w success brewed during the July 25th
Celebration of the Society's 6Oth Anniver-
sary, let us not forget that its Membership
Campaign is still in our midst.
There's work to be done if it's Campaign
goals of 5000 new members and $6,0OO,-
900 in insurance are to be attained before
the drive ends November 80. If all of us
fail to see those goals realized, because of
individual neglect, then the celebrating of
recent vintage in the Society's honor was
nothing more than a waste of time.
Those sincerely interested in the Gro
attain Fraternal Union must think of it -
work for it = 365 days of the year, and not
merely during one day set aside to salute
it in public. Business before pleasure is still
a sound line to follow in any case.
So, let us get on with the serious busi-
ness of making this Membership Campaign
the success it deserves to be.

Still No. |

A MERICA is the home of five major ira
! \ ternal orders, with 10000 or more
members. whose doors are open to eligible
applicants of either Croatian, Slovenian or
Serbian extraction.
One of these organizations is comprised,
in the main, of Croats, three of Slovenes,
the other of Serbs. The combined member
ship of this so-called "~Yugoslav Big FIVE
as of January /. 1854, was 2oO,4lO men,
women and children. Their total assets were
$50 394, O3O: insurance in force $24 ,434,-
425; and reserves S5O,814,o11.
No. | among these five groups is, OF
course. the Croatian Fraternal Union, which
started the current year with lOo,5zl senior
and Junior members, assets OF Nj ,ozo,9ol'
insurance in force of SS1 TAI 100, and re-
serves of $40, 4SS, 1888.
Occupying second place, at the time
was a Slovene order with 12,2oO adult ana
g., Juvenile members, assets of Sl|,45',o5o,
insurance in force of S51 ,OO1 ,o4S, and re-
serves of S13,2 93 .30S.
Other interesting statistics pertaining TO
these ORGANIZATIONS show that the Croatlan
Fraternal Union has consistently outscored
it's competitors the past five years IN the
vital matter of attracting eligible prospects
to loin it's vast ranks.
During that period of time, the Croatlan
Fraternal Union Melted 3,746 new senior
and Junior members, as against the next
best mark of 1903 turned in by the second
largest of the three Slovene orders entering
into this editorial discussion. On the other
hand, the strongest of the Slovenian trad
suffered a loss of GA members between
January 1, 1851, and New Years Day OF
1854, something hardly to it's liking.
Be that as it may, one fact stands out
above all others: The Croatian Fraternal
Union is still North Americas No. "Yu-
goslav Fraternal Organization" and a
power to be reckoned with in a field where
competition is fierce, the stakes high.
Our fellow members should be openly
proud of the fact that their Society towers
far above the others under discussion and
stress it's might in the presence of prospec-
tive members.
And especially so throughout these last
four months of the Croatian Fraternal
Unions 6Oth Anniversary Membership
Campaign, which is to end November 81!

Great Success

THE Official National Celebration of the
! Croatian Fraternal Unions 6Oth Ami
versary, held Sunday, July 25, at West
View Park, Pittsburgh, was, to put it very
mildly, the most successful such undertake
ing in the annals of the Society.
When the celebrating was over, the his
tory of the Croatian Fraternal Union had
to be revised to include the following
~"firsts'' which attended the fete.
II 1t marked the first time in six de-
cades that one of the Society's major ami
versary celebrations was co-sponsored un-
der group auspices, in this case by the
Executive Board of the Croatian Fraternal
Union and it's United Lodges of Western
Pennsylvania Committee = the latter com-
prised this year of 30 Lodges.
p 1t marked the first time in 60 years
that an anniversary was duly celebrated
with the entire program of music, singing,
dancing, speeches, ETC., held outdoors.
81 1t marked the first time since the
Society was organized in 1894 that an ami
versary celebration was attended by as
many as 5000 people, a number arrived at
July IS by the management of Yves. View
Park after making a careful check of the
vast throng which damned the Parks Talk
lie Temple to witness the days program.
II 1t proved - once again - that our
members and friends in Western Pennsyl-
vania will support two major annual affairs,
as they did July rs at West View and as
they will September 4 at K%ennywood Park
on the occasion of Greater Pittsburgh's
23rd Annual Croatian Day.
K X 4
Above all, the events and end results of
July 25 proved that the Croatian Fraternal
Union is far removed from any immediate
or remote danger of being passed off by its
membership as representing ",just another
organization in their eyes.
There is still abroad a deep rooted es-
TEEN and respect for the Society, no little
of it evinced July 25 by its American born
members. They came to West View Park in
droves to show that they, too, are proud of
their membership in the worlds largest,
greatest Croat fraternity.
Of them We are especially proud, for
God so willed it that we too were to be born
in these United States, raised as an Amer
lean of Croatian descent, and taught by our
parents never to be ashamed of our ma
tionality. We learned that lesson we'll.
Imagine then, if you can, the pride with
which we carried out our duties July rs as
the Master of Ceremonies during the stag
ing of the Society's Official 6Oth Anniver-
sary Celebration Program. If this is the
last honor to enter our life, it will, believe
us, be honor enough to live with for the
remainder of our days.
What more can one man say to show
that to him the Croatian Fraternal Union
is not Just another organization" but truly
a great American institution?

Juniors On Go

OOKING ahead. as we must in our line
l of fraternal work, we cannot help but
make mental note of the fact that 1888 Will
see the membership of the Society celebrat-
ing the 40th Anniversary of its ever eA-
banding Junior Order Department.
Already ideas are being exchanged as
to WAYS and means of celebrating that mile
stone in fitting style, suggestions which en-
tail everything from the staging OF a JUNIOR
Order Convention, replete with officially
elected Delegates and all the trimmings, to
mass attendance at major league baseball
and professional football games.
Possibly all this, and more. will come to
pass before that 1855 salute to the Junior
Order is brought to a close and the atten-
ton of all is called to the official opening
in September, of the same year. of the So
cietv's 9th Quadrennial Convention, slated
for Philadelphia, Pa.
In the meantime. our Juniors are on the
proverbial 60 on many fronts. Some are
taking in baseball trays as guests of the
American League Cleveland Indians and
the National League Pittsburgh "Pirates,'
the latter a sorry lot this season.
Still others are giving Kolo Dancing a
whirl on an unprecedented basis, the latest
to take up the pastime being the boys and
girls of our Euclid, Ohio. Nest 373. These
youngsters will rehearse for the first time
on September End and make their public
debut as soon as possible.
Activity is also rife in tiny Cokeburg,
Pa, where plans are now being made to
hold a series of "Teen Age Nights" for the
pleasure of the community's youthful Nest
122 and Lodge 354 members, most of whom
are members of the Lodges kolo Group.
We could cite many more examples
along this line as proof that no other organ
ization can go to the mat with the Croatian
Fraternal Union when it comes down to
sponsoring Junior activities and come up
the winner in the end over our Society,
Let these suffice until we have more
time to get at the meat of the matter
