them to seriously consider
the possibility of coming to

These campaigners were
reminded that for the price
of 20 Points they could elect

We are happy to say that

Board agreed unanimously to
submit their findings, recon-
mendations and the like with
out reservations. At no time,
up to now, did the Executive
Board members disagree a.
mong themselves durin G
meetings for the purpose.
This spirit of unanimity
in the Executive Board was
also evident when it was
decided to propose a new
Section in the Bylaws, to
permit the acceptance into
membership Of non-Slav
applicants.
This proposal came before
the last Convention, held at
Los Angeles, California, in
September of 1851, and will
again be discussed during the
next Convention.
Bro. Mandich Surprises
Agreeing with this matter
of accepting non-Slav appli-
cants as members of the Gro
atian Fraternal Union was
bro. v. I. Mandich, Supreme
President of the Society. =
In all our talks in the Home
Office, official and otherwise,
formal and informal, bro.
Mandich never once spoke out
in any manner against the
question of accepting nom
Slavs as members. At no time
did he disagree when the
question arose.
Imagine, then, our COM
plete surprise when we
read his article of April 13,
1856, in the Zajednicar
which went on to argue a
gainst accepting non-Slavs
as members after he had
steadfastly agreed to the
direct opposite during Ex-
ecutive Board meetings.
Now, we, personally, would
be the last to deny bro. Man
dich the democratic right to
change his mind regarding
matters of vital Importance to
the Society.
But common courtesy die

Detroit, Mich. - Attention,
members of "Zora" c. F. u.
Lodge 351, affiliates of the
Corporation as well as all
members of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union and it's social
clubs in the Detroit area:
AS we have previously an
nounced, the members of
Lodge 351 have definitely de-
cided to build a home which
would be the pride and joy
of all affiliates, and also our
entire Slav population in the
vicinity, both the old and new
generations.
In view of this fact, the
Home Committee, together
with the Corporation Com
mittee, is making plans for
the staging of a huge Ban
quet on Sunday, May 1, 1855,
at 200 PM, at the Croatian
Catholic Center, 201 w. 7
Mile Road, three blocks from
Woodward Avenue.
Our honored guest and
speaker on the occasion will
be the Supreme President of
the Croatian Fraternal Union,
bro. V. I. Mandich. He will,
no doubt, bring a message of
good wishes for our success
and describe how other such
projects have Jared through
out the country wherever our
people reside.
Brothers and sisters, may
we urge you to purchase your
admission tickets to this
event just as soon as possi-
BILE in order that we may plan
accordingly.

Thirty.Five Membership Drive Points
Can Qualify Juveniles And Adults Alike
As DELEGATES To 4th Junior Convention
Every Privilege Save Transportation
Included In Thirty-Five Point Bargain

By Michael Grasha, Chairman, Campaign Committee
Pittsburgh, Pa - Thirty five-35-yes, just plain old
35 the magic number the pass word that will admit you
to a three-day life of enchantment and rapture.
We refer of to 35 Membership Campaign Points
which, if you provide your transportation suff
cent to make you bona-fde Delegate Junior Senior

Honorary, to the 4th Nation
al Junior Order Convention in
Gary, Ind, on July 2, 3 and
4. Yes, just 35 Points are suf-
ficient to place you into that
circle of elite.
That 35 Points will en-
title you to the following:
attendance and participa-
ton in all Convention pro-
ceedings, tours, ETC., meals
and banquet while in Gary,
and hotel accommodations
at Gary's most sumptuous
hostelry-Hotel Gary-for
the duration of the Conven-
ton.
Now you may ask yourself
Just what do l have to do
to earn 35 points? Simple
just sign up a new member
for S25O0 of Endowment in
surance, Junior or Senior, and
you have earned yourself SO
Points. Three new members
for $1,000 each on the 20 Pay
plan will get you the same
amount of Points.
Elsewhere in this Section
you will find a complete ta-
BILE of point values for every
type of insurance coverage.
Bit OF Effort - BingO!
This emphasis on 35
Points does not change the
point requirement set up as it
has been clarioned these past
weeks and months.
For those who want the
CFU to pay their railroad
fare to and from Gary the
point goal remains the same,
/. e., so Points if you reside
within 200 miles of Gary; IS
if within 1000 miles and 100
for all distances beyond that
and double these amounts if
you are an adult CFU men,
Der and are striving for the
goal of Honorary Delegate.
We are limelighting 35
Points because we want to

These q m n d m e n t S,

govern the Society in between
Conventions.
Gained From Experience
The Executive Board is, of
course, in the best position to
suggest Bylaw amendments,
changes, etc., because all Of
ficials, Officers and members
of the Clerical Staff at the
Home Office come into daily
contact with many Sections
of the rules and regulations
governing this or that depart
ment.
From this daily experience
we, at the Home Office, are
better able to determine
which Sections of the By
Laws are, say, ambiguous,
which overlap others, which
can be simplified in language,
which can be done away with
in their entirety, and so on.
Valuable aid is also given
in this respect by the men,
bers of the Supreme Board,
who are often called upon
druing semi-annual meet
ings to interpret Sections
of the Bylaws which pose
questions because they lack
clarity.
In these discussions, the
opinions of the Legal Coun-
sellor, Medical Advisor and
Actuary, as well as the opin-
ions and recommendations of
Insurance Examiners, are ta-
ken in consideration.
Were the Executive and
Supreme Boards and other
Officers not alert to keeping
the Bylaws as devoid as pos
sible of ambiguity, etc., every
Section would have to be read
and acted on during a Quad
rennial Convention - a very,
very expensive waste of time
which would only result in
"wrangling" among the some
$50 Delegates and Officials
who attend these gatherings.

