Oldest E.S.L In
9th Anniversary
Pioneers Shape
ROusing Evening

Cleveland, Ohio The
month of November will pro-
baby be the most active
month of the year insofar as
social events are concerned
here in Cleveland.
Joining the parade of Lod-
ges which will be celebrating
their an n ersaries this
month is Pioneer" Lodge
663, whose members will
mark the 9th Anniversary
since the Lodge was founded.
This years event, in line
with tradition and custom,
will take place at the Slovene
Auditorium on St. Clair Ave-
nue. on Saturday evening, No
vember Goth, and the Ami
versary will be celebrated
with a Dance that will fea-
ture the music of Eddie Ha-
bat and the boys.
This will mark the first
time since the Lodge was or
ganized that the annual cele-
bration will be held 50 early,
because it was usually held
on the first Sunday in Decem-
Der. The committee in charge
of the entertainment feel that
they have selected an ideal
spot for the annual dance,
coming as it does on the Sat-
urday before Thanksgiving
Day.
The Pioneers is the oldest
English Speaking Lodge in
the Croatian Fraternal Union,
and with a membership of al
most 300 it stands today as
one of the largest among the
Lodges which were originally
organized as English Speak
ing Lodges.
We feel, too, that our or
chestra selection for this
dance is one of the best, be-
cause Eddie Habat is one of
the most popular Polka re-
cording stars in the business
today.
So, let's make it a date to
be with the Pioneers on Sat.
urday evening, November 20,
at the Slovene Auditorium.

ers, performers and our Won
derful audience.
Space does not permit us
to thank you all individually,
much as we would like to do
so. Is it any wonder then that
with cooperation such as we
received in putting this affair
across, our Croatian Frater-
nal Union has assumed such
tremendous Importance and
strength over a span of go
years?

bly, steel, has been the chief
target of the recession. We
can safely venture the state
ment that most of our men,
bership derives it's sustenance
directly or indirectly from
that facet of the economy.
Yet here, too, the results of
the Campaign have been en-
couraging.
Incoming Mails Heavier
There are daily occurren-
ces which serve to emphasize
this devotion to the Society.
Opening of the mail, a per-
functory routine, one might
say, can be a lesson in true
fraternalism in action.
Let us take just one day,
an ordinary day, for example.
On that day, October 20, we
received a bulging envelope
from bro. Joseph Frankovich,
we'll known Secretary Of
Lodge 25, of McKeesport. In
that envelope were exactly
95 Campaign Points to boost
bro. Frankovich's standing
into the very top echelon Of
campaigners.
On this typical day, we re-
ceived 81 Points from bro.

self of attending the 1855
Convention at Philadelphia in
the role of an Honorary Dele
gate.
Always among the Socie-
tvs foremost recruiters, bro.
Balich has headed the Goth
Anniversary Campaign vir-
tually from it's opening days
months ago and vowed at it's
very inception that he would
emerge as an Honorary Dele
gate. That he did over the
weekend after much work
afield.
Our heartiest congratula-
tions are extended bro. Balich
in this, his hour of fraternal
tame and glory.
Deadline: December 81!
In view of the fact that
the Goth Anniversary Cam
paign will not close until De-
cember 81, 1854, still others
are certain to join bro. Balich
in the winners circle.
Additional victors are ex-
pected from both America
and Canada now that the
Campaign deadline has been
changed from November 30
to December 81. The addi-

