Goodwill Ambassadors

IA any times during the past Membership
fVI Campaign our tourists were referred
to as Goodwin Ambassadors to Yugoslavia.
Having known a number Of them we were
agreed that they could be referred to as
such without the slightest chance of error,
but after meeting and talking to the others
before their departure from New York we
were certain that this reference was under
stated.
Composed of Doctors, Teachers, Attor-
neys, Industrials Workers, Housewives,
Children, etc, that if it were carefully plan
ned more representative delegation could
not have been selected. 13O American Fra
ternalists, Ambassadors of Goodwill rep
resenting Freedom and Democracy as only
We Americans know and enjoy. We are
confident that they will contribute much to
better future relations by their expression
of our love to The People of the countries
visited.

Change OF Beneficiaries

Z very once in while the Home Office is
l. confronted with very complex prob
lem in deciding the proper beneficiary of a
deceased member who failed to change his
or her beneficiary when circumstances call
for such changes. This is especially true
among our older members who have rea-
tives in Europe. In failing to make these
changes at the time of the beneficaries
death they Great problem requiring inves-
legations of relationship which causes long
delays in determining the legal beneficiary
and much expense to the society.
Some time ago our Supreme Secretary
cited one case where due to a members
failure to make a change at the time of his
wifes death, the death benefits were paid
to the members brother in Yugoslavia des-
pite the fact that he had been cared for, and
his funeral expenses were paid by the chill
dren Of his former wife who had preceded
him in death.
We have reason to believe that this was

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1856
G. F. u. Tour
= riday Last, our

r riday Last our tourists In Yugoslavia
completed the itinerary insofar as the
sightseeing is concerned. All that remains
is their return trip back to the good old
United States In the meantime, some are
visiting with their relatives in the villages,
or Selos, as they are called over there.
Not having received even the slightest
unable to report anything in respect to the
tours. Evidently the gruelling schedule of
the tour has prevented the originally plann-
ed reporting. Hoping that the old saying
mo news is good news is true in this case,
we are pleased to think that with the con-
clusion of the scheduled tour and our rep
resentatives having some time for relaxa-
ton, reports should begin to reach us soon.
If not, we feel certain that series of de-
scriptive articles will appear after their re-
turn to our shores.
This period of time being spent on their
own we believe will serve to fulfill the
desires of every one. Those that have
friends and relatives will have an opportu
nifty to visit with them, while the others
will have an opportunity to take various
side tours until time for their departure.
Being on their own they can 60 places and
see things of their own choosing which in
our opinion will be the most interesting
part of the whole trip, Meeting and talking
with the people on the streets and in the
fields is the ideal way to supplement the
knowledge derived from tour of any coun-
try. In seeing their way of life and hearing
their comments, one can acquire much
greater knowledge than by merely parti-
cipating in an organized group.
During this period of independent ira
Yelling and visiting, our group is scattered
throughout the whole of Yugoslavia, ex-
periencing the varied existing living condi-
tions and customs as practiced in the vari-
Gus provinces and their many towns and
villages. We hope that on their return, they
all find time to inform us of their impress
sions experiences etc. Undoubtedly our
readers will be interested to read what we
believe will be the most informative cover
age of any touring expedition in Yugosla-
via to date.

port of the political assassin Docic who faced Court
in zagreb.
The Croatian Alliance dominated the whole colony.
At meeting April e. 1914 appealed to the Croatian
immigrants of America to join the Alliance in the struggle
against Austria Hungary There also existed group Of
priests who did not side with the Alliance and in fact
favoraby disposed towards Hungary had
leader the Rev. Dr. Mirko Kac parish priest from Johns
town, Pennsylvania At the beginning it reacted mildly
upon the agatons of the Rev Gskovc and the Croatan
Alliance; later it began to protest and fight back.
The leaders of both groups had their minds concen-
trated Europe living physically only in America. The
daily life and destiny of their brothers around them did
not in the least them. The Croats of Allegheny
County faced economic crisis and series of strikes
at the beginning of 1914 The workers of Westinghouse
Co. in East Pittsburgh ceased work and other strikes
followed
Except for prosperous businessmen, more pre-
cisey saloonkeepers the multitude of Croats not at
all improving their conditions These precarious
that all hope of early return to their native villages left
the immigrants They still living in boarding houses,
just primitively during the time of their arrival
Their position in society had but slightly improved Only
few possessed their homes. Their minds had been
set going back with savings. One of them fortunate
enough to attain his goal sent farewell letter to the
Zajedncar confessing his long repressed nostalgia for
Croatia:
a.. When, for the first time, shall plough my
land my heart will overflow with grateful feelings It will
seem to me as if were cutting my daily bread with big
knife ."+
The same nostalgia dominated the life of nearly all
immigrants. Alas, message from Europe buried their
hopes The declaration of war; July 28 1914 ended all
travelling between the continents No would leave his
adopted country any more, and would join
the colony across the Atlantic. $

