Economy is one of the rea-
sons being cited for setting up
roadside protected highways.
It is pointed out that un-
controlled development along
major roads jams the high
ways, necessitating the con-
struction of alternate routes,
such as the new Baltimore
parkway. When originally
built, No. l was expected to
last as the major route until
at least 1860.
In the past, business in
terests have opposed highway
coming. However, the bill in
the Maryland Legislature does
not affect existing structures,
but looks to the future. Also,
surveys have shown that busi-
nesses on a highway which
was by-passed flourished when
people in the area found they
could reach the establish
mentS without battling cross
country traffic.
Safeguards have been placed
in the bill to make sure rural
areas can still sell their pro-
duce on the highways. Also,
no authority Is taken away
from local governing bodies
in regulating businesses in
their communities.
Another argument advanced
by the proponents of high
way coming is that, with a
200-foot strip free on either
side Of the road, If the high
way needs to be widened, the
land will be available with
out moving businesses.
With Maryland working on
a $562-millon 12-year road
plan and President Eisenhower
proposing a $50 billion high
way investment for the coun-
try, State officials are show
ing more interest in saving
roads for traffic, in making
them safer and more scenic

Points and SSS

= ENEROUS as the Society is, always
~ was, the Croatian Fraternal Union
still cannot afford to play Santa Claus and
maintain it's financial equilibrium.
1t cannot, for example, permit an adult
proposer working in the Junior Orders cur
rent 10th Anniversary Membership Cam
paign to transfer his or her Points to a
youngster seeking to become Delegate to
the 4th National Junior Convention July
2-3-4, 1855, at Gary, Indiana, and lay claim
to their cash awards at the same time
In other words, a proposer may help
boy or girl make the grade as Delegate to
the Junior Convention, but it will have to
be at the cost of sacrificing both their
Points and monetary rewards = if they are
inclined to do so from the heart.
For the Society to rule otherwise in this
matter would make no sense.
In the first place. every Delegate to
the Junior Convention will be entitled to
round-trip railroad coach fare to Gary;
hotel accommodations; meals; sightseeing
tours; entertainment; etc.
The cost to the Society in every such
case will be by far greater than the cash
value of the Points which the youngster
must amass in order to become Delegate.
There must, then, be an all-around sac
rifice some on the part of an adult
anxious to help youngster, some on the
part of the youngster himself, some on the
part of the Croatian Fraternal Union. 1t
won't work any other way.
The Society has never given anything
away for nothing to any member.
Frankly, it isn't in position to do so,
for it is non-profit organization and must
govern itself accordingly in every single
phase Of it's operations.
But it can does - bend over back
wards many times to help its members
reach one goal or another without "billing"
them in full for the expenses involved in
attaining high honor.
1t is doing just that in making it as
easy as possible for boys and girls to quail
ify as Delegates to the 4th National Junior
Convention at Gary Juy next.

Salute to "OnvX"

OUR editorial chapeau is DOTTED this
" week to "Onyx' Lodge TT, Detroit,
Michigan, which will celebrate its Silver
Anniversary on Saturday, January 20.
There is no need for us to 60 into de-
tails here regarding the background and
history of this English Speaking Lodge, for
bro Adam Sudetic, Secretary of Detroits
Central Educational Committee of Lodges,
is taking care of the matter on Page of
todays Zajednicar in fine style.
But in passing, we would like to recall
that we once attended a ma jor Onyx"
Lodge 717 affair in the company of the
late bro. M. J. Horvath, for years Editor
of the English Section of the Zajednicar
and long a champion of the E-S-L cause.
That would take us back in memory to
April 25, 1887, and bring to mind the pro-
gram the members Of "Onyx' sponsored in
public recognition of the fact that they had
surpassed the 1O0-mark in membership at
the time. 1t was as bro. Sudetic points out
in his article on Page Z, one of the great
social successes in "Onyx" annals
To us, however it is memorable for an
entirely different reason: 1t marked the
first time in our life that CFU Lodge in
vited us to make a speech. So what?
Well, in 1887, we were nobody = but
nobody - in the CFU world at large!

