National Crisis

ELSEWHERE on this page Greater Pitts
l. burgh's Croatian Day Committee calls
attention to the fact that the proceeds of
it's Annual "Dapper Dam Banquet of Octo-
Der "a will be donated to the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis.
That should be comforting news to the
Foundation, which is now caught in the
middle of a polio wave approaching the
dreaded status of becoming threat to the
well-being of the United States.
The Croatian Fraternal Union recog
nized this fact September last when its
Supreme President. bro. V. I. Mandich, pre-
sented $4,000 check to the Foundation
to be used in conjunction with it's nation
wide Emergency March Of Dimes drive.
Bro Mandich made the welcomed pre-
sentation to an executive of the Foundation
during Greater Pittsburgh's 23rd Annual
Croatian Day fete Of the same date.
To put it's financial plight in the proper
perspective, the Foundation reported last
week that more than 60 cents out of every
dollar it spent last year went for costly
patient care.
OF every $40 the Foundation spent in
1858, it's report shows that 1921 went for
the care of polio victims. The remainder of
that amount was used as follows: 1.39 for
research and education: 81 33 for polio pre-
vention, chiefly for the purchase of gamma
globulin (GG): 81 cents for administrative
expenses: % cents for maintenance of state
offices: % cents for medical department
services and IS cents for special services
to chapters.
The Foundation also disclosed that it
spent nearly S4S millions during 1858 and
had yet to pay Sc millions to its various
chap piers throughout the United States. 1t
had only S2.655. 900 in it's treasury at the
beginning of 1854, pitifully small amount
with which to combat polio.
These, then, are reasons enough why
our Western Pennsylvania members and
friends should attend, or otherwise support,
the Croatian Day Committees Polio Benefit
Banquet on Sunday, October "a.
1t is cause worthy of the support Of
every member Of our Society.

Re: Section 275

THAT the Bylaws of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union were made to be followed
to the letter by both the officials and men,
bers of the Society should be accepted as
a matter of fact.
Some, however, would qualify the ac-
cepted fact to avail themselves of right
they would deny others as witness the
criticism directed at the Home Office for
upholding Sections 271 and 275, pertaining
to credits to be authorized from the legal
reserve of member.
Why such criticism should be forthcom-
ing is as much mystery to us as Section
275 of the Bylaws is clear to those who
must carry out it's provisions, to wit: -
"If member has maintained himself in
good standing for a period of three years,
or longer, and ceases to pay his dues, and
does not within 80 days make written re-
quest for any of the options provided in the
Bylaws, then the Union will automatically
maintain his certificate in force as provided
for in Section 271 of these Bylaws, and in
such cases the Lodge shall be reimbursed
for the unpaid dues in the amount of $40 or
months premiums, whichever is greater"
There is nothing further to clarity here
as to the pure and simple meaning of Sec
ton 275, the 9O-day payment provision
Of which may be found, plainly worded,
under Condition No. 10 in every certificate
under the heading Automatic Non-Forfei-
ture' If this be news to some, then they
should read their Bylaws more often.
Finally, if there must be grounds for
criticism, let it be in line with the Bylaws,
and not against their grain.

In line with this intention,
the Committee will honor a
very special young lady, DR..
NADIA iLedinko, a member of
our Youngstown, Ohio, CFU
Lodge IS, who at the present
time is doing research on the
polio virus in the Melbourne
Hospital, Australia.
Member Of Yale Faculty
The Croatian people every
where should bask in reflect
ed glory over the brilliant ac-
complishments of DR.. Ledin-
ko who, in the short span of
some twenty-eight years, has
achieved such fame in the
medical world as to know
practically no equal.
The daughter of John and
Fora Ledinko, NADIA COM
pleted studies at Ohio State
versity, Pennsylvania
State College and Yale Uni
versity. She remained at the
Yale School of Medicine, Pre-
.ventive Medicine Section, for
two years, working at polio
research.
In connection with this
work, she had numerous ar
ticles published in the Ameri-
can Journal of Hygiene, the
Journal of Immunology, the
Journal of Experimental Med
icine, and the Society for Ex-
perimental Biology and Medi-
cine. She was, at the same
time, a member of the Yale
Faculty of Medicine.
Wins Australian Grant
The problem of diagnosing
polio. as described in the New
York Times of April 20, 1852,
has been attacked by the Le-
dinko-Melnick- -Riordan G a m
of Yale.
The new technique de-
veloped by DR.. Ledinko, with
the cooperation of Drs. Mel
nick and Riordan, is that $50
or more tests can be made on
one animal without killing it.
This test is based on the
discovery that tissue from a
monkey can be grown in test
tubes, and that cells Of the
growing tissue will show a
change after being treated
with polio virus. Science
Digest and Spectrum also car
ried the description of this
discovery, as did many news
papers.
On the basis of her work
at Yale, DR.. Ledinko was
granted the Polio Grant for

