members are planning to hold
a very special party in honor
of the fathers in our midst on
Fathers Day, Sunday, June
20. AS usual the affair will be
held in the Social Room of
the Home, beginning at 800
PM.
The event is being arranged
as a supplement to the cele-
bration which the fathers of
our organization staged on
Mothers Day, when they fe-
ted the mothers in a fitting
fashion.
At that time the male MEM
bers of our organization did
the serving and saw to it that
the mothers enjoyed them
selves. In turn, it is now the
mothers who will wait on the
fathers and do all the ar
ranging.
The home town tamburit-
zan will provide the musical
entertainment throughout the
affair.
Instead of following the
usual pattern of having bar
becued lamb on this occasion,
we intend to serve our guests
with barbecued turkey as the
main dish. Taking charge of
the task Of barbecuing the
birds will be our Vice-Presi-
dent, Mike Radman, and his
able staff.
Arrangements for the af-
fair are being made by the
Lodge Entertaining Commit
tee, comprised of Helen Va
haly, Rose Solowaitis, Jennie

Clarion Lodges
To Stage Banquet

Clarion, Pa. - A gala Bon
Voyage Banquet in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marian Batinich
and Anna Bekavac, members
of CF'U Lodges 534 and 248
who are departing on a tour
of their native Yugoslavia,
will be staged on Sunday,
July II, at the Croatian
Home, Maple Ave-, promptly
at 600 PM.
Accompanying these well
known fraternalists on their
journey will be Anna Nosich
of Warren, Ohio, a relative of
the Batinich family. They will
leave Clarion on July IL, to
drive to New York City and
then sail for their destination
Immediately.
They have made provisions
to transport their automobile
and thereby have available
transportation to visit the
many places of interest in
Yugoslavia. On their return
to the States they promise to
relate the conditions which
prevail in the country in
which we all have a great in
terest, the land Of our an
cestors.
The banquet tables will be
laden with a delicious feast,
prepared by our expert cooks.
Chicken dinners will be served
our guests for the price of
$500 per plate and $1.00 for
children under the age of
twelve who are accompanied
by their parents.
The proceeds of this affair
will 60 into the treasures of
both sponsoring Lodges, so
we ask our members to attend
and invite their friends to
join them.

Rox Lodges Will Hold
Annual Fete July nth
AT Well Known Grounds

McKees Rocks, Pa. - The
two CFU Lodges 125 and 143
in the Rox community as you
have already heard or read
will hold a picnic Sunday, July
11th,' at the we'll known Ru-
precht's Grove, off Mccoy
Road in McKees Rocks.
This event has grown into
an annual affair and serves
as a good medium of getting
the local citizenry together
and making each and every
one of us and our friends a
bit more CFU conscious. We
are certain that you will want
to lend your presence to such
a fraternal undertaking in
which janjetina, plenty of re-
freshments and a general
good time will be the agenda
of the day and evening.
Music for the picnic will be
furnished by the Ronald Kar-
lie Orchestra, well known to
the younger set locally and
the CFU stalWarts as well.

Three Illinois Lodges Will Celebrate
Society's b0th Anniversary On July "a
Junior Order Director Michael Grasha
Will Speak During Holiday Festivities

Benld, Ill. - Following the
lead which many of our CFU
Lodges throughout the coun-
try have set, the three affi-
liates in this AREA, namely
Lodge 46, Livingston, Lodge
78, Mt. Olive, and 217 of
Benld, ILL.,, have decided to
jointly commemorate the 6Oth
Anniversary of the Croatiar
Fraternal Union, in Livings-
ton, on Sunday, July 4th.
The decision to stage this
celebration was reached in
spite of the fact that econom-
ic conditions in our locality
are not all we might desire.
In Benld alone, three of the
mines have been shut down
for months, and only a few
days ago the fourth and last
mine was closed. And mining
is our only industry!
Be that as it may, our
membership decided to pro-
ceed with our plans to join
the rest of the CFU world in
celebrating the Diamond Ju-
bilee Of our great and wonder
full organization. To do JUS
tice to the auspicious occasion
we. have drafted an interest
ing program which we knew
will please our guests.

