George" C. F. U. Lodge 24S

have to undergo an operation
in the future?
The answer, Of course, is
"Yes!" Otherwise your Soci-
ETY. would never have adopted
such a system of protection
in the first place, for it isn't
interested in selling" any
thing which cannot better it's
members.
While it is impossible to
list here every operation now
payable under the New Disa-
bility Plan, all you need to
know is that all operations
are covered i'm this 'Dismem-
berment and Surgical Indem-
nifty" Certificate. This was
not so in the case of the Old
Disability Plan, and those
still so insured should know
as much.
Surely this knowledge of
aid when it is most needed in
time of an unforeseen emergen-
cy should convince those eli
gible to transfer to the New
Disability before June 80,
1854, for their own welfare.
Surely this added protec-
ton is we'll worth the insig-
nificant difference in month
ly dues between the Old and
the New Disability Plan, well
worth your consideration.
Contact Your Secretary
Contact your Lodge Secre-
tary today and ask for copy
of the Sick Benefit Depart
ment's pamphlet containing a
comparison of Operation Ben
efits as paid under the Old
and the New Disability Plans

Be PubIically Honored
By Fellow zumb sraks

Cleveland, Ohio - The An
nual Concert of the Duquesne

q, 1854, at the Music Hall,
one of the better concert halls
in the country. Tickets are
now available from any men,
Der of the "zumberak" Lodge
$50, sponsors of the fete.
Turning to news from the
home front, we'd like to in
form our members and read
ers that we intend to honor
a we'll known CFU fraternal-
list for many years, and one
who was recently elected to
the important post of Council
man of Ward 81, bro. Wilson
Latkovich.
At the last "zumberak'
Lodge meeting we voted to
sponsor a Testimonial Dinner
to honor Wilson who, from
the date of the organization
of our Lodge, has been the
spark plug behind all its
activities.
The Committee selected to
work on the project consists
of George Reich, Chairman,
Olga and Vic Ladaika, George
Muser, Anne Jelenic and Col
die Malone. Because of the
Duquesne Concert, this Ban
quet must of necessity be held
sometime in March, at a suit
able dining room in downtown
Cleveland.
Anyone desiring to make
reservations for this exciting
event may do so by calling
yours truly at PR 1898 be-
tween 800 AM and 500 PM

ton, rest assured it will re-
ceive a warm welcome and be
put to good use.
In conclusion, we should
like to point out that little
Bonnie Lou Burger is the
granddaughter of bro. John
Bronich, member of III e
CFU's Home Office Staff,
and not his "niece" as we in
advertently reported on these
pages in the Zajednicar of
January 6, 1854. We regret
this purely unintentional re-
portorial error.

Speaks With Authority
If the reader is pleased or
displeased, l do not care.
There has been, and is now,
a movement to destroy this
government and enslave the
people.
One authority, Matt Cvetic,
who lived for nine years as a
Communist worker in Amer
ica, says that Red leaders Of
ten expressed the belief that
it would be necessary to MUIR
der one-third of the people in
America if they were victori-
GUS here.
"Mass murder is a stand
ard practice of the Reds" he
says. They killed 20 million
Chinese civilians, and five
times that many is their goal,

Bonnie Lou Burger
bers who benefited from the
dollars and dimes you extract
ed from your pockets each
year when that familiar and
pathetic poster of a Polio pa
tient was brought before you.
Bonnie Lou Burger, the
lovely, smiling little girl in
the photo, is just five and a
half years of age. The oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chester Burger of Farrell,
Pa, Bonnie is a member of
Junior Nest 100 and her
mother an affiliate of Lodge
126.
Stricken Last November
On the ill fated evening OF
November 2, 1858, Bonnie
was suddenly taken ill and
without hesitation was rush
ed to the Sharon General Hos
pital, Sharon, Pa. Here, it was
not a difficult task to deter
mine that Bonnie was a vic
tim of that dreaded disease
RcliD.
The fight for Bonnie's life
slowly gave way to anxious
days concerning the recovery
of the use of her limbs. Gone
were all thoughts of further
participation in the kindergar'
den class which she had be-
gun just that Fall. Forgotten
were the year-old dancing les
sons of this energetic young
ster, lessons which were the
happiest moments of he1
young life.
Doctors Entertain Hope
After seven weeks at tht
hospital, Bonnie Lou wa!
brought home.
To strengthen her legs
which at present refuse tt
navigate, Bonnie is receiving
three Physio-Therapy treat
ments a week at the same hos
pital. By the Grace OF Got
and modern medical achieve
ments, the doctors have higl
hope of seeing Bonnie Lo1
walk again some day.
Only those unfortunate fev
who go through the expert
ences of this disease, an
those who care for them
realize the tremendous finan
cial burden which the Marcl
of Dimes Fund removes from
the shoulders of the strickel
families.
So few of us could eve
hope to assume the financia
responsibilities of a Polio pa
tient involving weeks an
weeks of modern treatment
and medicines.

