Even so, life is still hard in
Yugoslavia. Clothing prices
are high, and materials are
likely to be of poor quality.
A pair of shoes costs an aver
age worker the equivalent of
two weeks pay. Housing is
in short supply in the cities.
Transportation facilities are
generally poor. Most roads
through this rugged country
are of dirt. There is 1 auto
mobile for every 5000 per-
sons as compared to 1 COR
every 4 people in the United
States.
In Yugoslavia, all cars arc
owned by the government.
They are allotted to COM
munist party and government
officials, factory managers,
and other favored individuals.
Nonetheless, since Yugo-
slavia broke with Russia,
there has been a rise in liv-
ing standards tog ther with
slight relaxing of controls
on the people. Tito has ap-
parently let up on these con-
trolls because he is realistic
and knows they are highly
unpopular.
In the past few years, he
has moved a trifle toward the
western type of government,
but Yugoslavia is still basic
ally communist dictatorship
where the press is controlled,
where church leaders have
been prosecuted, and where
serious opposition to Tito is
not tolerated.
What Will Future Prove:
1t is because these condi-
tions still exist in Yugoslavia
that many Americans feel
that it is not safe to count
on Tito's support.
They feel that Russia and
Yugoslavia have SO much in
common in the wa, y run
their governments that it
would be an easy and logical
development for item to be-
come close allies once more.
Others feel, however, that
Yugoslavia's ties with the
west have benefitc her so
much that she will never go
back to her old relationship
with the Soviet Union. More
over, it is argued that Yugo-
slavia will always distrust
Russia's intentions toward
her.
What cours Yugoslavia
will follow remains to be seen.

Street and Russell Boulevard
was the battle-ground of old
world political parties and
ideologies. Yet the parish
finally was established,
thrived, and now serves a
large community.
The Rev. Spiro Andrijanic,
o. F. NJ, has been the pastor
since 1947.
Croats In st. Louis
Many Croats settled in St.
Louis before there was any
serious attempt to found a
Croatian parish the his -ory
of the Church begins.
THE first COMMUNICATIVE
meeting of Croats took place
on September ID, 1902, 1T
Chouteau Hall, 2S12 Chouteau
Avenue" One Peter Hartman
offered to donate $100 "if
there is a Church.
In 1908, Msgr. Martin Krm-
potic, Croatian pastor of Kan
sas City, kans., came to st.
Louis and tried to or. anize a
parish. Though he was given
a list Of Is families who had
promised to suppo Croa-
tan parish in st. Louis, his
efforts failed.
In 1904, the Croatian Ro-
man Catholic Parish Society
of St. Joseph sent petition
to Archbishop Juraj Posilovic
of Zagreb. Croatia, to send
the Rev. Oscar Sustar to st.
Louis. He said his first mass
for the Croats in the Czech
Church of st. Wenceslaus,
3O14 Oregon Avenue, on Feb.
ID, 1904. "a year after his
arrival" the Church history
states, conflict ar between
him and the Church COM
mittee."
Father Sustar resigned in
1909, and year passed be-
fore the next pastor came
the Rev. Joseph J. mpare of
Kansas City; he was a Slo-
vene by birth. He served until
his death in 1925.
Politics In The Parish
During the pastorate Of
Father Kompare," the Church
history states, there was
relative peace among the
Croats belonging to the
Church. But among the Croats
in the Saint Louis colony
there was always trouble.
There wasn't an theology, new
or old, radical or conservative,
that did not find reception
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1955-01-05

Though the country has am
pie supplies of minerals and
timber, there have not been
enough factories to make use
of these raw materials.
After World War II, a big
industrial plan was started.
Machinery was ordered from
communist ,ds. When the
break with Russia came in
1948, the other communist ma
tions refused to fill the or
ders, and the machinery had
to be reordered from western
countries. Consequently, the
government is far behind in
it's program of industrial de-
velopment.
Poor Planning Draw""ck
There has also cen poor
planning. Power plants arc
now wearing out before new
ones are ready to replace
them.
The power shortage is caus-
ing dim-outs in Belgrade,
Yugoslavias capital, and in
other large cities. Aluminium,
copper, and steel plants in
some parts of the country are
not operating because of the
power breakdown.
At the present time, there
arc food shortages which
stem back to the period of
Russian domination. At that
time, an attempt was m de to
form big collective farms like
those in the Soviet Union.
These farms are run by the
government.
The plan failed because the
independent-minded farmers
resisted it. Today the govern
ment is no longer p,.shing the
program. At the height of the
program, 20 per cent of the
nations farmers were col
lectivized, but today only Z
per cent of Yugoslavia's agri-
cultural population is working
on government-directed col
lective farms.
Most farmers now sell their
produce wherever they wish
for what they can get.
Economy Far From Good
Aid from the United States
and other western lands has
helped boost living standards.

