Senior Delegate
To Junior Confab
Candidates Face
May 31st Deadline

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Mrs. Mary
M. Vukmir, Anchorage, quail
fled Friday, May 20, as the
first Territory of Alaska a
Delegate ever to earn the
right to attend a National
Junior Convention of the Gro
atian Fraternal Union.
A housewife, mother and
member of Lodge 439, Mrs.
Vukmir passed her 200 Points
Quota with room to spare
and may now look forward
to basking in the limelight
during the July 2-3-4 staging
in Gary, Indiana, of the So
ciety's 4th National Junior
Convention.
Plans call for Mrs. Vukmir
to make the long trip from
Anchorage to Gary via North
western Airlines, details Of
which remain to be ironed
out in the weeks ahead.
In the meantime, our heart
lest congratulations to you,
Mrs. Vukmir, on a great job
we'll done. All of us at the
Home Office are looking for
ward to meeting you in Gary
and making the acquaintance
of a fraternalist of truly rare
vintage.
Eighteen Short Of 100
Friday, May 20, was Quail
fication Day" for many more
Gary Candidates.
In fact, business" was 50
brisk last week that the to-
tai number of Delegates-elect
scared to 80 Junior and Hon.
orary Senior members and
again raised the fond hope
that no less than 100 Dele
gates will eventually attend
the July 2-3-4 proceedings.
To bring this hope to bear
fruit, it will be necessary for
18 more Candidates to quail
fly by midnight of next Tues
day, May 31st, the official
Membership Campaign dead
line date.
Although only 6 days re-
main before that deadline, we
are now supremely confident
that at least 100 Delegates
will answer the first Junior
Convention Roll Call July 2.
Anything less than that will
come as a disappointment.
The final, official Points
Standings of all will appear
here on June 8.

The Princeton, Seattle, San
Jose and district Delegates
will then entrain as a group
for Los Angeles, where they
will be met by the Los Ange-
les, Hollywood and San Pc
dro Delegates.
BY then the group will
probably number around 20
Delegates and Guests and
all will depart from Los
Angeles for Gary via the
Rock Island Lines. En-
route to Chicago the train
will stop in Kansas City to
pick up at least one Dele
gate from that area.
This setup will enable the
far western Canadian and
American Delegates to be-
come thoroughly acquainted
long before they reach Chica-
go Friday morning, July 1,
and change trains for the
short trip from the city's En-
glewood Station to Gary
proper.
These schedules for the
Coast Delegates are now be-
ing put in order and will be
published here later.
Set Canadian Schedules
Train schedules are also
being worked out to accom-
modate Canada's Delegates
elect to the 4th National Jun
ior Convention.
With representatives of
the Canadian National Rail-
road acting as the clearing
house, plans are in the MAX
ing for passage to Gary for
Delegates from Kirkla n d
Lake, Schumacher, Sault Ste.
Marie, Thorold, Windsor, To-
ronto and Montreal.
CNR agents will get
train tickets to all Canadi-
an Delegates well in ad-
vance of departure time for
Gary and acGuaint all with
necessary travel informa-
ton weeks in advance of
the Convention.
To assure smooth passage,
/ the Home Office has written
the Canadian Consul General
at New York City, New York,
regarding Canadian minors
wishing to cross the border
into the United States and
expects a clear cut reply be-
fore the end of the week.

Still other travel arrange

far removed from Gary will
be taken up with the Junior
and Honorary D el 6 a t e s

days of June. Some will pro-
badly travel by bus, others
by the nearest railroad.
In the end, all Delegates
will be asked to be in Gary
no later than 500 PM Fri

