Dobro Nam DoSIi!

San Francisco, California
William J. Swift. Oakland,
will long remember November
/. He should.
Swift admitted in court
that day that he failed to
heed II traffic tickets. So he
paid off to the tune of $3.50
in bail. AS he strolled from
the court room he was hand
ed 16 more warrants served
by San Francisco authorities.
That cost him another $50.
But the end was not yet in
sight.
"Be My Guest Inste d.
AS he started to leave the
second time, police officer
William Mestrovich handed
him $500 warrant from
Alameda and promptly took it
back from the by now
thoroughly confused Swift.
BE my guest instead said
the Alameda gendarmc to the
bewildercd man.

Ottawa, Canada The
number of visitors entering
Canada from America in 1858
scared to an all-time high of
S2,025,000 from 26,277,00O
visitors the year before.
Canadian government Off
cials feel that the record will
be broken when all such sta
tistics are compiled for 1854.
The rapidly waning year was
an especially good one tourist
wise for Canada, which is
growing by leaps and bounds
and attracting the attention
of the world as representing
a great nation in the making.
Hundreds Of members of
the Croatian Fraternal Union

Now, One To Go

Asst week we promised our readers that
l. we, personally, would sign at least one
new member this and next month, two in
all, in very simple endeavor to help make
the Croatian Fraternal Unions 6Oth An
niversary Membership Drive a success.
Further we appealed to our editorial
followers to 90 out and do likewise for the
good of Society which most certainly de-
serves the support of those who arc privi-
legged to belong to it.
Today, we are happy to report that we
have managed to fulfill one half of our
modest. but nonetheless important, quota,
We signed new member on November 5.
So, we have just one to go before the
Campaign ends on December 81, 1854 to
carry out pledge which is the essence Of
simplicity itself = if one is sincere in MAX
ing it and carrying it out to the end.
Frankly there's nothing to it.
We wonder how many of our readers
will be quick to agree that there really is
nothing to it, then turn around and do eX
actly nothing about it. Yes, we wonder

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1854
Great American

CATURDAY, November 18th, will mark
- the 98th anniversary of the birth of the
late and beloved Louis Brandeis, a Justice
of the United States Supreme Court.
An outstanding liberal lawyer, Bran
dcis gained national attention in his early
days while representing the cmploye in
many important, far reaching cases involv-
ing the wages and hours statute.
In 1916 he was appointed a Justice of
the United States Supreme Court by Pres
idcnt Woodrow Wilson = the first Amer
lean Jew to be so honored. With Oliver
Wepdel Holiness Brandeis formed the lib
cral element Of the Supreme Court for
many years.
His easy grasp of the most difficult le-
gal and social problems and his ultra high
ethical standards won for him the utmost
respect and admiration Of the Nation and
the legal profession. He retired from the
Supreme Court in 1899 at the age of SO and
passed away two years later.

During brief stay in Washington sew
cral years ago, we visited the beautiful, awe
inspiring Supreme Court Building.
While there, colored guide conducted
us through various rooms of interest, one
Of which contained an oil painting of the
universally admired Louis Brandeis.
Our guide spoke with almost choked
emotions as he told us in brief of the good
Brandeis had done for the common man,
Of the patience and sagacity of great man
who sat on the bench of the highest court
of the land hating no one or anything.
Justice Louis Brandeis must have been
great man, kindly soul, to have merited
the undying respect of his fellow men, 1t
could only happen in America.
Where but in America could Jew have
risen to such international renown?

Toner Institute

\A/EsTERN Pennsylvania members of
w the Croatian Fraternal Union should,
if at all possible support the Toner Insti-
tutc Pittsburgh a fine "Home for Boys
For fortyfour years, the Toner Insti-
tutc has provided a home for unwantcd,
neglected and needy boys. In that span of
time, some 10 900 boys have found security
and hope within its walls.
Many Of the boys who come to this in
sttution arrive on the scene destitute Of
hope weary in body and soul, hungry and
friendless. But when they leave, in time
they depart with training which cquips
them for honest decent citizenship
X
1t may surprise our fellow members to
learn that the Toner Institute receives no
support from the State or Federal Govern
agency on the outside.
It's existence depends upon friends who
have a soft, warm spot in their hearts for
boys caught, through no fault of their own,
in the maclstrom of life.
Surely many of our members entertain
that feeling of compassion for those less
fortunate than themselves and will want to
send Rev Father Regis. o. NJ. Cap, do
nation to help him aid the boys who come
to the doors of this haven of refuge.
Father Regis is hopeful his plea for do
nations will not 60 unhecded, especially
with the approach Of Christmas increasing

charges happy. No matter how small. send

Gift to Gods poor always pays rich divi-
dcnds" Indeed it does, in many ways.

"Not of the letter but of
the spirit for the letter kill
eth, but the spirit giveth life
When st. Paul wrote the
above to his followers in Cor
NTH, he had no thought that
he was really enunciating the
basis Of Fraternalism, but
actually that is what he did.
The Fraternalist is not
blind to the law and he does
not seek nor even counte-
nance breaking the law, but
he does recognize that in ma
ny cases even the law does
not fully express the spirit
Of those who made the law.
1t is never possible for the
layman to interpret or apply
a law. 1t is always possible to
consider the spirit. There is
not a fine hairline between
right and wrong in the heart
of a Fraternalist. The spirit
that moves him sees a broad
wavering band between the
two forces that considers ev-
cry man and his motives be-
fore it condemns a mistake.
No man can know the
force or the motive that
moves another. What may
appear to one as glaring er-
ror may when all the facts
are known be the only course
that the other could take.
What may even appear to be
breaking a commandment or
a law may be an act of kind
ness and generosity when it
is understood.
The way of life should
ever be the way of the spirit
and that is the way of broth
erilood. We are taught to
pray forgive us as we
forgive others and that also

Welcome, PFC!

