PITTSBURGH - Some ell
derly couples will receive
their Social Security benefits
this month combined into a
single family-check, George
w. O'Brien, district manager
of the East Liberty Social
Security office announced to-
day.
Wives of retired workers
who filed their claims within
the last month or so will have
their benefit amounts COM
bined with their husbands
old-age and survivors insur-
ance benefits, if they are liv-
ing at the same address, and
are not entitled to old-age in
surance benefits based upon
their own work records.
Up until now, Mr.. O'Brien
said, retired workers and
their wives have been paid
their benefits each month in
separate checks, although in
many cases, one of them
would take both of the checks
to the store or to the bank to
be cashed.
Being paid their monthly
Social Security benefits in
a single check will make

pier for mapy of these cou-
Piles, and if they have been
paying fees to have their
checks cashed, they will
now have to pay only one
fee instead of two.
Mr.. O'Brien emphasized
that the combination of the
husbands and the wife's ben
efits into one check in no way
affects the rights of either in
dividual to his or her benefit,
nor the amount of that bene-
fit. Both of them must sign
their names on the back of
the check before the check
can be cashed.
MethOnd On Trial Basis
The new method of pay
ment, which is being institu-
ted on a trial basis, is expect
ed to cut the expenses of the
Government in issuing and
mailing checks and to relieve
congestion in post offices "a
round the first of each month
when Social Security and
other Government checks are
mailed out.

curity.
Separate checks will also
continue to be issued where
either the husband or the wife
has been determined to be in
competent to handle funds.
Regarding Objections
Any beneficiary who for
any reason objects to having
his or her benefit amount
combined with that of a
spouse will be paid by sepa-
rate check, Mr.. O'Brien said.
He or she need only no
tify the Social Security
office.
The new procedure of pay
ing husbands and wives by
combined check, he pointed
out, will not be extended to
all elderly couples on the So
cial Security rolls before
September 1856, until it has
proved successful and produc-
tive of the expected savings
in administrative costs.

Through a long historical
process from the original Slav
settlers, the Serbian, Croat,
ISlov vene, Macedonian and
Montenegrin peoples formed
into separate national groups.
SIXTH CENTURY under
Avar domination-At the be-
ginning of the 9th Century
the Slavs descended into the
Plains of the Danube and
spread across the Sava and
Drava rivers, then proceeded
south of the Danube to the
lands dominated by the al
ready weakened Byzantium.
At the end of the century the
Slavs fell under the domina-
ton of nomadic warrior tribes
of the Avars.
Slavery Under Avars
SEVENTH CENTURY -
King.Samo and his state-Un-
til they were defeated at the
walls of Constantinople, sla-
very under the Avars lasted
approximately fifty years.
The first Slav state which
spread from the Carpathians
to the Adriatic Sea was form
ed by King Samo. The state
existed as long as its founder.
During the wars with the
Avars and the Longobards
(Lombards) it disintegrated.
EIG H T H CENTURY -
Grouping of Serbian tribes
Under Prince Viseslav Wish
e-slav), between the tooth
and 8OOth year, the Serbian
tribes living in the provinces
on the Neretva, Tara, and Pi-
va rivers, (now southern
parts Of Yugoslavia), organ
lied and formed a tribal alli-
ance.
NINTH And TENTH CEN
TURIES - Southern Slavs
and Christianity-At the be-
ginning of the Ninth Century
the Serbs and Croats, until
this time worshippers of ma
ny gods, accepted the Chris
tan religion.

FOretaste OF Freedom
Unexpected spectators at
the celebration were the 1850
passengers on USNS Gen.
William Langfitt which ar
rived in the harbor during
Saturday night, Oct. II, from
Bremerhaven, Germany.
Chartered by the Inter-
governmental Com mittee
for European Migration,
this ship had aboard men,
women and children from
various European countries,
who are coming here to
establish new homes.
AS the ship could not dock
until Monday to debark its
passengers, it lay off Liberty
Island in order to give these
prospective Americans a fore
taste of the land of their
adoption.
Int. Secretary Speaker
Secretary of the Interior
Fred A. Seaton was the prin-
cipal speaker at the birthday
party. Liberty and the
search for liberty are the soul
of the place where we meet
today" he said.
eff we could look into the
heart of the millions who
come here to view it hum
bly, year after year we
would find that most of
them gain here a renewed
and strengthened sense of
the ideals which are theirs
to uphold as Americans.
Establishment here of The
American Museum of I'M
migration cannot fail still
further to strengthen the
conviction that ours is a land
which has offered both free
dom and opportunity to the
men and women of other
lands. 1t will at the same time
give us all a livelier and
keener realization of the con-
tribution that they in turn
have made to the land of their
adoption.

