Huge Celebration
United Lodges In
Salute To Society

So. Chicago, Ill. - A few
months ago the membership
of GU Lodge 948 advanced
a history making idea involv-
ing the proposed merger of
our nine Chicago GU Lodges
in a tremendous Goth Ami
versary Salute to the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
W. are happy to state that
this proposal was met with
great enthusiasm as these
Lodges proceeded to select
delegates to represent them
in the United Committee.
This Committee, in turn,
selected bros. Steve Zelenika
as it's President, John Krilich,
Vice President, Michael No
SIGH, Secretary, and Steve Ma
talin, Treasurer. The men,
bers met to formulate plans
and everything is now in read
mess for the gigantic celebra-
tion.
1t was decided to stage the
festival on Sunday, Septem-
Der 9Th, at the Croatian Home
in So. Chicago. All affiliates
of the participating Lodges
are invited to bring forward
any suggestions, ideas or pro-
posals which would serve in
the betterment Of our organ
ization and make our program
more attractive.
A decision has been reach
ed to prepare a souvenir book
let which will be distributed
among our guests on the big
day. We ask our merchants,
professional members and
friends to advertise in this
booklet. So far we have been
very successful and we are
informed that our crew of
volunteer subscribers has
turned up over $4,000 worth
of ads, with the possibility
that we may hit the 50, 800
mark before the book goes to
press.
In order to make this cele-
bration of greater value, the
Committee has declared a
Special Campaign for new
members as a Diamond Jubi-
lee Membership bouquet
which we may present to the
Croatian F~raternal Union.
The first portion of our
program will feature the
showing of that much dis
cussed film, This Is Your
Croatian Fraternal Union!"
This will be followed by the
singing, dancing and playing
of the GU Children's Home
musical groups.
Our main speaker for the
occasion will be bro. v. I.
Mandich, CFU Supreme Pres
ident. AS the master of cere-
monies we unanimously Sc
lected bro. George Grzetich.
We have every reason to
believe that the Croatian
will be bullying to the
rafters with celebrants from
both near and far. The doors
of this establishment will
open at 200 PM, with the
program scheduled to begin
promptly at 800 PM.
Need we say more than to
extend a most cordial invita-
ton to all our members and
friends in the neighboring vi
entities to join us on the oc-
casion of our salute to the
Diamond Jubilee Of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union.

Only the Living God Satisfies

Men do cry out for the living
God, as the Psalmist said Men
do not really care for dead gods.
A deity who is only a name,
definition in a catechism, an arti-
Gle in a creed, a hypothesis in
philosophers mind, concept, an
idea; a god who is spun like cob
web out of thinkers brain. a
god who is another name for
Wish, a god who is no more than
mirage, a reflection of mans
own ego on the blank curtain of
empty eternity such a god no
one wants. 1t is only the living
God who satisfies. Indeed, the
great saints have always believed
that only the living God could in
spire in men this deep desire for
himself. But what is meant by
the living God? First of all it
means the weaver of destiny. A
God who made the universe and
threw it out to whirl forever I'M
tended and forgotten, might be
majestic deity but not the living
God for whom the saints have
yearned. The living God is one

The unchanging God

Both in the Bible Cas in Psalm
1922 and out (as in Christian the
ology) we hear about the unchang-
ing or the Interchangeable, God. We
have to be careful to think of this
as the Bible shows us, and not to
make a caricature out of the idea.
God is the living God; let us keep
that in mind at all times. He is
not unchanging as statue is. A
doll is made smiling; cuddle the
doll or leave it in the rain, and
the doll smiles on. But God is no
doll! God is not unchanging as
formula is in mathematics. Any
mathematical law, any law OF
physics or astronomy for instance.
is Interchangeable; but it is not
living thing: it knows nothing. it
cares for nothing. it can be used
by evil men and good. God on the
contrary is the divine person, not
a what, not a thing, but infinite.
personal, loving our Father. His
unchangingness is not the same
ness of a doll, not the infleXibility
of a formula 1t is the changeless-
ness of a fatherly love on which
his children can now and always
depend.

men. He will not say Yes to
foolish or wicked prayers. He IS
for good and against evil, and he
plays no favorites. Another mis-
take is to think of him like some
human friends, persons who wish
us well but can't do anything else
about it. Human friendship is often
no more than weak and helpless
sympathy. The friendship Of God
comes from the heart Of reality

friends we may be destroyed; but

equipped with shoulder strap
and carrying case, the No. 1
Kodak sold for SIS. After ex-.
posure the camera was shipped
to the company where the
fllm was proceSsed and printed
and a new roll Of films inserted
at a cost Of $40. This did
away with all the messy and
bothersome details that had
kept photography from reach
ing any marked degree of
popularity, and led to the
present status Of photography
as the worlds top hobby. j
BY 1889 the Eastman Co.
had introduced the first COM

with the paper base Of the
stripping film.
Mony Potents Purchased
BY now George Eastman had
come to realize the tremendous
future ahead for amateur pho
Biography. Evidence is seen Of
his Shrewdness as q business
executive of great foresight in
the fact that during the 1905
Eastman gained control Of the
American Photographic mar
ket. He accomplished this by
the simple expedient Of buying
out his competitors. Eastman
further bolstered his grip on
the industry by buying up ev-
cry valuable Photographic pat
ent that became available. And,
although other manufacturers
OF cameras and supplies have
come along over the years, the
Eastman Kodak Co., monu-
ment to the memory of the
great industrialiSt, remains in
a top position throughout the
world of photography.
Now we come to another
facet Of the Eastman person.
ality. Unlike many of his con-
temporaries, who amassed
huge fortunes for themselves,
Mr.. Eastman took a far greater
interest in his fellow men and
co-workers. Almost as fast as
Eastman gained his riches he
proceeded to give them away.
An unassuming man, he kept
many of his phi1anthropies
anonymous during his lifetime.
One such gift was made to the
Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology In the amount of
