good many years since we
have undertaken any drama

years, our Lodge was very
active in this sort of thing.
So, once more we will have

entertaining.

it easy.
For this very reason we
appeal to our younger men,

conducted in both the English

bro. Vincent Biskupic, who
sent in Is points.
Bro. Biskupic just recently
returned from a trip to Eu-
rope and we suspect that the
three campaigners in the u.
S. who are ahead of him may
well look around for more
new members in order to
maintain their relative posi-
tons.
We were most pleased to
receive three applications and
Is points from Helen Chop,
Manager of Nest number 1 of
Kansas City. We are glad to
see the Nest which bears the
honored position of the num-
Der 1 Junior affiliate take an
active part in this years
Campaign.
The high man on this most
honored list, the top cam
paigner, bro. Geo. Balich,
Secretary of our Indiana Har-
Dor Lodge 288, has every in
tention of remaining in that
position. That e~nd-of-August
total of 500 points was aug
mented today by another II.
Canadians Aiding Cause
Our Canadian pace settlers
are not to be outdone.
Bro. Joseph Stanovich,
Manager of Hamilton, Ont,
Nest 1877 ended the month of
August with 454 points as
second place holder in the
Dominion. Today Sept. u he
sends us another 80 points to
place him pretty close to the
international leadership.
And last but by no means
least comes bro. Juraj Boil
kovac, Secretary of Schuma-
cher, Ont, Lodge $50, who
sends us 8 new applications
for a neat 80 points to boost
his total above that end-of-
August 2O2 to 234.
To these unfaltering zeal
OTIS goes our thanks and our
most sincere concentrations.

ed up even a single member

Pittsburgh, Pa. Official statistics compiled at the

and at the same time, help
our fellow member, by at
tending the Card Party next
Friday.
Incidentally, while we're on
the subject, how about drop
ping a card or a line to sister
POlich. We know she will ap-
preciate your thoughtfulness.
Her address is Mayme Po-
Itch, 6029 So. Marshfield Ave-
nue., Chicago SO, Illinois.

lLOuSeS, ueClucu W SPollooi
this venture upon hearing of
the sad plight of sister Polich.
Mayme Polich, a kegler
listed in many past c. F. U.
bowling tournament rosters,
was in the usual high spirits
of our sports enthusiasts at
the Goth Annual GU Bowl
ing Tournament held in De-
troit, Mich, last May.
AS a matter of fact, this
young lady conquered the ma
pie lanes in the finest of
styles, coming in for honors
both in the doubles and sing
les events.
She was seen participating
in all social phases of the ga
la weekend and headed for
home with mental reserva-
ton to attend next years
tourney classic.
Savings Melted Quickly
A somber ending to a gala
weekend sent Mayme to the
hospital suffering two broken
arms and a badly crushed leg,
which is still confined in a
cast, when the automobile in
which she was making the re-
turn trip met with an acct
dent.
In her fight back to recov-
cry, our plucky sister Polich
is facing still another prob
lem. The long months of con-
valescence are expensive mas
much as her complete disabi-
lity prevents her from en-
ployment of any sort.
Savings dwindled away in
short order and she cannot
look to her former employers
for any compensation returns
whatsoever.
Meeting the situation as
true fraternalists, our mem
bers decided to take matters
into their hands and sponsor
a benefit card party. They
are fully confident that the
people of Chicago will extend
their wonderful magnanimous
gestures in making the event
a huge fraternal success.
Come Out And Have Fun
Tickets for the event are

cruiter by a wide margin in
his drive to emerge as the
Campaigns first Honorary
Delegate to the Croatian Fra
ternal Unions 9th Quadren-
NAL Convention at Philadel-
phia in September, 1855.
Topping the Canadian cam
paigners, and finishing second
only to bro. Balich as of Au-
gust 81, was Mary Burma,
Secretary of Vancouver, Bri-
fish Columbia, Lodge 1877.
In third place was Joseph

