.CFU's 1bnlm Film
Remains Available

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Though
the film "This Is Your Gro
atian F'raternal Union!!" has
been shown in a number Of
C.F.U. centers in America,
and a few in Canada, we still
receive inquiries for it's book
ing.
AS you most certainly must
have read in previous an
nouncements, but another
description will not be super
fluous, we reiterate that it Is
a technicolor and narrative
film, with the narration by
Stephen F. Brkich, the Eng
lish Editor of the Zajednicar.
The film is of the 16mm
variety and has a running
time of fifty-five minutes.
While there is no rental fee
for the film, the lodge groups
using it must furnish their
own protector, empty reel,
screen and experienced or IL
censed operator.
A Bell-Hc .Jell or an R.C.A.
protector will definitely give
the best results. An inferior
protector or inexperienced op-
orator may give you a show
ing other than what we wish.
/ Because the film is gener-
ally always in circulation and
of inestimable value, we ask
that lodges contemplating the
films showing first ascertain
open dates with this Depart
ment.
We also ask that immedi-
ately after it is shown that
the film be Immediately re-
turned to the point designa-
ted by the C.F.U. Sports-Ed-
ucational Department.
Because of it's value, and
this solely to the Society, we
ask that without fail return
be made by first class mail
special delivery, with the film
insured for one thousand
dollars, ($10OO.O0).
Booking of the film as we
have stated above can be
made with the C.F.U. Sports

moneys worth unless they
have well-ordered folloW-up
systems. And the result is
that many Americans are
handicapped in adult life by
physical and dental defects
which ought to have been -
and could have been = COR
rected during childhood.
Problem Can Be Solved
Toward improving almost
any of the current school
programs, the pamphlets au-
thors offer this advice:
School physical examina-
tions are not enough =. A
great many parents need to
be educated to the necessity
for action; a great deal Of in
ertia and ignorance needs to
be overcome. The notices de-
signed for parents, it is OBJ
vious, might convey a much
greater sense of urgency. The
radio and newspaper publici-
ty might likewise be couched
in more vivid language. A
really hard-hitting campaign
of notices to parents accom-
panied by community publici-
ty and education, designed by
experts in public relations,
certainly would help produce
results The problem is
not as easy at it looks, but it
can be solved

900 a year on school healtE
school children have rcmedi-f
able health problems. Taking
the nation as a whole, re-
searchers conclude, the per-
centage is probably much
higher.
What can be done? Accord
ing to the study report just
published in pamphlet form
as "Rx for Healthier Chill
dren," this is the answer: a
system of school physical eX-
aminations which includes a
follow-up program backed by
parents, schools, doctors and
dentists.
The pamphlet is available
through the group which
made the grant for the study
Health Information Foun-
dation, New York City, a
fact-finding organization sup
ported by 200 firms in the
| drug, pharmaceutical, chcmi-
cal and allied fields.
More than $4,000 copies
have been sent to school prin-
cipals, health educators, PTA
groups, school nurses and
other groups working in the
school health field.
Studied Twenty Schools
To find what techniqucs
encourage badly needed par
ent-school-doctor cooperation
the university research group
examined practices in 20
Pennsylvania schools for a
period of three months.
One group of schools -
where no special effort was
made to stimulate correction
was used as a "control'
group.
In three other groups of
equal size, various methods of
improving the rate of rene
dial action were, tested.
Results Long Suspected
Results, say the research
ers, prove what they had long
suspected:
w here corrective action
was stimulated by letters to
parents, newspaper publicity,
efficient school records for
Ifollow-up, and doctor and
dentist cooperation 60.7 per
cent Of the children's corrcc-
table defects had been check
ed or eliminated.
In the control" group
where no special efforts for
cooperation were made, only
45.6 per cent of the health
defects had been corrected
or even re-eXamlned.
In other words, almost
half of the children still had
such defects as bad tonsils,
poor eyesight, thyroid trou-
BILE or decaycd teeth three
months after these had been
discovered.
The study groups conclu-
sion: Probably most of the 80

