members of abraham Lin
coin" Lodge IS will hold their
second and final Picnic of the
season on Sunday, August Is,
at Crows Run, off Route 88,
between Conway and Free
dom.
The outing will also mark
the annual treat the young

we urge the parents to make
doubly certain Sunday that
their boys and girls are in
attendance to receive the sur
prise in store for all of them.
Music for your dancing

Cokeburg Lodge
In Weiner Roast

COkeburg, Pa. - AS is the
custom of our GU. Lodge
1854 Kolo Group, we are again
sponsoring our Annual Wei
ner Roast on Saturday, Aug
ust II, beginning at 900 PM
in the evening.
The affair will be held at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Rozich WHO are loca-
ted at Eighty-Four, or better
known to us as Ontario, Pa.
The festivities will be on the
far side of the Rozich place in
the area facing Nichols
School. Just follow the road
around the Rozich home bear
ing to your left, and you will
see the lights and fire. You
can't miss it!
Instead of following the
procedure Of previous events
wherein the men brought the
beverages while the women
contributed the food, this
year we intend to sell admis-
sion tickets for the price of
$1.O0 per person and this
should take care of all the
refreshment costs.
Since none of our affairs
are complete without tambur-
itza music, we've made ar
r~angements to have this on
tap also.
Should the weather man
decide to be un-cooperative,
We'll shift our festivities to
the Croatian Home and carry
on from there. At any rate,
we urge our members and
friends to join us on August
IA, and let's all have a grand
time together.

In making comparisons in

this year, we came across a
unique fact which, in all
probability, is a first" in our

Last year a total of 480

eternal reward in the first
six months of the year. From

the new membership enroll
ment of the comparable per-
iod of last year.
We want to point up here
and now that the efforts of
every single field worker are
appreciated and that they are
reflected in the larger enroll
ment. The reason for the end
result still not showing a
spectacular increase in senior
membership is that there has
been an increase in the termi-
nations category sufficiently
strong to offset even the lar
ger recruitment. We can ina
CINE then what the picture
would be, were not the Cam
paign bringing in replace
ments.
Let us shed every vestige
Of defeatism. We need not
again detail the qualifications
Of the economic situation to
emphasize the fact that it has
! made recruiting a much more
difficult proposition.
We can be proud therefore
that in spite Of that our zeal
Gus field workers have
brought more new members
into the fold this year than
last. We can proceed with
confidence and determination
to make the last four months
better yet and, who knows,
but that we may be able to
meet our goal.
TOpnOtch Grand Prize
The grand prize of an Hon
orary Delegateship to the 9th
GU Quadrennial Convention
is a worthy objective and it
need not be beyond reach for
a sizeable group.
We should keep fresh in
mind the fact that even
should that escape us, we will
still be the recipients Of a
very rich proposer award for
every new member enrolled.
As everyone knows, the
! processing and accepting of
new applications for any one
month terminates on the 25th
and all forms received there
after are included in the next
months business.
AS we write this, therefore
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-08-11

we already have what looks
like a most suspicious begin
ming for August. The Junior
Order Department alone has
already received over fifty
applications. Almost half of
these, % to be exact, came
from sister Pauline Stotz,
that paragon Of Nest Mana
gers who finds recruiting
time in spite of her many adj
mirable activities on behalf
of the $50 members of Nest
10.
That Gary affiliate will
now number we'll over 900
members, the pride and joy
of the entire CFU-a verita-
BILE city in itself in our expan-
sive and expanding domain.
Applications Roll In
Sister Stotz's contribution
to the drive in this instance
netted SIS 900 in new cover
age and 70 points. Though
the preponderance Of credit
goes to her, she did receive
yeoman assistance from John
Spanich with one application,
J. Pavlovic with 3, sister Mix
sic with 2, and Eve Jelusic
with 4.
Sister Leopold of the head
quarters staff submitted an
application, as did Emily Mu-
hic of Duquesne, Pa. One ar
rived from sister Dragica
Blaskovic; one from bro. Alex
Skoke of Stellarton, Nova
Scotia; one from Joe Pisk,
San Francisco; one from Matt

not produced the anticipated
results.
A listing of our Individual
proposers, together with their
accumulated Points, is carried
in both Sections of our Off
cial Organ once a month.
Were this an ordinary annual
membership drive, we would
express complete satisfaction
with the results, as our fig
ures show that the halfway
mark in the Campaign boasts
greater progress than in
previous ventures.
But, the Jubilee Campaign
conducted in honor of the
Goth Anniversary of the
founding Of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union warrants out
standing effort and success
on the part of our Society's
builders.
Never before have we set
the goal of a membership
drive as high as we have for
this Goth Anniversary COM
memoration. Six thousand
new members, representing
six million dollars in new in
surance, is indeed a lofty am
bition.
Although we cannot compli-
ment ourselves that we have
reached one half of our goal
at this half way point in the
Drive, we are not discouraged,
we have not lost faith, but
look forward to eventual sue
cess. Here are the reasons
why!
Let's look over the results
of our previous Campaign at
it's halfway mark and at the
end of the year, and then let
US compare figures to find the
answers.
Campaign Holding Own
To the end of June last
year, we signed in the adult
branch a total of 953 new
members. The total figure at
the end of the year stood at
2,244 new members, or 1921
members recruited in the last
six months of the year.
Also, to the end of June,
1858, in the Junior Order,
1921 members were added to
the roster, and at the end of
the year this figure was
boosted to 3,O88 members, or
1,797 members signed up
after June 30th.
This year we find that up
to June 80, 1854, in the Senior
Dept, we strengthened our
ranks with 973 members and
1883 recruits in the Junior
division. Therefore, should we
follow the ratio and pattern
of last years campaign, the
ultimate results in the Goth
Anniversary M e m b h ip
Drive should be the greatest
ever realized in our fraternal
history.
This, then, is the reason
why we shouldn't despair,
why we cannot lose hope in
the final outcome of the at
tainment of our goal, that we
will place upon the altar of
our glorious celebration 5000
new members with six mil
lions in new insurance, for the
Goth Anniversary commence

nal, cultural and humani'

Each season of the year has its
own kind of beauty. but the bril-

most beautiful of all. As I viewed
the gold and scarlet glory of the

Spokane last weekend, and as !
noted the ever-changing terrain, ]
was reminded of the insignificance
of man.
1t were as though the 300 miles
were one great canvas on which
the Master Artist had painted
The majesty of the towering Cas-
cades, the simplicity of rolling
hills, the barrenness of the great
ness of the Creator-Artist who
could conceive such a variety OF
topography to enchant our minds
Mans humble mind, abb, to make
highways through the mountains
to tame the mighty waters and
transform them into current, tC

nothing he can add for il

ficult to describe it or the emo