as we'll as the delicious food
and refreshments prepared
by the Committee, with the
Croatian Recreational Center
as the scene of festivities.
It was a celebration truly
befitting the greatness of the
occasion, the observance of
the Goth Anniversary of the
founding of our organization.
Grounds damned Early
Hours before the program
was scheduled to begin, the
grounds were swarming with
humanity, our members and
friends who came to join us
in the salute to our Society.
Since our program had re-
ceived tremendous publicity
in the "Zajednicar" prior to
the date of the affair, it
! would be repetitious and su-
| perfluous for us to eulogize
the various performers and
performances.
Let it suffice for us to
state that each individual act
was received with the great
est enthusiasm, every perfor-
mer given his due credit and
every inspiring speech falling
on most receptive ears. Inso-
far as our audience was con-
cerned, nothing in the line of
entertainment was lacking.
Crowd In Festive Mood
Immediately following the
conclusion of the program a
delicious dinner was served.
AS a matter Of fact, hot bar
becued lamb and baked good
les were available throughout
the affair. Dancing COM
menced at 700 PM and the
shutters did not cease until
the late hour IF HOO PM.
After a full, happy and
complete day we went to our
respective homes feeling that
we had done our part in
showing our love and respect
for our Croatian Fraternal
Union on it's Goth birthday:
Everyone Aided Cause
There is no doubt that a
great amount of hard work
went into the preparations
for this momentous occasion
and we would like to go on

tional month will give at least
several recruiters the time
they need to fulfill the quota
of $50 Points.
There is a possibility that
as many as ten (10) will
finally qualify as Honorary
Delegates and come to be
honored in September of 1855
during the 9th Quadrennial
Convention of the worlds
largest, most powerful Croat
order.
Latest List Next Week
The Official C a m paign n
Standings through October 81
will appear in the next issue
of the Zajednicar. All re-
cruiters credited with 80 or
more Points will appear on
the listing now being checked
at the Home Office.
In the meantime, every
one can make some folding
money during the remaining
days of this drive. No one
is being asked to work for
nothing. Far from it.
Surely there must be at
least one membership pros
pect in your vicinity!

les, California, and that mark'
of our organization, as well E
fraternal organization, to hol
far west. After the decision
Pittsburgh, we well remember
the dissatisfaction among our
members because of the high
costs connected with holding
a Convention on the Pacific
Coast.
However, the closer the
time for election of Delegates
came, the higher did interest
soar within the Lodges in
election of Delegates.
Now that we are just about
on the threshold of a Conven-
ton year, it is not amiss to
give reminder to some of our
Lodges, which in the past
were wont to send their own
Delegate, or perhaps two or
more, % the Conventions,
that the danger exists that
they will not be able to send
their own Delegate, two or
three, as the case may be, for
the reason that they will not
have a sufficient number of
members in the Lodge at the
time when Delegates will be
elected.
Some Below 200 Members
The following Lodges had
their own Delegates in the
past, but according to their
present membership standing,
they will have to be joined
with some other Lodge for
election purposes, because the
number of their members has
fallen below 200:
Lodge No. 2, Benwood, w.
We 1875 members; 3, McKees-
port, Pa, 100 members; 40,
St. Louis, Mo-, 191 members;
21O, Chisholm, Minn., 191
members; 240, Hi b bin 6,
Mimi, 1876 members; 200, So.
Chicago, ILL.,, 191 members;
300, Bessemer, Pa, 1914 mem
bers; 800, Kansas City, Kans.,
199 members; 391, West Al
lis, Wis, 1873 members; 435,
Youngstown, Ohio, 1872 mem
bers; 731, West Allis, Wis,
1874 members; and 919, Sault
Ste., Marie, Ont, Canada,
with 191 members.
These Lodges can seek no
better opportunity to fulfill
their quota of membership to
qualify for the privilege of
electing their own Delegate,
as in the past, than to do 80
now during the current Jubi-
lee Membership Drive of the
So~iety. Not only must they
raise their membership to
200, but they should have
four or five members over
that number to forestall the
danger Of losing some men,
bers by deaf or as a result
of unemployment, and there
by unable to choose their own
Delegate.
Facing Delegate Loss
The following Lodges in
the past had two Delegates,
but this time there is the pos
sibility that they will be quail
flied for only one Delegate
unless they can increase their
membership with new mem
bers so as to reach 400:
