Just why, because she is de-
pendable, honest and sincere
with her work, and being
known for her activities,
knows just how to go about
things.
We don't mean that we
wouldn't know how, but
there are some lodge broth
ers and sisters and maybe
friends that we think will do
very we'll in the volunteer
work group. What sometimes
happens is that he is doing
more damage than profit, in
other words, stabbing the
chairman in the back, so that
members can laugh what a
failure the affair was.
Each To His Own Taste
Are there many people of
our CFU that are interested
in Croatian dances, language
and affairs? We could count
them on our fingers.
We know that sis. Knaflic
is a Milwaukee girl and is
doing all she can. Our Amer
ican mothers of Slav descent
are trying to carry this
through with her. We don't
want the members to say
that the Mothers Club is do
ing everything. We are try
ing to help you and to ask
our children to perform like
you had been asking others
in previous years to perform
for you.
If some of us like to do
charity work, as well as for
the welfare of our lodges and
club, it is up to us. We are
the ones to fulfill the job; we
don't see the one that is cri-
itching doing it. Our Club is
trying it's best to raise money
through card parties and 9th
er affairs so that we can, pay
for our Halls where we prac-
tice dancing. We also plan to
start a tamburitza orchestra.
We haven't heard anyone say
that they will donate us some
money, like you read in the
newspapers where OF h e r
Americans are donating for
good causes.
Let's all give a good hand
when needed and appreciate

Rox Lodges To Stage
Annual Outing July 9Th
AT Well Known Grounds

McKees Rocks, Pa. - The
two Rox affiliates of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union, Lodge
1875 "Sveti Josip i Malta"
and Lodge 143 Spirits will
hold their annual picnic Sun
day, July 9Th. AS in the past
four years of this joint en-
deavor, the site of the outing
will be the we'll known Ru-
precht's Grove located off
Mccoy Road in McKees
Rocks.
The committee composed
Of officials from the two
lodges has made meticulous
arrangements for your ulti-
mate satisfaction. Ruprecht's
Grove is accessible to our
out-of-town friends via u. S.
Route 81 over Mccoy Road,
the foot of which is but 1900
feet from the south end of
the McKees Rocks-North
Side Pittsburgh bridge.
Janjetina to which we have
accustomed much of our nom
Croat populace will be avail
able from 800 P. M. It is
expected that there will be a
clinking of glasses, tall and
short, of cooling refresh
ments.
Music for the picnic will
be furnished by the Three
Kings, whose rendition of
polka and jazz dance music
is assuredly expected to
satisfy the young and the old
timer.
Speaking of old-times, Nc
Kees Rocks is an old Z. F. U.
colony, wherein even many
C. F. U. members from other
Pittsburgh area lodges reside.
This picnic then is a good op-
portunity. to associate in an
atmosphere typically frater-
nal and with a tinge of Gro
atian setting.
Picnickers will participate
in a drawing for a door prize
which will cost them nothing
in admission, the multiples of
opportunity to be ascertained
by the amount of refresh
ment tickets purchased.
In closing we extend you a
cordial invitation to Rup-
recht's Grove, Sunday, July
9Th, where plenty Of shelter
against rain or sun and am
pie space for parking facilities
awaits you.

er than the Society itself. 1t
has served as the truest en-
bodiment of our national gen.
erosity.
1t represents the concerted
effort of our people to live up
to the tenets Of brotherly
love - they are truly - their
brothers keeper"
Home Never Criticized
We personally have had the
opportunity of travelling far
and wide amongst our men,
bership.
The members have been
and will continue to be out
spoken-that is the hallmark
of our great organization. In
t h a t traditionally inherent
disregard for "stara praksa
for stara praksa's sake" they
have been quick to question
the management of the Soci-
ETY.. They have never been
reticent in criticizing policy
or expenditures, as is their
right.
We can say however,
and say it with pride, that
never have we heard even
a whisper of criticism re-
garding the burden each
and every one of us shares
in the support of the Home.
1t would seem that each
and every one of us-now
100000 strong-feels that
the Children's Home of the
CFU is our own particular
altar of fraternalism.
Had the CFU done nothing
else in these 81 years of it's
existance but maintain the
Home it would have truly
earned the respect and es-
TEEN of everyone. It has in
deed carved a prominent
place for itself in the realm of
humanit a r i a n i s m. 1t has
proudly adhered to the pre-
cepts Of the First Fraternal-
list.
Is it any wonder then that
our Union can boast of more
than 800 participants in its
current membership drive?
Yes, this grass roots army of
recruiters is in itself a tri-
butte to the organization.
These zealots are possessed
by a fraternalism which seeks
expression in the desire to
share membership with 9TH
ers. They are the dedicated
missionaries of a way of life
the CFU life-the love of
fellow man!

brightest by far is our Chile
magnificence of magnanimi-
ty. it would be superfluous to
60 into a detailed history of
the Home.
We can simply say that it
began some Al years ago
when II lodges of the then
National Croatian Societ t y
and the Croatian Society of
Illinois formed a Udruga, fed
GRAFTON, for the purpose of
rearing the orphaned children
Of Croats in America.
From the beginning the
federation was an autono-
nous body receiving assis-
tance from both Societies and
from dedicated individuals.
With the merger of the
Societies in 1926 the CrOa-
tian Orphanage formally
passed into the hands of
the CFU and was officially
designated as the Chill
dren's Home of the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union.
Until we had the actual
physical plant, or Home as it
is now developed, the fedora
ton gave moral and financial
assistance for the orphans
who were domiciled in vari-
GUS institutions.
Steady Decline Sets In
BY 1927 our proud estab-
lishment at Des PLANES was
ready for occupancy and the
first children arrived in Aug
ust of that year.
Within 10 years - by
1887 - the Home had re-
ceived hundreds of unfor-
tunate waits and in that
year alone there were las
children under it's protec-
tive roof. From then on
there has been a steady de-
cline in occupants - a
sure sign of definite i'm
provement in the general
well being of our people
and America as a whole.
During the great depres.
sion the Home welcomed its
record number of children
There was and is another We.
ry important factor affecting
the Homes population. In
earlier years there were few
if any, Social Agencies which
cared for orphaned children.
Nowadays every State has
numerous bodies which al.
most jealously look after the
interests Of these unfortu.
mates. This too is an improve
ment with which we certainly
have no quarrel.
Salvation For Family
Our Society has performed
a wonderful service in the
maintenance of the Home. II
provided a true home fol-
hundreds of waits who would
have otherwise been thrown
out into the world -- yes out
into the streets.
In the years gone by when
our people were, in the main
