Let there be no letting up
of the drive forward however,
for the journey ahead is long
and arduous. An unrelenting

We have received another

ever expanding empire of
brotherhood. The Croatian
Fraternal Union is taking
firm root in that palm dotted
southland-sunny Florida.
Just a short while ago we
had the pleasure of announc-

C.F.U. Lodge (9S2) in that
state and expressed the hope
that a Junior affiliate would
not be far behind.

Ko!o Federation Will
Stage Festival In May

Cleveland, OHIO - The kO-
10 Federation of America will
hold it's End Annual Festival
on May 80, 1854, in Cleveland,
Ohio. This date falls on the
Memorial Day weekend and
was chosen by the member
ship as appropriate in view of
the fact that our out-of- town
guests may thus spend an ex-
ira day with us as Monday is
a holiday, and also gives our
performers an advantage.
The participating groups
this year come from AM
bridge, Bentleyville, E a s t
Pittsburgh, North Side, Ran
kin and Monessen, Pa, to-
gether with the Kolo Aces
and the "Slavulj" from Cleve-
land, Ohio.
1t is the sincere hope of the
membership that the "Zajed-
nicar" will help a great deal
in giving us wide publicity.
The Kolo Federation of Ame-
rica is still a young organi-
zation destined to grow with
the assistance of our people.
During the course of our
recent annual meeting we Sc
lected the following officers
to head our group during the
current year: President, Mrs.
Charlene Vukela, Vice-Presi-
dent, Don Satina, Executive
Secretary, Nancy Radocy, Re-
cording Secretary, Louise Sa-
SEX, and Treasurer, Matt
Grgurac.
The Executive Committee,
with membership approval, is
busy making plans and build
ing a program that will sure
ly be remembered by all who
attend. The fact that this fes-
tival is being held in Cleve-
land, Ohio, in itself will bring
much recognition to the Kolo
Federation since up to this
date all activities have been
centered around the Western
Pennsylvania area.
We have two Cleveland
groups participating, proving
of course, that interest in the
organization can grow and
festivals can be held in many
other cities.
Support your Kolo Fedora
ton by making plans now, to
attend the End Annual Festi-
val on May 80, 1854, in Cleve-
land, Ohio.

we hope with all our heart that
every motorist in that crowd heard
what that child said. He couldn't
help it-his ball rolled into the
street. Because we're sure he meant
every word he was saying.
Mrs. William N. Cam, Vice Presi-
dent for Home Safety Of the Della
ware Safety Council says, "chil-
dren's work is their play. It's per-
fectly natural for a small child to
get completely engrossed in his
play In fact, that little boy may
have been totally unaware Of the
fact that he had run into the street
because his ball was in that
street. He had not time to look first
to see il there was a car coming.
He was much too busy with his
game.
That's why we would like to set
forth here the premise that the
motorist who injured that child was
morally far more responsible than
the child who, after all. was sim
ply acting like a child. That mo-
tOrist's maturity made him respOn-
sible for the safety of the child.
said Mrs. Cam.
We know the yOungster had no
right to dash out into the street
from between parked cars. We
know that any court Of law would
probably absolve the mOtorist from
any legal responsibility. But we
don't think that telling himself sit
was the child's fault" IS going to
help that motOrist any. We don't
believe his conscience will aecenf
this explanation so easily.
Mrs. Cam urges every mOtorist
in Delaware to begin today paying
closer attention tOl the signs that

such as residential streets, parks,
schools, childish
shouts and laughter, toys, wagons,

signs cautions: Please little less
