Plan
Hif in Damascus

A new zoliing ordinance being
prepared for Upper Montgomery
County may vary sharply in re-
quirements for lot sizes from
election district to election dis
trict.
This appeared probable as
planning consultant Irving C.
Root saw his proposals for the
Damascus election district hit
last night by residents of the
area.
Some 80 persons turned out for
the meeting and voiced unani-
nous opposition to Mr.. Roots
proposals for lot size require
Iments of two acres anc five acres
for most of the area.
The meeting was a repeat per-
formance of opposition voiced at
q hearing by the County Council
in October when about 500 resi-
dents opposed the agricultural
zone with its 5-acre minimum
lot size.
Damascus area residents urged
that the coming ordinance permit
establishment of one-half acre
lots throughout the election dis
trict.
Mr.. Root has been retained by
the County Council and the Up-
per County Planning Commits
sion to prepare q coming map
and ordinance for the rural area
that includes commercial. in
dustriaI and residential zones. In
1928 Mr.. Root, who lives in
Chevy Chase, drafted the first
coming ordinance for the lower
county under sponsorship Of the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Mr.. Root indicated last night
that he will take to the PLAN

RICHMOND, Nov. 40 ,R.
The constitutional convention
bill written by the State Com
mission on Public Education was
being overhauled today in prep
Aration for submission to the
November 80 special session OF
the Virginia General Assembly
Informed sources say that al
though the bill is being stream
lined, its original purpose has
not been altered. The measures s
goal is to revise Section l4l
Of the Virginia Constitution in
such a way that public funds
can be legally used to pay the
tuition Of children attending
non-sectarian private schools.
The commissions original
draft Of the bill didn't pin the
convention down to Section l4l,
although it implied this limita-
tion. The revised version. it is
understood, would explicitly
limit the changes to this Sec
ton.
Some members of the Legisla-
tlre had questioned the actual
scope Of the proposed constitu-
tional convention and whether 1t
would indirectly weaken or un-
dermine Section 129. The latter
states in so many words that the
State must establish and main
tain an efficient system Of free
public schools throughout vir-
ginia.
The special session Of the Leg
islature which gets underway q
week from tomorrow may not
last more than three or four
days.

recommendations he receives
from residents of each election
district. The result is likely to
be that some districts, such as
the Potomac -Darnestown area,
may have minimum lot sizes ex-
ceeding the one-haf acre desired
by the Damascus district.
Mr.. Root had suggested one
half acre lots only in and around
the present town of Damascus
and in other smaller comnnuni-
ties in the election district,
He proposed minimum lot sizes
of two acres along main roads
Such lots would be $50 feet wide
and 500 feet deep.

To Each His Own

TWO Candidates for Delegate to the So
ciety's 9th Quadrennial Convention in
September at Philadelphia have learned the
hard way that it doesn't pay to attempt to
put a man down in the gutter unless you
are prepared to stay there with him.
Out of one family, but Candidates Of
different Lodges, these hopefuls waged
intensive propaganda battles against fel
low members not to their liking and were
defeated in both instances.
Their weapon" old hat by now: The
phony issue of Communism. 1t didn't work.

Some people, of course, never will learn.
Others do learn and profit.
In this case. both of the defeated Can
didates knew = know that COmmu-
nism and the Croatian FraternaI Union
have nothing whatsoever in common.
And still they couldn't resist the tempta-
ton of going against their own common
sense.
We can only feel sorry for them and
their scattered likes and 90 on to hope
that in defeat this year they learned that
name calling is a risky business,

there lies political issue The Peron gov

was to prevent the molestaton of religious

Thomas r. Balaban

THE Croatian Fraternal Union will pay
! public tribute Saturday evening, June
25, to one of its younger members who
earlier in the year made good on state
wide political level.
To he honored at a Testimonial Ban
auet in the Pittsburgher Room OF Hotel
William Penn is bro. Thomas X. Balaban,
former General Counsel of the Society
and now First Deputy Insurance Com
missioner of the Commonwealth OF Penn
sylvania.
Tickets for this Banquet are still avail
able and may be obtained by phonlng the
Home Office of the Croatian Fraternal
Union. Simply dial MU 2-4470.

In his own words bro. Balaban owes
no little of his rise to prominence in Penn
sylvanias political circles to his member
ship in the Croatian Fraternal Union and
wears of serving it in the all-important
capacity of its General Counsel.
1t was through the good offices of the
Society that bro Balaban was first brought
to the serious attention of the present
Democratic state administration OF Penn
svlvania - only meet and just that he be
appointed in turn as First Deputy lnsur-
ance Commissioner in long overdue public
recognition of the fact that the Croatlan
Fraternal Union is the largest fraternal
benefit society chartered in the State.
That he was so honored by Governor
George nj. Leader is of lasting credit to
one and all who take pride in the fact
that they are Americans of Croat descent
and affiliated with the greatest fraternity
of its kind anywhere in the world.
We trust this pride will manifest itself
many times over Saturday, June %!