Radio Directors Help

Despite the fact that radio
time is at a premium we
proudly point to the fact that
these weekly, and in some ca
ses such as bro. Gouze's or
Vinski's daily plugs, cost the
CFU nothing.
These true fraternalists are
giving freely of their valuable
moments to expand our house
of fraternalism. This is in
deed a unique gesture, some
thing few, if any, organiza-
tions can boast of.
We personally are con-
vinced that such manifesta-
tions of love of organization
can very well assure us all
that the Croatian Fraternal
Union can, for many more
years, continue to claim an
appropriate motto--Excelsior!

years a representative of the
CF'U Home Office in Pitts

has accepted our invitation to
be our honored guest and
speaker.
Bro. Grasha will fly from
Des PLANES, ILL.,, where he
plans to be in attendance for
the gigantic 4th of July holi-
day picnic annually held by
the CFU Children's Home.
Our Committee will be on
hand to escort him to and
from the airport in order that
he may be with us.
Rounding out a diversified
program we have scheduled
the "Vila" Singing Society of
St. Louis, Mo-, an accomp-
lished group of some twenty
five voices, to entertain our
guests. 1t goes without say
ing that we intend to have a
tamburitza ensemble on hand
to cater to your musical
whims throughout the festi-
vities.
Make your plans now to be
with us on this great Ameri-
can holiday and spend a thor
oughly enjoyable day with
your friends.

Along with the celebration
Of the Diamond Jubilee of our
great organization, this event
will mark the 9th Annual
Fraternal Day sponsored by
the aforementioned Lodges.
For this reason we are look
ing forward to a capacity

With us for this anniversa-

Also occupying the speak

Campbell and Struthers will
likewise find time to be our
guests.
To round out an interesting
program we have engaged a

Thank Lodge TT

ucdI IIlciluS, IellOW DTOCneTS
and sisters of CFU Lodge
1T, I wish to thank all of
you for your very enthusias-
tic show of affection for me
at our Lodge meeting on Sum-
day, May 18th.
Many of you were surprised
to see me because my original
Government orders called for
my departure from New York
around the 21st of May, a
board an ocean liner. How
ever, two days before my
family and I were to leave
Los Angeles, a teletype from
Washington extended my de-
'parture for one week and
changed my transportation
across the Atlantic from a sea
voyage to an airplane cross
ing.
This extension of time
made it possible for our two
older daughters to receive
their Confirmation on May
18 with their class at st.
Elizabeth Church. Further
more, it permitted me to re-
main as Lodge Financial Sec
retary through the regular
meeting of May 18th.
Many of you fine members
did not know that I was be-
ing sent to France by our U.
S. Government as a Civil En-
gineer for the Air Force Mill
tary and Civilian Housing, on
a two year contract.
Your fine words of praise
for my work as Lodge Secre-
tary are deeply appreciated.
From the stirring words of
our Lodge President, bro.
Math Kovacevich, the witty
and humorous remarks Of
bro. Ivan Konjevod, our
Board of Trustees President,
extremely high praise from
our sister Milka Bezich, Trus-
tee, right down the line to
other officers and members,
l was deeply touched.
BY your stirring tributes
and outward signs of appre-
citation, you have shown that
my seven years of devoted
work as an official Of Lodge
1T have not passed without
note.
AS though this was not
enough, all of you went over
board by voting unanimously
that l be given write-up in
the minutes Of our Lodge
meeting, a write-up in the
ia jednicar" and also a $25
gift. Words fail me when
try to express my apprecia-
ton for all of this.
I have worked with you
because I loye to work with
our Croatians and other Slav
peoples, and I am proud of
my Croatian heritage.
Bro. Konjevod, whom you
authorized to purchase the
farewell gift, really went
overheard. He gave me a Re-
flecta camera which cost
more than twice what you vo-
ted at the meeting. However,
when I offered to pay him
the difference, he refused the
money saying, "Seven years
ago I gambled on you when
as a comparatively new trans
teree from Detroit's Lodge
351, nominated you to take
over my office as Lodge 1T
corresponding secretary.
| "You have more than re-
paid me in your fine work in
both the Lodge offices you
have held since that time.
May you always be as honest,
straight forward and sincere
in everything you do, and do
come back to us. Our C.F.U.
needs members like you"
For these fine inspiring
words from a grand fellow
who many love and all re-
spect, say thank you. To all
of you my family and l bid a

