Junior Bonuses

COR a refreshing change, all Managers of
the Society's Junior Order Nests will be
informed on these pages next week as to
Bonus standings.
The change lies in the fact that every
Manager will know in advance how he or
she Jared i'm this matter last year and be
so advised before the Junior Department
mails Bonus checks i'm the month of
March to those qualified for an Award.
Previously, these Conservation Award
Bonus standings were usually published in
the Ia jednicar about the same time the
Managers were receiving checks.
X X
We feel this change will be for the bet
ter for a number of good reasons.
For one, a Manager will be able to call
the Home Offices attention to any possible
error in his or her standing before checks
are drawn and mailed out.
For another Managers failing, say,
by one member of meriting a Bonus
Award will now be able to check the
shortage" with the Junior Department
well in advance of the March payments.
Finally the change will obviously help
keep down the mass correspondence which
invariably plaques the Junior Department
when the Bonus standings and checks are
released at one fell sWoop something
which takes up much valuable time.
At least, we shall see what we shall
see" when the change takes place.

Easy Does 1t

ONE of our members in Ohio took pen
" in hand last week to acquaint us with
some of the trials and tribulations plaguing
her Lodge since it's recent "rebirth' as the
result of a merger.
There are some differences of opinion
in this Lodge, differences brought'into it's
ranks the moment the merger was made
effective. But, as our writer goes on to
explain, they are not insurmountable diff
ferences in the light of understanding
In fact, this member wrote in conclu
sion: Maybe in the future we can look
back on all this (differences) with smile
and say how really foolish we were,'
X
Now we'll in our second decade as the
President of one of the Society's many
Lodges, we can understand, from expert
ence, what these differences could mean.
A handful of sincere members honestly
dissatisfied with the leadership of their
Lodge should ever keep in mind the fact
that the great ma jority of our Lodge Off
cials are ordinary men and women doing
their level best for the good of all.
A "weak" Lodge President, Secretary,
etc. i'm the eyes of some should be helped
- and not abused. These men, or women,
are not magma cum laude" college grad
yates. They are, even as you and l, COM
mon, ordinary, everyday working people.
A Lodge isn't what it's officials make it.
A Lodge is no more, no less, than what its
officials and members alike make it. It's
as simple as all that.
We hope the officers and members of
this Lodge in Ohio come to realize as much
and enjoy that smile our writer talks about
much sooner than it may appear at the
moment The sooner the better for them in
particular and the Society in general.

How About Monday?

. We are nearing the end
of Brotherhood Week but
there is nothing in the book
that says we must start slug
ging each other Monday.
. And if enough of us took
a two-week try at Brother
hood we might be abl" to run
a week into a month and a
month into a year.
. Some one labeled this
"the century of the common
man" but how much better
if we could truthfully label
it "the century of the broth
erhood of man."
. Maybe we don't under
stand it because it doesn't
cost money -. and things
that don't cost money are
hard to understand these
days.
. But there are values
above and beyond money and
if ever we get around to un-
derstanding them that will
be "the century of mankind"

Hurricane Names
Deemed FIippant

Washington, ID. G.. - The
United States Weather Bu-
reau said last week that it
will continue using girls
names to identify hurricanes
despite some criticism that
the system reeks of flippancy.
Rep. Donald w. Nicholson,
R. Mass, has been arguing
that the use of feminine
names for identifying vicious,
destructive and death-dealing
storms is silly" IAN insult
to women" and ''in bad
taste" Mr.. Nicholson's dis
trict includes the Cape Cod
area which was severely dam
aged last year by hurricanes
Carol and Edna"
"We take hurricanes very
seriously and our only pur-
pose is to give the public the
most effective warning" re-
piled Weather Bureau Direc-
tor Francis w. Reichelderfer
in denying thoughts of flip
pancy on the part Of his
storm experts.

