again to walk it's countryside past women washing
in streams, past rumbng handmade carts, past
sitting their doorseps lingering their instruments
the music that lives in their valleys and hills.
This was the atmosphere in which Preradovic Gro
attain bard born the place from which he drew his
breath and gained his inspiration In his very soul there
breathed romantic love for medieval traditions which
found expression in two dramas, Marko Kraevich and
Vladimir Kosara But some of his best works lyric
poems which have been put to music and has given
preston to the melancholy music sung and fingered
instruments described in the above passage. His pen
sve melanchoa beautifully expressed in the Aegory
Putnik, (The Wanderer):
'Who has stirred thee heart of mine,
That thou art so restless now?
AS bird in cage thou longest,
In the heaven to wing thy way
Be STILL my heart be still! :"
Music expresses feeling and thought, without lam
guage 1t below and before speech and is above and
beyond all words Beneath the is the sea-above
the clouds the sky The old music for the part
expresses emotion feeling through time and emphasis
and what is designated melody.
As listens to the poetry of Preradovic put to
music, he pictures FORMS gmpses of the perfect
the swift movement and swayng of the kolo dancers the
happy laughs of costumed peasants in all their Sunday
finery gathering in front of the village church. Before
pass the endless panoramas. We vast landscapes
with valleys of verdure and vine with soaring crags,
rnged beneath by trees of all description in Lka Bosnia
Savona. We find ourselves again the Blue Adriatc
where the pillows burst with joy on Damatan shores
surrounded by white karst mountains There at night once
again the cloudless sky dotted with countless
stars. In moment the of Preradovic break into
song. The music becomes a river of melody flowing
through wondrous Croatia suddenly it falls strange
chasms and the mighty cataract changed to sevenhued
foam. =
1t is said that great music is always sad because it
tells of the perfect and such is the difference between
what we and that which music suggests that even in
valleys of joy bound to find some tears This is
and has been the story of Croatia which Preradovc was
able to understand and put beautiful poetry and music
the responsibility of the Croaan Gee Club "Pre-
radovic of Gary to carry this fine tradition of culture
in this great country of The tolerance and freedom
which the United States of America sybolzes have made
it possible to enrich this country with the traditions mu-
sic and culture of many nations
Long live Preradovic! May the society carry on for
many generations its great mission of making known to
younger generation and the American people the
music and poetry of Croatia

knew that years from now, if only we
could wander up the dusty road towards
the villages and hear above us, as we
walked, the melancholy, throbbing mu-
sic of the peasants, and finally see the
figures whirling in their gay costumes,
we would feel once more this same
poignant joy. For Croatia was in our
blood, with the intensity of it's colors,
the endless winding of it's roads, the
purple shadows on it's mountains, and
the life of it's vital peasantry. We knew
that we desired nothing more than once

AND TODAY
18th Convention - 1912
Part No. II

IVA, was AASAu oSPCSAi
ber 9 to September "a, 1912,
in Grossman Hall, Kansas
City, Kansas.
The Convention got under
way with the seating of Ko-
sto Unkovic as Chairman of
the proceedings, following
which a motion was imme-
diately made and passed to
deny admittance to repre-
sentatives of the newspapers
"Narodni List" and "Rodo-
ljub" for publishing uncom-
plimentary articles regard
ing NCS officials.
With this out of the way,
the Delegates next listened
to and promptly adopted a
Resolution condemning the
government of Austria Hun
gary.
Next came a pleasing re-
port showing that the men,
bership of the Society stood
at 30,174 men and women
affiliated with 473 Lodges.
The assets of the NCS at the
time were $292,9O6.96.
Supreme President Hal
die informed the Convention
that the purchase of the So
ciety's Home Office at 1912
Peralta Street, North Side
Pittsburgh, entailed $4,000.
He also revealed that the
NCS was now issuing certi-
ficates to all members.
The Supreme President
went on to express satisfac-
ton over the way the Zajed-
nicar was being edited and
published and suggested
that the Official Organ be-
made a daily publication
This was quite an about-fa, :
on the part of the Supreme
President, for at the previ-
GUS Convention, held in 1909,
he strongly urged the abo-
lition of the Zajednicar.
A draft of bylaws was
submitted to the Convention
and these were bitterly cri-
ticized by Supreme Presi-
dent Hajdic as centralizing
too much power with the
Supreme President, who was
to be permanently located at
the Home Office. Bro. Hal
die feared that this would
lead to the establishment Of
a dictatorship and a subse-
quent disregard for the
rights of the members.
The Convention criticized
the Society's Supreme Board
for permitting the division
of North Side Pittsburgh
Lodge 20.
Time out was taken at
this point to hear an address
by the Honorable John Mar
shall, candidate for Vice
President of the United
States of America. Mr.. Mar
shall will be remembered as
the man who made famous
the statement: - "W h a t
this Country needs is a good
five-cent cigar!!"
Petar Pavlinac criticized
the Home Office for delays
in sending out monthly as
sessments to Lodges and
stated that there were evi-
dences of gross mismanage-
ment. Supreme Secretary Jo-
sip Marohnic retorted that
the NCS never had such a
Supreme Board as the one
in power at the time, the
members of which were con-
tinually arguing with one
another.
To add to the wrangling
angle, the High Trial Board
reported that it had taken
action on 245 cases since the
last Convention and urged
more peace in the NCS.
So many were the debates,
discussions, etc., at this
gathering of 1912 that we
will report on the remainder

