a rabid follower years ago of
the Pittsburgh Pirates of the
National Baseball League and
attended many of their games
then played at the old Exposi-
ton Park on the lower North
Side. But the Pirates he saw
in those days and the ones
now representing the Pitts
burgh club cannot be COM
pared. They really had a team
in those days!
Yes, the members of CFU
Lodge 1 on North Side Pitts
burgh may well take pride
anew on Sunday, March 21,
in the fact that Petar Pavli-
nae was one of them in those
'early years.

Struthe s, Ohio - We
point with great pride to two
young affiliates housed with
in the ranks of est. Joseph
C.F.U. Lodge 504 who have
distinguished themselves in
widely different fields of en-
deavor. ., .e,.t-..
The first of these, bro. Wal
ter Zaluski, is twenty-seven
years of age, married and the
father of a lovely three-year-
old daughter. During the End
World War he served his
country for a period of two
years, and upon his dis
charge became employed by
the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company.
The energetic bug of poll
tics bit our young member re-
Gently, and during the last
elections he was chosen as a
Councilman at Large. Yes,
sir, for a young man, he is
certainly climbing the ladder
of success at a very fast pace.
The son of Mary and the
late Joseph Zaluski, Walter
also has three brothers, Mi
Ian, Karlo and Joseph, who
have been lifelong members
of the Croatian Fraternal

and his parents, Steve and
Fora Sontich, reside in Lo-
wellville, Ohio.
Bro. Sontich, his mother
and brother, John, have been
active affiliates of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union for
many years. Joseph is a bach
elor and a veteran Of World
War II.
The citizens of Lowellville
displayed wise judgment last
Fall when they selected bro.
Sontich to serve as a men,

qualified for this position and
will do his utmost to elevate
the standards of this impor-
tant civic function.

Detroit Nest 318 Mothers Club Aims
To Keep Youngsters Constantly Active
Various Educational Classes Organized
To Create Interest In Juvenile Program
BY Helen Stimac, Member, Lodge 351

Detroit, Mich. - Sister
Helen Hecimovich, Manager
of Junior Nest 318, called a
meeting on Thursday, March
4, 1854, for the purpose of
organizing a Mothers Club in
order to stimulate greater in
terest among our Juniors and
to boost the Nest treasury
figures.
Due to. the inclement wea-
ther the attendance was not
as great as was anticipated,
but the mothers present came
up with good suggestions.
First of all, we wish to start
a tamburitza musical instruc-
tions class and a kolo dancing
class. We already have some
children registered for these
instructions, but not enough
to warrant going into this
expense.
Enroll your children in
these classes so that we may
proceed. Contact Helen Heel
movich, 17175 Orleans Street,
Detroit 3, or phone TW
2-2071. AS these projects get
rolling, we can expand and go
into many others.
Card Party March 25th
To acquaint everyone with
our group and, at the same
time, swell our treasury, we
are having a Card Party on
Thursday, March 25, at 7:30
PM, at the Croatian Home,
1875 E. McNichols Road. All
parents, relatives and friends
are cordially invited to take
part in this venture.
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-03-17

T h e evenings entertain-
ment will include your choice
of card games, bunco and 50
forth, a table prize, door prize
and refreshments. All this is
yours for an admission fee Of
S1.OO per person. Don't miss
this enjoyable evening.
The mothers who made q
point of attending our initial
meeting were very generous
in offering to donate baked
goods for this card party.
Some of our businessmen are
also generous in donating pri-
zes, and our thanks go out to
all Of them.
Boost Bowling Tourney
The next meeting of the
Mothers Club will be held on
Thursday, April 1, at 7:3O
PM, at the Croatian Home.
The election of officers will
take place at this time, so be
on hand and help us create in
terest in our Junior Nest.
With the forthcoming Goth
Annual CFU Tenpin Tourna-
ment being staged in Detroit
on May 6, 7, 8, and 9th, we
want to get as many Junior
teams participating as possi-
BILE. If your child is interested
in bowling, contact your Nest
Manager or any one of the
bowling committee. This goes
for all bowlers, so get your
entry blanks mailed in as
early as possible.
Put all these dates in your
social date book, for we hope
to see you in attendance.

