Trojans To Talk
Anniversary Shop

S. S. Pittsburgh, Pa. - 1t
certainly would be grand to
see some familiar faces again
at the annual meeting of
"Trojans" ES Lodge 76, sche-
duled for Friday, December
10, at 800 PM, at the Gro
atian Home, located on 9th
Street in South Side.
So far as the "Trojans'
are concerned, the year 1855
should be an active one, one
in which we revive the flam-
ing spirit which resulted in
our organization twenty-five
years ago.
We've fired the opening
gun on our intentions to stage
a huge celebration in honor
of our Silver Anniversary
next year. Now, how's about
coming to the meeting and
throwing in some ideas on the
subject next Friday?
Need we remind our good
members that this is also the
session wherein we select our
officers for the coming year? ?
Come down to the meeting
and get into the limelight; we
might find in you excellent
officer material.
Don't be content to be
merely a statistic at the CF'U
Home Office. Instead, take to
heart your fraternal duties as
an affiliate of a great organ
ization and attend your next
Lodge meeting.

Social Will Round Out
Cleveland Lodge Confab

Cleveland, Ohio - The reg
ular monthly and yearly
meetings of CFU Lodge 403
are scheduled for Sunday,
December IL, at 1 PM sharp,
at the Polish Falcons Hall,
7146 Broadway.
Brothers and sisters, at
this session we have many
important issues to discuss
and decisions to make per-
tanning to the course which
our Lodge will take during
the coming year.
Our Lodge-sponsored So
cial events this year were as
scarce as the proverbial hens
teeth but we have every in
tention of remedying this con-
dition in the next year, by
staging picnics, dances or
perhaps a banquet or two.
Then too, we must observe
our 46th Anniversary in some
auspicious manner.
Following the regular order
of business we will have our
election of officers and then
all set down to the task of
enjoying a delightful social
which will be prepared for all
members in attendance.
We'd like to remind our af-
filiates that our next month
ly meeting which would usu-
ally be held on January 9,
1855, has been postponed un-
til January 18th in order that
our members might attend
the gigantic Croatian Radio
Hour Concert and Dance
scheduled for January 9th.

installation of officers for the
coming year, the assembly
was brought to a close with
the singing of God Be With
You Till We Meet Again"
| What Is Fraternalism?
AS I now reminisce upon
the sessions of this Congress,
I recall the emphasis placed
upon YOUTH - ways and
means to enroll youth, how
to keep them within the
ranks, how to make fraterna-
lists and good citizens of
them.
This, of course, has been
uppermost in the minds of
our own CF'U officials, but it
is worth noting that other So
cieties are also endeavoring to
inaugurate plans which will
be attractive to their youth.
Also brought forth was
the fact that our commune
ties are neither aware nor
appreciative of the efforts
made by the fraternalists
to help prevent juvenile
delinquency.
This of course is partly due
to the fact that fraternalism
is not sufficiently advertised.
Fraternal societies as a gen.
eral rule do their good deeds
with little or no fanfare.
After the assembly was
brought to a close, I stepped
into the elevator whereupon
the elevator man asked me i:
MA am, what is fraternal-
ISM" And that, sisters and
brothers, is a very good ques-
ton; one which should be ex-
pounded upon to great extent,
as many people whom we
meet in every day contact
do not know what fraternal-
ism means.

members of "Sveto Trojstvo"
CFU Lodge 357 to the effect
that the regular and annual
meetings of the Lodge have
been scheduled for Tuesday,
December 18th, at 1880 PM.
We urge our affiliates to

tive interest in Lodge affairs
next year and to attend it's
meetings regularly.

Struthcrs, Ohio T h e
yearly meeting of "St. Jo-
seph" Lodge 504 will take
place Sunday, December II,
at the Lodge Home between
the hours of 100 and 500
PM.
Work or sickness will be
the only good excuses for alb
sence from this most impor-
tant of all meetings held dur
ing the year. Surely no men,
ber interested in the Lodge
and the Croatian Fraternal
Union will want to absent
himself or herself December
IL.
Delicious refreshments will
be served Immediately follow
ing the meeting. Come down
to the Home on Sunday and
enjoy yourself in the compa-
ny of your fellow members.
Sisters and brothers, we
proved at our 41st Anniver-
sary Banquet and Program
held October 80 what can be
done when we work together
in the spirit of unity. That
was a great day in our his
tory, SO let us endeavor to
carry on in like spirit during
1866.

