change considerably the pattern of
yearly raises now granted the
teachers.
Under the present setup bache-
lor degree holder gets a year raise
of $210 for the first five years than
sos a year for the next 10 years.
Under the proposed plan, how
ever, the jump the first year would
be only 500 followed by two year
hikes of $3.50 each. For the next
nine years, this annual salary
would jump 5000 a year.
At the same time the proposed
schedule would put the county well
out in front of other jurisdictions
in the area in both starting and top
pay scales.
County Trails
The county now is surpassed by
Alexandria, the District and
Arlington County in starting pay
offers for bachelor degree holders.
The county is tops, however, in the
top scale bracket, ahead of the
other jurisdictions.
The county Education Associa-
ton was represented at the meet
ing when the new schedule was re-
commended. The group deplored
the situation of teachers in the
county and said the new schedule
was needed not only to hold present
teachers but to lure high school
students to follow the teaching pro-
fession.
A survey made by the associa-
ton indicated one out of every five
teachers now find it necessary to
have parttime job during the
school year. And more than half
the teachers, the survey said, sup
plement their income either during
vacations, in the summer or dur
ing the school year.
Furthermore, one out of every
three teachers must go to summer
school to get college credit so their
teaching certificates can be re-
newed. The teachers said the pre-
sent $25 allotted for summer school
courses is insufficient.
Although the proposed schedule
would put the county out in front
on the basis of existing schedules
in the area, the teachers said other
jurisdictions are getting similar
requests and proposals for pay
hikes.
The school board will act. on the
pay schedule but it will be up to
the county council to provide the
funds for the increases.
The county council also has been
beseiged by county policemen for
about eight months for pay in
crease that would put the starting
pay of police private at $4,000.
Other county employees also want
pay increase.
County Manager E. T. Beall has
indicated that the pay problem
will be studied from all angles
before he recommends his budget
in March.

shall try to set down what
think are the factors in the coming
election campaign.
There is just one County issue,
and that is taxation. No matter
how the real estate taxes are ar
rived at and computed, they have
steadily risen, and too far. In my
judgment, after having talked with
people all over this County, the
party that puts in the field slate
that will vote for lower budget,
lower property tax rate, lower bud
get in each in the budget, lower
rate in each fraction in the tax
rate, no new items in the budget,
no pay raises for anyone, lower real
estate assessments, all till we get
this runaway situation in hand,
will sweep the County.
After we get a stranglehold on
the spenders and their systems of
pressure groups-the present curse
of United States politics and econo-
mics-then, and then only, are we
in position to resurvey and talk
about details. Now we must stop
the carefare, socialistie, imitation

money is coming from, but like the
money, we want everything on the

Service on committees, attendance
at meetings, and contribution of
ideas and suggestions, plus assist
ance in their implementation, all
are indications of the desire of the
businessmen in a community to
help themselves by the use of their
abilities and talents to further the
work of their local business asso--
citation, whether it be a board of
trade, chamber of commerce, or
businessmen's association. They
all add up to the same thing-the
desire of many to work for the good
of the community so that all may
prosper as the community pros
pers.
The greatest objective that this
Board of Trade or any other bust
ness group can have for any year
is to achieve the active, whole
hearted, and loyal support of its
members.

Lodges Forwarding Mail At Late Date
Not Cooperating With Supreme Office
Great Deal Of Confusion Can Be Avoided
If Lodge Secretaries Mail Letters Early
!. By Joseph Bella, Supreme Secretary

Pittsburgh, Pa. - On sew
eral occasions in the past, we
have appealed to all Lodge
Secretaries for their coopera-
ton in mailing all official
Lodge correspondence to the
Home Office in plenty of
time so as to reach us at least
blythe end of each month. AS
yet, there are still quite a
few Lodge Secretaries who
are not abiding by our appeal.
We are not requesting this
cooperation to show our
authority, but are merely try
ing to avoid confusion and
extra work at the Home Of
flee so that our assessments
can be mailed out as soon as
possible.
We have been criticized
many times for mailing as
sessments late, and oddly
enough by the very same
people who cannot see fit to
mail their Lodge correspon-
dence so as to reach us by
the end of the month.
Lodges Face Penalties y
Therefore, we again strong
ly urge all Lodge Secretaries
to give this matter their due
consideration, and by so do
ing, make it possible for us
to provide much better and
more efficient service to our
members.
However, if this condition
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-02-17

is not corrected or improved
by our Secretaries, we shall
have no choice but to disre-
gard all correspondence which
does not reach the Home Of
flee by the last day of each
month.
This means that all such
correspondence will be taken
into consideration for the
following month and each
such Lodge shall be penalized
for any credit Forthcoming,
which exceeds more than one
month. There will be no ex-
ceptions to this ruling.
Office Issues Warning
AS an example: If we re-
ceive a suspension form from
the Lodge on March list, or
any date thereafter in March,
such suspension will not be
processed as a transaction for
the month of February, but
will be put into effect as a
March transaction and will
appear on the April list as
sessment.
This means that the Lodge
will get credit for 1 month
only, which in this case would
be March, and the Lodge will
not get any credit for the
month of February. This pro-
cedure will apply in all cases,
such as reserves, cash surren-
ders, reinstatements, or any
other transaction. ...

Fourteen Members Of Utah Family Are
Boosters Of Croatian FraternaI Union
Stjepan And Manda Kosovich Are Saluted
For Long Standing Devotion To Society

Midvale, Utah - It isn't
very often that the members
of "Svi Slaveni" CFU Lodge
38S sound off in superlatives
and high sounding phrases
concerning their assets, but
pride forces lis at this time
to bring to the forefront a
1909 CF'U family housed in
our fraternal midst.
Yes, we are speaking of
Stjepan and Manda Kosovich,
and Of their four lovely
daughters, four sons-in-law,
and four grandchildren. The
entire clan is associated with
the Croatian Fraternal Union
and has been for many years.
Joined Ranks In 1911
Stjepan and Manda were
married on February 20, 1911,
whereupon Stjepan embarked
for the United States a few
short weeks later.
He settled in Bingham
Canyon, Utah, and became a
carpenter for the Kennecott
Copper Company.
He became a member of
CFU Lodge 368 on Septem-
ber II, 1911, and in the years
past has served in practically
every official capacity in this
Lodge. The Emblem of Merit
which he received from the
Croatian Fraternal Union for
ten years Of faithful service
as an officer proudly rests on
his lapel.
Raised Four Daughters
Manda Kosovich came to
the United States in 1922,
eleven years after her hus-
bands arrival, and soon be-
came affiliated with Lodge
1863.
They Immediately set down
to the business of rearing
four lovely daughters, a fam
lily any parent would be proud
to claim as his own. We are
proud to state that each child
was enrolled into our Society
Immediately upon birth.
In 1914, Stjepan and Man
da established residence at
1925 South Redwood Road,
West Jordan, and in that
year we received the entire
family into our Lodge 1888, a
truly great asset to any
Lodge.
