svoje protivnike'. I mjesto,
da nacionalisti IL toga po-
vuku pouku da Sc osvijeste,
oni dalje i u svijetu i kod
kuce propovijedaju klanje.
Tako, po rijecima Victoria
Meiera, u Beogradu, ma sla-
wanna i po kafanama, i ne
govore o drugom, nego "ka-
ko &c obracunati 8 Hrvatima
i ostvariti svoje stare srbi-
janske snove", kad komuni-
sticki rezim padne. cinjenica
je, da su ovakvi pomahnitali
nacionalisti komunistima o.
tvorili put k vlasti i da su
oni / dan danji najjaci stup

goslaviji.
Sto Sc obitelji Pribicevic

da Sc njegov brat Milan hva-

ma 461 1882. U pravoslavnoj
Bugarskoj, koja je kao pra-
voslavna, po G. Pribicevicu,
morala imati visoku narodnu
svijest, dozivio je ovo: Gdje-
god bi Sc pojavio, pitao bi
ga narod odakle je, a on bi
odgovorio: iz Franki $ t a n

financial SIDE or transactions
suspensions and surren-
ders, but such losses should
be held to a minimum.
Brother Babic mentions a
specific case, when a member
Of 80 years standing, who had
reached the age of 60, applied
for a cash surrender in his
lodge and took out a policy
with a life insurance compa-
ny, because he was talked in
to it by someone in his family
who is an agent for the COM
pany.
Pressure To Withdraw
This is one example of ex-
IRENE shortsightedness.
Imagine the high premium
he will have to pay for his
new policy at his present age
and what a loss he sustained
by dropping out of the C.F.U.
True, such extremes are
not numerous, but we can
point to many others, where
we lost members because Of
family attitudes towards the
organization, especially a.
mong the younger set.
A member marries outside
of his or her nationality, and
while they were faithful
members before the marriage,
soon afterwards things begin
to change and in due time we
receive an application for
cash surrender of their policy.
Evidentl tly there was
pressure put upon them to
drop out of the C.F.U. and
such pressure in many Ca
ses succeeds.
Thus two parties become
losers, the member who has
given up valuable member
ship and the organization.
Secretaries Important
We depend a lot on our
lodge secretaries to hold such
shaky members in the fold, as
they are the only ones who
can come in personal contact
with them.
Upon them lies a great re-
sponsibility, which has be-
come more and more recog-
nized by the Supreme Office.
Unlike years ago, our Sec
retaries are now eligible fol
conservation awards, if they
can maintain or increase
their membership.
And, perhaps, in the near
future, they will also be
paid for their regular work
: from the Supreme Office.
We are now in the midst o1
one of the greatest campaigns
for new members we have ev
; er had. So important ane
: large in scope it is, offering
such attractive prizes, that il
: surely deserves special atten
ton from every member o.
the Union.
But more about this in the
coming issue.
