In Poor Taste

A MERlCANS have been reading SO much
of late about the growing menace of
juvenile delinquency that they are Begin
ming to believe the younger generation is,
pardon, going plumb to hell.
And yet the same zealots who are cru
sading to put Americas youth back on the
track of Righteousness say nothing about
the adult delnquents who wash their dirty
linen in public when entering into divorce
proceedings. Are these pillars of society,"
who feed scandalous accusations against
one another to newspapers, a lesser Amer
ican evil than youngster led astray in
moment of understandable weakness?
What is Christian = what is decent =
about prominent people engaging in acts of
infidelity and boasting of them to the
world? Is that the type of educational
material our boys and girls should find in
the columns of their home newspaper?
If we have juvenile delinquency in the
United States, and have it we most certainly
do, the blame must be borne by those who
father it, elders without scruples.

Washington, ID. C

washington, ID. y. - Ihe
big question in this city of
many questions is: - "Has
America entered into a re-
cession? If so, when does
the depression start ?"
Answers to the poser are
a dime a dozen. Speaking
for the Administration,
Treasury Secretary George
M. Humphrey says Ameri-
cas- economy is as strong
as ever in spite of recent
declines, especially in the
steel industry. He sees no
recession.
On the other hand, Sen
ator Paul Douglas, Demo-
crat, Illinois, feels Secreta-
ry Humphrey SHOULD not
pooh pooh" such declines,
but, instead, take a long,
hard look at the facts of
life and admit that the Ma
tons old economic mare
just amt what she used
to be.
In fact, Senator Douglas
was duly quoted last week
as telling H u m p h r e y:
George, I am going to
give you a months SUBJ
scription to the Wall Street
Journal. If you read it, it
will be the best education
you have had in a long
time. I am saying we are in
a recession. And if that be
treason, tn e gentleman
from Ohio may make the
most Of it."
Great place, Washington,
even if they agree to dis
agree among themselves in
the process of debating
matters which are of grave
concern to every American
citizen.

The Zajedniccar

EST we forget, this year marks the 45th
- Anniversary of the Croatian Fraternal
Unions Official Organ.
Almost forty-fivc years have come to
pass since the zaJcdncar first appeared in
weekly formal back in December of 1909
years which have seen the Society rise from
the status of a nonentity to one of ma
tional prominence in it's noble field.
1t would take all of these twelve pages,
and then some, to review the endless scrvi-
ces rendered the Croatian Fraterna Union
and it's membership by the Zajednicar since
its beginnings back in 1909. In fact, it
would take book to properly detail the
value of the Society's Official Organ one
of Americas finest such publications.
For years, the Zajednicar was strictly
Croatanic in makeup and it wasn't until
the late 192O's that an occasional article in
the English language came to rate publica-
ton in its columns. The Societys English
speaking members of those days = dubbed
"keksari' by their elders weren't heard
from too often in that era
Croatian continued to rule supreme in
the ZajedniGar until November 6, 1929,
when the English Section was made an Of
ficial supplement of the publication and
many of those same "keksari" began TAX
ing an active interest in their Society.
Today, the two Sections Of the Official
Organ are equally divided each operating
on a six-page basis, and the usage of the
English language at Lodge meetings. Ex-
ecutive and Supreme Board sessions, Con-
vention proceedings, etc, etc. is as common
as satisfied people are rare.
Our old timers know only too we'll what
the Zajednicar has meant since it made it's
debut as weekly in 1909, and many will
recall the man first entrusted with it's
cditorship the late Don Niko Grskovic.
On the other hand, our younger gentry
should know what the English Section has
meant to them and remember the man un-
der whose strong hand it first began to flou-

Many are the stories as
sociated with the life of
Abraham Lincoln, one of
the best of the lot concern
ing his defense in court of
a man involved in a tavern
brawl.
Lincoln's client was ar
rested after he had whipped
his barroom antagonist and
Honest Abe at first felt
that he would have to ad-
dress the trial jury by
pleading: II base this mans
defense on the plea
that the plaintiff brought

And then a good story
dawned upon Lincoln, the
one he told the jury:

a pitchfork on his shoulder.
A fierce dog ran out from a
farmers yard and attacked
him. The man in parrying
off the brute with the
pitchfork stuck the prongs
into the dog and killed him.
The farmer rushed to the
scene.
What made you kill my
dog?' said the farmer.
4" What made him try to
bite me?' replied the man.
" But why didn't you 60
at him with the other end
of the fork?' the farmer
demanded.
F." why didn't the dog
come at me with his other
end?' answered the man."
The courtroom howled
and Lincoln won the case
with ease.

