pare for these departments.
For an organization such
as our Croatian Fraternal
Union, whose income runs in
to 7 digits, it's assets into 8
and it's insurance in force
close to 8 digits, and whose
sphere of operations spans
two vast countries, this is in
deed a task supreme. When
compiled it will furnish the
state supervisory bodies with
a graphic picture of the So
ciety's strength and overall
condition.
Though at the time of this
writing the job was not COM
pletely finished it had pro-
gressed far enough to enable
us to see that the fiscal per-
iod just ended had been ano-
ther banner year. Our Union
had scored more successes,
reached new heights, attained
greater goals.
This bright picture is
characteristic of the entire
organization, but we will
here concern Ourself with
the Junior Order Depart
ment only. We had previ-
ously reported that the de-
.partment had reached a
new mark in membership
which now stood at 34,629.
This represents a gain of
618 members for the year.
The departmental insur-
ance in force reached $22,-
198,300.0O, another record,
and an increase of $60O,100
over the previous year.
With the elimination of
graded death benefits on all
but a few Of the old Term
contracts, this means that
for the first time in it's four
decades this astronomical fl
gure definitely represents ac'
tual mortuary coverage.
Ranks With The Elite
Just three and one half
years ago the Junior Order
had finally joined the select
circle of million dollar organ.
izations.
Today it boasts of a new
peak of 81, ,466, 1865 in as
sets - a progress that in
creases with marked acce-
leration.
Even in the category OF
annual income our juvenile
branch has become ''big busi.
ness" for in the past year we
took in $3O7, $500, of which
close to a quarter of a million
dollars represents dues pay.
ments.
Yes, verify, this is a far cry
from those days when, as re.
Gently stated in an article ap-
pearing in the Zajednicar
''the Junior Order at one time
actually had more members
when it had over $4,000 just
Term holders than it has now
with close to $4,000 because
now we have permanent type
certificates and each contract
is considered as a member"
A Powerful Organization
We doubt that even with
some duplication there are
less members now, but there
certainly can be no equivoca.
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-02-22

ton about the fact that the
increase in insurance in force
represents close to 3 million.
With $4,000 Term members
only, taking into account the
annual waivers, the total an
nual premium income could
not have exceeded $45, 900.
Today we take in exactly
$238,928.23, certainly a diff
ference which defies any
comparison and is a cerdit
to our Nest Managers who
do the collecting, to the
parents who correctly eva
luate the benefits of this
new c0verage, and to the
Society as a whole for
making available this new
and improved protection
and savings.
These then are the irrefu-
table facts that make our Ju-
nior Order by itself a giant
in the fraternal world. These
are the statistics which make
our juvenile branch larger
than many, yes larger than
most, fraternal benefit soci-
eties.
In a listing Of 1856 such or
CARNATIONS our Junior Order
is by itself larger than 116 of
these.
Recruiters Can Profit
Everyone likes a winner.
Everyone wants to follow the
champion. 1t is human nature
to follow the crowd.
Well our CF'U is that win
ner, is that champion, has
that attraction which draws
the crowd. For these reasons
it is continuously progressing.
For these reasons it should be
that much easier to obtain
new recruits for our ever ex-
panding house of fraternal-
ism.
During the current spec
tacular membership drive
tell your prospect of the
bigness of your organiza-
ton. Tell him of it's vast
geographic domain, of its
impressive str eng h i'm
members and assets.
Tell him, most of all, about
it's benevolences and truly
fraternal character. Tell him
of it's enviable socio-sports-
cultural programs. Tell him
of the countless benefits over
and above the stipulations OF
the mere insurance contract
These facts more than any
"gift of CAB" will sell your
organization as they have
sold it for over six proud de.
cades of progress.

St. Francis Gave
Much to Christmas

Some 400 years before Saint
Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, per-
formed the many acts of generos-
ity and kindness which made his
life a great legend and gave him
the Santa Claus" character we
know today. another Saint St.
Francis of Assist made other con-
tributions to our celebration of
Christmas.
st. Francis lived in the small
Italian village of Garcia. In the
year 1900 AID, st. Francis ar
ranged the first manger scene IN a
cave near the monastery where he
lived. The scene was typical of that
at Bethlehem. There was a man.
ger filled with hay. an OK and an
ass. St. Francis and his followers
celebrated mass at the cave and
sang hymns in honor of the Christ
Child.
Himself a lover of music, st.
Francis believed that the early
chants written in Latin were too
theological to be popular. He felt
that Christmas music should be re
ligious, yet should be more in keep
ing with the festivity spirit. He is
generally credited with being the
influence behind the more modern
Christmas carols. which spread
from Italy to France. from there
to Germany; then to England and
elsewhere.

lunch, we often hear a soft plop,
which is Ozzie jumping down oil
his cage which is a height OF
II inches. He mosies over to the
kitchen table expecting tidbits
which he may eat, only smell,
or accept merely to throw down.
Invariably he takes at least one
look and sniff at his contorted
reflection in the chrome leg of
the kitchen table.
Then Importantly he inSpects
what each of us holds down
to him before making his choice,
with which he scurrieS under the
refrigerator. We have wondered
how long it will be before his
curiosity leads him to investigate
the gas flame under the refriger-
ator. This probably would result
in a Squeal, singed whiskers and
a very bushed-up tail - a trail
that indicates anger or fear.
Although considered old, he is
not beyond learning new tricks.
To him now, the word 'here"
means there is something avail
able that might prove to be good
eating. When attentiveneSS seems
to run low, a spin on his tread
mill usually attracts the desired
attention and an offer of some
delicacy.
Mother squirrel had apparently
abandoned him when only a few
old and at far too young IN
age he was out III search of sus-
tenance. This made it a simple
for his original owner to
catch and tame him. His baby
lays were passed then in lush
surroundings - a soft, warm bed
