Gwendolyn Moon, Johnson Low
EFT, Ralph Thompson, Larry Low
EFT, Ralph Ross. Secretary Eugene
Moon.
At IL am, listening to Ralph
Ross leading the devotion, made
each feel as a new creature in
Christ because the spirit w s
there. Then hearing the Junior
choir singing as famed artists,
along with the pianist Christene
Cooper and Roscoe Speed, organ
list, ringing the chimes of gospel
song touched each heart. Listen
ing to Eugene reading the scrip
ture Miss Janice Powell reading
the "Do r" by Eueene Fields; Err
ma Wilson recited "Nobody's
Child"
Elder William Atkins, a young
minister preached great sermon
taken from Gen. $50, subject: A
call unto life. He was given $1O.O3

new church.
At $50 BTU, a song feast by
the youth was enjoyable.
The 7:30 pm. evening worship.
Prayer was delivered by the pas
tor who commended the children
for great performances
Thought For The Week
Familiarizing a young child
with prayers establishes a firm
foundation that later leads to
daily devotionS with the Lord,
and study of the Holy Scripture.

Society's Movie
Top Entertainment

Detroit, Mich. - The first
social event to mark the End
Anniversary of the founding

film.
This informative and color
full film should be seen by all
our CFU members as we'll as
those non-members who are
interested in knowing more
about the Croatian Fraternal
Union.
Our Mothers Club is inter-
ested in beginning tamburitza
classes for those children of
our Nest who would like to
learn to play this instrument.
We have made a fair start
toward obtaining instruments
but still need many more. If
you have any such instru-

would appreciate the loan or
sale of them to us.
The showing of the film by
our Club is for the sole pur-

Plan Grandiose Welcome
The pre-Junior Convention
festivities will get off to a
colorful city-wide start on
Friday, July 1, with ceremo-
nies which should be remem-
bered for years.
Planned is a roaring "Wel-
come To Gary" gathering
that evening in the lobby of
Hotel Gary Of all Delegates
to the 4th National Junior
Convention, who will be pho
tographed and then serena
ded by a tamburitza ensem-
BILE and the Nest 10 Kolo Dan
GERS attired in their beautiful
national costumes.
After this royal welcome
the Delegates will be
whisked via chartered bus
ses to the Croatian Center,
where they will be guests
of honor at a Get-Together
Party and enjoy dancing to
tamburitza music and re-
freshments.
Preparations for this open
ing night of nights" will be
carried out by Lodge ITO,

Mothers Club, with Lodge

day there must be added 9TH
er inducements and tangible
attractions.
In these changing times
every organization has been
placed, and properly so, on a
business like competitive ba-
sis. Under such conditions the
individual member is bound
to benefit. This is the good
old American system which
has produced the worlds
highest standard of living.
Our CFU has to compete
with other fraternal bene-
fit societies and even with
old line insurance cOmpa-
nies. 1t does this most ef-
fectively by giving bigger
benefits, better contracts
and a hundred and one 9th
er special, concrete services
which have no peer in the
insurance world.
Last week we discussed at
length our annual Junior Or
der waivers of five months
Term dues. We pointed out
that this is the 21st consecu-
tive such award. We further
detailed the fact that the
waivers together. with the
initial prepaid dues and the
Term transfer credits actual
ly more than return every
cent of the paid-in dues.
Considering the fact that
the Junior member has had
the benefit of insurance COW
erage for all that time this is
indeed a fact that has no
equal in the industry.

AS announced on these pa

Croatian Center.
De f i nj t e arrangements

will do complete justice to a
national gathering of this
type.

cent stage of the Croatian
Center during the Conven-
ton business sessions will
be the elected Convention
officials, one set comprised
of Junior Delegates and the
other of Honorary Dele

will acquaint us with many
important phases and bene-
fits of our Society of which
we are not fully aware. We
urge our members to meet
with him and exchange views
and opinions about our great
organization.
Likewise, this will also be
the very first time that our
young ladies, the mothers of
the youngsters housed in the
Nest, will endeavor to prepare
a banquet feast and we are
in hopes that many more such
affairs will be promoted in
the future.