LEXINGTON, KY, April 20
R.-Racing Fool may be every
thing his name implies, but even
with four straight wins to his
credit he remains an odd piece
in the Kentucky Derby jigsaw
puzzle.
Eight Derby hopefuls trailed
in foolish pursuit yesterday as
the trim bay son of Jet Pilot, a
Derby winner, won his most i'm
portant victory, the 31st Blue
Grass Stakes on Keeneland's
closing day.
Blue Grass winners usually
land in the thick of Derby spec
ulation and so do strong sons Of
past Derby champions.
Unkind as 1t may seem. how
ever, expert observers still say
the most foolhardy thing Racing
Fool might do is tackle the likes
of Nashua and Summer Tan
May Z at Churchill Downs.
Even Henry Moreno. who rode
Racing Fool to his Blue Grass
win, has his eye on another horse
from the same Cain Hoy Stable
If he has his pick for a Derby
mount.
1.-THE horse I've been riding,
Flying Fury. is the most horse"
Moreno said after yesterdays
race.
Moreno was picked by Harry
F. Guggenheim, Cain Hoy owner.
to ride Racing Fool in the Blue
Grass when it was decided to
hold Flying Fury for the Derby
Trial Tuesday at Churchill
Downs.
The jockey was reminded that
Racing Fool defeated Flying
Fury by three and one-half
lengths in a seven-furlong al
lOWance race last week.
Flying Fury ran wide in that
race" Moreno explained. Be
sides, he likes the longer dis
tances."
Regardless of whether Moreno
rides Racing Fool or Flying Fury,
the Guggenheim- Moreno combi-
nation will be treated with con-
siderable respect by Derby fol-
lowers this time. They teamed
in 1853 with Dark Star to pull
one of the Derby's monumental
upsets-a victory over the great
Native Dancer.
Racing Fool held on doggedly
yesterday when Jeans Joe,
second in the Santa Anita Derby,
threatened his lead near the
wire of the mile and an eighth

the Derby distance.
After pulling up to Racing
Fools heels. however, Jeans Joe
could do nothing but hang on
for second place, three-fourth of
a length behind the winner.
Racing Fool was timed in 1878.
Munc usen, who helped
Speed Rouser set the early pace,
came home a surprising third,
two lengths behind jeans Joe.

ties. was fourth.
Only Racing Fool and Jeans
Joe out of the Blue Grass field
figure to brave the Nashua Sum-
mer Tan threat in the Derby.
The rest of the Derby field is
expected to come out of the
Derby Trial and a tuneup race
for 3-year-oldS tomo rrow at
Churchill Downs. The latter will
feature an expected duel between
Swaps. the Santa Anita Derby
champion, and Trim Destiny, the
Arkansas Derby winner.
In winning yesterday, Racing
Fool more than doubled his life
time earnings. He took $22,112.50
of the gross $35, $50 purse. His
winnings previously as a 2 and
3-year-old totaled $21,475.
He paid his hackers So yester-

Failure 10 Hit
MayBeP Pattern
For Senators
Only Orovetz Getting
Shore of Sufeties
As Big Guns Misfire
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Correspondent

DETROIT, April 29-Let's face
it, citizens. Unless the Senators
receive generous contributions
from their enemies in the form
of errors. wild pitches. passed
balls. walks and balks. this will
be an exasperating season, the
ninth in a chain Of second di-
vision finishes. It's no longer a
secret that good, and sometimes
mediocre, pitching will make 'em
blush.
From their pitching staff the
Senators generally have obtained
effective labor, but in 10 games
their alleged attack has been
restricted to six hits or less on
seven occasions. They garnered
just six hits in last nights Al
loss to the Tigers. With bats in
their hands they're in a virtual
top-to-bottom slump. 1t could
be a pattern for the year.
The Senators are operating in
an era of the home run, but
when Roy SieverS and Mickey
Vernon aren't booming them, the
club is crippled. 1t takes too
many singles to make a run and
the Senators aren't seeking their
share of those.
Ernie Oravetz. the tidbit out
fielder. is the only member of
the club who has been hitting
with consistency and Ernie isn't
going to frighten the opposition.
He pecks away at them, annoys
them with his singles and would
be mild sensation if his CO.
horts were pumping around him,
but Oravetz' .344 hitting is for
display purposes.
The smiling little fellow can't
carry the load. The Senators re-
quire more sustained hitting from
Eddie Yost, Slevers, Jim Busby,
Pete Runnels and whoever their
catcher and shortstop of the
moment might be. Vernon, with
his .283 and 10 runs batted in,
is a rousing success by COM
parison.
Billy Hoeft subdued the Sena-
tors last night before a crowd of
20,820, to give Detroit a rare
string of five straight wins.
Frank Larry. a 24-year-old right
handler who had a 15-11 record
at Buffalo last season, will get
his chance to extend the streak
against Camilo Pascual today.
Pascual is aware that the first
run he yields could be the one
that beats him. The Senator's

Hoeft on Victory Path

DETROIT. April 20 R.-
Everything is new about the
new" Billy Hoeft-he has a new
delivery, new confidence and a
new two-game winning streak.
Billy the Kid, who claims this
is his year to become a winning
pitcher, hurled Detroit to a Al
victory over the Senators last
night.
Hoeft gave up. six singles and
walked only one batter in

resulting from two Detroit
errors.
"Those two wins have, given
me a big boost" Hoeft said.

he has shortened his stride on