Simply Amazing

\ hILLIONS Of Americans felt bit more
wi secure last week when the y. S. 5.
Nautilus, the worlds first atom-powered
submarine, officially began what is known
as builders trials in the test area Of the
waters of Long Island Sound.
The sleek, 5000 ton Nautilus cost re-
cord $50 900 900 to construct and is the
first of a proposed fleet of seven subma-
rines scheduled to operate on nuclear
power. The Nautilus is said to be capable
of circling the globe in month without re-
surfacing in the interim.
X
While this submarine is but another
marvel of the age we live in, what amazes
us is that the cost of building the Nautilus
was more than twice the assets Of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union or S55,0OO,OOO as
against the Societys $23,OO0000.
1t took all of sixty long years. from 1894
through 1854, for the Croatian Fraternal
Union to amass it's assets of S23 100000 -
only two-and-one-half years for the Federal
Government to spend S55,OOO,OO0 on the
Nautilus from the time it's keel was laid
until it took to the water last week.
All of which makes us feel rather small
in suddenly immense world!

Bro. Toljan also pledges his
support of the drive and
asks for more literature such
as our "Dunne's Reports" on
the new Junior CSC certifi-
Gates. He has found these re-
ports most helpful, he claims.
Again from Mckeesport,
we received a letter from sis

wants all available data and
literature on certificates SO
that she can pursue more ef-

Benwood Colony Active
Another perennial recruiter
and always a staunch frater-

doubles in brass as Benwood,

dent and Manager of Nest 60.
Bro. Baron is an occasional
visitor at CFU headquarters,
for whenever he has the op-
portunity, he likes to do busi-
ness directly. Bro. Baron was
a top award winner in the
1858 campaign and was very
active in the 1854 dr. e as
we'll. To date, and only half
of the first month is over, he
has already enriched the CF'U
with 10 new members.
Farrell Members Primed
Bro. Michael Golub, an
other campaigner of many
years and long time Secre-
tary of Farrell, Pa, Lodge
126, has made known his in
tention of working in this
campaign too.
1t is characteristic of him
that he does things in a big
way. He has just sent us a
request for fifteen, yes Is.
Declarations of Intention"
Farrell will, no doubt, be
we'll represented in Gary. Bro.
Golub will see to that!
Yes, our CFU is on the
march! The "Year of Action"
is just that in every sense
of the word!

Francis r. Smith

\h/ITH the inauguration tuesday Jan
w uary 18, of Governor George M. Lead
er, Francis R. Smith, Philadelphia, became
the new Insurance Commissioner OF the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
That Governor Leader, Pennsylvania S
first Democratic Chief Executive IN 10
years, knew what he wanted in the way OF
a capable qualified Insurance Commission
er is borne out by Mr.. Smiths meritorlous
career as an outstanding public servant.
Mr.. Smith graduated from st. Josephs
College. Philadelphia, in 1888 and in 1888
received his Bachelor Of Law Degree at
Temple University School of Law.
He represented his district in Congress
from 1941 to 1943 and served as United
States Collector of Internal Revenue, Phil
adelnhia. from 1915 until 1852. He is also
former U. S. Marshal.
In 1851 he was appointed Regional Co
Ordnator of all Federal agencies In Penn
sylvania and was given an award for out
standing service for his role In spurrlng
War Bond Drives. Pennsylvania led all
other states in the nation in percentage OF
participation in those drives.
In 1862 Mr.. Smith was elected President
of the Federal Business Association, which
is comprised of the heads and supervisory
staffs of all Federal civilian establish
ments in Pennsylvania and considered of
prime import to the Commonwealth.
X X
The new Insurance Commissioner,
whose post pays S15,O00,00 year, is
Chairman of the 43rd Ward Democratic
Committee of Philadelphia, an honor held
previously by his father for many years.
In fact, it is the tradition of the Smith
family that both father and son have sue
cessfully carried their political division
through the years without once slipping OF
the. bitter dregs of defeat
Mr. Smith is very closely associated
with Philadelphia's Democratic City Chair
man William j. Green, Jr. He served as Mr..
Green's assistant and managed his recent
campaign for reelection to the United
States House of Representatives.
Finally, he was among the first to see
in George NJ Leader Democratic timber for
the governorship of Pennsylvania. That he
was right is now matter of history.
X
AS it's new boss in the Common
wealth, the Croatian Fraternal Union wish
es Mr.. Smith deserving success as the In
surance Commissioner of Pennsylvania.
His is most important post, one which
deals with the welfare of endless thousands
of people who have money invested IN life
and other insurance protection He will need
the cooperation and support of all to carry
out his various tasks.
The Croatian Fraternal Union pledges
Mr.. Smith just that - cooperation and sup
port = as he begins his term in office under
youthful Governor George M. Leader

