Why Keep 1t A Secret?
The Society's 1854 Divi-

those phases - and they are
legion - which similar organ

our case, Annual Dividend

them.

ing of the great Croatian

made plans to stage a gigan-
tic joint celebration on Sun

Sparked by "St. Anthony"
CFU Lodge 948, the idea i'm
mediately received enthusi-
astic response from the other
Lodges. Participating Lodges
set about to select their ablest
members to serve as Commit
teemen and the first meeting
displayed a heart-warming
willingness on the part of
these members to work to-
gether in the true spirit of
brotherhood.
Subsequent meetings pro-
duced an even more pro-
nounced intensification of ef-
fort and there is very indica-
ton that the CF'U members
and guests can look forward
to a memorable day.
For the united effort the
Lodges have assumed the
name OF "The United Lodges
of South Chicago" This
group is composed Of repre-
sentatives of Lodges 9, II,
80, 200, 118, 229, 275, 440,
and 948.
The very able Executive
Committee is led by bro.
Steve Zelenika as President,
and serving with him are Mi
chael Nosich, Secretary, John
Krilich, Vice-President, and
Steve Matalin, Treasurer.

While the program details
are incomplete at this early
date, it can be reported that
arrangements are being made
to present a showing of the
popular film, "This Is Your
Croatian Fraternal Union"
Many of our members and
friends have heard about the
film but have not, as yet, had
the pleasure of viewing it.
They may avail themselves
of this pleasure and many
others by reserving Septem-
ber 5th for this occasion.
Our honored guest and
speaker representing the Gro
attain Fraternal Union on
this auspicious occasion will
be bro. V. I. Mandich, Su-
preme President, who will de-
liver an appropriate address.
A Souvenir Book has been
planned and we ask for your
assistance in making it a sue
cess. Anyone desiring space
in the book may contact any
member of the United LODI
ges Committee.
For a day of pleasure, good
fellowship and just plain fun,
all that is necessary is your
presence and the modest 81
admission fee.
Though our enthusiasm is
high and we could continue at
great lengths, we realize that
the ~" does not have unli-
mited space. We conclude,
therefore, with this sugges-,
ton: - Look for further de-
tails on this event in future
issues! e.

Conway Sportsmen Set
For Outing On Sunday

Conway, Pa. - The men,
bers and friends of c. F. U.
Lodge $40 demiciled in Con-
way will make merry Sunday,
July 18th, at a picnic to be
held in Crows Run, located
off Route SO between Conway
and Freedom.
This social event is spon-
sored by the Lodge $40
Sports Committee and is in
tended to keep hot the fires
of enthusiasm which have
seen this Lodge and it's Nest
and a major part of Conway's
populace dip into basketball,
bowling and inter-city frater-
nal visits.
Given but a fair break from
the weather department we
are looking forward to see-
ing contingents at this outing,
July 18th, from the neighbor-
ing Beaver County Lodges,
and perhaps beyond that.
Music for the dance lovers
that day will be furnished by
the inimitable Biser Tambur-
itza Orchestra. Picnicking
will begin in the early after
noon and the patrons will be
served hot barbecued lamb
beginning at 800 Pm.
The usual variety of cool
refreshments, too, will be a.
vailable throughout the day
and evening. If you are look
ing for a crowd and a place to
meet friends and acquaintan-

enrolled in the CFU Junior
Order. 1 would like to see
them join Nest 55, of course,
but as a strong supporter of
the CFU., it would not make
any difference to me if they
joined any one Of the many
fine nests which we have here
in Cleveland. The important
thing is that the children be-
come members regardless of
which nest they join.
In closing I would like to
add, that the CF'U Junior Or
der has more than lived up to
the hopes and promises that
were expressed back in 1915
when it was organized. And
in the years ahead, the Junior
Order will continue to be an
important factor in the fu-
ture growth and progress of
our organization.
If there are any of our lis
teners this morning who have
children who are eligible for
membership in the CFU and
would like to know more a.
bout the organization, I would
certainly be happy to talk to
them about some insurance
for their children. And I
would like to enroll them in
the CFU during the member
ship campaign which is now
in progress and which is be-
ing sponsored in honor of the
Goth Anniversary.
If you are interested you
can get in touch with me
through Mr.. Birek, or you
can come down to- the Gro
atian Home on evenings
and we can discuss your pro-
blem there.
Again, Mr.. Birek, I want
to thank you for giving me
this time on your program so
that I could tell the people
something about the C.F.U.
Junior Order Department.
You have been very gener-
Gus with your time, and !
certainly believe that it will
be of benefit to the Croatian
Fraternal Union.

outing should be a dandy. If
company arrives, bring them
along, the more the merrier.
Our festivities are sched-
uled to last as long as you
do, so We'll be looking for you
next Sunday, July 18th. Ev-
eryone is cordially invited to
come out.

