AN ATTRACTIVE 19-year-

She's won the esteem Of IS
fellows despite a generous
supply of automobile grease
smeared on her face and
hands-even in her hair. Her
favorite dress is an old sport
shirt and worn dungarees on
certain evenings and week

grease rag instead of a hand
kerchief. And her male COM

ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-07-21
WEDNESDAY, JULY Fl, 1854
On This, The Society's Sixtieth Anniversary

If we have mellowed to that passive
point, we are not doing justice to the mem
Dry of those Founding Fathers of the So
ciety who believed with all their hearts that
their handiwork could not bear fruit
through the years unless they, and their
loyal followers, fully realized that Faith
is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence Of things not seem
We, all of us, are enjoying the fruits of
that faith to this day, for is it not so that
the Croatian Fraternal Union of today is
indeed the substance our Pioneers hoped
for, the evidence of a thing they could not
live to see at the height of it's glory?
Verify, it is all of that, and more, a SUI
preme tribute to the amending Faith, Hope
and Charity of our Founding Fathers who
stood for who fought for - all that was
asked of them in the name of God, Coun-
try and Organization for the good of all.
1t is, therefore, our solemn duty on this
6Oth Anniversary to uphold the traditions
of our Pioneers and make even greater the
Society they entrusted to all of us.
Failing in that, we must lose the respect
OF every CITIZEN who, each in his or her
way, has contributed to the welfare of the
United States of America and kept it the
Land of The Free and the Home of The
Brave for all to enjoy in peace.
We cannot - will not - fail if we put
principle above expediency and place our
future, without fear, in the hands of the
faith, vision and integrity of our members
and officials, men and women who believe
in all that is America and in nothing alien
to its hallowed concepts.
And we will not fail if we work together
as brothers and sisters, as Americans with
a tremendous stake in our Country.
The Croatian Fraternal Union is His
tory's Child. AS it's sons and daughters, we
are History's Children. AS such, let us not
barter our greatness for the sake of any
expediency, any 'ism' foreign to Ameri-
canism and Fraternalism!
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-07-21
Splendid Idea

\h/E cannot think of a more important
w subject to discuss at the moment
than the Croatian Fraternal Unions lag
ging Goth Anniversary Campaign.
The drive is not producing anywhere
near the anticipated results, at least not
what we had a right to expect during the
course of a year rife with celebrations in
honor of the Society's Diamond Jubilee. 1t
Just hasn't worked out that way.
An unpleasant fact, to be sure, yet it's
one we can't very we'll ignore.
What to do about it may we'll be found
in the rather simple recruiting plan recent
ly adopted by our Minnesota State FEEDER
alton of Lodges, the members of which will
hold their Annual Meeting and Banquet at
Chisholm on Sunday, September 5.
Each Lodge affiliated with the Fedora
ton has been asked to sign at least two GU
new members before the gathering at CHS
holm and submit the applications on Sep
TENDER 5 as proof that Minnesota isn't
watching the Campaign go by from the
sidelines of complete disinterest. It's a
splendid idea, one worth careful thought.
IL cdCH Vi Tie COClely > ,OSU AIIlc lCdl
and Canadian Lodges and Nests would
adopt the same plan of action, the Croatian
Fraternal Union would gain 2,1S0 new
members from this point on.
Since 2,238 new members were already
entered in the Campaign records as of Jun
80. this would give the Society a total of
4,418 newcomers in all before the drive ends
November 80, 1854. Even at that, includ-
ing "the counting of chickens before they
are hatched," we would still fall short of
our Campaign goal of 5000 new members
when the end is reached. But
A born optimist, we refuse to throw in
the sponge and call upon all who can to do
what they can to promote the Campaign in
these weeks ahead. Every bit of help will
be deeply appreciated and properly recog-
nized in the Official Organ.
We may be down, but we're far from
out. At least not at this stage of a recruit
ing game which means so very, very much
to the future welfare of our Society.
