much recognition to the Kolo

date all activities have been
centered around the Western
Pennsylvania area.
We have two Cleveland

Republic Manager Has
Time With De|inquenfs

Republic, Pa. - With this
article we, as Manager of Jun
ior Nest 189, would like to
a d m o n i S h our delinquent
members and, at the same
time, impart some news of
our social doings in our
locality.
First Of all, as Nest Mana
ger l have sent out cards,
letters and called personally
on the telephone, the parents
of the Nest affiliates regard
ing back dues but so far, have
received no response.
Now I am compelled to sus-
pend these youngsters, much
against my judgment or in
clination. But, our Society
does not require it's Managers
to take up a door to door col
lection of dues, and it is the
duty of the parents to see
that their children's dues are
paid up.
The paltry sum of twenty
five cents a month which we
collect from our members
seems so small yet it is like
pulling teeth to obtain these
dues from the members. Some
are in arrears for as long as
six months and we have no
alternative but to suspend
them.
If each member should be
in debt to the Nest for such a
length of time, where would
we obtain the necessary funds
which must be mailed to the
Home Office? Please, parents,
pay up your child's dues and
if such is the case, be rein
stated as soon as possible.
Now to get on to other
things, the members of Lodge
528 are planning to observe
their 10th Anniversary on
June 13, at the Croatian Hall.
There will be hot barbecued
lamb and pork, music and
what have you. All this plus
a $4,000 U. S. Savings Bond
to be ratified off.
If you wish to obtain tic
kets, you may do so by con-
tacting Mrs. Mary Depcrym-
ski or any other Lodge Off
GER. We invite all members of
other Lodges and organiza-
tions in the area to join us
for this big event.
AS an example, of what our
great organization can mean
to our families we would like
to point out that yours truly
has two children, Ellen Jean
and John Joseph, both men,
bers of Lodge 528. They may
be remembered for their par
ticipation in the CFU 5Oth
Anniversary celebration a t
the Syria Mosque. Mr.. and
Mrs, Depcrymski are also
proud grandparents of two
grandsons, Bernard Jack and
Gregory. Daughter Ellen is
now Mrs. Bernard Coletto,

and>John is a student of Elec-
trical Engineering at the
University of Pittsburgh.
Yes, we are a CFU family
and proud of it. We hope that
the parents of our Nest 189
youngsters will take a more
active interest, pay their dues
regularly, and educate their
children in the ways of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
