In bygone years, Johns
father served in many Off

while his mother was a very
active member of long stand

We heartily welcome this

that he will follow in the
footsteps of his parents, CIV

been ours from the Anich

Spring Dance, to be staged in
extravaganza fashion on Sat-
urday, May Is, at the Mace

For this very special occa-
sion we are featuring the pop
ular Joe Loncarich Tamburit-

These boys are well versed in
the tastes of our jive bugs

on down and try them out for
shuffling pleasure.
Of course, the usual fine
assortment of refreshments
and tasty beverages will be
the order of the day as is
always the case at any of our
socials.
Although the admission fee
for the ladies and gents is
one dollar per person, young
sters under the age of sixteer
who are accompanied by then
parents will be admitted free

lie to the average family fol-
the sum of two dollars, which
we think is fair enough.
Under the circumstances
we wouldn't advise your miss

Pa, Tom began his current
career in the Merchandising
Department Of this firm, do
ing display work in Erie, Pa.
Probably the fact that he
didn't wait for the statesmen
to make his contacts but went
right ahead and made his
own, led his superiors to be-
lieve that Tom would succeed
in the selling field.
For his diligent efforts,
bro. Cubelic was promoted to
Sales in August, 1858, and
consequently ira n S f e r r e d
back to Lawrenceville where
he was born and raised.
Another member of Toms
family who is widely known
is his brother, Charles, the as

they throw the blame for the
delay on everything and any
thing but above all, their af-
filiation with an organization
which has incorporated into
it's charter from the day of
it's founding 60 years ago to
the present time, the purpose
that "it educates its members
in their duties as citizens with
our English speaking peoples,
and also educates them in the
Importance and duty of OBJ
tanning their citizenship pa
pers in accordance with the
laws of the United States"
Suitable books have been
printed under the guiding
hand of the Society's various
Boards, for the instruction
and education of our people
on how to obtain American
citizenship. Our Society was
liberal with it's instruction
and education but it's voice
fell on deaf ears in many ca
ses. For their indifference
and apathy of long standing,
they now blame the Society,
something which is dishonest
and not in the spirit of broth
erhood for which our organi-
zation stands.
Remember this brothers

Reference is made to your letter of February 10,

Croatian Fraternal Union of America.
No finding has been made by this Service that
the Croatian Fraternal Union within the pro-
scripton of the immigration and Nationality Act of
1852. However, you aware, that Act requires
personal investigation with regard to the activities
of al aliens applying for citizenship to determine their
eligibility for naturalization whether not they may
happen to be members of any organization Since
of these Investigations take considerable period of
tme delays to be expected in certain individual
cases.

from various sections Of the
country, complaining tn a t
some of our members are en-
countering difficulties in OBJ
tanning naturalization papers
simply because they are affi-
lated with the Croatian Fra
ternal Union.
Articles have appeared in
our official organ many times
in the past, pertaining to this
subject, documents were pro-
duced to confirm our allega-
tions that such statements
are groundless and false, but
all this to no avail. It seems
to us that certain people de-
light in spreading these un-
truths about our Society.
From the time that the new
law concerning immigrants
has come into being, new reg
ulations regarding the pro-
curement of naturalization
papers have likewise sprung
up, laws which are more RI
gid and make it more difficult
for our people when they seek
to apply for these papers.
Previously, a man needed
only to apply for his second
papers and within a few
months he was called to bring
his witness and come in fol-
questioning. These questions
were usually simple and many
applicants had no difficulty
in memorizing the answers.
For example, questions
such as what form Of govern
ment do we have in America
who makes our laws, who
makes the changes in these
laws, how many colors are
there in the American flag
what is the significance Of
the thirteen stripes and thu
forty-eight stars, etc., wer'
asked.
Today, this has all beer
changed. Occasionally it takes
a year or more after the ap
plication for naturalization
has been filed, before the ap
plicant is called for question
ing. Therein the applicant i
asked to take an oath an
answer a hundred question
regarding his actions from
the time of his arrival her
in America to the present day
Then the investigation begin
to ferret out if all that tn
applicant has said is true, an
this, again, consumes muc.
time which before was unne
cessary. All this is accordin
to our new laws and accord
ing to the spirit of our pre-
sent conditions in the country
Now the authorities wan
to know where the applican
resided during his entire lif
here in the United States, VIII
he associated with, with wha
organizations he has been al
filiated. The majority of thes
applicants for naturalizatio
papers are old timers who NJ
elected to fortify themselve
with these papers when the
should have and when it wa
a simple task to obtain then
Now the authorities want t
know the reasons why thes
people waited thirty or fort
years to seek citizenship.
It is easy to see that tn
Investigations today consum
more time than in the pas
but some Of our people refus