Dear Tirs:
For your fine cooperation with Mr.. An
thony Braidic in his onnual promotions and
plugging in March of Dimes projects, the
membership of the Chapter and the many
hundreds of Allegheny County polio victims
who have been helped through March of Dimes
. funds sincerely thank you.
I understand that you present March of
Dimes very prominently in your publications
which go all over the Country. This should
bring considerable satisfaction to all your ma
tional membership as the results which we
all hope for, of the mass field trials of the new
polio vaccine get under way shortly That is,
if the March of Dimes this month reach the
amount needed With this new preventive
phase of the fight against polio, it will be the
first time the Foundation can take the often
sive. If you had in all the populous centers,
members with the same drive and enthusiasm
as Anthony Brajdic displays in this area, the
contributions and cooperation of your mem
bership would leave nothing to be desired.
Good Luck And, thanks again.
Sincerely yours,
C. Lawrence Walsh,
Executive Secretary

 Mai. O'Brien has written Watson that on January 12, a party consisting of Capt. A. E. Ashely, Master Sergeant A. J. Anderson and himself are planning on being in Kodiak for three days.
 kAThe party intends to re- cruit and organize a heavy weapons company here. Wat son said that everyone in- terested in joining the new unit should attend the dinner and meeting. A person need not be a veteran to join the National Guard, Watson said.
 Those attending the meeting are not obligated in anyway and may ask any questions they desire.

Suggest CommieS Hose Citizenship 'Ef Convicted

Washington (R)-President
 Eisenhower laid before Con- .gress Thursday a massive
 program aimed, he said, to
 building 8 stronger America" " e: | In a 1000 word state of the union message he declared the nations must pursue peace from. a position of military economic strength, but is pre- pared to use atomic weapons If the need be to preserve 'our freedom. "
 On the domestic front. the presidents proposals ranged from the revision of farm, labor. social security and tax Jaws to demands for votes for !18 year olds. ,
 He further proposed that American citizenship be strip ped from Communists con- lvicted of conspiring, here after, to overthrow the government by force.
 On the ever lively issue of taxes he called for a postpone |ment of reductions in corpora |tion income and excise levies scheduled for April 1. How lever, he pledged more cuts
 later as new economies take effect. .
 Senate and House members broke into rebel yells and war whoops and their heaviest measure of applause at the
 proposal to deprive Con- munists conspirat6rs of thejf American citizenship.

Readers Denied
 Jan. 2 Mirror / On 20. Ruling g

The January 2 issue of the Kodiak MIRROR was barred from the mails by the action of Postmaster Maurice Briggs and the ruling of Louis J. Doyle, t acting solicitor for the U. S.. Postal Department.
 The article in the MIR RORe had reference to The Red Heart Carnival at Kodiak Naval Station. The annualcarnival bene- fits many organizations in Kodiak by it's dona- tions.
 Many Kodiak residents expressed surprise and disgust on the ruling. The article was taken from a publication which had previously passed through the U. s. Malls.
 Subscribers not re- ceiving their January 2. issue of the paper may call at the MIRROR off, flee for a copy. Exrur- gated editions of the is- " sue will not be issued by the MIRROR staff.
 We feel that we are being denied our con- titutional rights of free speech and freedom of the press by the action of two representatives of the U. s. Government" Mel Crawford, MIRROR editor, declared yester- day. Every paper in the territory except the MIR ROR carries such stories. They are harmless. Either small thinking or prejudice is responsile for such action.