Brotherhood Week

DROTHERHOOD Week, February 20-27,
y brings to mind Chinese saying of yes
tervear: "All men are brothers"
But, as we said, that was more or less
the creed of the Chinese years ago. Today
their Communist government denies the
very possibility of brotherhood between
East and West by threatening to brandish
the sword unless they - the Reds - have
their way on this sorry earth.
So much for those now in control of the
political destiny of China
Meanwhile in Moscow the Soviet radlo
beams it's around the clock appeals into the
ears of other millions throughout the world
to unite as brothers as comrades.
In America, at the same time, nation
al. state and local leaders in all walks of
life are taking to radio and television to
preach that brotherhood is a living thing,
a necessity of the most vital import, and
not something for the BIRDS
Tuned in are countless millions scattered
the world over, befuddled men and women
listening in and wondering what to believe,
where to turn in these times.
How to convince the world that Amer
lea is indeed telling the truth?
In the words of the christian Science
Monitor: - "By showing that democracy
is brotherhood applied politically; that
Christianity is brotherhood applied univer-
sally. BY replacing extreme partlsanshlp
with an aWareness of the common good
smear with constructive criticism, and sup
preston of our fellow citizens with as Wig
orous a defense Of their rights as of our
own. By acting like brothers ...'
A large order for many of us, but not
an impossible one to carry out if each OF us
enters into brotherhood - the spirit of
Christ's Sermon on The Mount.
= - And, like charity, brotherhood ought
to begin i'm the home, the home of every
American family, if the United States is
to convince the wondering multitudes in
Europe, Asia and Africa that ours is the
democratic, the decent way of life.
AS Rabbi Norman Salt, President OF the
Synagogue Council of America put 1t: -
"America has too much invested in Broth
erhood America owes too much to Broth
erhood, to allow it to wither."
What soul-searching words.

Mo|otov SaIutes
New Peace Sister
Nehru Wants To
Be A NeutraliSt

While we're waiting for the
dust to settle in Russia-as
Dean Acheson once advised us
to do about China-there's one
item that should not be over
looked.
In the midst of his Hitler
like TRADE before the Supreme
Soviet the other day, Foreign
Minister Molotov got out of
character long enough to toss
a few posies.
Hardly surprising, they were
in the direction of Nehru's
India.
India, said Molotov, was TAX
ing on a new international
authority" India, he added,
was IAN important new sister
in the strengthening of peace"
Of course you know what it
means when a Communist uses
the word peace"
Nehru wants to be known
as the great neutralist. But in
the face of such an accolade
we can only imagine the Pan
dit lowering his soulful, big
brown eyes and murmuring,
"Why, Vyacheslav, I didn't
know you cared!

this July, I am sure the dele
gates from near and far will
find the Mayor (himself a
C. F. U. member) most gra-
cious to receive them and
welcome them to our fair
City.
Civic Knockers Blasted
We could go on at great
length to elaborate on the
good deeds of our Mayor, the
authenticity Of which is of
record.
However, for the present,
let us just say Gary is proud
of it's Mayor, and C. F. U.
members everywhere l am
sure will share this pride, be-
cause he is one of their own
making a reputable record.
Of course there are a few
"strajnci' who for a mere
pittance and personal selfish
motives have sold the reputa-
ton of our fair City to peri
odicals not worth mentioning,
which have found their way
nationwide.
These insignificant few
have done nothing worth
while for the community and
probably never will.
We who live in Gary, and
will continue to do so, love
our City because it is good
healthy robust community
bursting out of its Sc" :c1s AS
it progresses forward at
somewhat phenomenal speed.
Out To Succeed Himself
Mayor Mandich, the only
Gary-born Mayor that this
City has had, is serving his
last year of a four-year term,
but upon the urging of his
many friends and citizens has
consented to be a candidate
for reelection in the Prim-
aries this coming May.
The Mayor hopes to be the
first Mayor of the City of
Gary ever to have succeeded
himself.
His chances are considered
very good, inasmuch as he
has made an enviable record
for the community. And as
he puts it, he has some un-
finished business to finish in
the next four years on his
civic agenda. Good luck,
brother Pete, and congratula-
tons on a fine record.

America has seen to it in

The United States will not

The Last Straw

ENTIRELY too many of our correspon-
l. dents are taking entirely too many lber-
ties with our sense Of patience.
They forward articles typed single
space, Immediately wastebasket fodder IN
99cl of Americas editorial offices; they
send material scribbled on the back of ev-
erything from wrapping paper to business
ledger sheets, on everything save, so far,
bath room tissue; they write on and on and
insist that every word be published.

Now for the last straw, the straw that
broke our editorial camel's back.
1t came i'm from a Milwaukee writer i'll
the form of two articles measuring pre-
cisely 33 inches in garbed length and 9
inches in equally as inane breadth.
Time and again in the past we have
suffered through this correspondents end
less literary meanderings and word flights
of fancy always TO note at the end thereof
the writer's magnanimous authorization to
make any corrections where needed
Corrections where needed? Why, if our
associate didn't completely rewrite this par
tcular party's unbelievably disconnected
material said party would surely be good
for many laugh.
And yet week in and week out, we put
up with this sort of calling thing.
But, come now, why should we?
Aren't our correspondents cooperative
enough to keep their material as brief as
possible double-spaced when typeWrit-
ten; Iegible when done with pen or pencil
to the point at all times?
If not, then they should make way for
someone willing to cooperate with us.

