In Appreciation

ME- have been asked time and again
w since the recent conclave what con-
tributed the most to the harmony which
marked the Croatian Fraternal Unions 9th
National Quadrennial Convention.
We would answer that by saying that
the frmness of certain men prevailed
over the desire of others to take to the
Convention floor and fill the air with full
minations based on wishful thinking and
uttered with lying tongue.
Not that some didn't want to throw the
Convention into an uproar = no matter
what the cost to the Society. We know bet
ter than that. Far far better.
Now, let us give credit where credit is
due for that harmonious Convention.
Weeks before the convening of the con-
clave we met personally and privately with
Supreme President bro. V. |. Mandich and
asked him, as man to man, if he would per-
nit any Delegate, or Delegates, to indulge
in smears. character assassina tions, etc,
from the floor
He gave us his word of honor that if
he was to preside as the Chairman moth
ing of the sort would come to pass no
matter what the cost to him in the end.
Bro Mandich kept his word, for which
we for one, are deeply grateful
Grateful not because we feared anything
personally. Not for one moment No, CRATE
full because he contributed to the feeling
of the great majority of the Delegates that
the Croatan Fraternal Union is bigger
than any one man or group of men, no
matter what their ambition.
And we say this in spite of the fact
that bro Mandich and the English Editor
of the Zajednicar were on opposite sides of
the fence during the 9th Convention. 80,
But 1909 agreed on the Society! -

Croats Steal Spotlight
One feature that was en-
joyed by all members of the
Congress was the entertain
ment that was provided un-
der the auspices of the CFU
for the Convention Banquet.
This entertainment was
by the famed Cleveland
Kolo Aces and the Plavi
Jadran Tamburitza orches-
ira. Their music, dancing

Up To S1O,OOO.OO

THE Societys Membership Campaign
| Field Workers of the future will be in
far better position to offer adult life insur-
ance protection without equal in the ma
tional fraternal field.
Provision for this was made by the
Delegates to the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on's 9th National Quadrennial Conven-
ton, held September 1926 last at Phil
adelphia when they authorized the fu-
ture issuance of adult certificates in the
maximum amount of S1O,0OO.0O.
The present such ceiling is pegged at
S5,OOOO0 under Section 233 (c) Of the By
Laws, but this will no longer be in effect on
and after December / 1855.
X X
In setting the new adult insurance
maximum at S1O,OO0OO, the Delegates to
it's 9th Convention gave the Society bet
ter, much stronger foothold in its field
The prosperous times and the roseate
outlook of continued economic stability
dictated that those in position to do so be
offered Croatian Fraternal Union protec-
ton at it's very best.
This does not mean that long lines Of
applicants for the S1O,0O0.0O maximum
will form as of December | next. The
"weII heeled" just aren't that plentiful.
But it will open the door to those who
can pay for the protection; those whose
source Of income is such as to make the
future security of their families as sound
as humanity possible
Equally as important was the Conven-
ton decision to increase from 100000 to
S5OOO00 the maximum adult protection a.
vailable without medical examination to
present day or prospective members be-
tween the ages of 16 to 40 years.
The Society's experience with non
medical business of the past has been
so excellent as to make the new increase
to S5,OOOOO, effective December l, 1855,
practical from every standpoint.
Further, it represents still another sell
ing point" which can be used to good ad-
vantage both during and between Member
ship Campaigns of the Society, drives which
are as important to the Croatian Fraternal
Union as anything else in its day to day
struggle to remain strong and great.
Finally, those who want the best in life
insurance protection, and are eligible for
it. will soon find the Croatian Fraternal
Union pleased to accommodate them in
every respect. And when we say the best,
we invite comparisons.
Which is only becoming the worlds
largest such organization of Croats.

and they made quite a hit
with the fraternalists who
attended the banquet of the
Ohio Fraternal Congress.
The music by the tambur-
itza orchestra, likewise, was
pleasing and entertaining to
the audience.
This entertainment was
billed as being under the
auspices of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, and was
arranged through my eff
forts at the suggestion of
brother Skrtic.
I would like to publicly
compliment the "Kolo Aces"
and the "Plavi Jadran" or
chestra for presenting this
fine entertainment and thus
reflecting favorably not only
on themselves but on the
CF'U as well.

