Congress Takes Steps
Congress has recently
recognized the individual
and social Importance of
long-continued disability.
In 1854 the law was
amended in recognition
of the impact of disabi-
lity OH benefits which
would subsequently be
paid to the person at age
65 or to his survivors i'm
the event of his untimeIy
death.
Periods in which a work.
er has been totally disabled,
as defined in the law, are
to be omitted in computing
his insured status and the
average earnings on which
his eventual old-age bene-
fit and benefits to his de-
pendents or survivors are
based.
Just Pride In Statute
The people of the United
States can take just pride
in the progress which has
been made under the So
cial Security Act toward
developing basic protection
against economic misfor-
tune.
By providing only ba-
sic benefits, the program
stimulates ind ivi dual
thrift and initiative; it
does not replace them.
The combination of indi-
vidual self-reliance, private
company pension plan S,
and the Federal Social Sc
curity program are assur-
ing the social and economic
independence Of the Amer
lean people.

the Social Security Act

Under the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance pro-
gram, the original act COW
cred less than 4 per cent
of the working population
of our country, while today
80 per cent of the working
population can look for
ward to a more dignified
retirement, and the head
of the family can feel Sc
cure in the knowledge that
his survivors will receive
financial assistance in the
event of his death.
In 1910 a few hundred
thousand monthly benefit
payments were made. So
cial Security checks are
now received by well over
Z million people each h
month.
Individual To Family
The Social Security pro-
gram has given increasing
recognition to the signifi-
cance of the family unit.
In 1889 the emphasis
on old-age insurance was
shifted from the individ-
ual to the family. Bene-
fits were added for the
aged wife and minor
children of a retired in
sured worker and for
family dependents of in
sured workers who die
either before or after re-
tirement.
In countless h 0 m c S,
therefore, Social Security
payments mean that an old
couple can live out their
remaining years together;
that children in families
broken by death or separa-
ton can continue to re-
ceive their mothers care;
that families in which in
come has been reduced or
terminated by misfortune
or old age may have an as

these programs have les

Step Forward

kAuch was accomplished for the good of
Vi the Croatian Fraternal Union during
the March 1924, 1856 semi-annual meet
ings of the Societys Supreme Board.
While differences Of opinion prevailed
more often than not during the meetings
we are pleased to note that the members of
the Board were in general agreement on all
major problems which came before them
for settlement.
All in all, this Board, elected in Septem-
Der of 1855 during the 9th Convention at
Philadelphia, gives promise of being very
capable administrative body.
Which should please our fellow mem
bers in the United States and Canada.
OF ALL the decisions handed down by
the Supreme Board, the one pertaining to
the Societys Lodge Secretaries and Nest
Managers was truly step forward.
This decision calls for Lodge Secretaries
to be reimbursed fifty cents for every mem
Der on their books at years end, starting
with 1856, and Nest Managers to be reim-
bursed ten cents for every Term member
and twenty-five cents for every Permanent
Type Insurance member listed on their as
sessment sheets at the end of the year.
These payments arc to be made with the
compliments of the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on the first Slav fraternal in North Amer
lea to inaugurate such practice.
THIS DECISION by the Supreme Board
does not relegate to limbo the Societys An
nual Membership Conservation and Bonus
Awards. These remain on the books
Nor should this new decision lead Lod-
ges and Nests to cutting the small salaries
they are now paying their Secretaries and
Managers, for to do so would be most un-
fair, most unjust
1t is generally agreed that very few
Secretaries and Managers are adequately
compensated by their Lodges and Nests.
Hence the desire of the Supreme Board to
aid these officers and imbue them with
greater desire to serve the Society,"
Since the Lodge System continues to
remain the heart and soul of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, this decision of the Su-
preme Board was in perfect order

