To Mark Birthday

Kenosha, Wise. - Don't
forget to set aside Sunday,
February 18th, for that forth
coming gala event, "Amity's'
25th Anniversary celebration,
which will be held at the Po-
lonia Hall in Kenosha.
With us on the festive oc-
casion will be bro. Stephen F.
Brkich, Pittsburgh, English
Editor of the Zajednicar, who
has accepted the Lodges in
vitation to address our cele-
brants during the course of
this salute to our Silver An
niversary.
The program, beginning at
2::30 PM, will feature the
Amity Girls Glee Club, who
have been busy as beavers
getting their vocal chords
back into shape after a long
absence from public singing.
The program will be based
on song hits from past Amity
programs and will feature a
gypsy number in costume, and
also a Yugoslav cabaret scene
with the girls singing favorite
folk songs dressed in native
costumes.
Charles Elias and his Sere-
naders will render orchestral
selections and will also accom-
pany the girls during the
cabaret scene. Later in the
evening GOO PM he and
his boys will play for dancing
in the spacious dance hall so
that you can dance to your
hearts content.
Working on the committee
for this great occasion are
Stella Jambrek, chairman
(who, by the way, was one of
the Charter members of Ami
ty and also a Charter member
of Kenosha's Junior Order
Nest 59); George and John
Deck, Jr., in charge of the
liquid refreshments; K a t e
Kufrin, chef in the kitchen
and Anne Damjanovic, in
charge of refreshment tickets.
The Glee Club, dressed in
their Yugoslav costumes, will
act as mattresses during the
supper which will be served
about $50. Admission tickets
for this gala occasion can be
purchased from any Amityite,
and refreshment and supper
tickets will be available at the
Hall.
Oh, yes, I forgot to include
the comedy part of the pro.
gram. A revival of Amity's
performance of rs c h o o
Days" of years ago will high
light the program. Altho Bet

VerSary OF our great organlze
Membership Campaign that
should surpass all previous
campaigns because of its deep
significance.
Our pioneers could not have
built themselves a greater
memorial than they did when
they laid the cornerstone of
the Croatian Union which
later became the present Gro
attain Fraternal Union.
Not made of cold rock and
brick, but of human, live ma
terial, it has become the
proudest achievement of a
hard struggling people who
came to this country with
nothing else but two strong,
sinewy arms and a determi-
nation to make a go of it, re-
gardless of the obstacles they
encountered.
1t was an uphill pull all the
way, what with not knowing
the language of the country
and not having learned, with
few exceptions, any trade
and they were forced to &C.
cept the hardest of labor al
the smallest of pay.
Pioneers Worried Lot
But they lived frugally
those days. Not only were
they able to lay aside a little
from their pay check, many
also went into small business
es and made good at it.
Today we have quite a few
who, though not millionaires
have nevertheless accumula
ted considerable wealth anc
are living in comfort in theil
old age.
The greatest worry of oul
first settlers was for theil
lux ones and what. woule
become Of them and theirs
If sickness should strike sud
denly, and possibly result il
death.
There was no such thing a:
unemployment insurance, in
dustrial accident compensa
ton, sick benefit insurance Of
social security. All this came
in later years, but it still doe'
not cover all the needs i
should. If a worker got killet
in a factory or mine, the EN-
ployer would give to the wi
dow $4,000 for funeral ex
penses and that was all. Ant
some even refused to donat'
that paltry sum.
A Gregarious People
The necessity therefor'
compelled our people to ge
together and form a societ.
into which they would contri
butte small monthly payment
and which, in return, woult
help them in case of sickness
or accident.

there a five or ten year gra-
ded death benefit period.
Tell them that all perma-
nent type certificates have
greatly increased maturity
values and that the Educa-
tional Endowment at age 18
and the 20 Payment Life is
even cheaper now by ten cents
per month for each $1,000.
Complete explanations of this
new line of wares was printed
in the English Section of your
~" of December 30, 1853,
and the Croatian Section of
January 6, 1854.
Junior Order Prepared
Your Executive Board and
the Campaign Co m m i t t e e
have set what appears to be
a pretty nebuTous goal-6OOO
new members and $6,O0O,0OO
insurance. Yes, it is an ambi-
tious task, but one that we
feel has every chance of at
tainment.
We feel that the Junior De-
partment alone should end the
drive with no less than 4, 900
new affiliates. The ratio of
the Union membership is two
seniors for every one junior.
For this Campaign our record
should and will show two new
juniors for every new senior.
There are, therefore, many
reasons why our predictions
and expectations for 1854
should materialize. First of
all: - You, the fieldworkers,
now have a line of wares that
is second to none. The CFU
certificates are more valuable,
cost less and draw higher div
idends. Your proposer awards
have now been increased to
a new high. Just think, SIS
for every $1,000 of Endow-
ment coverage and Is Cam
paign Points to boot.
1t shouldn't be too much
of a job to amass $50 of these
to earn yourself, besides the
$3.50 in cash Zone dollar for
every point), a free trip to
the CFU's 9th Convention in
Philadelphia next year.
This would be a handsome
reward for our California and
Far West Campaigners. Even
for those who live much clio.
ser, the honor of being desig-
mated Honorary Delegate to
a CFU Convention is a great
distinction!
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-02-03


But there was another pur-
pose why our people were
flocking into such groups.
They keenly felt the need of
meeting among themselves
and exchanging their views;
in other words, they felt the
need of fraternalism.
Because of these two neces-
sites, when the ground was
once broken, they began to
organize Lodges in all larger
colonies and soon realized
that it would be to their ben
eft if they would join these
Lodges together into one big
union, which could do more
for them than if tl ~ re-
mained separately.
Beginnings Of Society
Thus it came to pass that
in the month Of September,
1894, the Croatian Fraternal
Union (then called the Gro
attain Union and later the Ma
tional Croatian Society was
organized and began it's long
journey of mercy and alle-
Walton of human suffering.
The organizers never even
dreamed that the small sprig
they planted on that memo
rial day would grow into such
a big tree that it would dwarf
anything our people have ever
built on this or on the other
side of the Atlantic.
1t is too bad that they can
not see today the results OF
their work, since they have
passed away, but the Society
they laid the cornerstone fo1
will forever remain as a mem.
orial to their resourcefulness
and belief in the future.
Book Still Available
It is not our intention to &C
any further into the history
of the CFU at this time.
Such can be found in the
book History of Croatiar
Fraternal Union" which wa!
published five years ago fol
the 55th Anniversary of th'
organization. This book il
still in stock and can be pur
chased by sending one dollar
to the Supreme Office. If yo,
have not yet read it, yol
should do so by all means.
Of course the most impor
tant undertaking in connec
ton with the Goth Anniver
sary will, no doubt, be a new
Membership Campaign tina
will carry the title "60th An
niversary Campaign. 1t will
be an outstanding effort in al
respects.
Besides increases in prize
payments, the campaigner'
will have a chance to com
pete for the Grand Prize
which will be a free trip tt
the next C.F.U. Convention
slated to be held in Philadel
phia.
Memories Of Yesteryear
On such and similar ami
versaries something peculia
comes over us. Our hearts ar
touched; our minds wande
back and we want to reliv
everything til a t happene'
during the years that ou
memory recalls.
We more carefully scruti
nize the reports that tell u
how many millions of dollar
the organization has paid ou
in benefits to it's members AM
how on various occasions
came to the help of the peopl
that were struck by natura
catastrophies.
All this is amazing whel
one considers that all thes
large sums were gotten to
gether by pennies, quarter
and dollars.