President of Des Moines,
Iowa, Lodge 872, and in fifth
Michael Batch, Secretary of
Johnstown, Pa, Lodge 5.
So much for the Campaign
up to August 81, the Points
story of which is told else
where in this issue of the Ia
iednicar for the edification of
all Field Workers.
He Doesn't Fool Around
The September phase of
the drive, which is to close
November 30, 1854, was
opened, to put it mildly, with
a bang by Juraj Boljkovac,
tary of Schumacher,
Ont, Canada, Lodge $50.
Evidently convinced that in
numbers there is strength,
bro. Boljkovac damned the
mails with applications which
netted him $50 Points at one
fell swoop and another 81
Points which were tied up in
applications still awaiting the
proper approval.
The applications which
passed the desk of Medical
Examiner DR.. Francis ]. Arch
called for $12,5OO.0O in the
way of insurance and boosted
bro. Boljkovac's Points far
beyond the 375 degree mark.
It was quite a September
start for bro. Boljkovac, one
which gave off every sign
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-09-08

that he is out to pass every
one for the Campaign lead in
the Dominion of Canada.
Where There's Life -.
While all this was pleasing,
to say the least, the fact still
remained that the Campaign
was not running anywhere
near the recruiting time table
set months ago.
A check made August 81
revealed that the Campaign
had brought in 1,766 juvenile
and 1909 adult members to
account for 2,975 new ap-
plicants since the drive began.
The same check barred a total
of $2,494, 500 insurance &C.
counted for by both depart
ments over the same recruit
ing period.
This, admittedly, Is q far
cry from the two-fold Cam
paign Goal: 5000 new men,
bers, So millions in new and
increased insurance.
A born optimist, we still
like to think, to hope, that
both ends of the Campaign
Goal will somehow be met be-
fore November 80 of this
year. That may be asking for
the moon at this late stage
of the drive, but it can be
done if everyone will pitch in.

Noon. So grandiose is the
program in store that the
Committee feels s%upremely
confident all records for at
tendance will be broken be-
fore the great day draws to
a close.
The writer, President of
the Committee, will open the
commemorative program
with greetings and then
serve as Master of Ceremo-
MES the rest of the fete.
Scheduled to address the
ceIebrants are Philip Yakir,

Society's High Trial Board,
and John Narancich, also of
this city, who is the able Sec
rotary of Lodge so and an
nually one of the Croatian
Fraternal Unions foremost
Membership Campaign Field
Workers.
Both speakers are thor
oughly acquainted with the
Society and are in the envi-
able position of briefing their
listeners on it's unquestioned
fraternal greatness.
Two Outstanding Groups
The program will also fea-
ture others who will star in
their own right.
Among these are the wi
Ia" Singing Society, under the
capable direction of John Lu-
sicic, and the st. Louis .KOlo
Group. Both groups will be
attired, in national costume
and thrill you with the songs
-
and dances which have made
our people world renowned.
/ For your added pleasure,
the ever popular "Blue Dan
ube" Tamburitzans will hold
sway for dancing in the eve
ming or, if you prefer, for just
plain listening delight.
In all sincerity, this repre-
sents the finest array of tai
ent we have ever had the pri-
vilege of putting together and
offering for the pleasure of
all local and district men,

Board Member On Beam
This is the month in which
the Society was founded ex-
actly 60 years ago and most
assuredly we can all be proud
of it's work to this point. Sep
TENDER LIST of 1854 can well
be the marker at which his
tory will record the beginning
of another golden era of
progress.
The Gus Supreme Board
of Trustees began it's semi
annual meetings today and
one Of the first to greet us in
our office and extend his
hand in a fraternal clasp was
bro. Nikola Borich.
Bro. Borich, member of the
Supreme Board and long time
Secretary of our Luzerne, Pa,
Lodge Is, has been one of the
Society's perennial recruiters.
Happy as we were to greet
bro. Borich, we were even
more happy when after ex-
changing the usual pleasant
tries he presented us with 8
new applications totaling no
less than 81 points.
Our Nikola thus brings his
total of points to an even 100,
which elevates him into the
first 20 bracket. He does this
in a relatively small town
where the preponderance of
our people are employed in
coal mines. That industry is
one of those most heavily hit
by the backsliding economic
situation and consequently
presents almost unsurmount-
able odds in the quest for
new members.
Leaders Given Warning
We received II other appli-
cations today from across the
country and Canada and wish
to tender verbal orchids to
their proposers as we'll.
