cialsm and welfare state. More subtle
and more important consequences are
found in sapping of individual moral
fiber, and the undermining of old, eternal
ideals of human dignity and freedom and
responsibility.
Americans hate Communism. Yet Com
munism il nothing but socialism and state
capitalism" do-everything" government
carried to the inevitable end. One Of the
most distinguished living men recently de
scribed the process well. Herbert Hoover
said I'm the Iron Curtain states it was the
Socialist intellectuals who weakened the
freedom Of men BY destroying free enter
prise Thus they furnished the boarding
ladders by which the Communists captur-
ed the Ship Of State"
Today. as for years past. the attempt to
destroy free enterprise in the United States
continues Men in high, responsible posi-
tons including members of both the polltl-
cal parties, advocate policies and phlioSo-
phes which would undermine free enter
prise in one sphere or another, and when
would make the central government ever
bigger. ever more powerful ever more ex-
pensive, ever more monopOistle, ever more
oppressive.
short time ago Dorothy Thompson
sYgrote Private enterprise We note, IS
always called an interest while State
capitalist ventures are presented as DIS
interested instruments Of the people
This is balderdash Government grows on
what it feeds on every Government agency
and its functionaries are hungry for more
appropriations and more power; they, too
are interest"
Moreover, the sins Of private enterprise
can be and are corrected BY law The sins
OF super government, once a certain point
is reached, are beyond any law, ne people,
more and more. take what is offered and do
what they are told That is the way free
men become slaves. Modern history Froans
with examples of it.
1t was said long ago that any people
get the kind OF government they deserve
They also get the amount of freedom they
deserve. We Americans are not immune to
these truths

L. S. High Living Standard

Il an almost unbelievably low percentage
Of private purchases
Nevertheless. the fact that in Germany
"a country which IS looked upon as one Of
the wealthy countries of the world-only
about 10000 private citizens buy automo-
biles in year Is a highly enlightening
measuring stick which Americans should
be interested in. 1t is probably safe 10 say
that private purchases of automobiles in
the United States number in the millions
since approximately 100000 passenger
cars are expected to be prod next year.
The comparison of a figure in the millions
with 10000 for Western GERMANY ma
ton of some 50 200 900 people, roughly
a third OF the number in the United States
gives en- indication Of the comparative
wealth Of this country and its European

MAX THOENlSsl0N, president Of the
vi German Automobile Industrial Soci-
ETY., recently said that check showed that
only four per cent of the automobiles pur-
chased in Germany were bought by private
citizens.
This figure shows the comparative
wealth OF the United States. even when
compared with the wealth of states which
are now experiencing mild economic
boom. The German automobile industry
produces about SOC. 1000 cars a year, which
il about one-tenth of the production ea-
pected in the United States in 1865 About
half this number. or about 100000 are
bought in Germany.
The other half of that total production
il exported. Of the 900 passenger cars
bought bv German citizens, only about TO-
600 are purchase by private citizens. This

Many Thank From
Euclid ko|o Kids

Euclid, Ohio - At this
time we would like to express
our appreciation to the entire
editorial staff of the "Zajed-
nicar" for the wonderful pub
licity given our Euclid Nest
373 Kolo Group. 1t certainly
gave a big boost to our mo-
rale.
We also wish to thank our
grand musicians for all the
time they have donated to
help us in our efforts. They,
above all, are responsible for
our success so far.
We are grateful, too, to the
directors of the American
Yugoslav Center for permit
ting us the use of the hall so
that we might practice our
kolo dancing.
The kindness and solicitude
of all of these combined has
made it possible for the Kolo
Kids to succeed to the best
of our ability. Thanks a mil
lion.
At this time we all would
like to wish a speedy recov-
cry to Barbara Baron, who
has left her job with the Kolo
Kids to Anna Norsic.

standing the purposes and
goals of our Club, did sign up.
However, we would like to
see 1855 as our BIG year. The

