CroafiaE, Shows
Widely Followed
Programs Aired
Daily And Sunday

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The Gro
attain Memories Program,
heard daily and Sundays over
Radio Station WHO'D, Home
stead, Pa, recently observed
its sixth anniversary.
Under the capable direction
Of bros. Mark Vinsl5i, Etna,
former official of the Croa-
tan Fraternal Union, Mich
olas Trdina and Lawrence
Vinski, this show has brought
enjoyment to thousands of
listeners in Western Pennsyl-
vania and centers as far as
Ohio.
The show is heard daily
from $50 to 600 PM and
Sundays from 1900 Noon to
1890 PM. Station WHO'D
may be found at $50 Kilo-
cycles by those interested in
good music, songs and timely
announcements.
Bro. Vinski's program is
the successor to the "Croa-
tian Radio Hour" shows in
augurated back in 1886 by
the late bro, M. J.. Horvath,
the first English Section Edi-
tor of the Zajednicar. Bro.
Horvath's progra m were
heard in those days over
Pittsburgh's Station WWSW
and earned for him a wide
following Of warm friends and
staunch supporters.
One of the several Croat
radio shows now aired in the
Pittsburgh Area, bro. Vim
skis "Croatian Memories"
Program has been just as
avidly supported during it's
association with Homestead
Station WHO'D and bids fair
to remain a fixture for years
to come.
Long a loyal supporter of
the Society, bro. Vinski sell
dom fails to plug the Gro
atian Fraternal Union during
his broadcasts. We wish him
continued success.

Russia Aims To
Trade With Tito

Washington, d. C. - Ameri.
can diplomatic circles last week
received with considerable in
terest the report out of Bel
grade, Yugoslavia, that Yugo-
slavia and Russia have begun
talks toward resuming trade
relations in the near future.
Trade relations between the
two countries were broken off
six years ago when Yugoslav
President Josip Broz, or Tito,
was read out of the Comm
form by Russia. While tension
between the "feuding pair"
ran high at times during that
six-year tiff, it now begins to
appear that both sides are will
ing to agree trade-wise, If
nothing else.
Be that as it may, a seven
man delegation from Moscow
arrived in Belgrade last week
to talk trade with the Yugoslav
leaders and bring about an
agreement, if possible, on
economic exchanges.
1t will be interesting to note
the final outcome of these
talks, especially in view of the
fact that there is no sign on
the horizon, as yet, that Tito
will be forgiven by the Comm
form and asked to rejoin the
old club as a member in good
standing. But, then, anything
can happen in politics.

Defendants Have
Right To Counsel
(September 7th EditoriaD

Is the defense attorney for
an accused murderer himself
subject to suspicion of homi-
cidal inclinations? Judging by
the public attitude toward some
lawyers for unpopular defend
ants, the counsel acquires his
clients coloration.
The Allegheny County Bar
Association was upholding one
Of the finest traditions of the
legal profession last week when
it adopted resolution aimed
at offsetting what it referred
to as the public's tendency to
link the lawyer with his clients
reputation in cases of unpopu-
lar crimes, particularly cases
of Comroxnists or alleged Com
munists. II endorsed a declara-
ton of the American Bar AS
sociation, which said in part:
"The association reaffirms
the principles that the right of
defendants to the benefit of :.
counsel and the duty of the
bar to provide such aid even to
the most unpopular defendants,
involves public acceptance of
the correlative right of a law
yer to represent and defend :.
any client without being penal
lied by having imputed to him
his clients reputation, views
or character"
In promising to support any
lawyer against criticism or at
tack when he has behaved in
accordance with the standards
of the bar, the local group was
defending a principle that goes
back to the infancy of the ma
ton. John Adams, the second
President of the United States,
was living up to this principle
when as young man in ITO
he braved the sneers of an en-
ragged community by defending
the British soldiers who were
arrested after the Boston Mas
sacre and charged with caus-
ing the death of four persons.
Edmund Randolph, a men,
ber of the constitutional con-
vention and subsequently Pres
ident Washington's Attorney
General, was upholding the
same principle nearly 40 years
later when he represented
Aaron Burr as senior counsel
during Burr's trial for treason.
If lawyers defended only
those who have the goodwill
and appreciation of their fellow
citizens, the rights which were
written into the Constitution
for all citizens would not pre-
vail for long.

New Federation?

CEW. if any, centers of similar size can
outrank Beaver County, Pa in the mat
ter of housing more Lodges and Nests Of
the Croatian Fraternal Union
Here in Beaver County where ground
was broken Labor Day, September 6, at
the hamlet of Shippingport for the worlds
first atomic plant for electrical power, are
domiciled Is Lodges and IA Nests of the
Society boasting of 4,24O members in all.
Born, raised and educated in this indus
trialized area, and still resident Of it, we
are naturally interested in seeing Beaver
County become a greater, more influential
factor in the Croatian Fraternal Union
through the medium of a Federation of
Lodges and Nests which would function Tor
the common welfare Of its membership.
With this in mind, we recommended the
organizatio of such Federation in
speech delivered August 20 at the Aliquip-
pa Lodge 423 outing staged in honor of the
Societys 6Oth Anniversary.

The recommendation was not made in

working tools it needs to make the proposed
Federation a powerful instrument.

The travelling distance between Lodges
in opposite ends Of Beaver County is mat
ter of very few miles. There is no such
thing as wide open spaces to make oper-
alton of the proposed Federation impossi-
BILE on Countrywide basis.
In fact, there is no good reason why
such Federation cannot become reality

over by some of the Croatian Fraternal
Unions most active and productive Lodge
and Nest leaders in Beaver County.

How to bring about a meeting of these
Lodge and Nest officials for the purpose of
discussing, and subsequently organizing,
the proposed Federation?
Since the idea was born in our mind it
is obvious that the first move in that direc-
ton will have to be made by us if it is to
get beyond the stage Of idle talk.
That being the case, we will shortly
sound meeting call for the purpose via
letters to every Lodge and Nest leader in
Beaver County = but only after we have
first consulted with at least several of these
leaders regarding the most opportune date
for holding the rally.

our sake, but for their own future good.

Early in 1852 it was decided to
include lectures, for the third
medical year at Toronto. deal
ing with the social aspects of
medical practice. A group of
selected students were provided
with an opportunity to study the
medical and social problems of
q family. The general objective
was to make the students aware
of how patients personal lives
and domestic problems affect
Illness and how illness may give
rise to family difficulties. Anoth-
er aim was to make the stu
dent aware of home conditions
of hospital patients and let him
know what community resources
are available to assist such fam
lilies. 1t was hoped. in this way,
to achieve close cooperation be-
tween the social service depart
ment and future internS and
physicians.
Fifteen students were selected
to take the course of lectures &C
cording to their academic stand
ing and their interest in social
medicine. They were selected.

During the first period it was
decided that the student should