Pretty Shoe IS. Old Story

The shoe was one Of the first
articles of apparel to get the
fashion treatment" According
to authorities, the ancient belief
was that the foot was the first
to enter the door, and hence the
first to catch the eye-so it
should be well dressed" to make
| a good first impression of the
visitor.
There's still a lot of truth in
that, even to this modern day.
People still endeavor to "put their
best foot forward" to make a
good impression. No wonder it's
so important to have that foot
Well-dreSsed.
In ancient Egypt and Baby
lonia and Persia the wealthy
classes wore shoes lavishly in
crusted with costly gems-the
gaudier the gems, and the more
of them, the more impressive
the social rank.
Came the era Of fabulous fab
RIGS cloths SO brilliant and ex-
otto as to glisten like thou
sand, tiny multicolored candles
from the foot. And again, the
greater the sparkle and the
more luxurious the decorative
touches, the loftier the social
prestige.

Congress $ Would Transfer Indian Hospitals to PILLS.

WASHINGTON, R-The Sen ate yesterday passed a House bill transferring the operation and maintenance of Indian hospitals from the Interior Department to the Public Health Service.
 The measure approved by a 57-27 vote, now goes back to the House for concurrence in a. Sen ate amendment making the ef- fective date of the transfer July 1, 1855, instead of this Thursday.
 Supporters of the legislation said it was designed to give the Indians better health service, at larger, better staffed hospitals. Opponents argued it would force on the Indians change they don't want.
 'Oklahoma's two Democratic senators, Kerr and Monroney, said the Indians in their state were definitely against the bill, preferring to keep the hospitals they have.
 Kerr said there was no showing that the government would be better off and, he maintained, the Indians would be 'much worse off"
 Sen. Watkins R-Utah), floor manager of the bill, said, how ever, that most Indians favored it. He also said it had the support of the American Medical Assn. and numerous other organizations that have studied the problem.
 Kerr said that even if the transfer should bring about bet ter medical and hospital service, it should not be inflicted" on the Indians if they don't want it.

 Dr. William Dittmer, power manager for Kaiser Aluminium Co.,, told the Chamber that Alaska someday will have a high voltage power grid such as now covers the Pacific Northwest.
 He made the comment after flying over the Ramparts on the Yukon River, the largest single potential source of power in AL aSka.
 "Just now," he said of this area, Tt is too far from industry. And if you had plans and specified tions ready today, it would be six or seven years before power would be available.

l2-Day Civil War In Guatemala Is Over Today

GUATEMALA, lR m The fight ing was over today in Guate- mala's 12-day civil war, and the US. embassy hailed the outcome as a victory over Communism.
 The new military regime called on all civilians to surrender any arms in their possession. It pre- pared for talks with the anti Communist insurgents on the fu- ,ture course of this Central Am erican republic.
 Former President Jacobo Ar benz GuZman was reported to have taken refuge in the Mexican embassy here, along with Com munist and leftWing leaders who had supported his regime.
 Col. Elfego Monzon, the leader of the new junta, called on all persons to surrender their arms or face severe punishment. The Arbenz government was said to have distributed arms to farmers and workers prior to his custer on Sunday.
 Monzon and Castillo Armas were expected to meet today or tomorrow in neighboring Fl Sal vador to work out details of both the ar1nistice and new govern ment.
 Though no formal cease fire had been proclaimed from either side, all fighting was believed to have halted.
 It was generally conceded that the army's resistance to Castillo's forces had collapsed.
 Qn Washington President Ei- senhower said it would be deceit ful if he tried to hide his pleasure over the custer of the Commun- it's and their supporters in Guate- mal0.
 The Mexican embassy bulged with leftists and Communist re- fugees, just as Fl Salvador's dip lomatic home here had been crammed with fugitives from Ar benz government before the army forced him to resign Sunday. Other Reds and former govern ment officials holed up in the Argentine embassy.
