VERY MUCH in this statistical pictur,

was, is and always will be the Croatian
Fraternal Union of America, the largest
organization of its kind on earth.
Our Society ranks 25th among the 157
Millionaire Societies" in North America
with assets which stood at S24, 142, 397 go
as of the beginning of 1856. And its net
gain in insurance in force in 1855 was
S767 ,931, an exceptional record for an or
ganization of its size,
We could go on and on with these facts
and figures, all of which speak volumes for
an organization - the Croatian Fraternal
Union of America - which had no more
than 1892 in assets when it began bust
ness in 1894.
Rather, We will let that unbelievable
start speak for itself.

which should go doWn in history as a mayor
contribution to a far better understanding
among the many peoples who have helped
make Pittsburgh the most unique metro
polls of ethnic groups in the United States.
Without the wholehearted support of
the local fraternals, the Croatian traternal
Union of America among them, Duquesne
University could not have undertaken this
Folk Festival. OF that we are more than
positive.
In fact, Pittsburgh is the better off for
it's many fine fraternals.
TUESDAY, June ii, will offer more
proof that Fraternalism is a living, breath.
inc thing in the City of Pittsburgh and a
mighty asset to the community.
On that day Flag Day throughout
the United States - the u organizations
active in the Fraternal Societies of Greater
Pittsburgh will celebrate the holiday with
a "spectacular' on Pittsburgh's TeleVision
Station WQED.
Scheduled from 700 to 500 PM, the
program will constitute one of the high
lights of the national observance of some
thing with a meaning, Fraternal Week, and
feature the contributions to the American
Wav of Life of the societies whose men,
bership represents eight outstanding ma
t~ionality groups in Western Pennsylvania.
Said Walter Basye, Editor and Publisher
of The Fraternal Age in commenting on
this June IA undertaking: "A special tele-
vision program will highlight Fraternal
Week on Station WQED in the Pittsburgh
area. Because most of those affiliated are
nationality societies this is a fine thing;
the officers and members like to show their
love for America" Which is precisely the
truth.
And again we are pleased to note that
the Croatian Fraternal Union Of America
will participate in an endeavor of the first
magnitude, a great Fraternal salute to Flag
Day on the part Of eight nationality groups.
Need we offer more proof that Pitts
burgh is THE Fraternal City,"

Leadership

When Barnabas went up there
to Antioch. commissioned by the
church in Jerusalem to look around
and use his judgment about what
to do, we read that he saw the
grace of God and was glad" But
the grace of God, in man or church,
does not iron out all the problems.
We have to think And Barnabas
must have thought long and hard
about one problem which concerns
every church large or small: lead
crship. Barnabas could easily have
taken on smaller church; but
that one at Antioch was just too
big for one man, any one man.
He could have picked up some
assistants there. no doubt, and
stayed as top man; or he could
have invited in one of the Jeru-
salem leaders. But he needed
more than raw 'chaplain' assist
ants" And the Jerusalem leaders
would have felt pretty strange in
an inter-racial church. SO Barna-

Democrats being repeatedly mentioned as

triumph in Texas increases this possibility,
and Texas large electoral vote does not
hinder his chances of being the Democratic

The johnson victory offers Southern
Democrats, who wish to work within the
framework Of the National Party, to do
their stuff at the Chicago Convention. 1t
is probematical, however, whether they
can achieve the results necessary to pre-

Whether they can or not. the Johnson

that the parties concerned representing

on the executive committee of either or
both you can count several more meetings
each year. There is national association
of newspapers and another for printers.
Just to keep up with ones own business or

of the year and the income. All of these
meetings are pleasant, broadening and
sometime profitable, but time consuming.
OF course no one person could attend all
of the meetings, conventions and com
