, 1858,
an increase in mail volume of
4fo over the previous year"

Directing these dancers will

only his contempt of the Senate but his
contempt for those bonds of affection, for
those mystic chords of memory which
make it possible for men to be free and
differ and yet to be one people He has
come into our midst not in order to unite us
against our enemies. but in order to divide
us among ourselves. He claims for himself
the right to treat all who oppose Mccarthy
with the approval of his own infatuated
supporters, that to keep Mccarthy within
bounds of law and order is to betray the
country. - Walter Lippman

also singled out the Pioneer
and Fifty-Year CFU Members
still in our midst for special
praise and took part in the
honors paid them during their
appearance on the stage.
Bro. Brkich likewise eulo-

Also with us on this still

Bro. Ovcarich greeted his

afternoon of November % re-

He urged a number of non
members to affiliate with the
Croatian Fraternal Union and
succeeded in signing several
prospects before returning to
his desk in Pittsburgh.
We admire bro. Ovcarich's
fraternal spirit and urge 9TH

r The program staged that
day in the Slovenian National
Home on st. Clair Avenue was
well planned and executed
and found considerable favor
with the huge audience.
The address by Governor
Frank j. Lausche of Ohio
turned out to be the high
light of the afternoon pro-
gram. He paid lavish tribute
to the goodness of our people
as a whole and the greatnes:
of their organization, the Gro
atian Fraternal Union. Gov
crnor Lausche urged his lis
teners to throw "old country"
politics to one side and to
work in Americas and their
own interests in t is Nation.
The Governor found his
audience to be a most at
tcntivc one and a very gener-
Gus one with its applause. Of
Slovene descent, he is cer-
tainly credit to his people.

emphasized. He pointed out
that it is far better to get
gifts there ahea'- of time

Stating that no Christmas

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1854
This Is Fraternalism!

A S we sec it, Fraternalism, like .Amerl-
canism, continues to represent some
thing nebulous in the minds Of entirely too
many citizens of the United States.
At least, people arc forever asking
What is Fraternalism?' and going away
either dissatisfied with the answer they get
or back to where they started from in the
first place - in the dark.
Perhaps, in our own way, we can throw
some light on this great subject.
X
First of ALL let the record show that
Fraternalism in America was established IN
the beginning upon the teachings of Jesus
Christ. the Man of Galilee, who fed the
hungry, healed the SICK forgave the sinner.
He was the first Fraternalist.
And as Christ lavished his love and for
giveness on mankind. so the Fraternalists
of today maintain institutions for the aged
and for orphaned and dependent children;
sanatariums for those afflicted with
dread disease; hospitals equipped with the
most modern appliances for the diagnosis
and cure of mans physical ailments
Fraternalists do these things not for
publicitys sake, but because they believe in
Him and what He taught in the Sermon on
The Mount No true Fraternalist can ever
be needless or Indifferent to Christs call
for spiritual sanity on earth.
X X
Let the record also show that Fratcrna-
lists have always been among the first to
stress and carry out the material side of life
in accordance with the highest precepts of
humanitarianism.
In their relatively short history in this
Nation, the Fraternals have paid out untold
billions in benefits to millions caught sud-
denly in the maelstrom of life. God only
knows how many homes the Fratcrnals
have kept together long after the passing
of the family breadwinner.
And God only knows how many other
millions the Fraternals spent for worthy.
charitable causes outside the four walls Of
their membership at large - money poured
into all that is America without the slight
est desire for widespread fanfare.
X
Finally, let the record show that the
Fraternal Societies hold within themselves
the future of Americas economic welfare
and are we'll aware of the fact.
Ask any national leader and he will tell
YOU as much ;. money invested in frater-
nal life insurance is the safest investment
on Garth. for the fraternal dollar has al
ways been. and always will be- worth 100
cents in the hands of those designated to be
the beneficiaries thereof Again. the Fra
ternals prefer not to over-publicize the fact
X
Spiritually and materially Fraternaism
is the very essence of Americanlsm itself
Both are based on the principles of brother
hood and neither could exist without it.
That, in itself, is the very best advertise
ment for Fraternalism's virtues.

It's High Time!

It's high time that men
in Congress stopped trying to
make Americans afraid of their
own institutions and suspicious
of each other. Let's fight Rus
sia with affirmative measures,
not with panic. Let's show the
Russians that freedom Of
speech is a source of strength,
not of weakness. -

and wherever possible by urg-
ing those eligible to join our
wonderful Society for their
own good.
Proud Of Old Timers
In conclusion, VIC want to
add our own praise to that
given November % to our
local Pioneer and Fifty-Year
CFU Members.
We do so in all sincerity for
their many, many contribu-
tions to the national great
ness Of the Croatian Fraternal
Union. We are proud to be
one of them, for we, too, have
been a member of the Society
for many years and have
never been ashamed Of it.
We "old timers" have done
our share for the Society.
Now we ask our younger men
and women to take over for
us and continue to keep the
Croatian Fraternal Union a
great American institution.
But they can qualify for so
high an honor only by taking
and showing a deep interest
in the workings of the Society.
And with that we again
thank all who attended our
November % celebration. May
God bless you, one and all.