In Appreciation

THE Croatan Fratcrnal Union Tor years
! has been the beneficiary of much favor
able publicity aired by directors of Croat
and other radio hour programs
Each director in his own way has spread
the good name of the Society throughout
the area serviced by his broadcastlng out
let and covered everything from Member
ship Campaigns to National Celebrations
sponsored by the greatest such organiza-
ton on the face of the earth.
Onlv rarely did the Croatian Fraternal
Union pay for the services rendered by
these directors. Ninety-ninc times out Of
hundred the publicity was, so to speak,
"on the house.
In return - in appreciation - the Gro
attain F'raternal Union has always supported
these directors by publicizing them and
their programs in the Zajednicar.
1t is doing as much in this particular
issue in directing attention to the Annual
Cleveland, Ohio, Croatian Radio Hour Con-
cert Program and Dance to be sponsored
bv bro. John Birek on Sunday, January 9,
at the Slovenian Home.
A member of Lodge IA, Cleveland bro.
Brek has consistently publicized the Soci-
ETY. via his regular weekly broadcasts,
which are heard over Radio Station WJW,
$50 &c, every Sunday morning between the
good listening hour range Of $50 to 10
o'clock and enjoyed by thousands
Bro Birek has done many things in the
past for the good of the Croatian Fraternal
Union as whole and deserves the contin-
ued support of all members of the Society
within his broadcasting range. He is proud
Of his people and their countless worthwhile
accomplishments as Americans of Croat ex-
traction or descent. And he exhibits that
pride whenever he can in his contacts With
the public at large. ..-
The Croatian Fraternal Union believes
that all directors of Croatian radio hour
programs are it's sincere friends. 1t has no
reason to believe otherwise
1t appreciates this friendship and goes
on to hope that it will be as lasting as time
itself. that it's time honored name will be
repeated ten thousand times and over in the
future by those who visit via the air
waves with our people.
May the New Year be happy and pros
porous one for these directors. May success
follow them throughout 1865 and be re-
Elected in their continued support of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.

OUR Lodges 644 and 954 members in

feel downright proud of themselves after
what came to pass in their fraternal midst

And why not? Didn't they forget thei"
past grievances on the occasion to co-spon-
sor - for the first time in their respective
histories public program honoring and
paying deserving tribute to the greatness
Of the Croatian Fraternal Union?
Indeed they did to prove, once and for
all that while men can make mountains of
misunderstanding out of personal, petty
molehills, they can't make light Of the prin
ciples of Fraternalism.

We know our members in Hamilton

many times in the past and listened to their
pet peeves gripes and dislikes.
But what we heard never convinced us
that the majority of the one or the other
Lodge were keeping the membership of the
twain from coming together for a worthy
purpose. 1t was, in truth, the few who kept
the many apart to the detriment of the
entire fraternal community.
Nor did we ever doubt that we would
live to see the day when these two Lodges
would get around to what our people call
''zdrav razum." That day had to come to
Hamilton, as it must to all other centers

Your Built-in Air Conditioner ;.
Fans Give 1t the Extra Zip Needed

With your fevered brow baking
and the corn popping" in the broil-
Ing sun, II may be hard to believe,
but :. your body has its own buiif-
In Fair conditioning" system. OF
course IL may need q little help
TO function effectively. but 1t has
one nevertheless. Here's how 1t
works: when the temperature rises
you, start to perspire: when the per-
SEPARATION evaporates quickly. you
feel cooler.
Now. there's very little difficulty In
iperspiring in hot weather. The trick
Is TO get rid of excess perspiration
quickly. And, you can do It IL you
keep the air around you in motion.
Take an uncomfortably warm
house on hot day, for example.
You can keep II cool inside II you
epply a few simple principles. In
the daytime. summer outdoor air Is
warmer and more humid than air
indoors. So-close the doors and
windows and pull down the shades
or blinds so that heat can not be
transferred into the house from out
side. Don't worry about lack Of air.
There's plenty OF Il In the house.
All It needs Is motion to overcome
any feeling OF stuffiness. An electric
fan or fans of the proper rating and
correctly located will do an efficient
air circulation Job for you at little
cost.
Fans circulate . given number OF
cubic feet Of cir per minute, and
this data appears on their name
plates. To get the right size Of fans
needed, therefore, you must first
know the cubic feet OF air In the
room to be cooled. This Is done by
multiplying the length of the room,
the length x the height Say this
comes TO 1000 cubic feet. Therefore,
fan or fans with o total rated
capacity Of at least 1000 cubic feet
per minute (CFM) will move The
air In this room once every minute.
In cooler climates 2 or 3-minute
air circulation cycle may be ads-
quate.
Be sure, too. that your fans are
located correctly. Figures ], Ia, 81
