we said here last week: Surely this should
serve to warm your heart and deepen your
pride in being a member of the 23rd lar
gest fraternal order on the North American
Continent" 1t should indeed.
So much for the public record.
On this, the eve of the 4th National
Junior Convention, we join our fellow men,
bers in Gary in wishing all, young and DID,
a most pleasant stay in this Steel Capital
of the Midwest
to have been part since the start Of this
great "Operation Fraternalsm." Our life is
by far the richer for the experience.
That bros. Michael Grasha and Frank
Braidic, Chairman and Vice-Chairman,
respectively. of the Campaign Convention
Committee on which we served as Secre-
tary, feel as we do goes without saying.
And the same goes for the remainder of
our fellow officers at the Home Office.
All of us are coming to Gary with this
feeling and hope everyone, CFU Officials,
Junior and Honorary Delegates and Guests
alike, leaves that city July with nothing
but respect for each other and deeper
sense of admiration for the Croatian Fra
ternal Union. No fraternalist can possibly
ask for any moro than this.
Again, welcome to Gary in behalf of our
fellow fraternalists in that city!

connected in any way with the staging July

Having done as much once to the
point of being criticized for it by one OF
our readers - our fellow members may
wonder what if anything, is there left to
say about the matter.
Probably nothing that hasn't been said
before, again, again and again III some m

JOsip MarOhnic Great Man

In reminiscing over the
history of the Junior Order,
our thoughts stop at one man
so outstanding Of foresight,
whom we may truly call the
Father of the Junior Order
Josip Marohnic, who, as Su-
preme President, at the 18th
Convention in Cleveland, in
1915, recommended the estab-
lishment of a Junior Order
within the ranks Of the Soci-
ETY..
His message upon that
momentOus occasion be-
gan: From day to day
each of us is getting older,
destined, as it were, to the
great beyond. 1t is, there
fore, our duty that we now
become vitally concerned
about our youth, which a
lone can maintain our nu-
merical strength and truly
represent, in the days to
come, the Croatian national
cause in this country

Our Builders OF Today
We are about to assemble
at the Fourth National Con-
vention of the Junior Order
as Delegates, Honorary Dele
gates and Officials of the So
ciety, not only to pay tribute
to the men and women of the
past, but to express our ap-
probation for the wonderful
work and efforts of so many
of you, our builders of today,
who have, in one of the short
est campaigns, this year in
honor of the Fortieth Ami
versary of the Junior Order
enlarged the ranks of the So
ciety by 1858 new members.
Many of you will be at
tending a Junior Order
Convention for the first
time, and some of you rep
resented your Nests at past
Conventions. Many of the
leaders of our local units,
either as lodge officers or
Junior nest managers, have
been delegates to one or
more previous Junior Order
Conventions.
1t is our responsibility to-
day to build you young men
and young women to be our
future leaders, and it is up to
us to prepare you for tomor-

which will forever remain a

Croatian Fraternal Union will
pick up the tab for this his

note that these delegates have
earned their right to this
princely fete. BY dint of zeal
Gus recruiting they have en-
riched the Society with 1868
new members and $2,187 400
new insurance in force.
A check of the Delegate
roster will show that IA
States are represented as

showing of all is the fact
that for the first time in
history even Alaska will be
represented at a Junior
Convention. Sister Mary

points to qualify as a Sen

Delegates and Guests attending it's widely
publicized 4th National Junior Convention.
The bow represents the first such COM
munity-wide recognition to befall the So
ciety in it's more than six decades of exist
ence. vet it could not have come at a more
opportune time than on this the eve of our
continental gathering in 1ndina.
Here, then, is the Proclamation honoring
our Society every one of us:

(Signed) Peter Mandich, Mayor
All members of the Croatan Fraternal
Union are indebted to the citizenry of Gary
for this public recognition of and salute to
their Society, now in its siXty-first year of
existence.
Nor are they any less indebted to Mayor
Peter Mandich, a member of Gary's Gro
attain Sons CFU Lodge 10, for the part
he played in making this honor possible.
The cooperation between the City of
Gary and the Croatian Fraternal Union
throughout the months preceding the ap-
preaching Junior Convention was more than
to our satisfaction at every turn We could
not have asked for anything more.
Which will explain, more than anything
else, why this has been one of the more
outstanding successful undertakings in the
annals Of the Croatian Fraterna Union.

1t can lead to "all hell breaking out

rotten like can't possibly hurt them in
any way - that they can smear to their
hearts content and get away with it.