Ohio's Congress has 81
societies represented in its

ond only to Pennsylvania ir

Matter Of Record

DUBLIC resentment against the more
! discriminatory parts of the highly con-
troversial McCarran-Walte Act has been
such that Senate Committee is scheduled
to conduct an open hearing in mid -Novem-
ber pertaining to revision of the law.
We have long maintained, and said as
much on these pages, that this Act rep
resents threat to everything America
stands for in the eyes of free men.
Former President Harry S. Truman saw
fit to veto the McCarran-Water Act when
it came before him as the Nations Chief
Executive, but Congress decided to over
ride him in spite of the then Presidents
open resentment against the statute.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower him
self said - 1--WE must have decency and
fairness among all our citizens. We must
repeal, for example, the unfair provisions
of the McCarran-Walte Act"
Who would hint that the Messrs Tru-
man and Eisenhower are un-American be-
cause of their opposition to this law?
The McCarran-Walter Act was dis
cussed at the last semi-annual meetings of
the Croatian Fraternal Unions Supreme
Board. On March 26, 1855, Supreme Presi-
dent bro. V. l. Mandich moved:
That letter of appeal be formulated
for revision Of the McCarran-Walter Act
as pertains to the Objectionable sections
Of the law which discriminate against
Croatian and other Central and South
European nationalities." Supreme Board
Member Nikola Borich of Luzerne, Pa,
seconded the motion and it was passed
without dissent.
To the best of our knowledge, no such
letter of appeal has been drawn up since it
was so ordered on March 26, 1865.
X X
In the July q, 1855, issue of the Ia
jednicar the English Editor of these pages
asked the Delegates to the Societys 9th
Quadrennial Convention at Philadelphia to
go on record as urging Congress to repeal
the McCarran-Walter Act.
On September "a, 1855, Delegate Will
liam Boyd of Phoenix, Arizona Lodge 978
arose on the Convention floor to deliver
a stirring talk against the Act. Although
he strongly favored repeal of the law, he
finally moved that the Convention go on
record as standing for a revision of the
Objectionable sections of the statute.
The Convention vote to do so was
unanimous. We failed to see dissenting
hand from our vantage point; nor heard
of anyone who wanted recorded in the
Official Minutes as opposing the motion.
If we did, we could hardly say other
wise for publication on these pages
X
In view of the public sentiment against
this Act, the opposition of the Messrs.
Truman and Eisenhower to it, the March,
1855, Supreme Board and September, 1855,
Convention aversion to it, we would make
the following recommendation:
That the Croatian Fraternal Union be
represented by competent observer at
the open hearings to be conducted in re-
gard to revising the McCarranWalter
Act and held at Washington in mid-No-
vember and that an unbiased report of
those hearings be published herein.
We feel, in all sincerity that this would
be carrying out the sentiment of the Dele
gates to the Croatan Fraternal Unions 9th
National Quadrennial Convention and serv-
ing the best interests of our fellow men,
hers throughout the Nation

1t was a pleasure for me
to represent the Croatian
Fraternal Union at this meet
ing in the company of broth
er Milan Skrtic of Campbell,
Ohio - the president-elect of
the CFU Board of Trustees.
The meetings were presi-
ded over by Mrs. Gertrude
Holtz of the Royal Neighbors
of America and one of the
most interesting features of
the 1855 sessions was the
Forum which was held on
Monday afternoon, October
10th, during which there was
a lively exchange of ideas on
"What the Junior Means to
a Fraternal Benefit Society,""
There is no doubt that
the Juvenile Department is
a very important topic of
discussion among all fra
ternals represented in the
Ohio Congress and it was
pleasing to note that our
own CrOatian Fraternal
Union is far ahead of ma
ny fraternals i'm this field.
During varied talks in this
Forum we heard of the diff
ficulties besetting many or
ganizations at the present
time in the promotion of their
juvenile departments, anc
while these difficulties are
ever present among all fra
ternals, it is a relief to note
that we have at least solved
some of the problems which
are now of concern to many
fraternals who are still new
to the juvenile field.
Very Informative Talks
A very interesting talk wa:
delivered by Mr.. Paul l.. My
hire, Associate Editor of thu
Cleveland News, who pointed
out that there is ever presen
in the world today threat t.
the freedom of the press. Mr.
Myhre also gave some inter
esting sidelights on the edit
ing and reporting in news
paper work.
We were also treated to ad
dresses by August Pryatel
Superintendent of Insurance
for Ohio, who is an American
,of Slovene extraction, b.
George H. Crowns, the Presi
dent of the National Frater
nal Congress, and also l..