DITTSBURGH is playing host this week
! to the 43rd Annual Convention of the
PENNSYLVANIA Fraternal Congress.
In welcoming the Delegates to the two
day gathering at the William Penn Hotel,
we do so with a sincerity born OF the tact
that the Croatian Fraternal Union has been
an affiliate member Of the Congress since
its inception forty-three years ago.
K
That unconditional success will mark
the Congress- meetings is forcgonc con-
clusion, for failure has never been assocl-
ated with a fraternal undertaking.
True entirely too few Pittsburghers
are aware that the Congress is holding its
43rd Annual Convention in this, "Thc City
of Tomorrow" But that shouldn't serve to
dishearten anyone.
After all, Fraternalists believe in doing
big things. good things in quiet way -
and not entering or leaving town with
nothing concrete to show for it.
Fraternalism, like Americanism, stems
from the heart; not from noise, tub thump-
ing, bunting, parades, and the like.

since the skills they offer help

"All of our parents were at

to have all non-citizens be
naturalized," he added.

To Be A Brother, Think As A Brother

is a matter of the law and
the spirit. Only as we strive
to be generous and forgiving
can we "love our neighbor

And all of these things are
Fraternalism. To be a broth

Luther w. Youngdahl was
right in refusing to disqualify
himself as presiding jurist
in the trial Of Owen baltimore
on perjury charges.
The prosecutor. u. S. At
torney Leo A. Rover, had
based his affidavit calling on
the judge to step down on
an accusation that Judge
Youngdahl was Of the opinion
that defendant baltimore was
innocent. In his memorandum
rejecting the prosecutors Pc
tition, the judge went to the
heart of the matter when he
pointed out that under our
system there is a presumption
of innocence until guilt is es-
tablishcd by due process Of
law.
Judge Can Do Judging
If Mr.. Rover had reason to
believe there was an improper
tie between the judge and the
defendant, he might justi-
fiably have called on the
judge to withdraw. But since
nothing of this nature was
alleged IN his affidavit, it had
every appearance of an overly
Jealous attempt to affect the
outcome of the case by in
fluencing who would hear it.
Now that his move has been
turned down, let him get on
with his proper job of pre-
senting the evidence. Judge

John B|atnik IS
Lauded By Writer
Minnesota SOlOn
Pleaded With Tito

Washington, ID. c. - Drew
Pearson's washington Merry
Go-Round" column of Novem-
ber 1 contained the following
salute to man of growing ma
tional stature:
Though it didn't get into
the headlines, one of the un-
official diplomats who helped
to smooth out the important
Trieste problem was Demo-
cratic Congressman John Blat-
mix of Minnesota, an American
Of Yugoslav descent.
"Three times during the war,
Major Blatnik was parachuted
behind German lines into
Yugoslavia, where he worked
with the Yugoslav underground
against the Nazis.
Last year Congressman
Blatnik happened to be in
Yugoslavia at the time the
United States and England
pulled their tragic boner de-
manding without advance
notification that Tito evacu-
ate Trieste. Following that ul-
timatum, Tito mobilized troops
around Yugoslavia, and Yugo-
slav public opinion reached
fever pitch.
"Blatnik, who was on the
scene, Immediately called on
Tito, persuaded him to enter
into direct negotiations with
Italy. Then he flew by military
plane to NATO headquarters in
Paris to report to General AL
fred Gruenther. His conference
helped to get Yugoslavia back
into the groove as far as diplo-
matte talks were concerned"
Led Fight For Ssaway
Of Slovene descent, Mr.. Blat-
mix was returned to Congress
November 2. He is expected to
play a forceful role in the
House as the result of the re-
cent off-year elections, which
put control of the House of
Representatives in the hands
of Democrats.
Mr.. Blatnik was among the
Congressman who led the fight
for the building of the St.
Lawrence Seaway and joined
with those who helped Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower put
the project across during the
last session Of Congress. When
completed, the Seaway is ex-
pected to be a boon to both
America and Canada in many
beneficial ways.
Well Known Nationally
Congressman Blatnik is we'll
known to thousands of West
ern Pennsylvania members of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
He last appeared at Pitts
burgh in 1850 when he ad-
dressed the Annual "Fraternal
Day" Celebration staged at
West View Park under the aus
pices of the Society's United
Lodges of Western Pennsyl-
vania Committee.
He will bear watching when
the new Congress convenes
next January.

THE more we study the results Of the re-
cent off-year elections. the more we are
convinced that November last was ano-
ther American Independence Day"
Where the candidates were supposed to
win in breeze, the voters blew them out
of public life. And where they were picked
to lose, the "uninformed' electorate went
out and decreed otherwise
There were Mexican standoffs," too,
as witness the races in New Jersey and
other states where the voters almost de-
cided that they liked both candidates a
bout equally as we'll for reasons known only
to those who make their decisions in the
democratic sanctity Of an American poll
ing booth.
If nothing else. the American voter
proved on November We takes his
politics seriously enc axe up his
own mind for the goc eraee man.
He proved also thu his Country
needs more than it does a good five-cent
cigar is far less two-bit pundits and their
ilk who try to predict the outcome of an
election and would have the voters cast
their eyes in no other direction.
In short he proved that an unemployed
man won't 90 for platitudes; that no man
likes to be likened to dog: that apathy is
what politicians have in their pants when
they talk through their hats that the aver
age American isn't interested in the out
come of an off-year election
Let each party make what it will out of
the November 2 upheavel. But let neither
party forget that another day of reckoning
is as inevitable as tomorrow itself.
Sooner or later, the American people
catch up with the passing political parade
and then comes the revolution, the oppor-
tunity to show that independence is still
our greatest single blessing.