Our Summer Camp

\A/E are pleased to note for the record
w that everything is in readiness for
the opening Tuesday, July 5, on the campus
of our Children's Home at Des Plaines'
Illinois, of the Croatian Fraternal Unions
7th Annual Junior Summer Camp.
While the cost of just about every
thing under the sun has skyrOcketed
since the first such encampment was held
back in 1949, the fee for this years Sum
mer Camp remains the same: 5000 for
stay entailing two weeks, Sl5 for one.
Transportation costs to and from Des
PLANES must be paid by the camper
X
We cannot recommend this Summer
Camp too strongly - or often enough.
Nowhere in America or Canada can
parents find a Camp stay costing anywhere
near that set by the Croatian Fraternal
Union seven years ago and retained through
the years to this day.
And no similar encampment can
match the Croatian Fraternal Unions
Summer Camp in the matter of offering
program of wholesome, diversified acti-
vties geared to keep the camper, regard
less of age, so happily occupied as to rue
the day when he must return home.
If you are in position to do So by all
means send your boy or girl to the Societys
7th Annual Summer Camp at Dcs PLANES.
You cannot possibly regret that you ever
made the move, for every dollar will be we'll
spent many times over.

Our Board Of Directors,
our children and l can say
only this: Thank you, Walter,

May the good Lord give you

All the luck, Waldo!
On April 10 our dear guests
were in Gary, Indiana. They
presented an affluent, artisti-
cally selected program. We
did not go to Gary for we
were tired from the night be-
fore, but we would have gone
to Chicago even if we were
not invited.
However, Mr.. Anthony Mu-
selin from Chicago, a former
member of the Duquesne
Tamburitzans, and a close col
laborator of Duquesne, sent
us fifteen tickets for the con-
cert given by the Tamburit-
zans Sunday, April II, at the
Eighth Street Theatre in
Chicago.
In the accompanying letter
he said if we needed some
more tickets. he would be too
glad to send them to us be-
cause he wants our children
to be there and enjoy the
concert. Mr.. Muselin appoint
ed a certain committee to
meet our children and to
show them to their reserved
seats.
For all this we thank Mr..
Muselin and his assistant bro
thcr V. Biskupich from the
depths of our hearts. and if
we ever can return the favor
we will be only glad to do so.
Sitting in comfortable
chair and watching the pro-
gram | was SO deeply i'm
pressed that various thoughts
circled through my head. One
of them was the fact that
these young men and women,
although far from Croatia,
are propagating our songs
and our language in this dis
tant world, and then l said to
myself: Croatia, you shall not
perish, and you, America, will
gain a great deal! And this is
fact because the Duquesne
Tamburitzans say: Croatia
has not perished yet and
long live America

Greater Than Ever

0UR fellow members will have many
~ reasons as time goes by to remember
1855 as one of the greatest years in the his
tory of the Croatan Fraternal Union.
Morally and materially, the first six
months Of 1855 have been extremely good"
to the Society in so many ways that we
cannot recall their productive equal in the
sixteen 16) years we have served at the
Home Office, first as a Clerk through 1947
and since then as the English Editor of the
Organizations Official Organ.
In other words, we speak from a
wealth of experience when we say that
the Croatian Fraternal Union is today en-
joying unprecedented prosperity and fa-
ces a future rife with the promise of even
greater progress - if peace prevails in
it's midst.
Repeat: - IF PEACE PREVAILS!
Now, let us review but two Of the rea-
sons why this year should be remembered
by one and all sincerely interested in the
Croatian Fratcrnal Unions welfare.
1 - Behind it is Special Membership
Campaign which ran from January 1 thru
May 81 and enriched the Society by 1858
new adult and juvenile members and saw
2,1S7 10000 entered in its records as rep
resenting the amount of new insurance
written in that short span of time.
2 - Ahead of it is the SOciety's 4th
National Junior Convention, which is to
be held July 2-3-4 in Gary Indiana, and
attended by 1873 Junior and Honorary
Senior Delegates to make it the second
largest such gathering since 1899.
3 = In between stands sandwched the
fact that the Croatian Fraternal Union as
of May 81 could point to II 1922 adult and
34,335 juvenile members for grand total
Of LOG, ,157 members and boast of being at
the greatest membership level in it's history,
which dates back to the year 1894
Surely this should serve to warm your
heart and deepen your pride in being a
member of the 23rd largest fratcrnal order
on the North American Continent
x X
There can be one more reason for all
OF us to remember 1855, not with bitterness,
but with grateful appreciation for an al
ways difficult task well done"
We speak of the Socety's 9th National
Quadrennial Convention, which is to take
place in September at Philadelphia and be
attended by 81 Delegates from the United
States and Canada.
If this Convention meets in an atmos-
phere of goodwill, relies on common
sense and steers absolutely clear of all
phOny issues - if the Delegates thereto
elect an Administration given lock, stock
and barrel to FraternaIism i'm the unpre-
dictable years ahead - then 1855 will
have been God send to every one of us.
Anything less than this can only result
III divided membership smcaring and ha-
tired, and bring the Society to the brink of
what would represent fraternal fratricide
Who among us can afford to indulge in
such a luxury" and live with himself for
the rest Of his life? Believe us - no one,
Let us not forget this as we approach
our oh Quadrennial Convention.