quet and dance are beng SOLD

}OZo Reduction In l949

800 Reduction In 1949
Let us now turn to another
outstanding benefit enjoyed
by c. F. u. members-those
Juniors and Seniors possess
ing the permanent type certi-
ficates.
If our memory serves us
correctly the Society, in
1949, reduced it's dividend
by 500. To be sure there
was an immediate howl of
protest which the certifi-
cate holders as members of
a democratic organization
had every right to express.
However there was a good
reason for the reductions AS
we all know the Society had
thousands upon thousands of
outstanding certificates based
upon 31L and even 4f6. This
was an unbearable burden in
a period when the organiza-
ton was earning only 213b
and even less on it's millions
of government bonds.
A decision had to be made
to base all certificates on &c
but to do this the huge sum
of S1,70O,O00.00 had to be
found somewhere to satisfy
the needed reserve equipment.
Society Remains On Top
Though the administration
had the right and power to
collect this amount via spe-
cial assessment, it took the
less painful avenue of divi-

upon recommendation by the
lodges.
Many other fraternals i'm
pose no restrictions from a
nationality standpoint for
some time. and it is neither
right nor beneficial to us that
we keep the door forever
closed to other Americans
and Canadians with whom we
are daily associating, and
whom we otherwise consider
to be excellent membership
prospects and good insurance
risks"
Delegates Against Idea
When this addition to the
bylaws appeared on the a.
genda before the Convention,
the Bylaws Committee a.
greed that the above quoted
sentence. which would per-
NIT acceptance as members
of the Union of applicants
who are of non-Slavic origin,
be omitted from the proposed
bylaws, and that the recon-
mendation of the Executive
Board be rejected.
The Minutes of the
Eighth Convention show
that many delegates spoke
on this subject. As Chair
man of the Convention, and
as a member of the Execu-
tive Board, 1 explained that
such an amendment would
not open the door to all ap-
plicants of non-Slav nation
alities, but rather only to
those, as would be recon-
mended by the lodge and
approved by the Executive
Board.
Brother George Grzetich,
delegate and president of
Lodge 229 of South Chicago,
said that Should this be a.
dopted, we would lose every
distinction as Croatians and
be lost in the international
melting pot of society. We al
ready permit, in certain in
stances, the acceptance of ap-
plicants of other nationalities
if they are married to our
members, and that is as it
should remain. He moved that
the old method be retained"
Brother Joseph Bazdarich,
delegate and president of
Lodge No. 30, said that he
"has nothing against other
nationalities, but we are an
organization of Croatians
and Slavs. Our main purpose
is not bowling or to enroll
the best bowlers, but our
chief purpose is to gather our
people into our organization,

VentlOnS or the Society. IN
1851, the Executive Board in
cluded in it's proposed amend
ments to the bylaws, the fol-
lowing addition to one of the
sections of the bylaws:
'In special cases, on re-
commentator of the lodge,
the Executive Board may
accept into membership an
applicant of non-Slav ORR
GIN"
This provision was a very
limited one, for it specifically
provides that the Executive
Board may accept applicants
of other nationalities only in
special cases, and not gener-
ally
It'll; wrote several articles
about this amendment before
the Eighth Convention, and
in my Message to the dele
gates to the convention, l sta
ted the following:
What Was Said In 1851
cat various conferences
held by representatives of our
lodges within the last two
years, as we'll as at lodge
meetings, there were discus
sions on accepting into men,
bership persons of other than
Croatian or SlN nationalities.
"The Executive Board, as
the Bylaws Committee, is
recommending to you the
acceptance of a provision,
whereby applicants of 9TH
er nationalities could be ac-
cepted into membership in
our Union, with the appro-
val of the Executive Board.
"This means that every
case will have to be decided
individually on it's own merits.
We now have members of
other nationalities in our So
ciety, accepted through inter-
marriage, but we have no pro-
vision whereby other men,
bers of, for instance, in-laws'
families could become men,
bers of the Union. There are
so many of our younger pec-
pie having business associa-
tions with young men and wo-
men of other nationalities,
who would love to join our
Society, but for the nationali-
ty restrictions in our bylaws.
II don't believe that we are
quite ready as yet to leave the
door wide open to all nation
alities without restriction.
The acceptance of the By
Laws Committee recommen-
dation, however, will answer
the demands of many men,
bers for the time being, by
giving the Executive Board
the power to accept appli-
cants of other nationalities
