ges being beset with a lack
of attendance during the
summer months even more
than at any other time, we
feel that articles by lodge cor
respondents, but who is to
find many more of this van
ishing G. F. U. race, might
provide the necessary compile
ment.
If the average member in
your lodge or mine, success
sively opens the zajednicar to
find nothing from his lodge
much of the inducement to
read further is lost.
We have even toyed with
the idea in our mind of once
monthly taking to one or a.
mother Pittsburgh radio sta
ton more as an innovation
but there is nothing like the
printed article and the Ia jed
nicar to champion the Gro
attain Fraternal Union and
any particular lodge activity.
The printed word unlike the
spoken word over the ether
waves is there awaiting you
whenever you have the con-
venience to rest back and
read. Furthermore it can be
read at another time by ano-
ther Individual.
The question is, neyerthe-
less, who is to take on the
role Of a regular lodge cor
respondent. If you look a
round in the Zajednicar now
and moreso in the past, it was
in most cases the busiest per-
son in your lodge or commu-
nifty. How does she or he do
it? Presumably a declared
"busy-body" who told a white
lie. How else could he or she
have crowded corresponding

Biography

particularly well qualltled TO
write the history of the Gro
attain people, both by reason
of his lifelong interest in the
subject, stemming from his
Croatian birth and back
ground, and his truly i'm
mense scholarship. The vast
source materials for this his
tory are found in sixteen Ian
guages, all of which DR.. Pre-
veden has studied in the orr
ginal text.
Francis r. Preveden was
born on Oct. 5th, 1890, in the
village of Kamenica, located
on the right bank of the CEN
trail Danube. He attended the
local and elementary and Sec
ondary schools of the region,
and later was granted scho-
larships by the Croatian Gov
ernment in Zagreb and by the
University of Budapest which
enabled him to continue his
studies in the Universities of
Budapest, Paris (Sorbone),
New York (Columbia) and
Berlin.
He left Berlin for Petro-
grad in the spring of 1913, in
tending to study at the Uni
versity of Petrograd. Caught
by the outbreak of war in the
summer of 1914, he remained
in Russia until 1919, during
which time he studied from
1915 to 1917 at the Univer-
sity of Moscow. The next
three years he spent in Yu-
goslavia, Italy and France,
before settling in the United
States in 1922. From 1925 to
1927 he studied, under a Eel
lowship, at the University of
Chicago, receiving his docto-
rate there in 1927.
From 1927 to 1882 he par
ticipated actively in the Uni
versity of Chicago project on
the history of ideas, mainly
in the section of Balto-Slavic
languages. From 1926 to 1888
; he taught classics in the Col
; lege and Graduate School of
De Paul University, Chicago.
In 1885 he studied at the Ma
tional University of Mexico,
in the departments of Hispa-
: mic Art and Mexican Archie
ology.
| From 1888 to 1941 he
taught Classics in the College
: and Graduate School of Du-
J quesne U nive e r s ty, Pitts
J burgh. Since 1912 he has been
J employed by the Defense De-
partment of the United States
J Government. In 1858 he was
given an award for having
introduced new and highly
productive methods of tech
: nical translation in the Navy
: Department.
DR.. Preveden is a writer OF
numerous articles in the fields
of education and history. He
is a linguist of exceptional at
tainments, with complete flu
ency in six languages and q
good working knowledge OF
, almost all the ancient anc
, modern languages of the In

NOW, WndL is CnlS LQlnS
This is Gary :. unheard of
so years ago but today the
second city in Indiana A
city of sweat and steel born
amid a babel of more than
half a hundred tongues . :. A
melting pot of races and ma
tionalities A main cross
roads of America.
Few have raved about her
beauty but many have called
her magnificent, for there is
a savage splendor in her
mighty blast and open hearth
furnaces, in her horizon-long
sweep of mills with their up
thrust stacks, in her flame-lit
nights pulsing with the re-
flected fires of hot coke and
steel.
Fabulous Calumet Area
This is Gary, Herculean
hub of northwestern Indiana's
fabulous Calumet region -
70 square miles of concentra-
ted heavy industry marching
along 16 miles of curving
Lake Michigan Shore.
No. One would hesitate to
call her a really pretty town.
But few cities have played a
more important role in the
drama of American progress.
Gary is a lusty symbol of
American enterprise, Amer
lean confidence. For it's whole
area of some AZ square miles
of steel mills, factories, shops
and homes is almost entirely
a creation of the 10th Cen
tury.
Gary is a city with next to
no tradition, almost without
a past; its pioneers were
young engineers, business
and professional men with a
vision Mon-muscled working
men from the four corners of
the earth.
The Beginning Og Gary
Forty-eight years ago, the
Calumet area was an inhospi-
table stretch of sandhills and
sloughs, scrub oak and brack.
ish streams. It's only city was
Hammond, population 10000;
East Chicago and Whiting
were villages; Gary did not
exist. One can scarcely con
ceive of a less likely spot tc
be chosen to build a city.
Yet, chosen it was, because
Judge Elbert H. Gary, boarc
chairman of the u. S. Stee
Corporation, and his col
leagues were men Of vision. Ir
1906 they bought up thou
sands of acres of this waste
land and started to build the
greatest steel plant in the
world.
For they saw what Others
had not recognized: The sitt
was close by Chicago, raj
hub of the continent; severa
trunkline railroads pass e
right through it. 1t was mid
way between Minnesota irol
ore, Michigan limestone ant
West Virginia and Kentuck,
coal. Lake and rails provided
easy access. 1t was, in fact

