ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-04-25
WHAT WAS SAID in the editorial i

question happens to be the truth.
This does not necessarily apply to both
of Americas S major political parties - but
it most certainly has been the practice in
recent years of one of them
In fact, the good offices Of the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union of America were
called into play in 1854 to assure one of
its. members of seat high in the political
councils Of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania, post he still holds.
And how was the Croatian Fraternal
Union of America able to do so?
Simply because the victorious political
party of 1854 was reminded that ours is
the largest fraternal benefit society char
tered in the Comm of Pennsylvania
and was entitled to some long overdue re-
cognition on the state level. That reminder
paid dividends in time.
THERE is, of course moral to this
particular editorial Of ours.
1t is simply this E.
The younger members of the Croatian
Fraternal Union Of America interested in
bettering themselves in public life should
never hesitate to call attention to their
membership in the greatest organization of
it's kind in the world and one of the 25 most
powerful fraternals in North America
Let no one tell them that group loyalty
means nothing in the end.
If they are in doubt or not convinced,
let them bide their time until the 1856 pres
idential election campaigns get under way
and hear the candidates appeal openly for
group support - the Croats included

Time To Change

A pointed out on these pages last week
~ by Supreme President bro. V. l. Man
dich, members of the Society may again
lity and Operation Plan.
The decision to reopen this privilege was
handed down during the March, 1856, semi
annual meetings of the Supreme Board of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
The transfer period will end once and
for all on December 81, 1856
X x X
OUR MEMBERS know or they
should know - that all operations are not
covered under the terms governing the "Old
Plan in vogue for a good many years.
This led in the past to many and bitter
complaints on the part Of those unable to
collect for certain operations and resulted
in the adoption of New Disability and
Operation Plan by the Los Angeles, Calf,
Convention of 1851.
Thousands transferred to the New Plan
after it went into effect January l, 1852,
but many more thousands remained on the
Old Plan when the original transfer period
expired some time ago.
X
IN MARCH of this year Sick Benefit
Department Secretary bro, John Ovcarich
reported to the Supreme Board that as of
December 81, 1855, there were 47,O63 Ame-
rican and Canadian members insured for
Disability Operation Benefits.
Of these, 29, 867 members were still car
rying the Old Plan and 1876 were enjoy
ing the protection of the New Plan.
With these facts and figures at hand,
and anxious to make the Society of even
greater service, the Supreme Board then
voted to again reopen the transfer period
and give those concerned another, probably
last, opportunity to associate themselves
with the by far better New Plan.
The time to change is now Tomorrow
may be too late for those on the Old Plan.
A word to the wise is still sufficient.

Regarding this impasse he
said:
"My system was based
on the use of low frequen-
cy currents and the West
inghouse experts had adop-
ted 1873 cycles with the
object of securing advan-
tages in the transforma-
ton.
"They did not want to
depart from their stan
dard forms of apparatus
and my efforts had to
be concentrated upon
adapting the motor to
these conditions.
Another necessity was
to produce a motor capable
of running efficiently at
this frequency on two
wires, which was not an
easy accomplishment"
Tribute To Great Man
BY the end of 1889, al
most five years before the
founding of today's Croa-
tian Fraternal Union of
America, Tesla's services
at the Westinghouse plant
in East Pittsburgh, Pa,
were no longer essential.
He then returned to
New York and resumed his
research and experimental
work in his laboratory on
Grant Street.
But he was not for
gotten by the Westing-
house Electric Corpora
ton, which in 1893 pub
Hshed a book under the
title of Electric Power
Transmission Patents -
Tesla's Polyphase Sys-
tenn" and had this t. say
about the genius:
In the course Of our
Investigations into thc sub
ject of power transmission
we came upon the inven-
tions of Mr.. Nikola Tesla,
now so we'll known for his
remarkable achievements,
and recognizing the value
and originality of his dis
coveries, and the funda-
mental character of his pa
tents, and we at once Sc
cured the exclusive right
to manufacture and sell
apparatus covered by these
patents, with a right to
any further inventions Mr..
Tesla might make :"