if continued, this pace will
lead us to an unfulfilled goal,
we still cannot concede de-
feat. Almost six months of
the drive remain and the OBJ
.jective need not be beyond
reach.
There is always the posi-
bility that the economic con-
ditions will improve and give
us the needed assist. Regard
less of that factor however,
the need for insurance cover
age is always present and
there are still tens of thou
sands of eligible prospects
who will be sought out by
that insurance agent if our
field workers do not get to
them first.
In looking over the latest
list of proposers we can still
feel proud of our house of fra
ternalism. We are one of the
very few fraternal societies
that still depend on purely
voluntary field work and
manage not only to replenish
our normal losses but are
able to register impressive
annual gains.
Canadian Worker Tops
The aforementioned list of
proposers is much too large
to repeat here, but we do
want to express our sincere
appreciation to each and ev-
cry member who has gotten
a new member. We want to
cite but the two leaders now.
The top man of the month
is bro. Joseph StanOvich OF
Hamilton, Ontario, with 1888
points. Thus Canada is again
honOred with the place OF
preeminence in the drive and

also the man of the month.
Bro. Stanovich is now al
most at the half way mark of
his goal-an honorary dele
gateship to the 9th CFU Con-
vention in Philadelphia, come
next year.
The second position in this
lineup of honor goes to bro.
John Stanfel of Des Moines,
Iowa. Bro. Stanfel is an old
timer, a venerable fraternalist
who is literally stumping the
state of Iowa and spreading
the gospel of CF'U fraterna-
lism and bringing more cam
paign activity to that state
than it has had in decades.
We wish you, too, every
success, bro. Stanfel, as we
do to every earnest zealot
who has set his sights on the
coveted goal.
Conway Isn't Sleeping
We are happy to announce
a newcomer to the ever grow
ing army of campaigners.
This one made a most auspi-
cious entrance-with an even
ten new applications.
She is sister Eva Sabolic,
mother of two outstanding
young fraternalists in Con-
way, Pa, Charles, who is the
capable president of the local
lodge, and of Edward, the a.
miable president of the Gro
attain Club, president of the
Conway School Board and
holder of a dozen other titles
in addition to his pr0udest
one of all-that of CFU am
bassador of good will. To you,
sister Sabolic, we also extend
our greetings and best wishes
for success. With such an all

bound to achieve your goal.

Jerome Rappaport showed
himself to be a capable and
thoughtful pianist in his recital
last night at the Phillips Gal
lery His program was solid and
always interesting, and his style
was eclectic and provocative.
The F minor variations Of
Haydn, with which the recital
opened. are in a form Of which
Haydn is almost the sole prac-
titioner. Between ever-intensified
minor variations Of the somber
theme, a major version is IN
serted with little change. Kappa
port handled the combination Of
delicacy and passion with taste
and reserve.
It is surprising that more pi-
anists do not program the great
Bach clavier fugue in A minor
(the one with the prelude in
arpeggioS). instead of always re-
lying on a BuSoni or List tram
ecription. The piece is a bravura
work, musically not inferior to
any of Bach's similar fugueS. and
1t also is more suitable to the
piano than the usual transcript
tions, even though they were
specifically intended for the in
strument. Furthermore. Bach
gives great leeway in the prelude
for the most individualistic self
expression.
The Beethoven sonata, Opus
40, was given a reading of in
sight. It was somewhat marred
by what seemed to be considered
but excessive rubato and tempo
changes. The overwhelming ex-
pansiveneSs of the ending. where
the fugue breaks down into
beautifully idiomatic keyboard
writing, was finely realized.
The recital concluded with the
second Hindemuth sonata and
Bloch's Poems of the Seattle
former piece. lively and vigorous,
to make the recital legitimate,
since Hindemith is fast becom-
ing a sine qua non Of a Wash
ington recital. The latter piece.

Yesterdays performance Of
Mendelssohn's "Elijah" produced
so many aural confusions in
volving almost every participant
that I hesitate to try to Judge
1t for what 1t could have been.
The soloists were all competent.

in their voices and their ap-
proach to Mendelssohn. Mr..

which played well enough except
when they. too. seemed baffled
about balance and tempo.
There was little hesitation
from the chorus, though. for
they knew their notes, their
rhythm, and their words. and
they sang Justify at all times.
This very forthrightness resulted
in an almost unvarying impress
sion Of healthy. raw-boned
shouting. the variety usually
spanked by a song leader at q
spirited community sing.
These impressions may have
been exaggerated by the extreme