ination programs in public

Right To Write

A S an Editor, we have never denied an
official of the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on the right to write an article for publ
cation in the English Section.
We are merely continuing this policy
of common courtesy today in publishing
articles under the by-lnes of two EXecu-
tive Officers of the Society, bros. Su-
preme President V. I. Mandich and Jun
ior Order Director Michael Grasha.
That both articles are of controver-
sial nature did not, in our mind, abrogate
the right of either official to submit their
articles for our consideration and publica-
ton at this time.
This is privilege they enjoy as elected
officials of the organization.
AS for the articles in question.
Bro. Mandch deals at length with diff
culties encountered in the past by himself
and others desiring to cross the border and
visit with our members in Canada.
The Supreme President covers this mat
ter from the time it first became a serious
problem during and Immediately following
the Croatian Fraternal Unions 7th Quad
rennial Convention of 1947 held in Pitts
burgh, and brings it up to its present day
status quo for the specific benefit Of the
Socety's members in Canada.
1t will be noted that bro. Mandich feels
certain entry into Canada would have been
denied all CFU officials following the 1947
Convention had they told the reasons = the
truth = why they were anxious to cross
the border on certain occasions.
In effect, the Supreme President
claims some of the SOciety's officials to
have "fibbed' when questioned by Cana
dian border authorities as to the purpose
of their visits among our members there.
Since we are among the CFU's officers
who have never been denied entry into Can
ada, before or after the 1947 Convention,
we would like to make it clear that we
answered all questions asked us at the bor
der to the complete satisfaction of the
cross-examining authorities.
In short speaking for ourself = we
resorted to no trickery no lies, little white
ones or otherwise, to gain entry into ma
ton which has always received us as
respected American citizen.
Our Canadian "record' in this respect
is open and 1907 above board.
Finally, bro. Grasha's article
The Junior Director seems to be having
trouble making it clear to the Society's in
terested membership as to his stand re-
garding the McCarran-Walter Act
He takes care of the matter in this
issue in the hope that his outlook on the
controversial statute will no longer be
twisted or distorted for political or other
prejudiced purposes.
AS for us, we have gone into the McCar-
ran-Walter Acts shortcomings time and
again since former President Harry S. Tru-
man first vetoed it several years ago and
stand by what we said on these pages on
numerous occasions in the past
Our recorded thoughts on this subject
are also open and 1907 above board - as
are our thoughts concerning anything of di-
rect concern to our fellow members. ~ ,.

Babson Park, Mass, January

to send your children to college
sometime between now and 1864?
If you expect them to get a sound
education, mad you to get your
moneys worth, much must be

TAXES SHOULD
NOT BE RAISED

If we want capable teachers,
we shall have to pay wages COM
petitive enough to encourage them
to make the tremendous outlay
Of time and expense needed for
their education. To hold our able
teachers, we shall have to up sal
aries. This means higher taxes.
1 forecast that our Democratic
society, with full employment,
ear prosper only as we provide
adequate schooling for our
youth, with a moderate tax rate.
This mean that u educational
leaders must provide far more
efficient methods of learning by
doubling the use of present ia
cilitieS. What industry could
survive in this competitive era
with its factories being used
only six hours per day?
The Sidney herald., 1955-01-20
CAN COLLEGE FORECASTS
BE TRUSTED?


If you project to 1870 the num-
Der of children already born, you
will have a 1870 increase in the
youth of college age by 1860, a
46% increase by 1865, and a 70%
increase by 1870. And if an in
creasing percentage of our youth
of college age go on to college,
enrollments could double by 1870.
The above is based on the as
sumption that we shall continue
to make more educational oppor-
tunities available for our youth,
as we always have. Educators
claim that by 1870 a good third
of our young people of college age
may enroll. This would more than
double student bodies, and per-
haps require double the number
of teachers and much more class
room space. Personally, l believe
this is like forecasting 500 for the
Industrial Stock Average. I ques-
ton such figures.

THE TEACHER
ROBLEM

The teacher shortage will not
be limited to colleges. Our ele-
mentary and secondary schools
may need about 100000 new tea
cheers each year for the ~foresee-
able future. Yet, it is estimated
by the experts that only about
half the number of teachers need
ed for the public schools alone
will be graduated from college.
But, someone will have to teach
your little Johnny and Susie. If
adequately trained teachers are
not available, persons with sub
standard qualifications will have
to be pressed into service. Now,
why is there a teacher shortage?
The answer, in part, is that tea
cheers Ire ~underpaid.

SALARIES

Public-school classroom teach
ers' salaries averaged about 3d.
600 for 1953-54. This is less than
many business and engineering
college graduates got as a start
ing salary on their first jobs a
year or so ago. And 1953-54 was
a good year for the teachers too,
for it represented an average sal
airy rise of 4.8% over the previous
year.
Still, 14.1% of the 1923, 899 tea
cheers received less than $4,000,
and only 14% received $4,000 or
more. College teachers salaries go
very little higher. The median in
come of physicians, on the other
hand, vas about $1,000; law
yers, $7,75O; dentists, $7,1OO; but
with much higher top figures at
tainable. How a we hope to
hold good men in top educational
jobs which pay $5,O00-$8, 500
when their counterparts in in
dustry offer ceilings unlimited?
