Croatans "Niggers?'

THE Croatan Indians of the South have
for years puzzled historians as to their
true ancestral background.
While no able historian has ever salts
factorily explained their presence on these
shores, some seem to believe that the Gro
atan Indians are descendants of Croa-
tians" who came to this continent long be-
fore the birth Of the United States.
Perhaps history will one day solve this
deep mystery once and forever
In the meantime, Florida sheriff re-
Gently accomplished what no historian has
been able to do: He decreed that Croatan
Indian : to him = is niger
1t happened when family of Croatans
moved from Holly Hill, South Carolina, to
Mt. Dora, Florida. While the family lived in
South Carolina, all Croatan children were
treated as white and admitted to Holly
Hill schools without question.
When they moved to Florida, Lake
Countys sheriff took one look at the dark
complexion of one of the familys boys,
another at the full-sized nose of sister.

attend the schools Of Mt. Dora And he had
his way until the publishers of the Mt. Dora
Topic and st. Petersburg Times" decided
to call his bluff. The last we heard of the
case it was in the hands of the FBI
Regardless of where the Croatan In
dians came from, the fact remains that they
are Americans, not "niggers.'
Even if they were 'niggers," no Amer
ican vested with authority has the right to
label any man anything he wants and rele-
gate him to color line to be spat upon
This is America, 1855, not some dark land
centuries removed from civilization.
Too many of us seem to forget we are
Americans when fellow American has to
stand for being called a niger" "hunkic,"
"dago," or what have you. Too many of
us just don't give damn what happens to
our neighbor so long as we can 60 on living
oblivious to harsh reality.
Small wonder, then, that we are rapidly
becoming our own worst enemies. Even
smaller wonder that we are becoming stool
pigeons informcrs, hypocrites, "izdajice."

Old, Old Story

A LTHOUGH it didn't come up to the
!. \ standards set for it, the Croatian Fra
ternal Unions Goth Anniversary Member
ship Campaign Of 1854 was nonethcless sue
cessful in many respects.
A complete recapitulation of the Cam
paign, which appears elsewhere in today's
English Section, attests to the fact that the
1854 recruiting drive was anything but
lost cause. We doubt that the record could
have been bcttered under the economic cir
cumstances which prevailed during the
greater part of the Campaign. AS far as
we are concerned, no one need apologize for
the final outcome No alibis are necessary
Surprise of the 1854 Campaign was bro.
Vincent Bislupic, member of Chicago, ILL.,,
"Hrvatska Sloboda" Lodge 50 and Manager
Of its Junior Order Nest II.
A garrison finish gave bro. Biskupic the
Campaign leadership nod over bro George
Balich, Secretary of "Matija Gubec" Lodge
2SS, Indiana Harbor, Ind. Bro Biskupic
finished at the head of the class by scant
point 1,00S to 1005 - to lob bro
Balich out of an honor he had held virtually
throughout the life of the recent drive
X
Winning Campaign Grand Prizes is an
old, old story with bro. Biskupic, one he
patterned for the first time years ago. In
fact, if he didn't win top award during
such drive we'll, we, for one, would think
he was gone from this world.
Bro. Biskupc's victory is all the more
remarkable when it is recalled that he was
visiting in Yugoslavia for quite few weeks
during the height of the Campaign.
But he had what it takes to make up for
lost time and ended the year of 1854 On a
sweet personal note of triumph And when
a man can do as much in the face Of great
odds, then he most certainly is deserving
champion in every sense of the word
Bro. Bislupic is proof that Campaign
Champions are born, not made!

In Appreciation - IL

| Asst week we DOTTED our hat editorially
l. in appreciation to all Croatian Radio
Hour Directors who have benefited the
Croatian Fraternal Union in many ways VIA
their regular broadcasts.
We paid special tribute at the time to
bro John Birek, Director of the Cleveland
Ohio, Station WJW, $50 KC, Croatian Ra-
dio Hour, for the virtually countless reams
of publicity he has given the Society thru
out the nine years he has been airing his
weekly Sunday shows.
Today we wish to express similar appre-
citation to bro. Anthony ]. Brajdic member
of Pittsburgh, Pa, Lodge 234 and veteran
of the radio broadcasting field.
A member of the Croatian Fraternal
Unions Home Office Clerical Staff since
1910, bro. Brajdic is currently conducting
two Amcrican-Croatian Radio Hour Pro-
grams each week: Saturday. sos to
$50 PM over Mckeesport, Pa Station
WMCK, 1860 &c, and Sunday, $3.50 to 400
PM, over Pittsburgh, Pa, Station WP1T,
$50 KC
ternal Union more than it's fair share of
publicity through the medium of his broad
casts and has always held his Society in the
highest of esteem. He is our idea of typi-
cal, sincere Fraternalist.
X 4
But bro. Bra jdic does not conflne his
goodness to the Society alone.
He has for years been instrumental in
seeing to it that Pittsburgh District hos
pitalized war veterans are not forgotten
during the Christmas Season, that the An
nual March of Dimes Campaign is given
every possible material boost.
Many hospitalized veteran owes his
first acquaintance with tamburitza music
and the songs of our people to bro. Brajdic.
And the March. Of Dimes is deeply indebted
to him for his tireless efforts to swell it's
Golfers with money. All of which he goes
about accomplishing annually without seek
ing any credit in his own right.
Yet everything comes to him who waits
even belated public appreciation for a
job we'll done, that of being good Amer
ican not ashamed of his people and heritage.
The Croatian Fraternal Union is the
better off for members. of bro. Bra jdc's
type. We can pay him no higher honor in
words than to say that we are proud to be
a fellow member of his in Society both Of
us have long held on high.