politicians are very practical citizens and
subject to pressures from these self-same
groups. The commentary is one which re-
veals that group Identification has become
such an important factor in the thinking of
every man that those who wish to secure
support for an office or a program must
find ways of appealing to the group loyal
ties of individuals"

their stay IN tnaC lana,
chiefly in the beautiful Re-
public of Croatia.
For example: w h at
personal effects may be
brought in to Yugoslavia
free of duty?
These would include es-
sential toilet requisites
and various objects for
personal use such as cam
eras, radio, binoculars,
musical instruments,
typewriter, a portable re-
cord player with 20 re-
cords, sporting and camp
ing equipment Zone arti-
Gle per person only, and
other small objects.
These articles may be
brought in duty free on one
condition - that their own
ers take them out of the
country when they bid adieu
to Yugoslavia.
Re: Root OF All Evil"
What about money?
The monetary unit of Yu-
goslavia is the Dinar. Coins
of y, 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 Di-
mars, and notes of 1, 5, 10,
20, so, 100, 500 and 1000
Dinars are in use.
At the time this article
was written the official rate
of exchange was 300 Dinars
for one United States DOL
lar, or $40 Dinars for Bri-
tish One Pound Sterling.
Unlimited amounts of for
eign currency may be
brought into Yugoslavia in
banknotes, checks, letters
of credit, etc. All these
should be declared to the
custom authorities when en-
tering Yugoslavia.
Tourists from the Uni
ted States and Canada
may also bring with them
to YugosIavia up to 1,5OO
Dinars i'm notes of 100 or
less.
Foreign currency may be
exchanged at any entry sta
ton in Yugoslavia, at the
offices of the National Bank,
at authorized exchange Of
fices, or in certain travel
bureaus. Unused amounts in
Dinars can be reconverted
through the National Bank.
Summer-Weight Clothes
Next, what sort of cloth
ing should one take on this
trip of trips?
Since the CFU Tour Par
ty will be visiting Yugosla-
via in August, only summer
weight clothing is necessary.
In smaller resorts flan-
nels or shorts with an
open neck (sport) shirt
are the usual wear for
gentlemen, with the ladies
attiring themselves in
light summer gowns.
Light shoes or sandals
are very convenient for the
climate here and a pullover
sweater, or light jacket, is
suggested when going on
excursions, boating, etc.
Sun glasses are also re-
commended, especially in
August of the year.
What About Cigarettes:
I am a smoker. What a.
bout cigarettes, cigars, etc.,
in Yugoslavia?
You may bring up to
200 cigarettes, or $50
grains of pipe tobacco, or
20, cigars, duty free into
Yugoslavia.
Should you run out, you
will find Yugoslav tobacco
to be mild and of a fine aro-

Orchids To "29"

WYE have attended many ma jOr affairs
w of the Croatian Fraternal Union dur
ing our tenure as the English Editor of the
Society's Official Organ.
But we have never looked forward with
more relish to one than the Goth Anniver-
sary Celebration of "St. Anna Lodge 20
of North Side Pittsburgh, the oldest and
largest Ladies Lodge within the framework
of the Society.
Here is a fete deserving of widespread
support one which should draw a capacity
crowd Sunday, April 29, to Javor Hall, 822
North Canal Street, North Side Pittsburgh.
X
THE MEMBERS of Lodge 20 may we'll
take pride in the history of their Lodge,
which came into existence shortly after the
birth of the Society itself in 1894.
Much water has gone over the proven
bal dam since the inception six decades ago
Of Lodge 20, but the past and present mem
bers Of this Lodge never wavered over the
years in their loyalty to the Croatian Fra
ternal Union of America.
Through thick and thin, stress and du-
ress, Lodge % for 60 years never once gave
up on a Society which has weathered many
a storm since it came into being.
There were times, to be sure, when the
Croatian Fraternal Union found itself fac
ing retrogression during the Great De-
preston of the 1905 for one. But not even
that national economic upheaval could sway
the faith of Lodge 20 in the Society.
Small wonder then that the above
heading reads Orchids To '29.'"