Junior Convention July 2-3-4,
1855, at Gary, Indiana.
The daughter of 7lata Tur-

Phoenix.
She was born November %,
1887, and became member

from Gary, the steel city
where she made her frater-
nal start in 1888 and one she
would revisit July next as
a Delegate to the Society's

lend enchantment, then this
very pretty young lady can't
help but make it to Gary in
due time.
We know those who re-

would love to see Sylvia Ann
return for this Convention
and renew acquaintal.ces. So
would we. Very much so.

members in our ranks!
For the past two years of
our stewardship this depart
ment has been riding on the
happy crest of new member
ship peaks. In a huge organi-
zation such as the CFU jun
ior Order, the monthly drain
via the compulsory 18-year
transfer route is proportion
ately large and with lapsa-
tions, surrenders and deaths
we sustain an average month
ly drop of close to 200 men,
bers.
The department established
new high in transfers to
the Senior department last
month when $50 Juniors took
up membership in Senior
Lodges. 1t is therefore a tre-
mendous uphill pull to merely
replace these losses.
To be able to do that, and
register a handsome net in
crease each month, is a mod
ern day fraternal miracle
which our field workers are
constantly performin-.
Now Even Greater Giant
At the beginning of last
year we had set for ourselves
a lofty goal-34,O00 Juniors
by the end of 1854.
In November, when order
ing a supply of letterheads
for the 10th Anniversary
Year we had added some
special heraldry at the bot
tom of the sheet. This pro-
claimed to the world that:
"Our Greatest Asset is "a, 1000
Junior Members"
We must admit that there
were times when we were
very much afraid that the
year end statistics would
label us as at least careless
with the truth. Well, we are
proud to say, in fact we want
to shout it from the roof
tops, that our hopes have be-
come a reality.
Yes indeed, let the joyous
tidings reverberate from the
Atlantic to the Pacific-let it
be known that our Junior
Order has become an even
greater giant!
Flood Of Applications
1t is under this most aus
picious circumstance that we
begin this years new mem
bership drive which is dedi-
Gated to the Junior Depart
ment's 10th Anniversary.
Already we have received
2 flood of new membership
applications which may we'll
set a new mark for January
recruitment. We've received
heart warming letters from
true fraternalists who pledge
themselves to renewed, vigor'
Gus effort in the drive.
One such letter was from
bro. Joseph Frankovich, well
known Secretary of Mckees'
port, Pa, Lodge 25. Bro
Frankovich amassed tota
of 434 points in last years
campaign. He promises tt
continue this exemplary work
in the current drive. He ha:
two daughters, one II ane
one 13 years of age, ant
wants to help them affair
their quota of required points
for the honor of delegates t.
the 4th Junior Convention.
We are sure that the tw'

among the first to qualif.
for the high honor.

