X AONDAY, November %, 1865, saw the
~ administration of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union come into new hands.
AS of that day, the Supreme Board
Members and other Officials reelected or
elected during the Society's 9Th National
Quadrennial Convention, held September
1926, 1865, at Philadelphia, took office
for four-year terms and settled down
to the business of running the Nations
No. | Croat organization.
Running so immense Society as the
Croatian Fratcrnal Union is both a privi-
lege and challenge & constant challenge
in view of the stiff competition the Society
faces from all sides in its field.
But we feel in all sincerity that those
elevated to office during the Philadelphia
Convention are up to it, and will prove
themselves worthy of leadership.
Certainly they can do no less

A Splendid Idea

\h/E are pleased to note that the Gro
w attain Fraterna Union will play an
important role in the staging of the Pitts
burgh FESTIVAL of Nations" June 9-1O,
1856, in the Syria Mosque
Plans call for the lower floor of the
Mosque to be devoted to booths display
ing handcraft and artisanship for which
each nationality is noted, and for por-
ton of the Exhibition Hall to house res
taurant booths selling nationality dishes
and favOrite foods.
Still other planning includes strolling
musicians, dancers and singing groups cir
culating through the exhibition area. per-
forming for the pleasure of the diners. Each
will wear the costume of his (her) native
country. Which should be something to see
X 4
Nineteen Pittsburgh nationality groups
are expected to participate in the Festival
Of Nations,' first of its kind ever under
taken in this city.
They are: = American, Bulgarian, Car
patho-Russian, Chinese Croatian, German,
Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Lebanese,
Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Scottish, Ser
bian, Slovak, Slovenian and Ukrainian
Quite an array of people.
Credit for coming up with this splen-
did idea must so to Duquesne University,
Pittsburgh, which has already selected
FIR. John Schlicht, c. S. Sp., to serve as
Festival Director.
The Executive Board of the Croatian
Fratcrnal Union voted some weeks ago to
have the Society represented in the Festi-
val Committee on Arrangements.
A similar move was made November 27
last by the Croatian Fraternal Unions
Western Pennsylvania United Lodges, the
largest such grouping of Lodges within the
framework of the Society.
If all other nationality groups are TAX
ing like steps at this early date, then Pitts
burghs FESTIVAL of Nations June 9-10,
1856, should be thrilling.

fused to carry out their duty
by voting on time.
However, in the run-off
election which we are now
forced to conduct, and for
which ballots have already
been mailed to the delegates
after the election, we will an
nounce the names of all del
egates who will not vote, so
that the members of their
lodges may know that their
representatives did not see
fit to adhere to the oath
which they gave at the Ninth
Convention in Philadelphia,
to faithfully discharge my
duties as a delegate of this
Convention, in accordance
with the Bylaws of the Cro-
atian Fraternal Union. So
help me God"
1t will then be up to the
members of those lodges to
compel such delegate to an
swer for his negligence.
Must Discharge Duties
! In one instance, the post
office advised that one del
egate refused to accept the
registered letter in which the
Supreme Office forwarded his
ballot for the last election.
That should not have ta-
ken place, and evidently that
delegate did not understand
the Importance of the voting,
so we will give him the bene-
fit of the doubt and not take
any action.
If there is any delegate
who for any reason what
ever does not wish to rep
resent his membership dur
ing the next four years in
deciding matters pertinent
to the Society's business,
when that is required of
him, let him notify the Su-
preme Office, whereupon
his alternate will be en-
powered as delegate until
the next convention.
We urge all of you, sisters
and brothers, delegates, to
register your vote for one
candidate, and to return your
ballots to the Supreme Office
within the prescribed time.

Camden Membership In
Varied Plans For 1856

Camden, n. j. - "Danica"
IC.F.U. Lodge 760 held their
first annual dinner on No
vember 21, 1855.
The affair was the first of
a series of social events
planned for the coming year
to encourage more Croatians
in the Camden area to join
the lodge and participate in
the planned proceedings.
The dinner was held at
Compton's Log Cabin, and
gave dinner chairman Antho-
ny M. Bezich an opportunity
to welcome back Louis Vido-
vich from the service. Louis
was honorably discharged
from the U. S. Air Force.
Other social events sched-
uled are a card party, theater
mite, bowling, basketball mite,
kolo lessons and a bingo mite.
Our December meeting will
be devoted to the election of
officers for 1856, but the
January meeting will be fol-
lowed by a card party. The
Arrangements Committee in
cludes Katherine S C h u d t,
Emily Stipcevich, John Opa-