ton, assignment to hotel
rooms, a "Welcome To

one single advocate mas yet
such a home, that is the cost
of it's construction, operation
and maintenance.
Since G. f. u. members
with sufficient financial a
bility could make their own
selection of a home, l feel
safe in assuming that the
home being proposed would
be mostly for INDECENT
members.
I can't conceive of a finan-
cially able aged member, for
instance, leaving his relatives
and close friends in the state
of California and going to re-
side in a strange home in 1lli-
nois or any other state.
Cost Of Typical Home
The first practical consid-
Grafton for a home is it's loca-
ton and the number of men,
bers it is to accommodate, for
l1pon this latter depends the
sixe 0f the home and the cost
involved.
A modern home for about
100 residents could cost ap-
proximately $20O,O0O.O0 to
$5O0,0O depending upon the
type of home selected and its
facilities.
Basically a home should
provide the aged member with
the following essentials: -
Shelter, meals, medical care,
dental care, social care, cloth
ing, amusement, pers o n a ]
needs and other miscellaneous
items. Such a home must be
fully equipped with an up to.
date kitchen, laundry, heat
ing plant, library, game and
television room, chapel, audi
torium and cleaning plant.
The home would further re.
quire the full time services
of a Superintendent, doctor
nurse, attendants, social wor.
ker, cleaning women, librari.
an, p h ysi'c a therapeutist
clerk, typist, electrician, han
dyman, plumber, dietician and
purchasing agent.
These items would be-
come fixed expenses and
would be charged to the C.
F. U. whether there were
10 or 100 members residing
in the home. A private
home for the aged must
also maintain certain STAN
dards and be certified by
the state in which it is To-
Gated.
The nominal charge for ar
individual in a private home
for the above services varies
from $4,000 per week with
medical services or approx
mately $500 per day with
medical expenses extra.
Illness Poses Problems
One of the greatest prob
lens confronting a private
home for the aged is the day
when an aged person becomes
ill or incapacitated.
Most private homes in such
q situation transfer the res.
ident to the welfare depart.
ment for placement in an in.
firmary or in a hospital. What
would the C.F.U. be expected
to do in such a predicament,

AS we have said here time
and again, over and over
again, there will be no extern

paign deadline in any single
case or under any circum-
stances.
This was stressed in ev-
cry letter mailed all Candi-
dates these past several
weeks and none can say
that he or she didn't know
the date of the official con-
clusion of the Membership
Campaign, which b e gan
January 1st last and has
been publicized on these
pages for the past 20
weeks.
All membership applica-
tions postmarked by midnight

Special Far West Setup
Now, here's good news fol
our Delegates-elect in the fal
western sectors of the United
States and Canada.
Arrangements are being
made for the potential Dele
gate from Princeton, British
Columbia, Canada, to trave
south to Seattle, Washington
and meet up with that city,

entrain together for San Jose

An aged person can be-
come infirm and chronical-
ly ill and yet not be sick
enough for hospital care
and still require more care
than q home can provide.
The problem of caring for
those aged persons grows
more critical as the span of
life is advanced. From actual
experience very little difficult
ty is encountered with a
healthy resident, but when
sickness strikes, the solution
becomes involved and expen-
sive.
Anyone who has ever pass
ed through a convalescent
home can readily grasp the
full significance of such prob
lens. Old folks in this condi-
ton require the attention of
a full time doctor and a staff
of nurses.
Re: Home In One State
Movement of transfer of
the aged goes on constantly
since they can become dissat-
isfied very easily and quickly.
The people in charge must
have a definite understanding
of the aged and be willing to
work with them. The number
of people trained to take care
of the aged are few and to
obtain them will present more
problems.
A home in one state only
would be of advantage to
the people in that vicinity
or state since the aged in
other states would definite
ly refuse such far away
placement from their own
community where they
have friends, relatives,
close ties and memories.
The aged do not care for
the homes for the aged but
only accept such care ifathey
are unable to manage in their
own community or when rel
atives or friends do not want
them.
Can We Afford Outlay?
The source of my informa-
ton is based on the operation
of a County Home and Infir-
mary which at present takes
care of about 1915 persons at
a cost of 81, 300, 900 yearly.
The one big question to
ask at this time is: - Is
the C.F.U. and its members
prepared to assume such a
huge undertaking at this
time?
1t is my recommendation
that any member wishing to
discuss the matter of a home
for the aged at the next Con-
vention should come prepared
with facts and figures on the
cost involved to erect, main
tain and operate such a home.
All pertinent laws affect
ing such homes should also be
studied, for in no other way
can the convention arrive at
a decision on the question of
an Old Folks Home until all
the answers are presented in
detail.