THIS IS GARY!
Host, July 2-3-4, 1855
Fourth Junior Convention

Gary, lnd., Wnlcn Will play
host July 2-3-4, 1855, to the
Croatian Fraternal Unions 4th
National Junior Convention,
has around 600 acres of land
in it's Is developed parks, with
other properties awaiting later
development.
Some of them are small
neighborhood areas where
mothers take their children to
sun and play, while others,
like Gleason and Marquette,
are many-acred with a wide
variety of play opportunities.
Well kept, with trees and at
tractive sum amer planting,
these parks are oasis of quiet
and beauty in the middle OF
a bustling, hurrying industrial
city of amazing magnitude.
Delegates In For Treat
Nearly everyone in Gary Is
familiar with Marquette Park
and it's four miles of white
sandy beach Delegates to the
CFU's 4th National Junior
Convention are scheduled to
visit this famed playground
before they return to their
homes.
The Delegates will also be
taken to North and South
Gleason Parks, where they will
see some of the finest SWIM
ming facilities, golf courses
and tennis courts in the United
States.
In short, few cities can offer
a visitor a wider variety of
vacationland pleasures than
those which are available in
Gary; and none can outdo it
in hospitality.
Mayor Member Of CFU
Gary has a Mayor-Council
form of government serving
its many citizens.
It's present chief executive
is Mayor Peter Mandich, a
member of Gary's "Croatian
Sons" Lodge ITO Of the Cro-
atian Fraternal Union Of
America.
The duties and powers of the
Mayor, councilmen and other
officials are prescribed in de-
tail by, state law and can be
changed only by an act of the
State of Indiana Legislature.
The administrative branch
of the government is concen-
trated in a single officer-the
Mayor-who has the power to
enforce the laws of the city
and the state, appoint heads
and employees of various de-
partments, and perform other
executive duties prescribed by
state law.
The legislative branch, or
Common Council, known as the
City Council, is composed of
nine members, six elected from
their respective districts, three
at large.
His Honor Grand Fellow
incidentally, Mayor Mandich
is personally anxious to see as
many boys and girls as possi-
BILE in attendance at the Gro
atian Fraternal Unions 4th
National Junior Convention,
for he would like to meet his
younger fellow members from
coast to coast.
The Society's Membership
Campaign Committee at Pitts
bugh will make the necessary
arrangements with M ayor
Mandich to greet the Delegates
at this Convention and have q
group photograph made of
Gary's "head man" and the
visiting youngsters.
We know Mayor Mandich
will make a big hit with the
young Delegates.

ber of years of local Lodge

Being a member of the
c. F. U. Family, it might be
interesting to our readers 20
know just how we'll our
young Mayor Jared in this
all-important office of first
citizen during the past three
years.
City Immensely Improved
Let us check the record:
Suffice it to say that being
MaVor of a large coSmO-
politan City such as Gary is
not too easy a task and not
just a glamour-title to hold
if one is sincere in his inten-
tions.
1t requires a great deal of
Drawn, intelligence, patience,
conscientious work and in
tegrity, the virtues wit h
which our Mayor was gener-
ously blessed.
Despite the many obstacles
and hurdles thrown in his
way, he has accomplished
more, civic-wise, to improve
the conditions in the City of
Gary in the past three years
than had been heretofore re-
corded in the past decade.
One of the major projects
nearing completion now is
the lighting up of the MIL
nicipality with mercury vapor
lights, a definite s } forward
in reducing crime, and mod
ernizing lighting facilities.
Traffic Fatalities Drop
A new central fire station
and a million dollar police
station have been erected and
completed, and are currently
at the disposal of the COM
munity.
A comprehensive study of
the re-zoning of the City is
in progress at the present
time to meet the demands
of a fast growing community.
Plans have been completed
with work to start immedi-
ately on enlarging our anti
quated and inadequate sewer
system.
Gary, upon the recon-
mendation of the Mayor, was
the first City in the State
to institute Radar Control of
Traffic Speed. AS the result
of this, the number of traffic
fatalities have been reduced
from 43 in 1852 to Is in 1854.
Awaits Junior Delegates
Yes, Gary has growing
pains, and it took a great
deal of foresight and careful
planning by Mayor Mandich
to take the tiger by the tai
and do something about it