Mothers Clubs

\ hANY Junior Order Nest of the Gro
IV' atian Fraternal Union could be acti
waited in next-to-nothing-fla merely by
coming into an active Mothers Club.
The mothers of Gary Ind, Nest 10,
largest of all the Socety's such juvenile
branches, proved as much several years ago
when they organized a strong Mothers
Club and successfully conducted = of all
things Junior Summer School in 1858.
Detroit, Milwaukee and other large CFU
Centers followed suit last year and an en-
Unused Nest membership was the immedi-
ate reaction to their promotional plans.
Only recently we spoke in Farrell Pa,
during the Annual Christmas Program held
December 26 by the Society's Lodge 1926
and Nest 100 of that community.
Here, in Farrell, our members saw the
wisdom last Spring of organizing a Junior
Tamhuritza Orchestra and were themselves
amazed some months later when they
watched an ensemble comprised of seven
teen boys and girls all Nest 100 affiliates,
make their public debut.
We were equally amazed December 26
when we had the privilege of watching
these youngsters perform. Considering
their tender years, we have never heard
group to equal the artistic likes of this
Junior Tamburitza Orchestra.
X X
Having reactivated it's youth in musi-
cal sense the leadership of both Lodge 126
and Nest 100 should now organize a Moth
.ers' Club to carry on in other fields of
juvenile activity.
We suggest as much because there are
other, many other, Nest 100 boys and girls
who are not musically inclined, but who are
anxious to try something else in the line of
wholesome activity. They should not be
overlooked while the iron is hot.
Neither should our "action minded
youngsters in any other community!

It's Tit For Tat!

The United States has re-
piled tit for tat on the travel
restrictions imposed on for
eigners by the Soviet Union.
About 30 per cent of the Sov-
let Union is out of bounds to
Americans and other travel
ers. So now about q per cent
of the United States is out
of bounds to Soviet travellers,
except those working under
the UN Secretary-General.
T h e sc new restrictions
aren't likely to set back the
tourist business in the United
States. There aren't many
Soviets who ''ravel here any
how. Moscow sees to that,
making sure that only the
most dedicated Communist is
allowed to come to America
for fear that anyone less
dedicated would be "subvert-
ed by the truth.
Security no doubt plays
some role in the new U. S.
restrictions. But our guess is
that there's much less secur-
ity in them than reciprocity.
This seems borne out by Mr..
Dulles comment that if the
Soviet Union eased up on it's
restrictions the United States
would consider doing SO on
it's.
What, then, is the main
point in forbidding Soviet
travellers to come into such
areas as Brooklyn, Allegheny
County and 38 other counties
in Pennsylvania, and Deaf
Smith County, Texas; but
permitting them to go into
such areas as Arkansas, Wis
consin, Utah, and Eureka
County, Nevada
The main point is simply
to give the Soviets a dose of
their own medicine. Or, as we
prefer to put it, simply to
show the world that the u. S.
can be just as childish as the
Soviet Union.

All members of Nest 100,
these youngsters were for

December 26 appearance was
only their second before the
public, although they did per-
form over New Castle, Pa,
Television Station WKST and

during the holiday season.
We cannot help but predict
a tremendously successful fu-

They are unquestionably dcs-

comes with years of learning.
Our people in Farrell should
be proud of them.

Although we have sat

our most plea SAINT memories.
The cast was comprised of
six outstanding, obviously

govac; Louis Facko, PoStar;
Barbara Cemcrich, Trgovceva

These actors had their audi

Common Council
Offers New Book
Edition Explains
Citizenship Steps

Pittsburgh, Pa. = Interested
members of the Croatiah Fra
ternal Union may now obtain
the recently completely revised
edition of the standard hand
book "How To Become A Citi-
zen Of The United States"
authorized by Marian Schibsby
and Read Lewis.
Published by the Common
Council For American Unity,
20 West 40th Street, New York
City 18, New York, the work
is a new and enlarged edition
covering IA pages. The hand
book sells for $3.50 per copy
and should be ordered direct
from the publishers-not from
the Home Office of the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union.
Questions And Answers
The new edition, published
in November of 1854, furnishes
a complete and up-to-date guide
for the newcomer who wishes
to become an American citizen.
1t covers the many changes
which have been made in Am
erican naturalization law and
procedure since the passage of
the McCarran-Walter Immigra-
ton and Nationality Act.
The handbook explains ex-
actly what the applicant for
citizenship must do and takes
him through each step in the
naturalization process. A series
of 1873 specimen questions and
answers on American history
and government provides a
very valuable guide to the kind
of questions the applicant must
be prepared to answer. Infor-
nation as to home study
courses and classes is included.
Every Problem Covered
This edition also provides the
teacher, social worker, librarian
and lawyer with reasonably
comprehensive information on
the varied, often intricate prob
lens of naturalization and citi-
zenship with which they are
likely to be confronted in ad-
vising newcomers anxious to
become citizens.
1t also includes references to
the pertinent provisions of the
complex law and regulations in
volved in the naturalization
process in case anyone desires
to pursue any question to its
source.
A new feature is Voters
ABC," a section explaining step
by step what the new citizen
has to do to register and vote.
Also included is the Declara-
ton of Independence and the
Constitution of the United
States, both basic documents
in American history and gov
ernment.
Recommended By Society
First published more than 80
years ago, "How To Become A
Citizen Of The United States"
because of it's accuracy, clarity
and completeness, has fully
served the needs of a genera
ton.
The Croatian Fraternal Un-
ion is pleased to recommend
this latest edition and is cer-
tain that both the professional
and newcomer will find it far
more interesting and valuable
than any of its printed prede-
cessors. 1t should be a must"
in every American home.