loIo, VI Nhoi''
According to the "Matica
Srpska," a we'll known
publication of Now Sad,
Monsignor Tesla was wide
ly known as an author and
a regular contributor to
newspapers, particularly to
the "Srbobran' published
in Zagreb.
His mother Georgina
(Djuka), whose maiden
name was Mandic, was
an inventor in her own
right, according to her
internationally renowned
son DIR. Tesla.
So much for the parents
of one of the greatest men
in our history.
Serbs, Croats Differ
A question often raised
in the past pertained to DR..
Tesla's descent.
Was he a Croat? Or was
he a Serb?
Not long ago, bro.
john Verbos, SteeltOn,
Pa, a member of the
Croatian Fraternal Uni
on's Supreme Board. put
it this way: 1.-THE
Serbs say he is theirs,
and the 'CrOats claim he
is theirs. Well, he is still
a Slavw
Let us settle this insig-
nificant question once and
for all, forever l hope, by
referring to what DR.. Tesla
himself said. When he was
asked this question. and
that was time and again
during his lifetime, he an
sWered: - 81 am a Serb,
but | am also a Croat, be-
cause that is one and the
same thing"
Which, admittedly, is not
an authoritative answer TO
the question.
Wasn't can Austrian"
| have checked various
encyclopedias in which arc
recorded the great name of
DR.. Nikola Tesla and the
work he accomplished for
the progress of mankind.
In these books a person
will learn that DR.. Tesla
was neither a Serb nor a
Croat, but simply IAN Aus
trian". Permit me to cor
rect this grave error by
referring to the life Of the
man himself.
One Of the requirements
of the United States Patent
Office is to submit true
identity when you apply
for Patent Rights. Here is
how this requirement is
found on the record in the
case of DR.. Tesla:
"To all whom it may
concern: Be it known
that I, Nikola Tesla,
from SmiIjan, Lika,
BORDER COUNTRY of
Austria Hungary, resid-
ing at New York, N. Y,
have invented etc, etc,
etc"
This makes it amply
clear that DR.. Tesla did
not say that he even came
from Austria, still less that
he was IAN Austrian" He
simply stated that Lika is
a "border country" Ger
tainly the record proves as
much to my own satisfac-
ton.
A Brilliant Scholar
1t will be exactly one
hundred years on July 10,
1856, that DR.. Nikola Tes-
la was born and | trust all

number of fathers of
great men had the same
desire - to see their
sons follow their foot
steps in life.
Young Nikola Tesla was
a student at and graduated
from the following schools:
Smiljan, Elementary or
Public; Gospic, "Gimnazi-
ja' or High School; Rako-
vac (Greater K arlovac
Croatia), "Realka" or Col
lege; Graz, Polytechnic In
stitute; and Prague, Uni
versity.
Professor Amazed Him
In regard to his Higher
Real Gymnasium" days at
Karlovac, DR.. Tesla is re-
corded as having said:
"My studies at karlo-
vac interested me =.
and 1 completed the
four-year course in three
years, tackling the
school work with a dan
gerOus enthusiasm.
"The lasting favorable
impression which I carried
from Karlovac concerned
my professor of physics, a
clever and original exper-
iffienter, who amazed me
with the feats he perform
ed with the laboratory ap-
paratus. I could not get
enough of this course.
II wanted to devote my
whole time henceforth to
electrical experimenting. l
knew I would not be salts
fled in any other field. My
mind was made up; | had
selected my career.
Gospic Stricken Town
After graduating young
Tesla came to Gospic in
spite of his parents order
to stay where he was.
They had not told him
what was going on in Cos
pic at the time; they forgot
to warn him that an epide-
mic of cholera was raging
in their stricken commu-
nifty.
So he came home to dis
close to his parents his de-
cision to start on a career
"to make the study of
electricity his life work"
He found that his plan
was definitely opposed,
first because he violated
their order not to come
home at that time, and
second they feared that
his chosen career would
m a ke dangerous de-
mands on his delicate
health.
Then, as his parents had
feared, their son became i'll
with cholera the very first
day upon arriving in Cos
pic.
DR.. Tesla tells us that
"the sinking spells came on
with startling regularity,
each one with increasing
depth"
Father Made Promise
One day his father en-
tered his room "and tried
desperately to rouse me
and stir me to a more
cheerful and hopeful atti-
tude in which l could help
myself.
He gathered enough
strength to whisper to his
father: Il could get well if
you would let me study
electrical engineering" His