and the smoke, rising from
the chimneys of steel mills
and dwellings,, mix together
and not being able to rise and
blow away, it lies over the
city and settles everywhere.
Women were compelled to
wash their curtains every
week during these dark
months and men changed
their shirts twice a day.
Now and then the city coun-
Gil and other leaders came out
with the suggestion that
something will soon have to
be done about this nuisance,
but until 1910 it only remain
ed in the talking stage. The
ordinary citizen was not much
enthused about cleaning up
the city, since he remembered
the years of depression, when
the steel mills were almost
at a stand-still and very lit
tie smoke belched from their
chimneys. "No smoke, no
work." they said. $50 let's
have smoke and what comes
with it; it is our bread and
butter.
The bad winter of 1910,
however, got some leaders
! together and they started
seriously to consider ways
and means to start a program
of smoke abatement. That
year, the wife of Richard X.
Mellon, the Pittsburgh banker
and industrialist and one of
the richest men in the state,
put before him the following
ultimatum: Either you and
your friends do something
Immediately about this, or !
move out of Pittsburgh. I can
not stand this condition any
longer"
That year, the city of st.
Louis, Mo-, which was as dirty
as Pittsburgh even though it
did not have the name of
smoky city, had taken. the
bull by the horn and really
cleaned up the city. How did
it do it? BY prohibiting all
households from burning soft
coal and by ordering industry
to install the necessary equip
ment to reduce and later do
away with all the smoke. 1t
was not easy; the city fathers

and we settled down at Nc
Kee Place, located only a few
blocks from the CFU office,
where my wife and l are still
living. Our youngest son re-
manned in Calumet, where he
was to finish high school and
from which he graduated the
following June. So far, we did
not have any real smog days,
but then it struck.
1t was in the middle of
January when we woke up
one morning and as we looked
through the window, we knew
that we were in, for a day of
blackness and smog. All dur
ing that night we were rest
less and although the win
dows were closed tight, we
smelIed the smoke seeping
through. My nostrils were
black and as I wiped my face
with my hand, it became al
most black. So this was it!
For the first time we had oc-
casion to experience the real
Pittsburgh smog.
That day the smog lied low
all over the city. The street
lights were turned on all day.
Women were walking down
the streets with handker-
chiefs tied over their noses
to protect them from inhal-
ing too much of the dirty
mixture. Since Pittsburghers
were used to this, the ordi-
nary life and business went
on as usual. The smog lifted
the next day, but returned at
intervals all during the winter
until the March winds came
and clared the air.
What caused the Pitts
burgh smog? The city is sur
rounded by three big rivers,
the Allegheny, the Mononga-
hela and the Ohio. The first
two meet right at the point
of the Golden Triangle, where
they form the Ohio, which is
a mighty body of water. On
certain days in the winter,
the water of these rivers is
warmer than the upper air,
which causes fog to form
over the city. When the wind
is sufficiently strong, the fog
and the smoke is blown away
but when the atmosphere is
almost motionless, the fog

invaded the city hall and de-
manded that the order be re-
scinded, or they would defeat
every councilman at the next
election.
But the council would not
back up. The ordinance went
into effect and soon the bene-
fits were seen. st. Louis once
again saw clear skies and
breathed fresh air and word
of this miracle spread all over
the country. Pittsburgh was
especially interested and Mel
lon, with his partners, threw
himself whole-heartedly into
the work of cleaning up the
city. A delegation was sent to
st. Louis, to see for them
selves what has been accom-
plished there and to study
how the same results could-be
achieved here. They came
back praising the st. Louis
program, organized a COM
mittee to cope with this task
and promised their full sup
port to the city council, which
was all in favor of the pro-
gram.
It takes time to organize
such big undertakings, espe-
cially If opposition is encoun-
tered, as 1t was in Pittsburgh.
The same arguments that
took place in st. Louis, came
up in Pittsburgh. Smokeless
fuel will cost two or three
times as much; industry viii
pull out if they will not be
allowed to burn cheap coal;
poor people will be hard hit
because their rents will 20
up; everyone will be hurt for
the benefit of a few who will
draw fat salaries from this
program. People wrote letters
to newspapers, expressing
their dissatisfaction with
smoke abatement, but the
three daily papers were
wholeheartedly supp o rting
the program, pointing out in
their editorials the benefits
the people would derive from
it, since it was bound to at.
tract new industries to the
city, which was gradually
falling backwards.
Pittsburgh was for many
years the tenth city in popula-
tion in the United States. The
nine, whose population sur
passed it were as follows:
New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia, Los Angeles, Detroit,
Cleveland, B altimore St.
Louis and Boston. But in the
last census, it went down to
the twelfth place, being dis
placed by Washington and
San Francisco, while MIL
waukee is breathing hot on
it's heels. This is mainly due
to the congested area in which
the city is confined and -
what is more important -.
the outflow of the people to
the suburbs.
The last decade will un-
doubtedly be known as the
era of big movements of the
population from the city to
the newly opened suburbs.
This movement has not yet
subsided, but is still going on.
The ~. S. News and World
Report, in its August 10 is
sue carries a very interesting
article under the heading
"Why people move out of
cities, showing the present
trend which, if continued un-
til 1878, will increase the
population of the suburbs Of
large American cities by 65%,
while the cities themselves
will grow only on the aver
age Of 1919.

Maj. Daniel L. Melvin of Fay

ously. the Russians had been
satisfied with a list of convoy
personnel.
DiscOntinues Searches
The Russians told the United
States Army yesterday they were
dropping their policy Of search
ing Western military traffic be-
tween Berlin and West Germany.
The Army had feared the So
VETS were clamping down on
allied rail and road traffic pass
ing through their zone. Russian
guards forced a 10-truck United
States convoy to abandon Its
weekly run Wednesday from
West Berlin to West Germany.
The Russians made new de-
mands for identification papers
and the right to search the
trucks for concealed persons. ="
The Americans-three officers
and 10 enlisted men-returned
to West Berlin rather than
comply. To reach the West
German border the conveys
