Well Done

Il congratulations for a job we'll done are
~ due the individual members and Lodges
listed among those supporting the national
drive to raise S5 millions to erect an Amer
ican Museum of immigration (AMD at the
foot of the Statue Of Liberty.
These lists have been appearing peri
odically in the Official Organ and each
brings the Croatian Fraternal Union closer
to its AMI pledge of S5,0O0.OO.
The response of our members and Lod-
ges to this drive strikes us as genuine proof
that Patriotism and Fraternalism are sy-
nonymous in the ranks of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union. For that matter, they always
have been in our Society.

Historical Work

WE are pleased to recommend to the
w members of the Croatian Fraternal
Union a book entitled "Croatian Immigra-
ton to Allegheny County Penna.)", the
birthplace in 1894 Of the Society itself.
The 55-page book, written in the English
language, is the work of bro. Stjepan Gazl,
a member of Holy Trinity Lodge 20 of
South Side Pittsburgh, Penna.
BRO. GAZFS book is tribute to the
first wave of immigrants to hit Allegheny
County in 1892 and those who followed
them to the United States in later years
Particularly engrossing is the authors
handling of the countless trials and tribula-
tions of those hardy immigrants, men and
women who suffered much before they were
accepted" by their so-called peers" of
yesteryear.
In short bro Gazi has made wonderful
contribution to Americas lore Croatlana"
and is to be congratulated for bringing his
work before the public.
One reading of this book will make you
all the more proud of the fact that you are
of Croat descent or extraction.

cate which eliminates graded
death benefits.
Whereas the old certifi-
cate prescribed a rising
scale of death benefits, be-
ginning with but SIT for
the first six months and
rising gradually SO that
only after Ia years of
membership did it guaran-
tee the full $500, the ESQ
issues give the maximum
coverage ($6O0) right from
age l.
Significantly, the prepaid
dues remain in force so that
the new member, enrolled
within six months Of birth
and providing further that at
least one parent is a C.F.U.
member, will receive a full
year of protection free of
charge. Furthermore our an
nual S month waivers for
Junior Term dues likewise
remain in force, so that the
member pays but Z months
for a full years protection.
Exchange Is For Better
In only one respect do the
holders of the new CSC Term
contracts give up anything.
That is the reduction in
Transfer to Lodge Credits
from the old maximum of
$3.50 to the new high of
$500. 1t is this choice that
the parents have to make
for the benefit of imme-
date maximum coverage is
it worthwhile to accept
smaller transfer credits?
We think that it is and for
that reason have now given
you this added time to make
the exchange.

Depth Sounder Friend
Now a familiar friend for
many years, the depth sound

With careful navigation
there is seldom danger of
running aground. But the
depth sounder is a priceless
ally when rough weather
catches a ship close inshore.
Where charts are detail
ed and accurate it can even
help the navigator pick his
way cautiously over the

This kind of pathfinding is
made easier by an attachment
that records the soundings on
moving graph paper.
Loran Amazing Thing

sure the bearing and distance
away of any object revealed
on the screen.
The navigator must remem-
Der, of course, that his ship
is moving-even though the
spot representing it on the
radar screen remains fixed in
the center. Actually, radar
shows the combined result of
an objects movement and the
movement of the ship on
which it is installed, not the
movement of the object alone.
Gyro Compass Improved
A new radar system called
"True Motion" will show both
the movement of the radar
ship and the movement of OBJ
jects, independently Of one "a

Recently developed by the
Decca Radar Company, it al
lows the navigator to watch
his own ship threading it's
way among others as though
he were looking down from
an airplane overhead. Poten-
tial dangers are thus quickly
recognized we'll in advance,
without involved calculations.
The gyro compass, a top
like mechanical device that
uses the earth's rotation to
find direction, has been great
ly improved since Elmer Sper-
ry introduced his just before
World War I.

tween receipt Of a signal
from one transmitter and re-
ceipt of a synchronized signal

BY comparing pulses from
the two stations with a loran
receiver, the navigator can
read off the time difference
in micro-seconds from a dial.
And by finding the intersec-
ton of the two appropriate
lines on the chart he pinpoints
the ships position.
The amazing contribu-
ton of electrOnics is the To-

time radio waves travelling
10000 miles per second.
To do this it must split a

Radar Developed During World War II
Science Goes To
Sea For Protection
OF Liners, Tankers
By Erik I'll. Arctander

NEW YORK -- Even the
mightiest ocean liners, only
decades ago, navigated the
Atlantic with not much more
equipment tn an Columbus
used in 1892.
A lookout scanned the ho-
rizon, the helmsmen steered
by a sometimes uncertain
magnetic compass, soundings
were made with a lead weigh
ted line, and the navigator
fixed the ships position with
sextant and chronometer.
Today the bridge of a mod
ern ship is likely to be cram
med with electronic gear,
some of it scarcely thought of
before World War II. Radar
sweeps the horizon, seeing"
objects through pitch black
ness or fog. The helmsman
steers a true course electri-
cally, while watching the dial
of a gyro compass repeater.
A depth sounder bounces
h ig h-f r equency sound
waves off the ocean bot
tom; it times their split
second trips and converts
this into fathoms, electron-
ically.
And loran (LOng Range
Navigation) fixes the ships
position in minutes by radio.
How Does Radar Work?
How do they work?
Radar is by now a familiar

lid object they rebound and
are picked up back at the
antenna,
Electronic circuits time the
rebounding pulses and record
the position of the object or
a circular screen-much like
one in a TV set.
What a navigator sees on
the radar screen is a minia-
ture view of what he would
see by eye, i'm perfect wea-
ther, from the bridge of his
ship. In both cases it is as
though he were standing at
the exact center of a sau-
GER, whose rounded edges
are the horizon.
A bright spot marks thu
ships position at the center
Of the radar screen ant
reaching out from it is a thin
luminous line representing thu

coast-to-coast membership in the Dominion
of Canada is no idle gesture.
The Home Office Of the Society at Pitts
burgh has long recognized the Importance
of Canada to the future Of the Croatian
Fraternal Union. The Forthcoming Cam
paign will simply accentuate this fact and
do so in more ways than one.
Canada is rife with recruiting posslblll-
ties in every one Of the Provinces wherein
the Society is licensed to do business -
Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia,
Alberta, Quebec and Manitoba. Our field
there is as intriguing as it is tremendous
in scope.
For a Society as great as ours not to
Gull that field would be sheer folly and an
open invitation to its competitors to step
into Canada and take the cake"
The Croatian Fraternal Union has no
intentions along that folly-line.