Paw Paw, Mich. - Bro.
George Barkovich, who re-
Gently transferred from Jun
ior, Nest 321 to the ranks of
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-07-07

ABOUT 10 cents per month.
The protection under this
plan ranges in amounts up to
$500 depending upon the age
Of the child. And then to
make the cost of insurance
still lower, the CF'U gives the
child a transfer credit when
transfer is made to the lodge.
Another form of insurance
that is popular for children
is the Endowment Plan which
is a savings plan and can be
used to put money aside for
your child's education. The
rates for this type of insur-
ance are lower on the aver
age, than are rates for the
same type of insurance in ma
ny other companies.
The CFU issues also, a 20
Payment Life plan for chill
dren, and this, too, is offered
at very attractive rates.
So, you can see that it is
possible to get any of the ba-
sic insurance types for chill
dren through the CFU.
But in addition to the In
surance which the CF'U Of
fers for children, it provides
also, other features of inter-
est. For example, l can men,
ton the Magazine which is
printed for children and
which contains material of in
terest and one of the MIC
est ventures is the Summer
Camp which the CFU main
tains at it's Children's Home
in Des PLANES. All members
of the Junior Order are eligi-
BILE to attend this summer
camp which is under the SUI
,pervision of leaders that are
trained in recreational pro-
grams. All of these activities
are promoted with one pur-
pose in mind and that is to
keep alive an interest in the
CFU among the children.
A few moments ago, men-
toned that the Junior Order
was organized back in 1915,
but I didn't tell you that the
Jr. Department was born
right here in Cleveland. 1t
was actually established in
the auditorium of St. Paul's
Croatian Catholic Churc h
down on E. 10th street. The
18th Convention of the Ma
tional Croatian Society was
held there in 1915 and the
resolution establishing tn e
Junior Department was a.
dopted at that Convention.
Among the first nests to be
organized was Nest IS here
in Cleveland. 1 am proud to
add that Nest IS, of which I
am the Manager, has always
been one of the strongest and
most active nests, in the Jun
ior Order. For many years it
was the largest nest in the
CFU and it is still numbered
among the 5 largest in the
Junior Order today.
Our Nest SIS is certainly the
most active nest in the CFU.
We have regular meetings of
the Nest each month, and in
addition we try to sponsor
activities which will be of in
terest to the children. During
the past few seasons we have
had a Bowling league of our
own and we were all quite
proud of the record estab-
lished by Nest 55 bowlers at
the recently held CFU Ten
Pin tournament in Detroit
Our teams won the National
CFU Junior Bowling Champ
ionship and they actually
took first place in all the
events. They brought home
with them all of the trophies
which were offered in the
Junior Division. It is the first
time that any Junior team
made a clean sweep of all
events. We can have more of
these activities if the children
u,onf {horo
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1954-07-07

our society than through
your Radio program ;. and
I hope that I will be able to
add something of interest in
the way of information about
the CFU and it's Junior De-
partment.
During the past few weeks
you have had several guest
speakers on your program,
who have told your listeners
that the CFU will celebrate
it's 60th Anniversary this
year, so I am not going to
take up any more time in dis
cussing that subject. And
then, too, I would like to
mention, that our Fraternal
Day celebration this year will
be dedicated also to the Goth
Anniversary Of the CFU. Fra
ternal Day will be held on the
grounds of the Croatian
Home on Sunday, August Is.
And now to tell you some
thing about the CFU Junior
Order, a subject which is ve-
ry near and dear to me.
All members of the CFU
are rightfully proud today,
because of the progress which
the CFU has made in the
past few years. We are proud
too, of its strength and Of
its standing among the lar
gest fraternal societies of the
United States.
But in our admiration for
the organization and it's posi-
ton, we must not lose sight
Of the fact that one of the
most important reasons for
the growth and strength of
the CFTU today is it's Junior
Order Department. I could go
even further and say - that
if there had not been a CFU
Junior Order, there probably
would not have been very
much of an organization left
today. At least, we can be
sure that it would not have
reached a membership of over
100000 in the last few years.
Ever since the Junior De-
partment was organized back
in 1915, there have been
thousands of boys and girls
who have transferred from
the Junior Order to the Sem
ior Order, and without this
constant and never-failing
source of new members, it is
not hard to figure out what
might have happened to the
C.F.U. without a department
for children.
That is one reason why the
CFU must have a strong and
active Juvenile Department.
And another reason why we
must always try to build up
the department is that a
strong Junior Branch makes
it possible to provide our
members with extremely low
cost protection and better
service in many ways.
There are today, more
than 10000 boys and girls
enrolled in the Junior Order
and each of them is a future
member for the adult branch.
We must do all we can to
train and teach them to be-
come active in our organiza-
ton and better citizens Of our
country.
Originally the CFU had on
ly one type of insurance pro-
lection to offer for children,
but in recent years, it has
added several new and attrac-
tive plans so that you can get
just about any type of insur-
ance that you need and want
for your children through the
Junior Department Of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
The most popular type of
insurance available for chill
dren through the CFU is the
so-called 1T ERM INSUR-
ANCE" certificate. This in
surance costs just Is cents
