cally at her first hearing that
she had never been a Communist
Then she won the sympathy of
the nation in her troubles as
publicized by Senator Joseph Nc
Carthy and was eventually clear
ed.
This time, the Army says it's
a major new charge against Mrs.
Moss consists OF a report that she
had been give q Communist Party

He urged that Catholic Negro
children" be admitted to Catholic
schools where there is no Catho-
lie school especially for them.
Asked about the attendance of
non-Catholic Negro students. Rev
John M. Bann, secretary to the
Bishop, said that the practice in
places where there are Catholic
Negro schools has always been
to take care Of non-Catholie
students after Catholics have
been provided for if room exists.
This is not changed. He said that
he did not know what the atti-
tude would be in white Catholic
schools.
The new procedure makes
Catholic Negroes eligible in Cam
den, for example. Whether or not
Catholics will be eligible will
depend on the local attitude, so
far as the secretary to the Bishop
now knows, as fell as on the
number of Catholics applying and
the facilities available.
He will inform himself more
thoroughly on the question and
give more definite answer later

Study Advent
This Month

Behold, Thy King c0meth," Is
the Advent message that will be
considered during the services Of
worship during the coming weeks
before Christmas at Grace -Luth-
eran Church, Flagler and Tenth
Street.
The Christian Church has now
come into the season of Advent, q
time in which Christians prepare
themselves spiritually - not only
materially and physically with
worldly preparations-but mainly
spiritually for the coming of the
Babe of Bethlehem.
Threefold comin1
The word Advent means CON-
ing. For the next three Sundays
the three-fold coming of the King
of kings will form the basis for the
meditations at Grace Lutheran.
Christ's first coming, into the
flesh; His second coming, into our
hearts; and His third coming, on
the Great Day to Judge the world
in righteousness, will be the three
fold emphasis of Advent.
We must truly prepare ourselves
to receive Him in each of His COM
ingS.

Glad To Help

RE VOL as member of the Croatian
n Fraternal Union of America, mailing
magazines overseas, say, to 4ugoslaVla
Your Government at Washington has
appealed to us to ask this question.
If YOU are sharing your subscription,
and your magazine counter purchases, with
relatives. friends and others abroad - fine.
If YOU arc not, your Government suggests
it would be helpful to the United States
Overseas Information Program for you to
do so regularly.
In special invitation to the Croatlan
Fraternal Union of America, the United
States Information Agency seeks the CO.
operation of all its subordinate Lodges and
Nests, together with all its members at
large, in a nationwide effort to place more
of the representative American magazines
in the hands of the people of Yugoslavia.
Bombardcd constantly as they are, by
the propaganda of Communism, people
abroad need the countering influence of
American magazine writings and pictures,
material which will counteract the lies be-
inc spread against our Country.
The Governments Information Program
includes radio, press motion pictures, and
library center services available throughout
world hungcring for truth
X
There is an opportunity for citizens -
our fellow members - to help their Gov
crnment in this work by sending magazines
overseas on a regular schedule, and by TAX
ing part in other projects that help convey
to others the truth about America.
Americans who join in sending such ma
gaines overseas, magazines that otherwise
would be thrown away, help show the world
that the ideals of the United States are in
harmony with the legitimate aspirations of
peoples everywhere They offer proof posi-
tive that we, as Americans, want to be their
friends, not their masters.
Commenting on this worthy undertake
ing, Mr.. Theodore c. Streibert, Director OF
the United States Information Agency, re-
Gently said "Private groups have given
splendid support to international friendship

tinued hclpfulness to increase the effec-
tiveness of our information program

Worth Repeating

THE continued growth of the Croatian
Fratemal Union Of America, while
others of it's business type are striving des
perately to halt retrogression in their
ranks, is source Of constant amazement
to those allied with the fraternal field
1t is especially amazing to State Insur
ance Department Examiners, men who are
in constant contact with the inner workings
Of numerous fraternal organizations.
These Examiners, group of whom are
currently giving our Society 'the once
over under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania cannot understand how
the Croatian Fraternal Union is managing
to progress when others akin to it arc losing
ground, and losing it fast.
X X X
There are, of course, many, many rea-
sons for the continued success of our So
ciety, the foremost one coming under the
definition of the word "Activity'
Check, if you will, the pages of this issue
of the Zajednicar There is activity on all
fronts, or activity scheduled for the future
There are Bowling Tournaments to partici-
Po1N
brations to enjoy Singing Society Concerts
to thrill to, Koo Festival in the making,
and so on. ad infinitum.
In other words, there is a great deal
more to the Croatian Fratcrna Union than
life insurance protection, much more to the
Society than its routine business dealings
with the membership.
An organization active only in counting
it's dollars and cents cannot attract prospec-
tive members. Not at least in the field of
Fraternal Life Insurance
Widespread activity must be part and
parcel of the makeup of any progressive
Fraternal if it is to grow, to prosper, to
safeguard it's future. Take activity out of
the life of Fraternal and you put it on
the road which leads to retrogression
The Croatian Fraternal Union learned
that lesson during the Great Depression of
the 1905; learned it so well that it has
ever since made its activities pay off in
dividends of success.
