Rochester, Pa. - An in
formal meeting will take place
in Conway, Sunday, August
21, Of all Beaver County and
vicinity Delegates-elect to the
Croatian Fraternal Unions
9th Quadrennial Convention
at Philadelphia In September.
The meeting will be held
in the Conway Lodge $40 Cro-
attain Home, 1412 Second
Avenue, and start at 2:30
PM. Also invited to attend,
in addition to the Delegates,
are all members interested in
the Convention. All CFU Off
cials at Pittsburgh are like
wise invited to be in attend

ture as a group of the Dele

ter understanding among all
Delegates; and whatever else
may be deemed as in keeping
with the best interests of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Beaver County's Delegates
to the Convention are John
r. Mikan, Rochester Lodge
IS; Sam Vrankovic, Ambridge

hotel reservations, ETC., and
some would like to know ap-
proximately what will be paid
for per diems during the Con-
vention, which is understand
able, because each individual
wants to prepare for the trip
and arrange his affairs SO as
not to worry over those that
are left at home.
There are delegates who
will be accompanied by their
wives or other members of
the family, and they naturally
would like to budget their ex-
penses ahead of time. All of
these questions are best an
swered in our official organ
for the information of all con-
cerned.
For purposes of compari-
son, we will review the cost
of the past three Conventions.
In 1943. the Sixth Convention
in Chicago cost the Society
close to $4,000. The travel
ing expenses of the Delegates
were almost $4,000, per
diems $4,000. The balance
was for miscellaneous Incl
dental convention expenses.
The Seventh Convention
of 1947 in Pittsburgh cost
$4,000, namely travelling
expenses close to $4,000
per diems 100000, and the
balance being incidental ex-
penses.
The 1851 Eighth Conven-
ton in Los Angeles, for un-
derstandable reasons, cost
much more than the previous
Conventions, almost $168, 900,
comprised of travelling expen-
ses in the sum of $68, 500, per
diems $4,000, and the bal
ance being the usual miscella-
neous expenses of a conven-
ton.
Predict 6 Working Days
For the expenses Of the
coming Convention, we have
set aside the amount Of $780,
900. This was done without
charging our members a spe.
cial convention expense as
sessment, as was customary
in previous convention years
This amount of $15O,0OO,
we believe, will cover all ex-
penses of the Ninth Conven.
ton, f., if it will complete its
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1955-08-10

business in six working days,
as now anticipated.
We wrote, just before the
Eighth Convention in Los An
geles, when approval was CIV
en- by referendum of per d.
ems of $40 to the members Of
the Convention while travel
ing, and SIS during the Con-
vention, that we will recon-
mend a special bonus in the
amount of $50 if the Conven-
ton will be able to complete
its work in six working days.
Some of the Delegates
made fun of this recon-
mendatiOn, and for their a
musement on the special
train from Chicago to Los
Angeles, sang eve don't
want Mandich's bonus.
But, when the motion
came before the Convention
not for $50 as was our recon-
mendation, but for a SIS boz
nus-even though the Con-
vention lasted eight working
days, practically all the Del
egates voted for that bonus.
For that reason, the Conven-
tion cost us approximately
$4,000 more than had been
estimated.
A Sound Recommendation
For the Ninth Convention
in Philadelphia, we expect an
expenditure for travelling ex-
penses Of our Delegates Of
$4,000.
Deducting this amount and
approximately an additional
$4,000 for incidental conven-
ton expenses, leaves in the
neighborhood of $115,000 a.
vailable for per diems to the
members of the Convention.
Therefore, we are prepared to
recommend to the Committee
on Per Diems and Salaries at
the Convention that the per
diems to members of the Con.
vention while attending the
Convention be set at $4,000
and at SIS for travelling time.
The question arises, why
this difference in per dien1s
for travelling time and for at
tending the Convention? This
is why. While travelling, every
member of the Convention
who travels eight hours or