Italian Leaders
Aided Red Press

Rome, Italy For years
the Italian Government has
been financing the Communist
press, indirectly t. the ex-
tent of about $4,000 yearly
in Rome alone.
This was one of the several
facts that emerged from an
inquiry into the affairs of
the shop that has printed
L'Unita and other Communist
newspapers. The Shop belongs
to the Government as trustee
in charge of property for
merly belonging to Fascist
labor unions.
Hitherto the Shop has
worked almost exclusively for
the Communist party and it's
publications. Many of the
election posters that contrib
uted to the defeat Of the Cen
ter parties last summer came
off these same Government
owned presses.
The inquiry into the shop
revealed it was about $4,000
in debt. For years it had
printed L'Unita at only a
fraction of the price set by
the Italian Newspaper Print
ers Association.

Members Should Respond
In 1943 NADIA was admitted
from the Junior Nest to
Lodge sc. Her main goal, her
burning ambition in life, is
to do her utmost to combat
the horrible disease which
yearly cripples so many un-
fortunate people.
We all know that the finan-
cial resources of the Polio
Fund have been drained to
the danger point this year. 1t
is our earnest hope to swell
the treasury and, at the same
time. honor one of our CFU
members whose life's work is
so deeply engrossed in this
cause.
We appeal to our CFU
members and friends in the
Tri-State 'Area to get behind
this charitable venture and
help us put across a grand
success on Sunday, October

Activity Plus

CTRANGE as it may sound, there is en-
y tirely too much activity in the ranks of
the Croatian Fraternal Union for the Edi-
tors of the Zajednicar to handle
While similar organizations are search
ing desperately for ways and means to stop
letrogression in their folowings, the men,
bers of the Croatian Fraternsl Union. both
here and in Canada, are up to their necks
this year in wholesome activities Of every
description. And the shoe of activity fits
both old and young alike.
While this means work for the Editorial
Staff of the Zajednicar, work above and be-
yond the call of duty, it nonetheless repre-
sents the type of headache an Editor can
learn to enjoy.
Better activity plus than to sit at desk
at the Home Office wondering what to do
to arouse the interest of the membership in
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
BY far better activity Of the first mag
nitude than to have the Editorial Staff of
the Official Organ filling it's columns with
scissored' material Of interest only to the
proofreader. Heaven forbid that we ever
come to such sad impasse.

Bon Voyage

A/E are pleased to ADVISE our ie,o" w
w members that Supreme Treasurer bro.
Martin Krasich will shortly visit with men,
bcls and friends of the Croatian Fraternal
Union domiciled in the State of California,
one of the Society's strongholds.
His first stop will be at Sacramento on
Saturday, October 9, at which time he Will
speak during the "Sv. Vincenca" Lodge 434
BANQUET to be held in honor Of the Societys
Goth Anniversary.
The following day, Sunday October 10,
bro Krasch will speak at a similar celebra-
ton to be held in Cupertino under the auspi-
ces of the Society's United Lodges of Santa
Clara Valley mt. Hamilton" Lodge 6l2,
San Jose, "Soboda" Lodge 676, Cupertino
and de ANA" Lodge 929 Mountain View,
all in Northern California.
Awaiting the pleasure Of all who attend
either the Sacramento or Cupertino celebra-
Nons will be the first West Coast screening
of the film "This Is Your Croatian Frater-
nal Unon," This is 16mm. sound, tech
nicolor production depicting the Society's
internationally renowned greatness
X
Arrangements are also being made for
bro. Krasich to make stopover or two in
Southern California before he takes his re-
luctant leave of the Far West.
One of these may be at San Pedro on
Saturday, October Is, the other at Los An
gees on Sunday, October H. Both were
still in the tentative stage as this editorial
was being readed for press and details re-
NAMED to be put in official order.
When we have been advised by those
concerned, both Sections of the Zajedncar
will publcize whatever arrangements are
finally made in the cases of San Pedro and
Los Angeles, the latter the home Of the
largest Croatian Fratemal Union Lodge
West of the Mississippi River.
K
It should interest our fellow fraterna-
lists to know that bro. krasich's visit to
California will in no way be underwritten
by the Croatian Fratenal Union.
On the contrary, the Supreme Treasurer
will be reimbursed for his varied expenses
by the Lodges and-or Committees which
have invited him to speak in behalf Of the
Society as whole.
Only last week we editorially deplored
the fact that the Socety's hands are tied
under a Supreme Board ruling of several
years standing, when it comes down to del
egating one of its officials to attend ma
ior function at its expense.
Now, bro Krasich's imminent departure
for California merely accentuates the hard
ship many of our Lodges and Committees
must bear in order to secure the speaking
services of an official stationed at the Home
Office i'll Pittsburgh. In our judgment, that
is unfair and not in keeping with the best
interests of the Society,"
Be that as it may we congratulate our
California members on their determination
to bring bro. Krasich into their midst in
October and wish the Supreme Treasurer
fraternal bon voyage.
