64390. If there are any chill
dren who wish to learn, and
they have their own instru-
ments - so much the better.
In either case, please get in
touch with Sister Morgan so
that we will be able to meet
with the instructor and decide
on the best time for the les
sons to begin.
Glee Club On Agendum
At the same time, we are
organizing a singing group
from Nest 318.
All children who are inter-
ested in joining a singing So
ciety composed of children
within their own age group
are urgently asked to get in
touch with the Nest Manager.
We will be sending out liter
ature on the date for rehear-
sails, so keep watching and
reading the Zsjednicar.
Those mothers with chill
dren in Nest 318 who are not
yet participating members of
the Mothers Club are urgent
ly requested to join. The more
active members we have, the
less burden on those who
are in the group.
We have big plans for
the coming season but need
every available member we
can get to help put these
plans across. We meet, as
in the past, on the first
Thursday of the month,
1880 PM, at the Lodge
351 Hall, 1875 E. McNich-
OILS Road.
So won't you please come
down and join us in outlining
activities and cultural work
for your children.

Greater Pitts 24th Annual Croat Day
To Be Event OF Saturday, September 3
Post-Croatian Day Reunion Will Be Held
Following Day In Rankin's Croatian Home

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Greater
Pittsburgh's Oath A n n u a |
Croatian Day will be held on
Saturday, September 3rd, at
Kennywood Park.
The Committee has compile
ted plans for another enter
tanning program which will
feature the Jadran Singing
Society of Aliquippa, Pa, the
Junior Tamburitzans of Nc
Keesport, and the popular
Radio and Recording Artists,
the Pozega Brothers Tambur-
itza Orchestra of Youngs-
town, Ohio.
Greater Pittsburgh's Gro
atian Day has a two-fold pur-
pose. Primarily, and essen
tally, the committee men and
women entrusted with the
plans for the day create an
added holiday for Croatians
from far and near.
There is no doubt that this
phase has been a tremendous
success from the standpoint
of attendance, as evidenced
by the huge crowds that lit
orally swarm into Kennywood
Park annually. Park officials
conservatively estimate that
over $4,000 people are attrac-
ted to Croatian Day each
year.
From Coast To Coast
Moreover, no expense is
spared in the committees eff
forts to bring to our people
on this day the finest enter
tainment available.
We have engaged tambur-
itza groups and well-known
talent from sunny California
to the bustling metropolis of
New York - from Pacific to
the Atlantic. There is, also,
no doubt that from an artistic
and entertainment standpoint
the day has proved a huge
success.
The committee, as stated
previously, has a two-fold
purpose in conducting Gro
attain Day. The second pur-
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1955-08-10

pose, equally important, is to
provide funds from which
continuing contributions can
be made to worthwhile civic
and charitable organizations.
The committee points with
pardonable pride to the over
$4,000 which has been dona-
ted during the past years to
such groups as the Service
mems Fund during World
War II, the CF'U Children's
Home Christmas Fund and
the Annual March of Dimes
campaigns.
Cooperation Necessity
The committee is anxious
to continue this public SER
vice; but, in order to do so,
we need your cooperation.
Contrary to popular opin-
ion, funds accruing to the
committee from the activities
at Kennywood Park provide
a relatively minor proportion
of the receipts required to
meet fixed expenses and 9TH
er costs in our budget.
That is why we have ex-
tended the affair to two days,
adding a concert and dance
! to the following evening, the
Post-Croatian Day Reunion
at the Rankin Croatian Hall.
1t is this event, that pro-
vides the funds from which
are betrayed our expenses
and from which contributions
can be made to those in need.
You can be an integral part
of this worthy adventure by
not only attending Croatian
Day at Kennywood Park on
Saturday, September 3rd, but
by also attending the Post
Croatian Day Reunion at the
Croatian Home, in Rankin.
Plan now to attend the oath
Annual Croatian Day at Ken
nywood Park and then join
us on Sunday, September 4th,
at the Croatian Home in
Rankin.

Though the hotel switch

structed to begin calling the
almost four score rooms oc-
cupied by the Croats in time
for them to meet the 9 O.
clock breakfast deadline,
there was little need for this
service. Those indefatigable
Croatians, young and old a
like, were stirring at an early
hour for this was D day, this
was the Convention day and
it was time to get up and
around. =.
Every meal was a social
function and the first break
fast, again in the Crystal
Ballroom, was a paragon Of
socio-fraternal a c h ievement.
There were by this time ab-
solutely no strangers. Each
table was a grouping of
friendly fraternalists, a true
cross section of the contin-
ent.
Robert Pavlic, junior dele
gate from Nest 27, Versailles,
Pa, was celebrating his birth
day. We all gladly sang Hap
py Birthday to him so this
most auspicious of days be-
gan on a most appropriate
note.
Mayor A ''Reglar Fella"
Immediately after this the
entire assemblage walked in
a body to the City Hall which
is only a few blocks away.
We were to take a group pho
to there.
AS we arrived we noticed
that some local people were
already on the spot. Amongst
them was the ever smiling
Chief Executive of the city,
Mayor Peter Mandich, as well
as Rev. Ardas, bro. Erbesti,
president of Lodge 10, and
sister Pauline Stotz, Nest 10
manager. Since we had to
wait a short while for the
photographer to assemble his
equipment the Mayor instruc-
ted his personal secretary,
sister Martha Woss, to take
us all on a tour of the build
ing.
After the photo was taken,
and it turned out to be an i'm
pressive one, we loaded onto
our chartered busses and
proceeded to the Croatian
Center. Everything was in
readiness here and little time
was lost in seating the assem-
bly,.
Convention Is Convened
In an air of solemnity, we
formally opened the Conven-
ton and then called upon Mrs.
Isabelle Arch, wife of the
CFU Supreme Medical Advi-

of the American and Croatian
National Anthems. There
upon we called upon Father
Ardas for the Invocation and
his blessings.