history. For Gary has long
been recognized as a frontier
of sorts, with a frontiers lack
of inhibitions.
Since World War II, and
d e 8 p lite her preoccupation
with slums, crime and the job
of keeping her school build
ing program abreast Of her
soaring birth rate, Gary has
been tussling with another
problem - that of ridding
herself of the label "one-in-
dustry town" ;"
For years the city named
for Judge Gary was called
"the biggest company town in
the world, and that was both
good and bad. But the more
mature the city became, the
less it liked that label.
U. S. Steel was and is the
community's No. 1 influence,
it's No. 1 employer. Some
$4,000 of it's $4,000 wage
earners work in big Steel's"
five huge Gary subsidiary
plants - U. S. Steeps gargan-
tuan Gary Works, with it's
annual ingot capacity of
100000 net tons; the Gary
Sheet and Tin Mill; the Amer
lean Bridge Works; National
Tube and the Universal Atlas
Cement plant.
Foundation Is Launched
When strikes flared or a
slump in the steel market
forced down the ingot output
gauge, the busiest person in
the city was the Calumet
Township trustee - doing
out poor relief.
Made painfully aware, dur
ing the years of the last great
depression, of the grave ha-
yards inherent in a too great
dependence upon one product
and one company, Gary's civic
leaders eight years ago form
ed the non-profit Gary Indus
trial Foundation, which since
has labored at the task of di-
versifying the city's indus
trial makeup. The first sub
scription to GIF's develop
ment fund was a $4,000
check from U. S. Steel, which
effectively nailed to the wal
for all time the years old ar
gument that "Big Steel does
not want any other industries
in Gary" The Foundation has
enjoyed a steady if unspec'
tacular success, new plants
brought in since it's organiza'
ton including the Budd Co
(auto and truck body parts
employing 1,400; T a ylol
Forge and Pipe (forgings fol
jet aircraft), 500; Vulcan De
timing, go, and a number Of
needlecraft industries, over
300.

a natural site for an industri-
al city. And so, with typical
Yankee brashness, they built
a city there.
Melting Pot Of World
Men and machines moved
in upon the sand dunes. Hill
ocks of sand, built up by the
glaciers were leveled. Streams
were rerouted and 81 miles of
railroad track relocated. The
lake was dredged for a big
industrial harbor and the
spoil used to fill in the
sloughs on the site of the
town. The millsite was raised
Is feet. Two million cubic
yards of concrete were pour
ed.
The steel company plated
and laid out a modern city on
5000 acres of company land
- a city big enough for
100000 people although, of
course, no one then dreamed
that it's population would ever
exceed, say, $4,000. They
, sold lots, paved miles of
streets, laid miles of sewer,
gas and water mains, estab-
lished a park system, began
building schools, C h ur C h e S
and stores.
To this vast beehive of ac-
tivity swarmed workers from
everywhere. Within a year or
so, 40 different tongues were
spoken at the millsite, and
u tt m a t ely 55 nationalities
were represented on the big
Mills" payroll. Round about
the rising pile of the steel
plant there materialized city
of tarpaper shacks, then a
city of brick and stone.
Named "The Magic City"
BY 1910, Gary boasted
10000 inhabitants; by 1920,
over $4,000. 1t began to be
known as "The Magic City"
- a modern miracle. A clan
gorous, smoky tribute to
American imagination, inge-
nuity and Drawn.
With the building of Gary,
the whole Calumet roared to
life. To Hammond came great
printing plants, the huge Le-
yer Brothers soap factory
a large plant of the American
Maize Products Co., many
others. East Chicago bagged
mighty Inland Steel and bur-
geoning Youngstown Sheet
and Tube. Even little Whiting
had it's inning, becoming the
; site of Standard Oils biggest
refinery, as well as the home
of one of Carbide and Carbon
Chemicals largest plants.
Today Gary and her sister
cities of the Calumet - g
heterogeneous mass of huge
plants represents one o1
the worlds greatest concen
trations of heavy industry
The year 1854 found the Cal
umet with a population ap
preaching 100000, with Gary

plant - alone counting ovel
| 15O,774. Six trunkline rail
| roads and five arterial high
| ways serve the area. Three
big industrial harbors handle
over Is million tons of cargo
annually.
Marketwise, it is a big area
too, pouring close to $3.50 mil
lion a year into the channel:
of retail trade. Gary by itsel1
accounts for a monthly indus

Big Steel Did Its Bit


But for all it's years of COM
plete dominance in all things,
Big Steel" has been good to
Gary, and there is scarcely a
church, a hospital or a well
fare organization that has not
been at sometime or other a
beneficiary of the corpora
tons largesse. Five of the
city's lushest parks were de-
veloped on company-donated
land. So was the Gary Gate
way, where stand the twin
city hall and courthouse
thanking the entrance to
sprawling Gary Works. BY
and large, U. S. Steel has won
the reputation of a mighty
good citizen who not only
pays the most taxes but al
ways pays them months in
advance!
With all it's problems -
and they are many - there
are few cities in America
where hope and faith in the
future are so strong as in In
diana's second city.
Again, Welcome To Gary!