This is, frankly, an appeal
to all those mothers who are

ers Club to come down to our
next meeting in March. 1t will

tend a sincere invitation to all
our friends, Lodge members,

the tapping feet, and enter
tainment for all.
Don't forget the date: =

Tickets for the plate dinners

We would like to be able to
plan for enough food and do
not want any of you to be

nounce a recent addition to
their roster, that of sister
Virginia Lydia Daniels, a for
mer member of Junior Nest
122.
Virginia is the daughter of
Joseph and Ann Daniels of
Bentleyville, Pa, and one of
the most active members of
our kolo group. In affiliating
herself with our Lodge she
leaves behind in the Junior
Nest two sisters, Connie and
Patricia.
Ever since the founding of
our Kolo Group sister Daniels
has always been very active
in the organization as a whole
and has participated in every
conncert which the group has
staged.
She is ever ready to lend
a hand in any Lodge or Cro-
attain Home endeavor and has
proven herself a very depen-
dable person when there is
a job to be done.
Virginia was born on Aug
ust IS, 1886, and became a
member of Junior Nest 122
on July 10, 1850. Our newest
recruit graduated from Bent
leyville High School last May
and is now continuing her ed
ucation at the Penn CONNER
cial College in Washington.
She served as a majorette
with the Bentleyville High
School Band for seven years
and held the distinction of be-
ing it's most attractive men,
ber.
We, the officers and men,
bers of Lodge 354, are proud
to welcome Virginia into our
ranks and take this opportu-
nifty to wish her the best Of
luck in the future. We know
that she will prove to be as
valuable an asset to our
Lodge as she was to the Jun
ior Nest during her long years
of affiliation with the society.

Chicago Lodge 785 Membership Honors
Stephen Nova|ich For Years OF Service
Eighty -Year-Old Affiliate Of Society
Was Among Founders OF Childrens Home

In reminiscing over those
fifty years, we find that bro.
Novalich was one of the
founders and organizers of
the CFU Children's Home in
,Des PLANES, III. Through his
efforts, one of the first cash
donations for the building of
the Home was secured.
Bro. Novalich has been an
active member of Lodge 795
ever since its inception. He
not only attends all monthly
meetings, but is a member of
the Board of Trustees. Nearly
eighty years young, he has
put many of our younger
members to shame with his
aggressiveness and loyalty.
We all wish him good health
and a long life!
Looks Like a Big Year
Other subjects on the agen-
da for discussion were how
to increase membership, at
tendance at meetings, and
proceeds from social activi-
ties. We also discussed how
to decrease expenditures and
in the Lodge.
Immediately upon the con-
clusion of the business at
hand, a delicious lunch and
refreshments were served to
all.
Our President, Andrew Ti-
mer, extended his thanks to
all members and friends who
attended the meeting, and es-
pecially to those who donated
food and time in the prepara-
tons.

Chicago, iii. - The annual
meeting of "Bjelovarska Slo-
ga" CFU Lodge 785 was held
in January and capacity at
tendance was noted, with
some sixty members, rela-
tives and friends present for
the session.
The officials who guided
our course during 1854 were
unanimously re e | e t e d to
serve us for another term.
Our main topic of discussion
during the gathering was to
find ways and means to raise
funds for an annual Christ
mas Party for the children
of Junior Nest 400.
1t was decided that the fe-
male members would form a
committee to sell rattle
books, the sale of which
would finance such socials.
The members also decided
that the Lodge will hold its
regular monthly meetings on
the first Sunday of each
month, instead of the second
as has been our practice. The
sessions will begin at 9 AM.
Grand Old Man Saluted
One of the highlights of the
was the presentation
of a golden lapel Pin from
the Croatian Fraternal Union
to bro. Stephen Novalich,
commemorating so years of
membership in our organi-
zation. Members Of tn e
Lodge also honored bro. No
valich with a Parker pen and
pencil set.