Has Fine Record
Cokeburg, Pa. - All men,
bers of "St. George" C.F.U.
Lodge 354 are urged to at
tend their regular monthly
and annual meetings which
will be held Sunday, Decem-
ber IL, at 100 PM in the
Croatian Home on Victor st.
AS usual the annual meet
ing will be held right after
the regular meeting is ad-
journed and the highlights of
the meeting will be the elec-
ton of officers for both the
Lodge and the Club for the
new year. Also the annual re-
ports of all the Lodge Off
cials and our Club Secretary
will be on the order of busi-
ness for this, our last meet
ing of 1864.
At our yearly meetings we
charter the course that our
Lodge will follow during the
coming year, SO it is very i'm
portant that all our members
are present. This year we
start our fraternal work in
perfect condition; our Lodge
Home is paid for, all our
treasures show a marked
profit for the year we are
leaving behind, and our
Lodge Home is in the process
of being remodeled. All this
can be better understood by
attending our yearly meeting.
At this meeting we would
like to bring the Lodge Ad-
dress Book up to date. Many
of our members have new
addresses but did not report
the changes to the Secretary.
Most important of all we
need the Box Numbers of the
members living right in Coke
burg. All this information is
very valuable to the Lodge
Secretary when he has to
send cards and notices to our
members.
At present we are proud
to say that none of our men,
bers are behind in payment
of their dues, but we do urge
you to keep this up and we
hope to close our Lodge books
December 18th for the year
1854 with no balance being
carried forward into the new
year.
There are still a very few
Croats in Cokeburg who do
not belong to our Lodge or
Nest, and with a bit of ef-
fort there is no reason why
these eligibles can not be
shown the worth of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union and
enrolled as our fellow men,
bers.
In conclusion there are still
a few of our members who
have liens against their GER
tificates, and as we have been
advising in the past, again we
wish these members would
consider this carefully: =
Why keep paying interest on
interest if you are in a posi-
ton to settle such an obi
cation?
Remember Sunday, Decem-
Der 18th, attend your regular
and annual meetings!

first session was held IN lS9
Mabelle Lindenmeyer, o:
of Foresters, presided throue
with the exception of the
Field Section which was deft'
ly arranged and presided over
by Clem E. Smith, the newly
elected President for the year
of 1855.
The Field Section this year
was particularly interesting
due to the fact that a variety
of subjects were introduced
and then all participated in q
panel discussion, giving ar
opportunity to those present
to ask questions and receive
answers either from t h
speakers or from other dele
gates.
Six subjects were pre-
sented as follows: "Why
Women Buy Fraternal In
surance," youth Building
for the Future" "Social
Security and Life Insur-
ance," "What I Expect
from My Manager and
Home Office, 'ImDor-
tance of Keeping Records"
and "Work Habits"
In view of the fact that
there were six topics, all very
interesting and constructive
it is impossible to review
them in this brief report
However, this departure from
past set routine was very en-
Enthusiastically received. and il
was decided that next years
session would follow along
the same pattern, that is, a
panel discussion will take
place.
Dancers Thrill Throng
Another deviation this yea,
was the colorful and inspir.
ing drill team from the Cze'

Chicago, Illinois.
Their performance was
beautifully executed, draw
ing numerous bursts OF
spontaneous applause. Dur
ing the dancing program.
this group attired in their
red. white and blue uni
forms, danced the polka
European style, and in this
number they were joined
by yours truly and a rep

Roman Catholic Society.
The Polish Hop seemed
to be a unique and unusua.
sight in this Hoosier Capital
which is the reason I mention
this incident. However. we ol
the Slav descent were prouc
of our agility and accepted
the ensuing tribute with mod

The presentations OF oul

received with such exhilira

them.
