The TamburitZans

THE Duquesne University Tamburitzans'
| 1856 concert season brochure, por-
ton of which is reprinted elsewhere on this
page, calls attention to the fact that the
Croatian Fraternal Union has been bene-
factor of the group for years.
We are, of course, pleased to know
that the Tamburitzans entertain such
feeling of public respect for the Society
and the tens of thousands of it's men,
bers who annually support their concerts
i'm order that the ensemble may remain
a great American musical tradition.
With this spirit of cooperation, and
mutual respect, both the Croatian Frater-
nal Union and the Tamburitzans can look
forward to continued prosperity and wide
spread recognition in their respective fields
of endeavor on the national scene.
We feel perfectly safe in saying that
were it not for the moral and material sup
port of the Croatian Fraternal Union, there
would be no Duquesne University Tambur
itzans of today.
Some may argue that the ensemble
could have stood on its own two feet over
the years and come up the musical ladder
without the past blessings of the Society
But these people are hardly acquainted
with the beginnings nineteen seasons ago
of the Tamburitzans - hardly aware of
their struggles in those days to surmount
a thousand and one difficulties, not the
least of which was of financial nature of
the first magnitude.
Only modesty prevents us from de-
failing here the aid given by the Croatian
Fraternal Union to the Tamburitzans
during their lean years. days when SINH
lar other organizations contributed ex-
actly nothing to their common welfare.
But modesty does not prevent us from
saying that in the Croatian Fraternal Union
the Tamburitzans have found an angel
over the years, benefactor par excellence
with no strings attached.
Our fellow members may we'll take pride
in this very heart warming fact

This Is America!

\ AANY of our older members will recall,
wi with a shudder, those days in Amer
lean history when persecution of people for
tional sport, or pastime.
In recalling that era, they will also
remember that there was always some
one with courage - with intestinal for
titude who would arise i'm defense of
the prosecuted regardless of the weight
of the accusation against him.
1t took "guts' in those days to speak
out in defense of the prosecuted.
And it takes "guts' in these days to de-
fend those accused of this or that political
crime against our Country.
Which brings us to the Cleveland, Ohio
Bar Association, which has raised in excess
of $20,O00.00 from its members as part of
it's actual cash outlay for the defense of II
district Smith Act defendants now await
ing trial.
The defendants, who stand accused Of
advocating violent overthrow of the govern
ment in a statewide Ohio conspiracy plead
tu last january lndl lnev were without
money to finance their trial defense and
appealed for legal help. Cleveland bar lead
ers acted almost at once
These leaders met on January 18th,
1855, with the Red defendants" and
plans were made for collections from
lawyers in Cleveland to finance the trial
defense of this celebrated case
Law firms and individual members were
next solicited and asked for contributions
of $4,000 per lawyer And by August the
Cleveland Bar Associations executive
group began raising the $4,000 contribu-
tions to help compensate the battery of
court t-appolnted defense attorneys It's ul-
timate goal, S3O,OOOOo
All Of which must be source of amaze
ment to the people of Cleveland.
X
What else to say about the Cleveland
Bar Association and it's members?
Simply this: - Regardless of the out
come of this trial, which may take six
months, the Association stands as proof
positive that this is still America, still
land of men with CUTS"
Yes still land where one has nothing
to fear save fear itself.

True Is the point that
each of the students are
on a musical scholarship,
but only four are actually
pursuing music as a fu-
ture; the others are i'm
bu S in ess administration,
arts, science or education.
Each student, who sue
cessfully meets the require
ments of the Tamburitzans
and the University, receives
a degree in their selected
field and are then replaced.
Thus it is that every four
or five years there is a COM
plete change of personnel
within the ranks of the
troupe.
Support of the Tamburit-
zans comes from the COM
bined efforts of a citizens
committee headed by Mr.. Ed
ward A. Toocheck and Uni
versity. Concert proceeds and
contributions are put into a
fund which provides scholar
ships for deserving students.

With Best Wishes

INDER Section of it's democratic Con-
~ stitution, there is no place in the ranks
of the Croatian Fraternal Union for politics
or religious controversy.
But Section does not forbid the Edi-
tors of the Zajednicar to call to the at
tention of the membership those in their
midst striving to be elected to office.
In fact we consider it our duty to pub
licize the candidates. of such aspirants if
they are good Americans and loyal men,
bers of the Croatian Fraternal Union -
which, unfortunately, has not always been
the case in the past.
X X X
The English Section of the Zaiednicar
this week calls attention to three members
seeking either election or reelection to Of
flee Tuesday next, November s.
We cannot, of course, personally en-
dorse any single one of them.
That would amount to using these pages
for partisan political purposes and open the
doors to controversy. Our political affili-
alton in private life is one thing. To be
openly Democrat or Republican here is
another, far different thing.
OF course we would like to see these
fellow members of ours elected to office,
for the Cr0atian Fraternal Union can al
ways use men and women of stature who
are not ashamed that they are Amer
leans of Croat or other Slav descent.
But as we said, we cannot endorse them
under the Constitution of the Society. We
have never done so in the past eight years
of our own tenure in office.
However, we can and do wish them well
on the eve of the General Elections.

Catholics Save
The Day For Jews
Good Example Of
Frat Cooperation

Rochester, N. Y. - To the
writer the National Fraternal
Congress conventions have
always typified the degree of
team work which is possible
only in the United States and
Canada.
In the Congress are many
societies, made up of men,
bers from various religious,
national origins and trades.
They work together in unity
and good will. The list Of
member societies in a cross
section of America which is
an inspiration to see in action.
Undoubtedly one of the lead
ing causes of Americas pro-
gress is the intermingling Of
many units.
An incident in Brooklyn on
September II, 1855, was des-
cribed in many newspapers.
1t typifies this spirit of good
will and fraternal coopera-
ton. The heading was Cath

luton of the problem follows:
"a 60-piece band from a
Roman Catholic Church
marched in a Jewish parade
in Brooklyn yesterday when
a Synagogue lacked music for
the march accompanying ded-
ication of a new Torah, a holy
scroll of the ancient Jewish
Law.
"Rabf Arnold B. Marans
of the Synagogue of the
U nj e d Sephardim, had
sought a band for the tradi-
tional neighborhood parade,
but couldn't find one that
wasn't booked for the day.
REV. Paul Fiore, assistant
pastor of Our Lady Of Loret-
to Roman Catholic Church,
heard of the Rabbits dilemma
and offered his church's
band, complete with bright
uniforms and drum major

When first devised by

Americans of Yugolsav par

ment that is used today.
CFU Long A Supporter
Now numbering twenty
three performers and a staff
of four, the Tamburitzans
have made great strides
through the years.
Moving from small halls to
some of the nations finest
auditoriums, from auto-cara-
van to a 1866 Airglide bus,
the organization has plans
now to construct a new mem
orial-type dormitory which
will house the students, bus,
offices aqd a museum of Sla-
vic art.
With the continued aid
of the University, the Gro
atian Fraternal Union and
the many friends through
out the United States, the
group has come a long
way in it's climb to interna-
tional prominence.
In a new move to preserve
the culture and heritage of
the Yugoslavs, Managing Di-
rector Walter w. KOlar has
begun a Tamburitza School.
This, as well as the contin-
ued search for authentic
music and costumes, gives the
organization a solid position
in the musical world.
Student Side Of Group
1t would appear that the
business of entertaining is
the main purpose of the Tam

Secondly, but still of great
Importance is the desire,
through the performances, to
keep alive the rich and COL
orful folklore Of the Slavic
people.