Since the first of the

thy advocates of all the good that order represents
The Croatan Fraternal Union is, and of right ought
to be, just what its mpies-a fraternity of men
and women, boys and girls, bounded together for
common cause.
For thirty-five years has been faithful servant
to the earthly needs of all those that cared to call
On than occasion the liberal helping hand
Of our Union outstretched to many outside ranks

brotherhood: "a friend in need friend indeed Our

Union has never faltered failed! 1t has proudly
carried forward and practced the ideals and the principles
to which it dedicated when handful of Croaans in
the midst of the Allegheny Mountains laid it's foundations

Today, however, arc rapidly approaching the
threshold of day. The past, with it's abundant
blessings already recorded supplies healthy foundation
for all those that to build upon it. The future
try to picture it, appears to be bright and promising
Recent years have shown the desire of the English
speaking membership to become active in the affairs
of the organization Formation of English Speaking Lodges
within our fold has beyond any reasonable doubt
their faith in the organization and their willingness
coupled with the apparent progressive motives, to
accept the proud heritage and carry on the humantar
work of our order with added zest and vigor.
Our younger boys and girls thirty thousand of them
enrolled in the Junior Order look forward to the time
when they, too will enter the lines of elders and be-

Good Advice

The officers of a lodge
should not, and cannot,
do all the work in a
lodge. All members must
assist, because 10 d g e
work is a cooperative en-
terprise in the truest
sense of the word. But
the officers must be the
ones to plan, and also
through a display of in
terest for the lodge en-
courage and inspire the
members to greater ef-
forts, whether that be to
arrange social activities,
do charitable work, or
secure new members for
the lodge. Such things
are not accomplished by
wishful thinking, and
certainly George" will
not take care of it; but
they can be accomplished
through planning and
with the cooperation of
all the members. The
suggestion is therefore
made that the officers
get together and discuss
plans earlv in the year.
Such action will show
that an early start will
be made, which is much
better than waiting un-
I'll juno o. July.

Since the United States

has made the Coffee Ex-

price rise has also sent
many retail brands of cof-

AND TODAY
By John Badoyinac
president Lodge 663)

Cleveland, Ohio - The
address Of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union Headquarters
is as familiar to the MAORI
ty of the members of the
organization as is their own
home address.
And yet to many members
it is simply a street address
in the city of Pittsburgh,
because the opportunity to
visit the Headquarters is not
given to all our members.
We are going to take you
on an imaginary visit to the
C.F.U. Supreme, Office and
hope you enjoy the trip.
Most of the notes on build
ing design which will be re-
lated here were obtained
from the building architect,
Mr.. Pierre A. Liesch, who
went through his files to
supply us with needed data.
Formal Opening In 1929
The Home Offices or
Headquarters of the C.F.U.
have been located at the
3441 Forbes Street address
since the latter part of the
year 1928. The formal open
ing of the building was held
in January, 1929, with ap-
propriate ceremonies. Prior
to the removal to Forbes
Street, the Home Offices
were located at 1912 Peralta
Street, on Pittsburgh's
North Side.
It was only after the mer-
ger of the National Cro-
atian Society with the Cro-
attain League of Illinois and
the St. Joseph Society, that
discussions began for the
erection of a new and mod
ern office building to take
care of the increased size of
he organization. Ground,
was broken early i'll 1923
and the building was COM
pleted late that year.
French Gothic Styling
The entire front of the
building is carried out in the
Ere n c. h Gothic Cathedral
style of architecture, but it
was interpreted to assume
the municipal or office build
ing function in our case.
Many persons have asked
just why this style of archi-
lecture was employed in the
building of the structure for
the Headquarters of the So
ciety. In reply to this ques-
ton, Mr.. P. A. Liesch in
formed us that prior to the
making up of designs for
the building, he had made a
careful study of various
forms of European architec-
ture, including such exam
piles as are found in Croatia,
but failed to find any which
would truly be representa-
tive of the Croatian people.
Croatia, having been SUBJ
.jected for centuries to the
rule of foreign masters, ma
turally could not express it.
self architecturally in reli-
gion, culture and the fine
arts as did France and Bel
GUM; and for this unfortu-
nate reason the Croatian
country is a mixture of ar
chitecture, truly expressing
the many changing periods
of influence by different
foreign cultures and reli-
gions.
CrOats Roman Catholics
Mr.. Liesch felt that Cro-
alta, being of a continuously
pure Roman Catholic stock
down through the ages,
would have expressed its
faith, ideals and cultural
progress in the style of ar

it had been ruled by it's own

should not be required to stand
trial again unless the appellate
court rules further on issues re-

under certain conditions. 4
Mrs. Keei1ey had been con-
victed Of contempt in. declining
to tell a Senate investigating
committee whether. any one in

helped Ther get the i'm. Job.
The appellate court reversed
the conviction and ordered a
new trial on the grounds that
the jury improperly was allowed
to hear certain testimony.
Later the 4 appellate court
opinion was amended to contain
the sentence: Insofar as the
answer depends on data in the
files Of the United Nations or
upon information derived from
those files. it was privileged by
