Historic Night

caturday evening, December 29, 1856
- should go down in the history of our
people on the North American Continent
Following script entitled "Tamburitza
Festival" more than 200 youthful and old
er tamburitzans will parade across the stage
of the city's Carnegie Hall, Oakland, that
evening to make Pittsburgh truly THE
least day.
Never before have so many tamburit-
zans answered the call to appear under the
same roof for the enjoyment of all who take
public pride in their heritage,
Never before has America seen anything
to equal this Show of Shows"
SEVEN ENSEMBLES in all will parti-
cipate in this historic undertaking on Satur-
day, December 20, at Carnegie Hall.
They are the Duquesne University Tam
buritzans and the Duquesne University
Tamburitzans Alumni Orchestra, represent
ing the "oldsters" in the field, and five
groups upholding the prestige of the rock
and rollsters," the McKeesport Junior Tam
buritzans, the ''Sloga" Junior Tamburtzans
of Farrell, the Holy Trinity Church Tam
buritzans of Ambridge the Clarion Junior
Tamburtzans, and the Teen-Tams of Pitts
burgh.
What sight this will be to behold in
the eyes of the friends of these artists,
young men and women and youngsters gi-
ven to the perpetuation of the culture of
their forefathers
What a sight indeed,

THE FIRST such "Tamburtza Festi-
VAL was held March Is, 1856 in Pitts
burgh's Syria Mosque and saw 112 tambur-
itzans in action during the momentous
program.
Now, nine months later nearly twice
that number are preparing for "tambo-
rec which may well outstrip anything of
similar nature ever attempted in the Land
of The Tambura Croatia.
Perhaps this could only happen in Ame-
RIGA, the Land of Everything

Paid In Full

Nne of the shoWplaces of our people in
~ the United States the imposing Gro
attain Center in Gary, Ind, is no longer on
the red side of the financial ledger.
An architectural masterpiece, the Cen
ter is the property of "Croatian Sons
Lodge 10 = the second largest Lodge in
the CFU universe and was dedicated in
style April 27-28-29, 1851.
We cannot recall what the Center cost
in dollars and cents, but we do know that it
took pretty penny to erect it and much
sweat to free it of onerous debt
Our congratulations to the members of
Lodge ITO on this momentous occasion in
their fraternal life, which they will mark
with Banquet Saturday, Dec. 20.

THIS CENTER has been the scene of
many noteworthy gatherings since it's ded-
ication some five and one-half years ago.
Probably the most memorable of the
events which took place here was the Gro
attain Fraternal Unions 4th National Junior
Convention, a continental meet which drew
Junior and Senior Honorary Delegates from
all parts of the United States, Canada, and
the Territory Of Alaska.
The dates: - July IA, 1855.
May Garys Croatan Center be the
scene of even greater gatherings in the fu-
ture now that it is 'out of the woods"

1856 Campaign resulted in the signing of
4,949 new adult and juvenile members and
the writing of S4,137 900 in new and in

THERE WAS another prediction we

THERE WAS another prediction we
made year ago, one concerning the 1856
Membership Campaign Grand Prize Award
of an all-expense paid visit to Yugoslavia.
Said we: - We predict for the Gro
attain Fraternal Union, in all seriousness,
international acclaim for contributing in
1856 to better relations between the United
States of America and Yugoslavia through
the medium of this Campaign.
And again as they say - touche!
Proof. Any one of the 130 American and
Canadian members who made that historic
visit to Yugoslavia in August-September
1856 either in the group headed by the
English Editor of the Zajednicar or the one
led by bro Michael Grasha, Junior Order
Director Of the Society.
Those were indeed $50 American and
Canadian Ambassadors of Good Will.
NOW, ON THE threshold of 1857, we
would again peer into the future.
First, we predict that the Croatlan Fra
ternal Union will on December 81, 1857 be
even greater and stronger than it is in this
period of it's colorful life.
Next, we foresee for the Society Mem
bership Campaign of the first water, one
during which an amazing number of Field
Workers will come to win the Grand Prize
Award of an all-expense paid visit to Cana
da in August of 1857.
Last but not least we predict that the
1857 Campaign goal of Sc millions in new
and increased adult and juvenile life insur
ance will be met in full.
All of this, of course, with one impor-
tant provision that there must be peace
in 1857, first, in the Society's Official Fa
mily and among its members in the United
States and Canada.

The act is known today as
the Taconite Tax Law. 1t IL
mited the amount of ad valo-
rem tax that could be assess
cd against taconite land and
mining and processing facili-
ties. 1t levied a special pro-

An important aspect of this
law was that it was sponsored
by the people who reaped the
biggest harvest from the ad

people of the Iron Range

Mr.. Basye announced his retirement in

realize profit.