Church Highly Esteemed
Monsignor F; IS has been
Pastor of the Church since
1938-except for brief in
terlude when he took over
the pastorate of a New Jer-
sey Parish. Under his leader
ship the Church has made
very fine progress and he is
held in high esteem by his
parishioners.
st. Nicholas Greek Catho-
lie Church has been located
on it's present site at 36th
and Superior since 1913, and
it is one of two Croatian
Greek Catholic parishes in
America. The other is located
in Chicago and the pastorate
is held by Rev. V. Vancik.
Greek Catholics Defined
Because of the fact that
there are so few Croatian
Greek Catholics, and partly
because the parishioners of
st. Nicholas Church celebrat-
ed Christmas under the old
Julian calendar, up until a
few years ago, there are
many people who confuse
them with the followers of
the Orthodox faith.
The Greek Catholic Church
is really a Catholic Church
and it differs from the Ro-
man, or Western Church,
only in the Rite. Actually,
a better designation for those
who embrace the Gree k
Catholic Faith would be
"Catholics of the Byzantine
Slavonic Rite" or Catholics
of the Greek Rite"
This latter designation,
however, would be just as
misleading as "Greek Catho-
lic," because the liturgy of
the Greek Catholic Church
is written in the old Slavonic
language, rather than in the
Greek.
The Church and Rite were
founded by SITS. Cyril and
Method, whose mother was
a Slav but whose father was
a Greek-and the designation
of Greek Catholic" stemmed
from the fact that the Church
founders were of Greek De-
scent.
Re: Gregorian Calendar
The use of the old Slavonic
language in the liturgy of the
Greek Catholic Church dates
back to it's original founding
and the right to the use of
the old Slavonic language
has been confirmed by the
Popes on numerous occasions,
Several years ago st. Mich.
olas Church adopted the
Gregorian Calendar for de-
termining the date when
Christmas was to cele'
brated, but this change was
not general with all Greek
Catholics. But the lumber
cani in Cleveland now OBJ
serve Christmas on the 25tf
of December.
We strayed from our origi
nal subject-dedic" ton O.

readers will not mind thi!
depression into a history o
the Church.

THIS IS GARY!
Host, July 2-3-4, 1858
Fourth Junior Convention

At the turn of the century,
crickets chirped and lizards
left their odd three-tracked
trail through the sands and
swamps of what is now Gary,
Indiana. Only a few traders
and missionaries, among them
Father jacques Marquette, had
ever visited this southern-most
end of Lake Michigan.
Six brief years later found
the same spot a beehive of
activity. The huge job of con-
structing a steel mill and a
town to house and care for the
hundreds of workmen and
their families had begun. En-
gineers from the United States
Steel Corporation had dis
covered this an ideal place for
steel making because it was
right in the center of all the
raw materials needed and was
the crossroads for every man
ner of transportation.
Whole Nation Watched
The whole nation watched
as a new town was born.
Everything about Gary was
new and breatn-taking.
None of the old traditions
and methods were going to
hamper the planners and build
ers here. Streets were laid out,
lovely parks for every part of
the city were Incorporated into
the great dream. Schools
planned by William A. Writ
were twenty years ahead of
the times.
A stretch of waste land be-
came a town, and the early
settlers named it after Judge
Elbert H. Gary, Chairman of
the Board of the United States
Steel Corporation.
In Shadows Of Chicago
Location" was the reason
Gary was founded and why it
grew to have the largest steel
mill in the world.
To many people who came
here to live, location" meant
Lake Michigan with it's miles
of white sandy beaches, with
swimming, boating and fishing
at their best. 1t meant being
only thirty miles from all the
metropolitan a d v a n ages of
Chicago.
Later Gary's location be-
came famous to thousands of
tourists who visited the dunes
and picked the beautiful wild
flowers that grew SO abun-
dantly.
Indiana's No. 2 City
Gary was a city of young
people, people of every race,
country and creed, people
brave enough to pioneer" in
the new little town.
When, in the year 1906,
someone stopped for breath
long enough to take count,
there were 334 people living
here. Big as their dreams were,
they would have laughed if
anyone had prophesied that 4S
years later Gary would have
grown to become the second
largest city in the state, with
population in excess OF
100000!
Nor did anyone dream al
most five decades ago that
Gary would one day boast OF
being the home of the Croa.