SoIon's S Remarks
Ire Union Paper
Average People
Anti-HandOuters

Aliquippa, Pa. = If our lame
duck Congressman, Rep. Louis
E. Graham (noW a dead politi-
cal pigeon), is right about the
people Of foreign extraction"
being responsible for his defeat
at the polls on November 2,
then we native born citizens
should be both ashamed and
grateful for their delivering us
from the tyranny of mis-repre-
scntation.
Our early American, colonial
forefathers, all people of $50
reign extraction" fought a
bloody war over the tyranny of
taxation without representa-
ton" Our modern colonist
(who Louis agin') of foreign
extraction" put an end to the
tyranny of taxation with mis-
representation in one day, and
without shedding a drop of
blood.
Business Gets Plenty
Now, let's analyze Mr..
Graham's tale of woe" as re-
ported by the press, and see
who is guilty of ignorance and
misconduct.
Mr.. Graham was quoted as
saying: For 20 years the peo-
pie have become habituated to
handouts. I have been against
that kind of government" End
of quote.
According to the Public Af-
fairs Institute of Washington,
d. c., business tops all other
groups in the country in gov
ernment handouts. The P. A.
I. lists a few: Special tax ex-
emptions; accelerated amorti-
zation; depletion allowances;
exemptions from income taxes;
flood control; below cost post
age rates; navigation. and other
aids to the shipping industry;
and net losses from defense
production benefits.
How do you think our Lou
voted when these handouts to
business were presented to the
Congress for consideration
And who do you think picked
up the check for these hand
outs to business The answer
-eVen Lou knows it-sixty-
odd million working men and
women in this country. And no
discriminatory lie was drawn
between those workers who
were of foreign extraction"
and the native born when the
tax bills were passed out. :,
He Voted For TIL Act
Mr.. Graham also said: IT
voted for the Taft-Hartley
Bill and l voted against the
amendments to it." End of
quote.
Even Mr.. Taft, co-author of
the Bill, admitted to errors in
the Bill and presented amend
ments to correct the errors.
But Mr.. Graham says, I'm
agin' it.
Back To Good Old Daysc
Continuing, Mr.. Graham said,
and we quote from the press:
I'm my district 40 percent of
the people are of foreign ex-
traction. Until these people
come to understand what
America is, there is no hope"
End of quote.
We believe that the follow
ing is what he meant: Until
the vast majority of the people
in this Congressional District
come to understand what this
country was so years ago or
more, and until they are willing
to go back to those days, there
is no hope-for politicians of
his 10Th Century caliber. And
we heartily agree, because we
are too much interested in the
present and things to come to
bother about things past and
irrevocable.

TOO DIG A HURRY

We are kindly asking the 10 C -
presidents to please take time off
land read the application blanks be-
fore filling them out We have one
form that is used for new members
only, one kind for duplicate policies,
one kind for renewals for the cur
rent Quarter and another kind for
back renewals. By Back" we mean
members who have been out of the
| Association ninety days and more.
1t is really expensive to have to
write two and three times to a local
president spout a matter that could
have be em adjusted in the frs
place, had the president taken time
to read the blank before filling it
out. l think the proper thing to do
IS to have a few of each kind of APP
Iplication blanks on hand.
Tt is nothing new to fill out re-
lnewaI blanks for members who fail
to pay ON or before the date of the
Board, but we have some presidents
who invariably send in the names of
1.-THE applicants and the money and
when we send the blanks back to
them to fill out, they will not return
them. I am sure if. some Of the local
presidents knew the tremendous a
mount of unnecessary work that
some of them cause us in the office
that they would stop right now and
make a New Years Resolution to do
better in 1854
Some of you complain about the
trouble you have with your mem-
/ bers, but you have not seen anything
yet. If you were to work one day
in the office you would become "a
| larmed Just as the General Presi-
dent, Mr.. G.. D. Cotton, who assisted
us in checking a few report blanks.

some of the presidents that he gave

understanding and yet, believe that
you are in so big a hurry to do what
you have in mind to do that you
ball" things up. Please take your
time and especially so when filling
out your report blanks. If you were
to have your Secretary or someone
who writes legible hand, to put all
of your members names on your re-

it would eliminate some of the num-
orous mistakes tn a t are made in
