The Other Side

IKE with everything else in life, there
- were two sides to the Croatian Frater-
nal Unions 4th National Junior Convention
July IA at Gary, Indiana.
There was, of course, the Juvenile
side made up of 90 Delegates in their
teens What they saw, heard and expert
enced at Gary was, naturally all to the
good. When you're young, not to mention
carefree, life can be - is - beautiful
Then there was the other angle, the
"adult side" comprised of "a Honorary
Senior Delegates. What they saw, heard
and experienced during the Junior Con-
vention may be something else again.
Both sides should tell their Convention
story on the pages of the zajednicar par
ticularly the elders. Be their impressions
good, bad or Indifferent we stand ready to
publish them on these pages.

Worth A Trv

n ELEGATES to the Croatian Fraternal
- Unions 9th National Quadrennial Con-
vention at Philadelphia in September will
be asked to do something concrete about
compensating the societys numerous Ame-
rican and Canadian Lodge Secretaries.
Supreme President bro. V. I. Mandich in
recent article suggested that a/Secretary
be paid annually at the rate of $1OO for
each member in his or her Lodge; fifty
cents to be contributed by the Lodge the
other fifty by the Societys Home Office.
Croatian Editor bro. Philip Vukelich,
in his editorial of July 20, agrees on the
$1.O0 end, but would have the Croatian
Fraternal Union pay all of it,
Each suggestion has it's own merits;
both are worthy of careful thought.
X
The financial standing of the Croatian
Fraternal Union is of such present and
foreseeable future caliber as to make such
suggestion we'll worth adopting.
To adopt it would mean the end of the
Conservation Award Bonus Plan now cover
ing Lodge Secretaries, a schedule calling
for the annual payment Of so many dollars
to Secretary provided his or her Lodge
membership was maintained at a certain
level. If not, that Secretary was plain out
Of luck and dollars at years end.
This wouldn't be the rule of thumb un-
der the suggestions mentioned above not
if the Delegates decide to adopt one or come
up with better plan on their own.
Under the new plan, a Secretary
would be paid at the rate of $1OO or
whatever it may be, for every member on
the Lodge roster at the end of the year.
If the Lodge has 100 members at the be-
ginning of the year and falls off to IS at
the end of the twelve-mOnth cycle, then
the Secretary loses, say, $500, or $1.0O
per lost head. But the Secretary would
still be entitled to $500 for the ,S5 re-
naming members.
Under the present plan, and using the
case in the above paragraph, the Secretary
wouldn't be entitled to a single dollar for
his or her efforts during the year.
So, change is in order at Philadelphia
for the betterment of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union through the medium of compen-
sating its Lodge Secretaries for faithful
services rendered

Up And Coming

THERE will be much more than "tee for
! two during the running in Cleveland,
Ohio, on Saturday, July so, of the Society's
3rd Annual Midwest Golf Tourney.
There can be no doubt about that, not
when we know that the "zumberaks" of
Lodge $50 are hosting the championships
and all the social glitter that goes with
such an important event.
Having tasted in the past of their brand
of hospitality, we know whereof we speak
when we say that the members of Lodge
$50 are mine hosts of the first water.
An up and coming attraction, the 3rd
Annual Midwest Golf Tournament will be
taken in Saturday by no less than three
high officials of the Society.
They are bros Charles j. Nerbanic,
Lackawanna, New York, President of the
Board of Trustees, Joseph Bella, Supreme
Secretary, and Frank Braidic, SpOrts-Ed-
ucatiOnal Director, the latter two hailing
from the Home Office at Pittsburgh.
Which is proof enough that the Croatlan
Fraternal Union has now placed this sports
undertaking on top-drawer level and re-
cognizes it's potential future value to the
Society as a whole.

the Yugoslav Communist Party which
placed him in power and on which he must
depend for support The approval of the
Communist apparatus is essential to his
power. To this apparatus, Tito has always
promised what he has finally delivered:
official Communist recognition that his po-
sition against Stain was correct
Even before the Soviet visit to Belgrade,
the Yugoslav Communists made their atti-
tude plain. Whenever asked if Yugoslavia
would join NATO, Tito would reply that
Yugoslavia could not become "a part of an
anti-Communist alliance" In their relations
with Greece and Turkey, the Yugoslav
Communists have constantly stressed that
their obligations under the Balkan Pact did
not go beyond the defense of their imme-
diate interests; in other words, Titos COM
mitment to the pact was subject to his own
Interpretation. - Bogdan Raditsa

Sons of Italy

\h/E have always followed with interest
w the "doings and goings on" in the
ranks of other fraternal organizations.
So it was that we kept an eye on the
recent proceedings attending the 23rd BIZ
ennal Convention of the Pennsylvania
Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy (SOD,
which was held in Philadelphia.
BY way of introduction, the Sol is
national organization operating out Of
home offices located in Chicago. Its SUI
preme Lodge was founded in 1908, it's
Illinois Grand Lodge in 1925
Surprisingly, especially in view of its
many and varied activities the order had
less than 5000 adult and juvenile certifi-
cate holders on record the last time we
checked it's Statistics Which is far cry
from the more than 100000 members affi-
lated with the Croatan Fraternal Union.
X X
What came to pass at the recent Con-
vention of the SOTs Pennsylvania Grand
Lodge should interest the Delegates-elect
to the CFU's 9th Quadrennal Convention,
which is to take place in Philadelphia and
be called to order September 10.
passed during this Sol conclave.
Particularly the one calling on men,
bers of the United States Congress to
repeal - not revise - the McCarran-
Walter Act a statute which is as CALLING
to Americans of Italian descent as it is
to those of Croatian extraction.
Then there was Resolution asking the
Pennsylvania State Board of Education and
Superintendents of Parochial Schools to
add the Italian language to the school cur
riculum; another to support and establish
Italian works of art in Libraries and his
torical museums.
Still another urged support Of a House
of Representatives bill calling for declaring
Columbus Day, October y, a national
holiday throughout the United States.
All of which adds up to one important
thing: Americas Italians can make their
weight felt in proper places and do so with
the best interests Of the United States
ever at heart.
So can Americas Croatians
They can take step in that direction at
Philadelphia in September by putting the
Society's 9th Quadrennial Convention on
