first Concert to be presented
by the newly organized "Cro-

been scheduled for staging on
May %, 1866.
Some ten short months ago
a new singing society bearing

this younger group soon

via around Eastertime. ="
A gentleman from the Of
flee of the u. S. Information
Service at Washington, D. c.,
asked many questions about
our Society, when it was or
ganized, the purpose of the
organization, how it developed
and grew to be a verltable
giant among nationality fra
ternals in the United States
and Canada, what our other
obiectives and activities are
besides insurance, etc.
To all of these questions
l gave a short and concise
reply, sufficiently informa-
tive that listeners in the old
homeland would get a clear
picture about our Union.
One of the questions on
which | elaborated a little
more fully, was, What is the
future outlook for the Soci-
ETY." To this, I replied as fol-
lows:
Youth: Key To Future
1--WE are confronted with
the bitter truth that we can
not increase our membership
bv the enrolment of new i'm
migrants to this country, for
they are practically non-ex-
istent. We must, therefore,
depend heavily on the sole
source Of new members, our
own Junior Order.
ut would be we'll to men,
ton one factor which enters
very significantly into our
plans for the future of the
Union, and that is that well
over one-half of our adult
members were transferred
from the Junior Order. For
that reason, the one and only
certain way in which to as
sure a better future for the
Society, is by strengthening
the ranks of it's Junior Order.
"Our official publication
for the adult membership
Is the "Zajednicar", print
ed weekly in $1,000 copies;
the Junior Order, on the
other hand, has it's own
Junior Magazine, published
in 10000 copies bi-mOnth-
~.
1--WE are doing everything
in our power to keep our chill
dren in the organization. We
have we'll integrated sports
activities, national tourna-
ments and competitions be-
tween the various lo d G c
teams in bowling, baseball,
golf, etc, in short, everything
that interests our young peo-
pie. We teach them to lead
their own nests, so that later,
they will be prepared to head
our adult lodges and, eventu-
ally, the Union itself.
Greater Things Ahead
THE results achieved to
date, are extremely satisfac-
tory by comparison with
those Of other Slav and Anne
rican fraternals. Our Junior
Order is considerably strong
er in proportion to the adult
membership, than any other
fra ernal organization in
America
But we are not satisfied
to rest on our laurels, and will
not cease in our efforts to
strengthen the ranks of our
Junior Order until every child
of our people and their chill.
dren, is enrolled. This is the
10th Anniversary Year of ou1
Junior Order"
The last question Of the in.
terview, was: do you have
anything special to tell the
listeners in Yugoslavia ?" This
question gave me good op.
portunity to give this mes.
sage to the listeners:
what can l say to you,
dear listeners in the old
homeland: We old ones still
