The florist ilousiness must be
coming along well these days.
The use of fresh cut flowers in
the home, ct church, at business
AS a means of expressing APP
probation, congratulations, wishes
for recovery, and sympathy show
a definite cultural development
on the part of people. Many things
OF beauty are. transient like flow
ers but their effect on their beau
" is endless. A weekly corSage,
or a bouquet of mixed flowers,
or a dozen or so of seasonal flow
ers would certainly make a
thoughtful gift. Our two florists
will be happy to receive and full

Pitt University
Backing Project

PITTSBURGH - h
University Of Pittsburgh,
in cooperation with the
Pittsburgh Council on In
tercultural Education, is
launching a new project in
human relations.
A Workshop in Intercul-
tural Education will be
held on the campus Of
Chatham College from All
gust Is to %, 1856. It's
purpose: To study the
principles Of intergroup
relations and to apply them
to practical problems in
teaching, social work and
community relationships.
The project is in keep
ing with Pittsburgh's far
reaching future plans as a
city, plans which have at
tracted international atten-
ton and community de-
signers to "revamp" their
centers before it is too late
to do as much.

ing horrors of another
world war.
Among the weapons to
be used, beside atomic and
hydrogen bombs, we read
about rockets and guild
ed missiles" According to
DR.. Tesla these implements
of war will be controlled
either mechanically or by
wireless. Here is how he
put it:
by installing proper
plants it will be practical to
project a missile of this
kind into the air and drop
it almost on the very spot
designated, which may be
thousands of miles away.
But we are not going to
stop at this. Telautomata
will be ultimately produced,
capable of acting as if pos
sessed of their own intelli-
gence, and their advent will
create a revolution"
And the revolution of
which DR.. Tesla spoke in
1919 is here. 1t is a "revo-
luton that goes on
throughout the scientific
world.
1t was made possible by
the inventions of this great
man, who was born in Smi-
liam, Lika, Croatia, July
10, 1856. The inventions:
Tesla Coil or Oscillation
Transformer; his Magnify
ing T~ransmitter; his Va
cuum Tube; Telautoma-
tics; Wireless System; and
many other inventions and
devices.

Folk Festival

r he 1856 Pittsburgh Folk Festival, the
] first such nationalities undertaking in
the nearly observation-disclosures old history of
the city, should prove to be thrilling.
Sponsored by Duquesne University, the
Festival is to be held June 90 and take
place in Syria Mosque. Eighteen nationali-
ties in all are scheduled to participate in a
two-day show of the first magnitude.
Participating will be groups represent
ing the Croatians, Scots, Hungarians, Bull
garians, Americans at large, Germans, Rus
slams, Slovaks, Greeks, Italians, Lithuani-
ans, Lebanese, Polish, Carpatho-Russians
Ukrainians, Irish, Israeli and Chinese, the
great majority of whom have never seen
the respective homelands of their forebears
and probably never will.
And yet they will wear the native cos
tune of the country of those forebears and
sing and dance with a nationalistic pride
which helped make America the great ma
ton that it is today.

North Side Pittsburgh, Pa, will recall the above picture.

Official Organ of the National Croatian Society, forerun-
ner of today's Croatian Fraternal Union of America. The
'Javor" Glee Club is still in existence and took part May
1921 in the National Singing Festival held in Chicago
under the auspices of the American Croatian Singers
Federation. The Festival was a tremendous success.

OUR PART in the May 1921 push was

to us, an insignificant one.

mittee's "Fraternal Homecoming Dinner

words had the two undertakings been poor

1t took cooperation to make the Dinner
and Meeting the unconditional successes
that they were. 1t took the young and old
to put those undertakings over. 1t took love
for organization to see May 20-21, 1856, go
down as the most memorable fraternal
days our Kansas City members have ex-
perienced in Is years.
1t took all of that to send us home proud
of the fact that we were selected by the

the guest of honor during those days.

Should you find that
someone ''beat" DR.. Tesla
to the punch in this scien-
tific respect, please let us
know who it was. We won't
be hearing from you!
Tesla Telautomatics
Let us turn now to what
the scientists know as Tesla
Telautomatics.
Operated by his wireless
system, the invention was
proclaimed at the time to
be most sensational" 1t
must have been, because
DR.. Tesla could not secure
a patent before the Exami-
ner-in-C Chief h i m S e ar
rived in New York to see
it in operation. 1t was UNI
believable.
Finally in November of
1898 DR.. Tesla secured the
desired patent. And how
did he operate that boat"
known as Tesla Telautoma-
tics? In his own words:
II employed receiving
circuits in the form of
loops, including condcn-
sers, because the dis
charges of my high-ten-
sion transmitter ionized
the air i'm the hall SO that
even a very small aerial
would draw electricity
from the surrounding at
mospherc for hours"
In demonstrating his in
vention before audiences,
the visitors were requested
to ask any questions, how
ever involved, and the auto
maton would answer them
by signs.
DR.. Tesla himself tells us
that this was considered
magic at the time, but that
it was extremely simple,
for it was myself who gave
the replies by means of the
device"

interesting historical review of our people
than the serialized one now appearing under
the name of Stjepan Gazi, a member of

While the author will, in time, deal spe-

ago of the Croatian Fraternal Union, he is
at the moment covering the many reasons,
political, economic and social, why SO many
of our people had to emigrate to the Uni

Those who came to these shores decades
ago will not have forgotten their suffering
under the aristocracy so we'll portrayed in

Folk Festival will transpire June 9 and have
the widespread backing and support of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Representing the Croats that evening
will be the McKeesport Junior Tamburitza
Orchestra and the Cokeburg Kolo Group,
all the members of which are affiliated with
the Croatian Fraternal Union and proud of
their membership.
Interest in the Folk Festival is tremen-
dous locally and stems from the fact that
Pittsburgh happens to be one of Americas
largest so-called nationality c~enters' and
the home base of numerous nationality fra
ternal orders.
Yet orders for tickets for "Croatian
Night" June 9 have come from as far away
as Cleveland, Ohio, a tribute to the nation
wide circulation of the Zajednicar.
And a tribute to the national stature
of the Croatian Fraternal Union.

These may represent fighting words to

KANSAS CITY is about as dead AS

Mark Twain was back in 1897 when the
celebrated American author and wit was
reported as having died while spending a
vacation in Great Britain.
Advised of his passing" Twain turned
around and cabled the Associated Press in
New York as follows: The reports of my
death are greatly exaggerated"
We must admit as much in the case of
our Kansas City Lodges following our visit
there May 20-21 at the behest of the COM
munity's Central Educational Committee of
Lodges. Believe us, we attended no fun
eral' during our two-day official stay in
that busting city.
All that Kansas City needed May 20-21
was a push in the right direction, one that
will lead to a rebirth there of interest in the
Croatian Fraternal Union and result in &C
tivity which will benefit young and old alike.
Before we left, the necessary push was
accomplished and the Society's future in
Kansas City appears to be roseate.