Salute To Mato Troselj
In the first week of Janu-
ary we personally received a
letter from brother Mato
Troselj, member of Lodge
500, Geraldton, Ont. The let
ter stated that he had taken
upon himself the task of re-
activating the old Nest.
Because of ill health and
grim winter weather he was
unable to send in more than
one new application for Junior
membership. We wrote back
and told him that it would be
impractical to activate a Nest
for just one member but that
we were willing to do so as
soon as he sent in at least
six more.
Less than a month passed
and we received a nice fat en-
velope from bro. Troselj with
the required number of new
membership applications and
an appeal that the Nest be
chartered.
In conclusion he expressed
the wish and hope that the
current membership drive be
a successful one.
With such ardent support
ers, with such devotion to our
great organization, we can all
feel certain that the campaign
will succeed and the Union
prosper for years to come
What could be more symbolic
of it's greatness, of it's terri
torial vastness than to see il
extending it's vigorous roots
from the verdure of the sub
tropics to the ermine coatec
northlands.

and tended over by Pavlinac.
He was looked upon as
a leader and the Croatian
people then gave him the af-
fectionate title of "Petar Pa
sa", and he was known
throughout the country by
that title. The word "Pasa"
seems to be of Turkish origin
but to the people it meant a
leader and they simply adopt
ed it and associated Pavlinac
with it.
Defeated In Own Lodge
We mentioned previously
that Pavlinac would live to
regret his action of not ac-
cepting a post on the Supreme
Board at the convention of
1904, and that is what actual
ly happened when the time
came for election of delegates
to the Ninth Convention in
1906.
Pavlinac was defeated for
election in his own Lodge in
Pittsburgh, and it seemed
that he would miss this con-
vention after having been pre-
sent at all previous gather
ings. But his friends came to
the rescue, for they felt that
his presence was needed at
the convention, and in those
days a man could be elected as
a delegate from another
Lodge even though he was
not a member of that Lodge.
And thus it came about
that Lodge .287 of Lorain,
Ohio, elected Pavlinac as their
delegate and sent him creden-
tials for the New York Con-
vention.
At, this Convention, Pavli-
nae was elected as Convention
Chairman, the first time in
the history of the Society that
q Chairman was elected by
the delegates. Heretofore the
Supreme President served as
the Convention Chairman.
kAd it was at this Conven-
65s that the delegates, by
reclamation, elected Pavlinac
as the Honorary Supreme
President of the National Gro.
attain Society, the first time
in our history that such an
hynor was conferred upon
any member. And then tt
keep him on the active list
the delegates proceeded te
elect him as the Chairman Of
the High Trial Board.
Failure OF ZOtti Bank
Following this convention
our people and our organiza
ton were shocked through
the failure of the Zotti Banl
in New York. Many of oul
people lost money in thi'
crash, for the head Of tn
Bank, Franjo Zotti, was wei
known and admired amonl
our people and many entrust
ted their funds to his bank.
Zotti was Supreme Presi
dent of NCS at the time, hav
ing been elected at the con
vention of 1905. It was a seri

Zotti was forced to resign hi
office and that was the begin
ming of a vicious campaign a
gainst the NCS and it's off
GERS directed by the "Narodr
List" a Croatian newspape
published by Zotti in NeN
York, and no one to this da
can estimate the damage tina
this fight caused our society.
Pavlinac, with the othe
officers of the Society, wa
an object of attack and the
fought back as well as the
could, and without the med
um of their own newspaper

while. But Pavlinac helped

Brings Back Memories OF Outstanding Man

vi OUTSTANDING NAdu
At this convention of 1909,
Pavlinac again served as
Chairman replacing the Chair
man originally elected after
the second day of the conven-
ton. Pavlinac was elected as
President of the Board of
Trustees at this convention.
In 1912 at Kansas City he was
elected as Chairman of the
High Trial Board and re-elect-
ed to that position in 1915.
1t was in 1912 that Pavli-
nae presented his first Table
of Rates for the National
Croatian Society, but the Ia
BILE was not adopted as pre-
sented, the delegates having
reduced the rates.
Is Buried In Millvale
Shortly after the conven-
tion of 1915, held at Cleve-
land, the Treasurer of the
NCS, brother Thomas Lacko-
vic, resigned his post and the
members were called upon to
elect a new treasurer by re-
ferendum vote. It was the
first time that a major office
had been filled by referendum
vote.
There were Is candidates
for the post, among them
Petar Pavlinac. Pavlinac was
elected as treasurer and as
sumed his new office on May
1, 1916, and he held this po-
sition until his death the fol-
lowing year on March 13,
1917.
His passing was mourned
by all members of the Society
and the funeral was one of
the largest, with people COM
ing from near and far to pay
their last respects. He is bur-
led in the cemetery of the
North Side Church out in
Millvale, Pa, and his body lies
in a vault next to the. graves
of Marohnic, Subasic, Frko-
MIA and others prominent in
our Society's fraternal life.

people. She is presently living
in the home that they made

Mary Pavlinac, daughter
of Petar, is currently serving