said:
Mine is the happy assign
ment to call on you and on
all our fellow Americans
throughout the broad reaches
of our beloved Nation to join
in giving at the foot of the
Statue, which is a symbol of
all our free American institu-
tions, lasting substance to our
gratitude for the benefits
which we have inherited from
our forefathers who have
come here from all parts Of
the world to unite in preserv-
ing and enriching the free
doms which the Statue SYM
bolizes.
"The gift will take the
form of The American Mu-
scum of immigration which
will be established i'm the
as yet uncompleted base Of
the Statue. 1t will tell for
all time the epic story of
the u. S. A. as developed
and recorded by successive
waves of immigrants.
1T will also contain two
important features. One will
be an auditorium where ap-
propriate ceremonies can be
held to celebrate special ami
versaries close to the hearts
of the various peoples who
have come here to weave
themselves into the fabric
and pattern of America, and
yet to retain pride in their
ancestral traditions. The other
special feature of The Mu-
scum will be it's Hall of Rec
ords in which the names of
all contributors will be pre-
served forever.
Music for the program was
furnished by the First Army
Band and Virginia MacWat-

one appeal to the public for
support. Starting Oct. % the

lating another group on the success of an
affair held Oct 27 1856 under it's aegis,
the Croatian-A American Social Club Of Ali
quippa, Pennsylvania.
1t was the membership of this Club
which saw fit the night of Oct. q last to
tender a Testimonial Banquet in honor of
Anthony j. Kubik, the Prothonotary of
Beaver County pa and the first Amer
lean of Croatian descent to hold major po-
ltical office in that County.
Here, as in the case of the Croatian Day
Committee honoring bro. Lucas, public at
tention was called to another Croat who
had made good and brought credit to those
of his nationalistic descent.
Both members of the Croatian Fraternal
Union, bros. Lucas and Kubik deserved
their respective moments of acclaim Mel
ther came by them the easy way in life.
BRO. KUBIk is still young man and
may go on to greater things in the body po-
litic if the cards - votes = fall right for
him during his campaigns of the future
Should he come to sip of such success,
he will owe much of it to the fact that he
was brought to the attention of powerful
Beaver County leaders in all walks of life
through the medium of the Oct. q fete held
in his honor by the Croatian- American So
cial Club of Aliquippa.
We are pardonably proud of the small
role we played in this fine affair.
The pleasure was all ours.

Their bitterness against us in recent
weeks has known no bounds. They would -
if they could cast us into the depths of
hell for reporting on a country not to their
political specifications.
Let them rave and rant. We're not buy
ing their obvious attempts to have us name

of The American Museum of

established at her feet to tell
for all time the epic story of
the peoples who have come
here from all lands and cul-
lures to find and to help pre-
serve the freedom, oppor-

which Miss Liberty is the
worlds most famous symbol.
The Statue of Liberty cere-
monies were under the joint
auspices of the Ladies Aux

their artistry many more times in the

CFU members all, these youngsters put
on" a superb show Oct. % in the Farrell
Junior High School and did so before very
large crowd of patrons who turned out IN
spite of local Opposition appeals to boy
colt the Concert.
Why anyone would want to boycott
cultural performance staged by 26 Amer
lean born youngsters is beyond us. But
some people will stoop to anything to car
nv out orders" from their leaders
This is to be regretted, of course But
facts are facts and reporting them on the
pages of the Zajednicar for the edification
of our fellow members is our duty
THERE is great deal to be said about
the Farrell "Sloga" Junior Tamburitzans
and their rise to prominence i'll the short
span of no more than three years.
Performing in the native attire of the
Croatian people, they are sight to behold
as they are put through their PAGES by
Director f. c. Koss, a veteran, master Of
the tamburitza arts and an mspiratlonal
leader in the eyes of his youthful players
singers and dancers.
In fact, we referred Oct % to the "Slo-
ga" Junior Tamburitzans as a Duquesne
University Tamburitzans Orchestra Gin
miniature" for despite their youthful
years - they are indeed "a carbon copy
of the famed Pittsburgh ensemble.
Certainly those who have watched the
Farrell youngsters perform will agree that
they are both highly accomplished and pol
ished for their still tender years,
WHAT AMAZES us Is that 26 young
sters, American born raised and educated,
can be sold on the noble idea of perpetual
ing the culture Of their forebears.
With everything from television to
sports to serve as distractions, these boys
and girls rehearse regularly twice week
and perform during concert program as
If tamburitza music, singing and kolo dane
Ing meant the world to them.
Overseas, in Yugoslavia, their teen-age
cousins" are forgetting the culture of their
forefathers in favor of American jazz and
hillbilly music - giving up kolo dancing and
taking to rock n roll - disdaining their,
beautiful native attire for blue jeans and
Lewis. We know. We were there.
What a strange spectacle that of Gro
attain youth in Yugoslavia going American
in it's ways while American youth takes up
tamburitza music, songs and kolo dancing
la Croatia at it's very best.
Yes, strange indeed.
Hence our boundless admiration for the
"Sloga" Junior Tamburitzans of Farrell,
Pa, and all other such youthful cultural
groups in the United States and Canada.
