New Choral Group

So. Chicago, iii. The
first Concert to be presented
by the newly organized Gro
alta" Singing Society has
been scheduled for staging on
May %, 1855.
Some ten short months ago
a new singing society bearing
the name Croatia" came in
to being here in Chicago. To-
day it is comprised of fifty
active men and women who
are interested in perpetuating
the songs of our forefathers.
They are under the direc-
ton of Professor V. B. Smut
ny, the very same choral gen.
JUS who leads the "Prerado-
vic" group of Gary, Ind.
Through his able leadership
this younger group soon
hopes to attain wide acclaim
for it's efforts in promoting
old world culture.
Many of the singers are af-
filiated with the Croatian
Fraternal Union and all pos
sess a mature quality which
makes us truly confident that
they will progress in their
goal.
These are the reasons why
we urge all residents of the
Chicago and surrounding
areas to be on hand at the
very first concert presented
by this group on Sunday,
May %, 1855, at the Croatian
Home, South Chicago.

Captains of five-man teams

6. - You must bowl in the
order scheduled, which order

changes, they must be made
on the day before the sched-
uled time. Last minute chan
ges will not be considered due
to the fact that in a Handi-

every change on the tourna-
ment scoring sheets, prepared

rewriting and computation.

Chicago, iii. - The 21st
Annual Tenpin Tournament
to be run off this weekend in
Chicago, beginning May 18th
and to May Is, inclusive, is
one of the larger tournaments
in its justifiably proud his
tory.
For the best possible con-
summation of the 1855 run
ming, we, in behalf of the
tournament hosts and admin
istrators, make the following
requests, each important in
the final outcome of the 1855
Tournament.
1. - The time shown in the
tournament schedule will con-
form to the time current in
Chicago, Illinois.
2. - The local tournament
committee will have a desk in
the lobby of the Congress Ho-
tel, So. Michigan Avenue at
Congress ST., Chicago, 5, Illi-
nois. Said desk will be stated
at all times to supply you
with the information making
your stay in Chicago an en-
joyable one. Do not fail to
visit the desk once you arrive
whereupon you will be direct
ed to Registration Room.
3. - Bear in mind that the
tournament schedule which
taxes both bowling empori-
ums to the limit from Satur-
day noon on that all bowling
will positively start on time.
There will be no hold-ups for
late arrivals. If you fail to
appear on the squad you are
assigned, you will forfeit your
entry, because the heavy
schedule leaves no openings
to bowl later. Bear in mind
too, that the $50 AM. Sun
day keglers, by their own re-
quest for said squad, have re-
lieved many of those who can
roll on subsequent squads.
4. - All bowlers must be
on hand and ready to bowl in
turn when the schedule so
calls. Scorekeepers will be
instructed to credit bowlers
with nine co. pins when it
is his or her turn to bowl.
5. = All three games of
each event will be bowled on
one pair of alleys. A different
pair has been assigned when

less than 10 new CF'U men,
bers for a total of rs points.
And who were these points
for? No, not for bro. Abramo-
vic, but a princely gift to his

tional Junior Convention July
PA at Gary, Ind.
We have subsequently
made a closer check of bro.
Abramovic's record in the
CFU and have found it to
be a paragon of fraterna-
ism. Not only has John
Abramovic been a perren-
nial campaigner, but he has
for scores of years been a
most active member.
During most of these he
has held lodge office and even
now serves in the capacity of
vice-president of Etna, Pa,
Lodge 4. Despite the fact that
he has for many years had
his own flourishing bsuiness,
he has nevertheless found
time to devote to his Lodge
and Society.
Determination Pays Off
He bemoans the fact that
of the 3 previous Junior Con-
ventions, the 3rd did not
count an Etna Abramovic on
it's roster.
Yes, the 1st Junior Conven-
ton at the CFt Children's
Home in 1889 saw his son,
John Jr., as delegate by vir-
tue of the fathers recruiting
zeal. The End such conclave,
held in Kansas City in 1941,
saw another son, Albert, in
the role of delegate, thanks
to his fathers propensity for
signing up new members.
Well, bro. John was de-
termined that the Etna
Abramovics shall be repre-
sented at this years Junior
Convention and so again he
set out to work and made it
so. The CFU is richer by no
less than 10 new members
and this outstanding fra
ternaIist continues his re-
cord of achievement.
His proud family, now
reaching into the second and
third generation, numbers 18,
all members of the CFU, all
extremely and pardonably
proud of this patriarchal fig
ure.
Is it any wonder then that
our Croatian Fraternal Union
is able to march briskly for
ward year in and year out?
Our organization is progress
ing because it is composed
of just such units, family
groups, large and small,
which together make up one
great family, truly all breth-
rem under one roof!

scene anywhere our peren-
NAL membership drives keep
us in the very vanguard of
growing, forward marching
fraternals.
And what is that secret ?
Well, purely and simply it's
love Of organization. The cur
rent drive has particularly
been characterized by innu-
merable acts of self-sacrifice
and devotion. Many of our
elected Delegates to the 4th
National Junior Convention
had the wholehearted assis-
tance of outstanding recruit.
ers in their areas. Many, If
not most, of those still striv-
ing for their required quota
of points are receiving the
help of others.
Points, which mean dol
lars, are being given away
by those who have earned
them by tedious campaign
ing. Original proposers are
transferring their points to
candidates just so that a
youngster will get his
chance to come to Gary and
help swell the turnout.
This is truly fraternalism
in action, for every point
transferred or given away
means a dollar sacrificed.
This then is the secret" of
the CFUs success, this is the
TAJNA which makes our or
ganization a true house of
fraternalism.
A Typical Fraternalist
From every corner of our
continental domain have come
these proofs of pride in or
ganization.
We dare not begin listing
names for fear of inadver-
tantly omitting some, but we
can say that we are proud
of our people indeed. They
have certainly proven that
the CFU's motto "All for one,
one for alp, is a living,
breathing principle and not
an empty cliche.
To fortify our contention
with but one concrete ex-
ample out of many, permit us
to quote from just one letter.
The writer was a pretty
young Miss who through con-
scientious work, and the help
of her father, no doubt, has
already attained her quota
of points.
This fraternalist is none
other than Catherine Sa-
ban of Crystal Lake, iii.
In answer to our inquiry of
whether she wanted to be
qualified as a Junior Dele
gate only on the basis of
IS points, since she lives
close enough to Gary not to
require CFU paid transpor-
tation, she replied - II
shall never let up on writ
ing up new CFU insurance.
1t is the best protection in
the world and all CrOatians
should have it."
