Some so 90 kids take part in the games and

I'm told this is the wrong approach since
parents should be encouraged and codded They
should be approached tactfully in order to make them

Speeders will be prone to expect
leniency and their anxiety will COM
pei them to talk it over with the judge
at times other than those designated
for Mayors Court.
Certainly the duties of holding
court are worth far more than S4OO
annually; however, the suggested
raise from 500 per year is valid and
worthy Of any action taken by the
Board.
II the raise were accompanied by
strict ruling that none of the cases
would be aired until court began it
would relieve some of the rather dis
gushing aspects of serving as mayor.
Everyone has an opportunity to pre-
sent his side in court and once should
be plenty for anyone a mayor
agrees to serve the town. Rendering
service and permitting an imposition
should be kept separate . In other
words, lay off the mayor. You'll get
fair and impartial hearing without
the added refresher course.

exists.
New buildings are an asset to the
community but there should be limit
on the price paid by those who are
victims of circumstances.
When people interested in the
growth and promotion of Tabor City
must bear the brunt of lack of con-
sideration, then we have lost our sense
of direction.
We cannot favor discrimination of
any sort: however, it doesn't seem fair
to sit idly and watch persons disin-
tereSted in our town take advantage
of those who not only make their
livelihood here but contribute to the
various worthy projects with their
time and money.
One new building in town isn't
worth creating disharmony among
merchants.
Proper authorities should take &C
ton to prevent any measures designed
to create hardship on the majority.
Today is late enough to begin that
action

II you figure 1t close enough there are times when
citizens Use policemen Tor messenger boys That's
what it amounts to when policemen investigate thefts,
talk with the accused and finally get a confession

II someone is stealing you blind and you're interested
enough to bother the police then you should have
respect enough for the laws to them obeyed

weather has not been such that
I have found Il chilly enough
to literally cover up. but at

All this staying away from

of the eth of July deep sea

Cameron gave me. lie went a
long on the trip and took three
pills too. And either that or
something kept us both in good
health.
But what has turned out to
be even more embarrassing
than the sea sickness is a cou-
pie of really blistcrcd lips. It's
the first time i'm memory that
anything like this has happen

along IL grew to gigantic pro-

every recommended remedy,
little improvement has been
noted yet.
One thing about sea sickness.
when you get your feet back

are well and happy again. This
biistered lip business gets you
so self-conscious that you are
ashamed to even sec your wife.

he went fishing out of South

Big Business

\A/E have just finished studying the In
w stitute of Life Insurance statistics
for 1854 must reading in every organi-
cation or company in the business.
Among other things, all engrOssing
these statistics show that there were
229,O51 900 policies, or certificates, on
the books at the end of last year, con-
tracts calling for the payment, in time,
of S3O4 259, 100000.
This could only lead to further break
down of the figures to show that the av-
erage American family was carrying $500
in life insurance in 1854
New York proved in 1854 to be the most
insurance minded" of all the 48 States
with 24,O23, 900 policies and $40,742, 100000
insurance protection in force.
Pennsylvania, home of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, was second in this re-
spect with 21,17S,OOO policies and S25,
l4O,OOO,OOO insurance in force, while Illi-
nOis finished third with Is, 10000 poll
cies and S22, 1O3, 100000 insurance.
AS life insurance ownership rose in
1854, policy reserves also increased to
ST, 100, 100000 nationally. And total assets
held to secure this protection increased to
S84, 2OO,OOO,OOO
The assets were up to $500, 900 900 in
1854, reflecting that much new capital
made available for the economic welfare of
millions of American citizens
1t is good to know these things, good to
know that the Croatian Fraternal Union
is part of this picture.
You might care to remember as much
during its 1855 Membership Campaign.

Still Critical

X hANY members of the Croatian Frater-
w nal Union have for years helped rela-
tives and friends in Yugoslavia through the
agency in the world.
Last week CARE administrators an
nounced that conditions have so i'm
proved in parts of Western Europe as to
make it unnecessary after April 8, 1855,
for the agency to ask the American peo-
pie to send packages of food, ETC., to
certain nations.
Listed by CARE as greatly improved"
and no longer in line for special orders from
America are Britain, Belgium, Austria,
Luxembourg, Norway, France, Holland and
West Germany Berlin, on the other hand,
will continue to receive packages.
X
Remaining on CARES still critical
areas list are Yugoslavia, Italy Greece,
Finland and other parts where American
help is desperately needed.
Yugoslavia's plight is familiar to many
of our readers, particularly those whose
relatives and friends overseas have de-
scribed in pathetic letter form the terrible
conditions brought Oh by three consecutive
years of devastating droughts.
To alleviate suffering there, CARE
made it clear last week that Yugoslavia
will continue to remain within it's full pro-
gram of food, textile packages and "sclf-
help supplies of tools and medicinal
needs, items soreIy needed by thousands
in that unhappy land.
We were glad to hear as much and pass
the information along to interested men,
bers of the Croatian Fraternal Union -
men and women who put compassion for
needy people above biased consideration
for Yugoslavia's political leaders.
Evidently those behind CARE entertain
a like feeling of brotherliness.

Port Workers Set Record
Last month the port work
ers set a monthly record of
unloading 10000 tons. In
1854 a yearly record of un-
loading 2,029,28S tons of in
ternational cargo and 100000
tons of local cargo was set,
compared with the planned
goal of 1,45O, 900 tons, M.
Ardas added.
"This is a regenerated new
city," he continued. "Not
more than rs per cent Of the
old inhabitants are here. The
Italian speaking population
once was great, but now we
have a mixture of Serbs,
Croats and others, including
even 5000 Montenegrins."
At present, said M. Ardas,
the harbor capacity is suffi-
cient for Yugoslavia as we'll
as Czechoslovakia, Hungary,
and Austria, which have
shown an interest in reviving
the free port that existed
here in Austrian Empire
days. A Yugoslav commission
has been working on a mod
ernization project for three
months and it's report is due
shortly.
The Mayor said Rijeka
actually was several miles
shorter in rail distances to
Vienna and Budapest than
Trieste and that goods i'm
ported at the latter city had
to cross the Yugoslav frontier
anyway.
A main highway has been
finished connecting Rijeka
with Zagreb. 1t cuts through
the Dinaric Alps and was q
major engineering feat for
the YugosIavs.
Airlines connections exist
with Zagreb, Ljubljana and
Graz, Austria. There are
plans for double-tracking the
rail lines emanating from the
city. A new auto road is be-
ing built down the Dalmatian
coast.

FrafernaIs Are
Community Asset
Societies Should
Make Selves Known

Fraternal societies are an
important asset to the cities
in which their home offices
are located. They employ
thousands of skilled officers
and personnel who are assets
to any community.
Their home offices are an
ornament to any city and it
is safe to say that the societies
can be counted on to aid when
aid is needed. The numerous
home office buildings, which
are scattered from Moncton,
New Brunswick, to Portland,
Oregon, are impressive evil
dences of the strength of the
fraternal insurance system.
They also are important finan-
cial factors in many cities.
The entire setup is an asset
along material and morale
lines. This is largely because
of the altruistic character of
their work and because of the
type of men and women en-
gagged in fraternal insurance.
The Fraternal Monitor
