Benwood, w. Va. - The
Manager of Junior Nest 60

three Benwood CFU Lodges
to attend our juvenile annual
meeting scheduled for Sun
day, January 2, at 200 PM,
at the we'll known Brick Bar

For the continued welfare
of the Junior Nest, our
Lodges and our Croatian Fra
ternal Union itself, let's all
be present at this session. The
Manager alone, no matter
how willing he or she may be,
cannot do the job without the
help and support of our adult
membership.
The great year of 1855
brings with it the 10th An
niversary of the founding of
the Junior Order, Such an
auspicious occasion demands
that we commemorate the
event with special tribute.
That is why we ask all men,

went to be found in Wauke-

Hammond, Ind, November
IA; in Anaconda, Montana,
November 20; and then back
East some 1900 airline miles
to appear in Versailles, Pa,
on November 9th.
A week later it was in San
Francisco and then into Can
ada where it was shown in
Hamilton, Ontario, on Decem-

Windsor, Ontario, on January
Is, 1855. February 5th will
find the film. in Pittsburgh
and a week later, February
IL, it will be shown in San
Pedro, California, some 2135
miles away as the crow flies.
The path which this film
has cut over the United
States and lately into Cana
da speaks orchids for the ef-
ficiency of both the mails and
our members who handled the
film.
Many individuals played a
role that carrying out their
end as a dutiful member may
not have appeared important
at the time. It was neverthe-
less and though names are
too numerous to mention,
these discharges of a respon-
sibility go down in the annals
as having helped to further
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
The filming itself is but ano-
ther progressive step to be
with our society.

may best celebrate this birth
day of the juvenile branch Of
our great organization.
We offer a bit of advice to
those adult members who
have no children or grand
children in the Junior Nest.
The day has now arrived
when we must build our LODI

the Nest since we can no
longer look to recruiting af-

That is why we must take

Duuuesne Tamburitzans' Talent Scouts

Aliquippa, Pa. - Another
popular and talented young
lady, Miss Diane Tatalovich,
a member of CFU Lodge 423,
was recently accepted. into
the eager ranks of the world
famous Duquesne University
Tamburitzans.
Diane, the daughter Of our
respected Sam and Anne Ia
talovich who were both born
in America, graduated from
Aliquippa High School last
year and last Fall became a
member of the famed musical
group. She was born in 1885
right here in Aliquippa and
enjoys entertaining with the
Tammies very much.
We have no doubts that
she is progressing very salts
factorily with the ensemble
as we marked the words Of
bro. Mark Vinski in his week
ly- radio broadcast when he
applauded her talents and
beautiful singing.
While we're on the sub
ject of the Duquesne Tam
mics, the leading exponents
Of tamburitza music in this
country, we proudly mention
that Aliquippa is represented
on the roster of this group by
no less than four students, a
proud record indeed.
All of us are familiar with
young Joseph Bilich who has
been with the group for sew
eral seasons. With him we
mention bro. Ivan Babich, an
accomplished dancer, soloist
and instrumentalist in his
own right.
Bro. Babich has served as
the Lodge Treasurer for two
years and we are confident
that upon his completion of
studies at the University he
will, once again, become ac-
tive in our Lodge.

to fail to mention our fourth

Many of our members, es-
pecially those with years OF
seniority never had the means
to visit the Headquarters OF
the Society or it's Children's
Home. The film, "This Is
Your Croatian Fraternal Uni
on" which includes the Gary,
Indiana, Croatian Summer
School, fills this void in the
lives of many of the organiza-
tons staunchest and oldest
members.
Seeing the Home Office and
the Children's Home is the
next best satisfaction to once
in their lives setting their
feet within these symbols of
the Croatian people in Amer
lea and Canada.
Yes, "Ovo Jest Nase"
The film in it's slightly
more than a years circulation
has visited metropolises and
small communities as well.
Those who have seen the
film almost without exception
acclaim it and as "ovo jest

picturing the Croatian Fra

does much to arouse pride in
the organization.
Entrusted as were we with
but the films booking, we
want to express our appreci-
alton to the many field men
who helped shuttle this one
film, sometimes on successive
weekends, across the country.
We also hope with this to
refute a characteristic that
may have wrongly been ap-

they cannot be prompt. Ex-

proven that they can and are.
