Thank You, Main

\A/E are privileged to reprint the follow
w ing letter forwarded our desk March
last by Mrs. Josephine Finney, nee Bo-
dich, formerly of Seattle, Wash, now of
Menlo Park, California
Seeing the large group picture Febru-
ary 2, 1855, of the Delegates who attended
the CFU's LIST National Junior Convention
held in August 1889, brought fond memo
ries. l have often thought of those I met
there nearly sixteen years ago.
"Your Grand Reunion idea sounds
wonderful If but lived nearer to Gary,
Ind, / would love to see all those Dele
gates of those days once again.
Back in 1899, l made that memorable
trip to Des PLANES, ILL.,, from Seattle, Wash,
representing Junior Order Nest 22O There
were seven of us from the one Nest 1t
was wonderful.
For the past twelve years I've made my
home in California - II years in Palo Alto
and year in Menlo Park. At present have
Supervisors job with a we'll known in
surance (sic.) company, as we'll as keeping
a nome Tor my family. It's not large TAM
ily but my husband and twelve year-old
son manage to keep me quite busy.
May your proposed Grand Reunion at
Gary July 2-3-4, 1865, prove to be success
full. l wish it were possible for me to be
among those present
Perhaps wishing will make it So for
Mrs. Finney, member of the Society's
Seattle Wash, Lodge 764 and staunch
advocate of it's Junior Conventions.
If that isn't possible, perhaps she can
wish long enough, wish hard enough" to
make the dream come true for her
twelve-year-Old son.
Wouldn't her son just love to become
Delegate to the Croatian Fraternal Unions
4th National Junior Convention July 2-3-4
at Gary and boast of the fact that his proud
mother was Delegate to the first such
conclave, held almost 16 years ago at our
Chidren's Home in Des PLANES.
Be that as it may, thank you, Mrs. Fin
,ney, for your very kind letter

hope that the parents, young
sters and nest managers,
jointly, will take a cue for
this reminder. Even at this
stage we look forward to the
biggest yet such tourney.
The Junior Tenpin Tourna-
ment in Chicago, Illinois
while the most distant by ira
vel and datical order has had
it's share of inquiries, all of
which we interpret as sincere
interest in this the biggest
of our tournaments. Junior
Tenpinners will roll but in
five-man team events, but by
their entry blank registration
they will be paired for dou-
bles consideration.
Which is to say that the
scores of any two youngsters
rolled in the, five-man team
event will automatically also
be the doubles score of these
two youngsters and of all 9TH
ers so paired on the entry
blanks for this tournament.
The individual score Of
each youngster will also be
his for singles computation,
all three simultaneously roll
ed events, five-man, doubles
and singles to rate Junior
championship trophies.
The currently circulated
senior Tenpin Tournament en-
try blank, with no regard
paid to entry fee and handi-
cap features, of which there
are none for the Juniors,
should be used and returned
completely filled by the above
specifications for Juniors
competition to the tourna-
ment secretary by the April
I, 1855, deadline.

Managers Directory

THE English Section of the Zajednicar
takes pleasure today in publishing on
pages 10-11 the Directory of all Junior
Order Nest Managers in the United States
and Canada.
The project marks the first such under
taking by the English Section since the
founding of the supplement November 6,
1929, more than 25 years ago.
To give all American and Canadian Nest
Managers their just official recognition on
these pages naturally meant the sacrifice of
a considerable amount of space - virtually
priceless space in this year of many and
varied activities.
But as our duties prescribe we must
at times provide space when, actually, it
just isn't available. Now, that may not
make sense to the layman, yet it is
ipsO facto - the truth in this case.
Which will hardly satisfy those whose
material must wait its turn.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1866


0UR fellow members in South Chicago,
" H., old and young alike, continue to
amaze us almost without end.
AS recently as two years ago this part
of the CrOatian Fraternal Unions domain
was "deader than a door mai" There was
scant enthusiasm for the Society i'm the
area at the time; few cared whether it
was here or there - or gone.
This was not to the liking of the Home
Office at Pittsburgh, yet discretion dictated
that Capitol Hill' should permit it's Lodges
and members in South Chicago to iron out
their own problems and differences among
themselves 1t was, as time proved wise
decision on the part of all concerned.
The surprising solution came approx
mately year ago with the organization of
the United Croatian Fraternal Union Lod-
ges of South Chicago Committee
It's 1854 aims - II To take an all-out
part in the Societys Membership Campaign
of that year and q to stage public salute
to the Croatian Fraternal Unions 6Oth An
niversary second to none held anywhere in
America or Canada.
Both aims were carried out to the letter
and in their successful wake came the dawn

Thomas X. Balaban

TVERY member of the Croatian Fraternal
l. Union may we'll take great pride in the
recently installed First Deputy Insurance
Commissioner of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and rejoice with him in this,
his hour of richly deserved triumph.
He is Thomas r. Balaban, Waynesburg,
who until his stroke of good fortune for all
concerned was General Counsel of the Gro
atian Fraternal Union. graduate of Du-
ouesne University, Pittsburgh, bro. Balaban
is 3S wears. of age and member of Lodge
74O Rices Landing, Pa.
X X
In all humility we must confess that we
personally envy bro. Balaban.
Long have we dreamed of one day rising
to a position of eminence in the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, only to see anoth-
er, an obviously better, man step into
limelight which today reflects it's rays on
every single member of our Society.
But we are anything but jealous of
this still young man, for whereas others
dreamed of great things bro. Balaban set
out i'm his own right to make good when
opportunity called
In other words, we don't really envy bro.
Balaban Instead, we admire him a great
deal and wish him, as fellow American of
Croat descent success in office.
In passing, his fellow members will be
pleased to learn that bro. Balaban attri-
butes great deal of the success he has at
tanned to the fact that he became widely
known and respected as General Counsel
of the Croatian Fraternal Union.
This is certainly tribute to the Gro
attain Fraternal Union, the largest frater-
nal benefit society chartered in the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
1t is no less tribute to the Common
wealth's new First Deputy Insurance Com
missioner as of March 16, 1855 - Thomas
r. Balaban = the son of the hardy type of
immigrant parents who helped make this
nation the closest thing to veritable para
disc on earth. To borrow phrase, it could
only happen here in America!
