Cleveland zumberaks viii Celebrate
Seventeenth Anniversary November n

Cleveland, Ohio - With a
very capable and diligent
young lady like Mary A. Pop
ovic carrying on the duties of
Secretary, it would seem GER
tain that the 18th Anniver-
sary Celebration of "zumbe-
raks" CFU Lodge $50 will be
a rousing success.
However, there is always a
lag between the work of a
leader and the final achieve
ment of results, as people
simply fail to get stirred up
Immediately over the an
nouncement of plans. For this
reason we are penning these
words as an appeal to the
membership to buckle down
and lend every bit of assis-
tance towards assuring a
huge success on November 21.
At our next meeting be
sure to purchase your tickets
for the playhouse production
of Elmer Rice's "The Win
ner." We are already pledged
to purchase at least one hun
dred twenty-five tickets, the
proceeds from which we OBJ
tain a rebate.

Chicago Choir In
1st Annual FroIiC

Chicago, Ill. = The Gro.
atian Glee Club Harmony
of Chicago, the newly organ
lied Glee Club, is going to
present it's First Annual Fall
Frolic on November 14th at
the Lithuanian Auditorium,
3133 So. Halsted Street.
This event is supposed to
be somewhat off the beaten
track, as far as glee club pre-
sentations of our nationality
are concerned. 1t is not pat
termed after the formal pro-
gram of chorus type singing
as in the past, and as such
is not being called a concert.
This is to be an event
where both the public and the
club can '1et their hair down"
since the whole affair will be
based on informality. A sort
of night club, restaurant, vau-
deville type atmosphere is to
be achieved by the Glee Club,
putting everyone of the pub
lie at it's ease, while allowing
the membership, who will
perform on this informal pro-
gram of entertainment, a
chance to use their imagina-
ton and other talents. They
will present acts, skits, etc.,
which will come as a definite
surprise, as we'll as a welcome
change to most of our con-
cert-going public.
Whether or not such an
evening of entertainment is
to- be an annual affair, de-
pends completely on the re-
sponse of the audience. If it
is received with the enthusi-
asm that we hope to see, the
affair will be an assured sue
cess and will be retained as
an annual fall performance.
If just one part of the en-
thusiasm being generated by
the young people who are to
be the nucleus Of the program
can be transferred to our
audience, we can be sure of
a standing room only turn
out.
We hope it will gain a fa-
vorable reaction, and we do
wish everyone reading these
lines would try to be there to
let us know what, in their es-
timation, was good, and what
could be improved.
So there it is. November

ership of our Director Ban

Concert there will be music

you kolo enthusiasts, and la
ter in the evening a modern
band will take over the mu-
sical chores.
There will be plenty of
good food, roast chicken,
hams, sauerkraut and koba-
sc, and, of course, the deli
cious strudels which are a
tradition with our people.
Both hot and cold liquid re-
freshments will be served
throughout the day.
We urge you to reserve the
date, Sunday, November "A,
and plan to spend the day
with us, as we are convinced
that there is nothing which
binds us closer together than
the beauty of our old world
songs.
We should all make a pro-
mise to attend and help keep
alive this branch of our ma
tional activity in the cultural
field so that it may never die.
Pass along the news and let's
have a record turnout!

KoIo Federation
A Going Concern

its quarterly meeting on Sun.
day, October Oath, in East
Pittsburgh. Many items of in.
terest were discussed and
some plans were made for the
future. More details about
these will appear later.
At the present time we
would like to stress one par
ticular point agreed upon by
the delegates at this meeting,
and that is that we begin a
teacher training program for
the teaching of kolos. In 9TH
er words, those who can
dance the kolo but would like
some training on how to
teach the steps, may now at
tend special classes sponsored
by the Federation.
In the Pittsburgh area any
one who can dance and would
like to teach the kolo, is urged
to contact Mrs. Charlene WI
kela, Kolo Federation Presi-
dent, at the South Slavic
Workers Hall, East Pitts
burgh.
The first session will be
held on Sunday, November 7,

Cleveland area prospects
will be given instructions by
Mrs. Irma Mullec and Miss

to the Federation. The time
and place will be announced

We invite you people from
the Youngstown, Akron, Bar
berton, Lorain and other
communities in this area who
are interested in teaching ko-
10, to be with us for the in
structions.
In conjunction with this
program we are planning to
have instruction papers made
up so that steps may be re-
called easily if they are for
gotten. For any information
concerning this teacher train.
ing idea please write to Lou.

At our last meeting a date
was selected for our Fedora
ton Christmas Party. 1t will
be staged on Saturday, De-
cember II, 1854. We will all
have dinner at Paule's Look
out in East Pittsburgh, Pa,
and later dance at the Du-

members will plan to be with

At this time we wish to

Ont. Bro. Boljkovac, too, is
very close to achieving his
goal of Honorary Delegate to
the 9th CFU Convention. He
certainly has entrenched him
self in first place amongst
our Canadian recruiters.
And, speaking of Canada,
we are happy to announce
that the Junior Order De-

18 certificate to a citizen of
the Dominion. That member
is Edward Stephen Bradica,
the newborn son of Michael
Bradica, President of our
Hamilton Lodge 954.
Bro. Bradica, always an
exemplary fraternalist, is sat
isfied with nothing but the
best for his offspring.
Canadian Outlook Good
Our readers will remember
that, while this department
was issuing the old type GER
tificates, we were permitted
to III only the 20 Year En-
dowments in Canada in addi-
ton to the Term.
With the adoption of the
new, modern CSC tables, the
Dominion has permitted us to
issue all of our certificates,
i. e., Term, 20 Year Endow-
ment, 20 Pay-Endowment at
Age IS and the Educational
Endowment at Age 18, as
we'll as Payor Benefits.
We cannot close this COM
mentary on Canada without
the warmest commendation
for another Canadian field
| worker. That is none other
than bro. Joseph Stanovich,
Manager Of our Hamilton,
Ont, Nest 397. Bro. Stano-
vich, who now has over 500
Points to his credit, is a con-
sistent laborer in the vine
yard of fraternalism. He is
always casting about for new
ideas to attract new members
Fraternalism His Forte
A few weeks ago bro. Sta
novich sponsored a movie
night. He screened Croatian
, movies for junior and senior
CFU members and interested
non-members.
He used the opportunity
to conduct an open forum dis
cussion about the CFU. For
| the occasion, he prepared a
leaflet, adequately yet con-
/ cisely describing the manifold
benefits of CFU membership,
the new Income Defender sick
benefit certificate and all of
the Junior Order certificates,
particularly the new CSC
issues.
This summary was written
in both the English and Gro
atian languages and would do
credit to any one of us here
at headquarters who are, and
must be, much better &C
quainted with all the techni-
cal intricacies of an insurance
contract.
Our CFU shall always pro-
gress and be in the vanguard
of the fraternal world as long
as it has such avid, self-sac-
rificing exponents. We salute
you, brothers-you and the
hundreds of other jealous
workers in this Campaign. To
