Joseph Sikich A
Gentleman To End

LackaWanna, N. Y. - On
January 16, 1855, we received
word of the sudden passing of
our good friend and 81"
member, Joseph Sikich. This
tragic news was a tremen-
dous shock to his legion of
friends.
Joseph Sikich, a devout
father and husband, was a
member of the 'Lackawan-
mas" ES Lodge 726 and one
of the CFU's most enthusiast
tic supporters, ever eager to
espouse the cause of frater-
nalism.
Our departed brother was a
very active member Of the
Lodge, seldom missing any
event or affair sponsored by
our group.
Joseph was born in Sisak,
Yugoslavia, on September II,
1894, and came to the United
States in 1921. He resided in
l. a c k a w a ma continuously
since his arrival. After a
brief political career, Joseph
ultimately ended up in the
restaurant business.
gentleman Joe", as he was
affectionately called by his
many friends, was a genuine
sports fan. For many years
no hunting party was COM
plete unless he went along.
His witticisms and contagious
humor amused his friends no
end. His spontaneous quips
will long be remembered and
his memory will be cherished
by everyone who knew him.
His untimely death left a void
in the ranks of the a."
Surviving are his wife, Ma
ry, a well known figure in
fraternal circles, a step-son,
Joseph Bella, the current C..
F. U. Supreme Secretary, a
niece, Catherine Sikich of
Youngstown, Ohio, and a Sis
ter, Anna Siber of Sisak, Yu-
goslavia.
Burial was in the Holy
Cross Cemetery, Lackawanna,
with the Reverend Stephen
Lackovic conducting the SER
vices.
To the members of our de-
parted brothers family goes
our heartfelt sympathy in
their bereavement and for our
departed brother we say may
the Perpetual light shine upon
him and may his Soul Rest in
Peace.

and to encourage them to be
good members and to parti-
cipate in our activities. We
have a large field of work and
endeavor, and l would not
agree that we accept other
nationalities until we work
our field more thoroughly"
No Reason For Change
After discussion, the re-
commentator of the By
Laws Committee was adopt
ed, and consequently, the mo-
ton of the Executive Board
on acceptance of members of
other nationalities, was re-
jected. This was a decision Of
the delegates of the eighth
convention.
The question now arises,
whether or not conditions
within the Society have
changed sufficiently in the
past four years to warrant
again bringing this ques-
ton up at the Convention,
and in a much wider scope.
The present motion, which
will be in the proposed by
laws, contains no limitations,
and opens wide the door to
all applicants of other ma
tionalities.
| can assert, on the basis of
the report on the progress of
the Union from the last con-
vention to date, that there are
no existing justifiable reasons
for our deviating from our
path, which was so clearly
defined for us by the Eighth
Convention.
We have grown in the num-
ber of members, we have
grown by a greater amount
than in any previous four
year period, in total assets.
We grew significantly in the
total insurance by which the
Society protects it's members.
In all of these phases of our
business, we continue to grow
today.
Therefore, l see no good
reason for jeopardizing the
Croatian character of the So
ciety, of which character our
founders thought so much,
They planted into our hearts
a love and respect for every
thing which our Union means
and stands for to the Gro
atian name here in America
and Canada, throughout the
world, and even to the Gro
atians in the old homeland.
All CrOats Americans
In discussions of this sub
ject, it is said, Lets open the
door to Americans" And

our children, but Americans

Chairman and Secretary of

Immediately off stage on
the floor of the Croatian Cen
ter will be seated members of
the Croatian Fraternal Uni

Boards and other high Off
cials of the Society.
Seated in front of and fac
ing them will be all Junior

Delegates and guests, with

occasion.
Saturday A Great Day
Highlight of the opening
day of activity will be the
Saturday evening, July 2,
Testimonial Banquet at the
Croatian Center honoring all
Junior and Honorary Dele
gates and high officials of the
Society.
A lavish banquet program
of entertainment was discuss
ed during the April 13 meet
ing and the details left to
Lodge ITO, Nest lO and Nest
10 Mothers Club to iron out
weeks in advance of July 2
itself without the necessity of
clearing it" or anything else
with the Home Office at
Pittsburgh.
Definitely decided per-
tanning to the July 2 Testi-
monial Banquet is that
speaking will be held to an
absolute minimum, that the
Nest 10 Junior KOlo Dan
GERS will perform, that the
meal will be home cooked
and that dancing will cli-
max the festivities.
Discussed and left to the
group to decide in time was
the suggestion that the "Pre-
radovics Glee Club take part
in the banquet entertainment
program. In all probability,
this suggestion will come to
'tear fruit.
Mass At st. Joseph's
Arrangements were like
wise made April 13 for Sum-
day, July 3, the second day
of the 4th National Junior
Convention.
Following breakfast at 900
AM in Hotel Gary, all Junior
and Honorary Delegates will
attend a 1000 AM High Mass
at st. Joseph's Croatian Cath
olic Church.
Plans for this Mass and
a later Memorial Mass rev.
ering the memory of all de-
parted Junior Order men,
bers were discussed and
settled with Rev. Fidelis
Fajt of st. Joseph's Church,
who received bros. Grasha
and Brkich in the absence
of Rev. v. Ardas, Pastor of
st. Joseph's Church, who
was out of the city at the
time.
Immediately following Mass
on Sunday, July 8, all Dele

The steady growth of Pima
Savings and Loan Association,
which has reached over ST.
100000 in assets in 4 months,
indicates that a growing COM
munity like Tucson needs and
welcomes expanding facilities
for insured savings, according
to views expressed by Elmer
E. Present, board member, at
a recent meeting of the devel-
opment committee of the as
sociation. Present expressed
qualification that so many of
his own friends and organiza-
tions had opened accounts.
Predicting a continuation
of the rising total of accounts,
Present added that one of the
greatest factors in the growth
of the company has been the
public's increasing demand
for insurance on savings ac-
counts. This insurance is pro-
vided by the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corpora
ton, an instrumentality of the
United States Government,
and insures every account up
to $4,000. This protection,
plus 800 dividend rate per an
mum, added to the fact that
the company's assets are back
ed by sound first mortgages in
the community, adds up to a
savings plan that appeals to
the thrifty individual who also
insists on security, according
to Presents comments

For Gong Fight Threat

before their arrest white girl
had been beaten up by colored
girls at the playground. At that
time, the boys said, the colored
girls indicated they would return
the next day with some colored
boys.
The boys said they went to the
playground with the knives, not
to start fight but to protect
themselves.
This is the nearest thing to
a gang fight I've seen in this
court. said Juvenile Court Judge

the boys for attempting to take
law enforcement into their own
hands.
In another case, a 17-year-old
boy, who. according to a court
