as a craftsman.
Shortly thereafter h e
was promoted to a higher,
more responsible post.
Accepts Job In Paris
The installation of the
American telephone sys-
tenn in Budapest was super
vised by a Mr.. Puskas. He
was to leave for Paris
when his work here was
completed.
Realizing Tesla's abili-
-ty to do a fine job, Mr..
Puskas invited the am
bilious young man to
accompany him to Paris.
Tesla gladly accepted
the invitation to work i'm
that French metropolis.
Following his arrival in
Paris, Tesla got a job with
the Edison Company and
first met Charles Batchel-
lor. Mr.. Batchellor was
Manager of the Paris
works at the time and an
intimate friend of and as
sistant to Thomas Alva
Edison, the far famed
American inventor.
Tesla tells us that while
in Paris II had to travel
from one place to another
in France and Germany to
cure the ills of the power
plants.
Directors Amazed Him
There was a French COM
pany at the time which
built a power plant at
Strassburg, Germany.
This plant, as many 9TH
ers, had its troubles in
those days. And because of
Tesla's knowledge of the
German language, together
with his rapidly growing
abilities and efficiency,
he was sent to Strassburg
to correct and improve the
plant so that it would prove
acceptable to the German
government.
Here he corrected the
wiring and vastly i'm
proved the dynamos,
thus saving the French
company from a serious
loss. For this he was
promised a promotion
and a fitting reward.
But when he returned to
Paris for his reward he ran
into difficulties.
There were three dlrec-
tors in the company and
each sent Tesla from one
to the other with the claim
that "the other" had the
sole authority to act in the
matter.
To his amazement, Tesla
learned that the promises
were but empty words.

THE IMMINENT erection of this Amer

lean Museum of immigration which is
to be National Shrine - brings to mind
the greeting the late President Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt gave to the Daughters of
the American Revolution.
Knowing at the time that the OAR was
very much interested in ways and means
of restricting immigration to the United
States he smiled and said:
Fellow immigrants :"
The salutation didn't sit we'll with the
ladies and the President was never again,
invited to address the touchy Daughters.
But with those two words he reminded
his listeners of the beginnings of all Amer
leans, with the exception, of course, of the
Indians. He reminded them of the true ma
ture of "Americanism."
X
1T is commonplace to point out that
every American, except for full-blooded
Indian, is a descendant of an immigrant,
yet many prefer not to pore over this un-
disputable page in history.
These would deny that thousands made
their way to these shores in years past to
contribute their part to the building of the
great Nation we know today.
They would deny also the process by
which those immigrants of varying races,
creeds and cultures became part of the
life stream of the United States, the heart
and soul of America
Yet it is true as a Danish immigrant
once said Of his kind, that :.
I'VE came not empty-handed, but
brought with us rich inheritance"
Perhaps these words should be embla-
zoned over the doorway to the American
Museum Of immigration for they are as
American as anything we have ever read.

tourists Delight
By Stephen f. Brkich

by Stepnen Il. BFkIcil
Campaign Committee Secretary
No visit to Yugoslavia can
be called complete unless the
tourist from abroad takes in
the breathtakingly beautiful
Lakes of Plitvice in Croatia.
Located not far from
Zagreb, these are sixteen
lakes in all situated one
above the other on ter
raced ground and connect
ed by foaming cascades.
The poets write of the
Plitvice as. here sublimi-
ty blends with lovliness and
wild romanticism with. idyl-
lie calm.
Dark Blue, Then Green
From the first lake, the
vast Proscan, extend the
upper lakes in wide valleys
surrounded by ancient green
broad-leaf and stately pine
forests.
In the Eow dark blue, then
greenish waters of the Pitt
vice are reflected the sum-
mits of the surrounding,
towering mountains.
In contrast to this pic
ture of calm, the four low
er lakes lying in a deep,
broad hollow surrounded
by steep rocks give the
visitor an impression of a
wild beauty, whose climax
is reached in the gorge be-
low the lowest of the SIX
teen lakes.
Bre a k in 6 against the
rocks of the gorge, it's wa
ters pour into it with all
their might and together
with the Plitvice, which cas-
cades down in a glittering
waterfall from the opposite
steep rocks, they form the
river Korana. I
CFU Party Due Aug. 8
The Croatian Fraternal
Unions Yugoslav Tour Par
ty is scheduled to visit the
Lakes of Plitvice on August
s, 1856.
The trip to the Lakes
from Zagreb will be via de
luxe motor coach.
1t is said that August
is the best time of the
year to visit the Plitvice
and enjoy rowing on or
bathing in the blue-grecn
waters of this most scenic
OF many scenic spots in
Croatia.
Certainly those who will
make the trip with the CFU

to look forward to when
they come to this part Of a
vacation none will ever for
get.

If you work in employ

If you are self-employed,
you should report your

A special method of re-
porting is provided for
self-employed farmers. AS

From the Social Secur-

This matter was discussed at length

THE SOLUTION calls for the grantin

X
in the future, or beginning with the next
school term, of twenty (2O) Scholarships
in the amount of $4,000 per grant.
The Supreme Board voted to set up an
account in the Sports and Education Fund
in the amount of S4,OOOO0 for assistance
; to needy and worthy students and rule on
the 20 most deserving applicants at its next
session in September, or in time for the
Fall School Term.
The 100000 account arrived at is the
sum originally discussed by the Delegates
to the last Convention while the 20 Scholar
ships to be granted represent IL more than
the number 81 suggested during that
quadrennial gathering.
X
THE CROATIAN Fraternal Unions
past experience with the granting of Schol-
arships was not always of pleasant ma
ture. Which cannot be denied
But that was because of the lack of a
sound, logical basis for the granting of
such aid - the absence of which could lead
to but one thing, injured feelings
The present Supreme Board is we'll a.
ware of those practices of the past and will
undoubtedly bend over backwards next Sep
tember in order to steer clear of them when
arriving at the twenty scholars most de-
serving Of future aid/
This does not mean that everyone will
be satisfied in the long run.
Human nature being what it is, no one
can satisfy everyone, There is no such thing
as all-around satisfaction when people deal
with people like themselves; not when many
apply for the same thing and only few
come into it.
The Supreme Board should bear that
in mind when it takes up the applications
for these twenty Scholarships.

ularly appropriate because it says,
In a few words, what many rural

Food freezers, may be the chest

refrigerator. They range in size from
around 3lz to 90 cubic feet Of storage
space. Those holding approximately
700 pounds of food are considered
about right for most farm families.
However. college home economics
departments are finding that even
small families which thought 2 or
e-foot cubic capacity freezers would
be large enough are now discover
ing that they should have bought
those with capacity Of from IL to

the needs of your family carefully.

be most economical for your re-
quirements, as well as at comfort
ably into the space available.
All packages stored in freezers
should be labeled. To write on
heavily waxed containers, heat the
pencil lead first-or use a special
labelling pencil. Gummed stickers
often become separated from pack
ages during storage. In general,
freezers should be defrosted once or
twice year. Don't worry. however.
If you get behind on this job. The
U. S. Department Of Agriculture re-
ports that an accumulation Of even
III inches Of frost on inside walls OF
the freezer does not result in tenn

down on storage space. Excessive