quently the program were de-
layed over an hour because
the bakery which was prepar-
ing the turkeys was that
much behind schedule. The
added waiting time was well
spent by everyone in a spirit
of cammaraderie.
We personally utilized the
opportunity to meet with the
many eager, earnest frater-
nalists who were carrying out
the various assignments
which go with such a huge
affair. We hesitate to name
them for fear of inadvertant-
ly ommitting someone's name.
We can say however that
the organization in general
and the individual lodges
and nests in particular can
well be proud of this con-
scientiOus corps of workers
who always answer the call
of duty.
+ We met there again, and
naturally busy and working,
all of the Detroit delegates
whom we had seen only a few
weeks before at Philadelphia.
We saw also those who had
attended the 4th Junior Con-
vention in Gary. Yes, we met
these and the hundreds of
others who came as true fra
ternalists to mark the ami
versary Of four decades of
profitable juvenile activity
within the organization.
Croat Attire Startling
The time for the banquet
did arrive and before we all
sat down to a copious meal
Rev. Stefanac of the local
Croatian R O m an Catholic
church invoked Gods bless
ings, Father Stefanac deliv-
cred a stirring address later
on in the program.
The program itself began
with the singing of the Anne
rican and Croatian Anthems
by Rose Marie Giovanelli, ac-
companied by the Balkan Ca
valiers Tamburitzans. Then
Betty Joyce Filipac rendered
a Chopin piano selection and
very ably so. After that,
beauteous Marlene Vidusic
lregaled us with her accordion
artistry.

fraternal benefit Society chartered in the
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania.

one thing: - An organization housing en-
tirely too many passive members for it's
own good. The next stop, retrogression.
And after that, the end of the line.
To combat this passive attitude, the
Croatian Fraternal Union some time ago
went into the business" of filming its in
ner workings and activities.
1t has since produced for membership
consumption two such films, both 16mm
sound, technicolored productions we'll worth
screening by Lodges, Nests and Central
Committees of the Society.
The first carries the title This Is Your
Croatian Fraternal Union!' It's running
time is slightly under one hour.
Shown are the various Departments
of the Home Office at Pittsburgh, to-
gether with the work processed by each;
the Gary Ind, Junior Order Nest 10
Summer School, the ringing answer to
Juvenile delinquency; and life at our Chill
drens Home in Des PIaines Illinois.
Narrated in the English language, This
Is Your Croatian Fraternal Union" tells
a moving story of a great multi-million
dollar organization founded in 1894 by
handful of immigrants who had faith in
themselves and their new country, the
United States of America.
If this film doesn't make the viewer all
the more proud of his membership in the
Croatian Fraternal Union, then nothing
under the sun ever will.
The other film takes less than 80 min
utes to run off and, to repeat, is 16mm,
sound technicolored production narrated
in the English language.

into eternity.
During this most outstanding year of 1865, the Soci
ETY. reapcd rich harvest of rateal consciousness. The
wear served as the vehicle renewal enthusiasm

and Victor Shubat, member
Dominion of Canada.
In addition to all members
of the Executive Board, the
meeting was attended by the
newly-elected Legal Counse-
lor, Brother Edward B. Ser
vov, newly-elected members
of the Supreme Trial Board
Brothers Joseph Zalac and
Lawrence Delost, as well
as delegates from Pittsburgh
and vicinity, as follows: STAN
ko Zeleznjak, Paul Perisic,
Joseph Rukavina, Frank Be-
Ger, Ivan Mavrovic, Martin
Mlinaric and Stephen Sipko-
vich.
After appointment Of
judges, it was determined
that 303 ballots were re-
ceived. That means that 8
delegates did not vote in
this run-off election.
In the first run-off held
one month earlier, and in
which three members of the
Trial Board were elected, 81
delegates voted, that is, a
ballot was returned to the
Supreme Office by each dele
gate.
We emphasized at that
time, that it is an honor to be
a delegate of the Society be-
tween conventions, to repre-
sent ones lodge or lodges,
and to help decide, by free
and secret ballot, questions of
vital Importance in the work
and operation of the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
For that reason, it was un-
fortunate to have to estab-
lish that 8 member-delegates,
representatives of our mem
bership, did not consider it
their duty to cast their bal
lots in the last run-off, and
thus decide who the fifth
member of the Supreme Trial
Board shall be for the en-
suing four years.
Cast 294 Valid Ballots
Of 3O3 ballots received, 2
were void, because the dele
gates voted for both candi'
dates, despite the fact that
the ballot carried the legend
,, in heavy type: "Vote for only
one" Seven ballots were
blank. That shows that Z
representatives of our mem
bership did not vote for one
or the other candidate.
A total of 294 valid votes
were cast, with the result
that Brothers Belanic and
Shubat each received the
same number of votes, 147.
! None of us expected that,
so there is nothing left to
be done but hold another
run-Off election between
these two candidates.
We appeal to all our dele
gates with the utmost urgen
cy not to neglect their duty
and to vote by sending il
their ballots on time. All bal
lots bearing a December 24tf
postmark or earlier will b.
considered valid.
Story OF A Single Vote
In the last balloting, tht
last date for mailing the bal
lots was November 25th.
The Special Meeting wa:
held two days later, and thu
day after the meeting, we re
ceived one ballot, which wa:
mailed November 25th, from
a delegate living six mile:
from the Supreme Office O:
the Society.
Had this lone ballot ar
rived sooner, a new run-off
election would not have