The Campaign-C Convention
Secretary, bro. Stephen F. Br-
kich, then called the roll of
delegates. 1t was indeed a STIR
ring scene watching the del
egates as they arose and
came forward to receive their
Convention folders and their
official accreditation.
A more heart warming
sight would be difficult to
duplicate for here again as
the geographical point of
origin was named one could
not help but feel a sense of
pride in our vast territorial
domain.
Next we introduced each
and every officer and official
of the organization. We read,
next, the official greetings
and message of felicitation
from the highest official of
the State Of Indiana, Cover
nor George N. Craig, to whom
we are most grateful for his
laudatory sentiments.
Our civic host and fellow
CFU member, Mayor Peter
Mandich, was then called up
on to address the Convention.
He did so in his inimitable
warm hearted and sincere
manner. He expressed pride
in his membership in the or
ganization and we are most
certain that each and every
one of us went away with a
great pride in our hearts in
the fact that the Union can
boast of such a fine gentle
man as one of it's members.
We had met Mayor Man
dich on a few occasions before
while making preparatory vi
sits to Gary and had been
convinced of his greatness
and sincerity at our very
first meeting. BY now his
name and fame must have
reached into every sector of
our jurisdiction for each del
egate became an avid Man
dich fan from the very be-
ginning.
Love Of Organization
Bro. V. I. Mandich as head
of the organization was then
called upon to respond in the
name of the Society which he
did in his typically competent
fashion.
Next we introduced and
called upon bro. Thomas Ba-
laban, the former CFU Cen
eral Counsel and now occupy
ing the very important post
in the government of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
MIA of LIST Deputy Insurance
Commissioner to greet the as
semblage. His talk and very
presence were an inspiration
to our CFU youth of what
love and devotion to the or
ganization can lead to.
After him were called the
leaders of the host units.

At this time the Steering
G o m m t t e e occupying the
,, stage with the aforemention-
ed. speakers executed it's func-
tional purpose by naming the
various OF h er committees
that were to- constitute the
Convention. Anna Mae Oluj-
vic of Nest SO, Clarion, Pa,
serving as secretary put into
being the various panels by
calling off the names of the
individual components.
Leaders Take Control
Heading the Convention as
Junior Chairlady was Gary's
own Valerie Stevens.
! Valerie incidentally h a d
been a delegate to the 3rd Ju-
nior Convention at Washing
ton, D. c., in 1850. She was
the first one to qualify for
this years conclave and with
her contagious smile, pleas
ing personality and, oh yes
! boys, let's not forget her good
looks, she was the ideal choice
for the post.
Her Co-Chairmen were the
tall, dark, handsome and 81
lent type, Max Pavesic of
Nest "a, Los Angeles, and
George, 1 am proud Canuck,
Kokich of Nest 631, Toronto,
Ont. The Vice-Chairman was
Donald Sever of the studious
appearance but of happy go
lucky spirit.
The Co-Vice Chairmen were
| Lucille Vlatkovich, the Cro-
atian Swede from Hibbing,
Mimi, and Paul Ban of St.
: Louis, Mo. Lucille shall go far
in the ranks of the CF'U for
she has good examples of
good fraternalists in her par
ents. Paul Ban, the dark,
handsome type made quite an
impression on us all and par
ticularly on the girls, no
doubt. That young, good
looking lady with him was
not his sister but his mother.
Secretary of the Conven-
ton was Vivian Marie Dub
cich, the pretty lass from
Campbell, California. Kenneth
Grohar was a good looking
Co-Secretary and with his yet
youthful mother, Bertha Gro
har, made an ideal mother
son Convention combination.
Rounding out this secretarial
trio was Mary Catherine Pa
Mich who with her mother,
Mary c. Homes, a Senior Hon.
orary delegate, made another
proud family team.
This Convention leadership
was sworn in by bro. Brkich
who then read the proposed
Order of Business which was
formally adopted. This con-
cluded the agendum for the
morning and recess was call
ed for luncheon.
Nest Managers In Meet
After a copious and tasty
luncheon prepared right at
the Croatian Center by the
Mothers Club the afternoon
session was called to order.
It was a torrid afternoon!
The schedule called for mo-
vies by U. S. Civil Defense
Authority but instead of the
movies a speaker was sent to

We have shown a steady growth
in our firm every year since it
was started and this year has
been our best year OF all.
"Our business has grown be-
cause of the patronage of the
people plus the fact that engin-
