This celebration will long

were present at the finest

Upon learning of the re-

Immediately offered the ia
cilities of my program for
a similar drive in this area.
Then I began promptly pre-

the status Of the local cam

sions and opportunities Of

campaigners for personal
interviews to help them
along in this Tri-State area.
I was the first to offer
this cooperation. The pos

fered an exciting opportu-

But, to earn such an op-

position to offer merchan-

for that matter. However, l
can continue to offer the
facilities of my program
which reaches the largest
daily listening audience of
local foreign programs, a
program designed to meet
the tastes of Croatians,
Serbs and Slovenes, and all
of Slavic descent. These are
all prospective CF'U mem
bers, and my personal SER
vice and enthusiasm to
promote recruiting sug-
gestions for the benefit Of
the organization are always
available.
This, in my estimation,
will have far more overall
benefit in the CFU Goth

lnQlVlQudl Lodges, TO speak
in behalf Of the drive.
Each recruiter of the
organization will, as we
stated previously, receive
the full monetary award
for his efforts, even though
his Points for these men,
bers are credited to one of
the radio broadcasters.
Let us say that one of
our recruiters signed up a
new affiliate for which he
received 10 Points. On the
application the proposer
must state that credit for
the Points be given to one
Of the directors of the ra-
dio programs, bros. Tony
Brajdic, Mark Vinski or
Matt Gouze. At the Home
Office proper records will
be kept and the Points
awarded as specified.
In this matter the direc-
tors of the three radio
hours may reach a so call
ed gentlemen's agreement,
since each one will be in
terested in becoming a
leading figure in this re-
spect.
The directors have moth
ing to lose in this Cam
paign except a little time
on their programs. The
proposers have nothing to
lose since they will still OBJ
tain the financial award
which goes with signing up
a new member.
T h e organization will
lose nothing since it will be
widely publicized over a
greater area and this is
worth far more to us than
the amount which we will
pay to send these men to
the 9th Convention as Hon.
orary Delegates.
The plan is good, at least
according to my opinion,
but it will be to no avail if
the speeches are not ac-
companied by lively action.
Support from all sides is
vitality needed in this mat
ter. Each and every CF'U
member should at all costs
strive to obtain at least
one new recruit either in
the Senior division or the
Junior Order.
Also, each proposer
should allow his credit to
be given any one of the
before mentioned radio an
nouncers. Let's not say: II
signed up a new member,
but I refuse to give anyone
the credit"
This would not be fra
ternal thinking or fair to
deprive those who are will
ing to devote their time
and facilities to the promo
ton of our Campaign,
namely, bros. Vinski, Gouze
and Brajdic.
The medium of radio has
been used as the most ex-
pedient means of promot-
ing various propaganda, so
why not use it to promote
and perpetuate the Gro
attain Fraternal Union?

would be a fine idea to do
nate at least 10 minutes
of his program to the pro-
motion of the 1854 C.F.U.
Membership Campaign and
striving to strengthen our
ranks by his efforts.
This is the year when the
Croatian Fraternal Union
commentaries it's 60th An
niversary and, in honor of
such an auspicious occa-
sion, every means possible
should be taken to make
this the outstanding such
campaign in the history of
our organization.
Every Sunday one of our
leading members from Gle

pearance on bro. Bricks

CF'U Campaign.
The first Of these guests,

started the ball rolling on
a previous program and
he will now be followed by
representatives of other
Lodges.
Every individual men,
ber who takes an active
part in the Campaign will
be financially reimbursed,
at the same proportionate
level as in the past, at the
end of the drive.
But, the Points for these
new members will be Gre
dited to bro. Birek who, if
he has at the conclusion of
the Campaign been credi-
ted with one hundred new
members, will automatical-
ly become an Honorary
Delegate to the 9th CFU

elling expenses and three

AND TODAY
5th Convention - 1898

ica, was held October 1925,
1898, in Chicago, Illinois.
The name of the hall used
for this particular gather
ing is unknown.
A total of I ,494 members
were reported in the ranks
of the Society as the Con-
vention got under way. The
organizations assets at the
time amounted to $5 213.66.
There were 80 deaths and
several disability claims re-
ported, making it necessary
for the Society to assess
members $7.41 in order to
meet the obligations. Only
a few complained about the
situation, the majority feel
ing that the problem had to
be faced.
The age limit for member
ship was raised to 48 years,
but only in the case of those
who came to the United
States within the last 6
years. Those so accepted had
to pay an initiation fee of
$500. Until 1898 many Lod-
ges had members who were
in the Lodge only, but the
Convention of that year de-
creed that all such persons
had to become members of
the National Croatian Soci-
ETY. as well.
Each Lodge was ordered
to apply for it's own Charter
in the State where it was
operating and adhere strict
ly to the laws Of that State.
The Delegates agreed to
increase the Death Benefit
level to $500 and $500 for
associate members.
The question of 'Diplo-
mas" resulted in a lively dis
cussion from the floor.
These diplomas were real
ly Certificates as we know
them today. Another lively
debate centered on the offer
of Vlaho Bukovac of Zagreb
to draw a design for these
diplomas" for 1000 Form
ia. The offer was finally ac-
cepted after considerable ar
guing.
An attempt was made to
approve a Section in the
Bylaws calling for Organ
izers to drum up business for
the National Croatian Soci-
ETY.. The attempt failed.
A suggestion was ap-
proved that the English
translation of the Society's
name should be National
Croatian Grand Lodge" AL
though approved, this sug-
gestion was never used to
any extent.
"Napredak" was selected
to be the Official Organ of
the NCS and it's publishers
were instructed to send
weekly copies to the Su-
preme Office and each
Lodge.
It was agreed that here
after a Convention was to
be held every 2 years.
Elected to office were
Ljubic, Supreme President;
Mamek, Supreme Vice Pres
ident; A. G.. Jankovic, Re-
cording Secretary; Maroh-
mic, Financial Secretary; and
subasic, Supreme Treasurer.
In adjourning this Con-
vention of 1898, Supreme
President Ljubic regretted
it's lengthy duration and pro-
missed that the next one
would be shorter, as it would
be free of arguments. Evi-
